Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Redux Ideas thread — Page 70

I guess Luke was acting rashly, against his masters’ insistence. Whereas Rey is like a new Force messiah. Just different situations.

I think Rey glowing is more appropriate than a shield that doesn’t deflect anything.

Good enough for me!

Force Shield concept V1

Again, this is looking so freakin amazing!
SO good, in fact, might I suggest the camera shake you’ve added to the shots of the Jedi ghosts being slightly reduced?
The only reason I’m suggesting reducing the effect is so that we (the audience) can see them a bit better. Specifically, the shot that pans from Yoda to Obi.

I agree with this. I think a glow would be better over a shield of some sort … that doesn’t really do anything since the lightening is hitting the blades.

Removed Rey’s unnecessary grunt, made slight changes to her interaction with Leia ( idea from movies remastered)

I like moving Rey’s repeat of “nothing’s impossible” to right as she’s heading away. Seems more like she sincerely agrees with the reminder rather than petulantly deflecting it.

Yeah she seemed a little dismissive in the original, like “OK granny, whatever”.
I think all the scenes between Rey and Leia will likely need to be reworked.

Hey everyone! Love what you are doing with the content.

I am testing some footage out, it’s far from perfect right now, but wanted to get your opinion on if I should spend the time on it.

When Rey meets Kylo on the Death Star remnants. I added some Palpatine Opera music, as well as changed Rey’s eyes to turn sith when talking to Kylo.

Why? Well, when Rey first says “give it to me” Kylo gets scared, but it seems for no reason. The eye change will surprise Kylo.

P.S. Also adding a Battle of Heroes redux from Battlefront 2 to their fight.

That was creepy as hell, which is probably the reaction you’d want from the audience.
I think a more refined, very subtle version would work better though.

Yeah, the eyes are only possible for official, ordained Sith that filed the paperwork.

Well since in the ST you can become a force god with little to no learning curve, might as well go all the way right?

The Separatist murder should have taken place first, since Anakin probably would’ve liked to kill those guys anyway. Then once he’s got a taste for blood he can be sent to the Jedi temple. There’d have to be a reason for him to go to a lava setting after that, though, because as we all know the duel took place with lava.

Thanks for the input! Any suggestions on where to add the subtleness? Maybe the eyes only show once? Is the palp music in the background a good choice?

I think the music is just right, as for the eyes I would recommend a faint red tint, something that would go under the radar on first viewing.

Why the Music in The Rise of Skywalker Felt Empty by Sideways.

He makes a lot of good points about the usage of certain themes in scenes where they don’t belong, and why it weakens the impact of the theme as a whole.
Interestingly enough, according to him a new recording of dual of the fates was supposed to play(the one from the trailer)in the scene where Palpatine is about to initiate the ritual"the time has come!".
This made me really think about changing up the score in a few places throughout especially seeing as it could potentially improve the film on an emotional level.

Yeah, that is a big problem. I bet a lot of thematic material was deleted or shuffled around in post, and as a result the music doesn’t quite feel right.

There’s no way that’s true. The trailer music is way too epic to be from Williams, and it wouldn’t fit the scene at all.

The scene itself consists of chanting that is almost similar to the duel of the fates choir, I don’t see how it wouldn’t fit.

I think his source is the JWfanpage but from what I understood the chants in the duel trailer were collected from the original soundtrack and then mixed with trailer music.
