Hey I have an idea @adobewan !

Instead of going through the trouble of trying to edit Leia’s Saber out the epilogue, just add the flashback of her and Luke training together during the bit when Luke is opening himself back up to the force (on the cliff at night)… Or maybe just after he sees the hologram of her that R2 plays. Make it look as if it’s Luke himself experiencing that flashback.

EDIT: forgot to mention earlier that, in order for this to work, the narration Luke does during that training sequence would obviously have to be removed. It would have to be just a silent sequence, with music.

I suppose it could be left to the audience to conclude in their heads that Leia did some training, and then left to focus on rebuilding the Republic.

I really appreciate the suggestion. That’s the best idea I’ve heard for this aspect of the film so far. I’ll give it a shot and see how it comes out!

Glad I could help! Hope it goes well!

I also have an idea for what you could do with broom kid:

During the sequence when all the star destroyers are falling, keep all the music the same, but get rid of cloud city, so that the only planets from that sequence we see are Endor and Jakku, and then in the space where Jakku used to be, add the close-up shot of broom kid’s hand with the rebel ring on it, followed by the close-up of his face smiling, and then followed by the final wide shot of him looking at the stars (and fade to black there, just as the music ends). The Tattooine epilogue can then immediately follow that!

Broom Boy likely won’t be in V1 but I’ll give this a shot when I’m working on V2 and see how well I can get it to work

Sounds good. Best of luck with both v1 and v2!

I completely understand, that’s good to hear about the conservative cut. Is there going to be multiple versions?

There very likely will! 😄

UPDATE: I’m encoding V1 of the film as we speak. I’ll upload it shortly thereafter. Expect it to be up in the next 24 hours. Just a reminder that this edit currently using HAL9000’s Legendary edition as a base any credit for the overall improvement of the film goes to him.

Nice! Just out of curiosity, did you add the Luke and Leia training scene from TRoS to explain Leia’s Saber? Or are you just going to leave that as a loose end, for now?

I did and I think it works really well! I ended up borrowing skenera’s purple lightsaber for it and I credited both of you in the changes list.

Nice work! I think you did a really good job accomplishing your goal of making TLJ feel like the conclusion of the saga. I really like the moment where you added the TRoS flashback of Luke and Leia training, and seeing Leia with a purple saber felt really “refreshing.” Thanks again for taking my idea into consideration! 😃

Thank you! And thanks for the idea. I’m glad I could help provide a bit of entertainment.

Well does the job and I can’t fault it on a technical level…if there’s one thing I’d change is that the “rebellion is reborn today” line could be cut, unless you were trying to indicate the rebellion rose up and quickly brought the rest of the First Order to heel…there’s nothing to really rebel against with Snoke gone and Kylo proving to be a feeble obstacle. Might as well just say “I will not be the last jedi”.

Other than that, it’s very good, shows how needless ROS really is, and we’re better without it.

  • Added Leia training with Luke as a flashback, as per rocknroll41’s suggestion. This uses Leia’s purple saber by skenera
  • Removed all references to Kylo being named Supreme Leader
    (…)
  • Removed the First Order storming the base. The last we see of Kylo is him screaming in defeat
  • Removed Rey meeting Poe Dameron. Just feels like setup
  • Removed Rey and Leia’s lines about “rebuilding the Rebellion”
  • Added both the Star Destroyer montage and Rey at the Skywalker home from TROS
  • Removed Leia’s ghost from the end of TROS

I think you should have left Kylo being name Supreme leader and storming the base scenę, or part of it at least, when he grabs the lucky dice of His dad. Making him the Supreme leader for like one day Just to lose it all, would even make His failure more complete and tragical. And the moment the dice dissapear his from His hand could be the moment he truly realizes he Just lost and that Luke was right.

About Rey meeting Poe, i wouldnt consider it a set up necesarily. For me its Just the moment they finally meet After first 2 films. Its like “finally”.
I m also wondering if its possible to change rebuilding the Rebellion into rebuilding the Republic 😉

About the ending, did you consider maybe using the idea from the other thread, with the gang being on the Falcon playing chess (from the beggining of the TROS)?

I still havent watched the fanedit So Just out of curiosity, where did you introduce the flashback? 😃

Anyway, i Just rewatched TLJ yesterday and yeah, i think this movie could actually work better as the Last Episode than TROS. So much.

Thanks for the kind words! I did try to take out the rebellion line but it just didn’t flow right and I didn’t think keeping it was too distracting when I watched it again. I may give it another go around in V2

Your first two suggestions I had kept in when first showing friends and they just didn’t quite work for me, though I may still try to reincorporate some of the last Kylo scene in V2.

The chess idea sounds good and I’ll see how well I can get it to fit!

I put the flashback just when Luke and Leia connect through the force

Im wondering if it would fit well some where when Leia is doing her force Superman flight in space. Like Quick flashback and then she wakes up in space and fly.
