Don’t get me wrong, I love Lando in this movie. The nostalgia is strong, I just wish there was more going on above Rey and Palpatine than what we got. ANH, RoTJ and RO space battles all had stakes and better pacing. As soon as the armada shows up, there is no more tension. The music just helps to cement the resistances winning is a forgone conclusion. Also as soon as Pryde’s ship is destroyed, it’s like the Sith Eternal and the FO just fall apart like a cheap suit. I don’t know if there is anything that can be done in editing to rectify this, besides removing the wide shot of the armada to reduce the unbelievably factor of that mass of ships assembling at one time. However, it just a concern I still have after seeing all this amazing work stitched together. If anyone could come up with something, I know it would be this super talented community we have here.

I wish that the film had, instead of having everyone show up at Exegol, showed a coordinated effort against the First Order across the galaxy. Earn the star destroyers crashing above Bespin and the Forrest Moon of Endor.

I get how once the navigation goes out that all the Star Destroyers crash but the Resistance ships miraculously don’t… but what about the rest of the First Order throughout the galaxy? If everyone went to Exegol, who was fighting everywhere else?

The easiest fix that would require hardly any work would be to cut Lando’s scene until after Uncle Palps is dead as well… then it would be more believable that they came at the last second and finished off the fleet… maybe

Yes, that is definitely the easiest fix. However, if Lando doesn’t arrive until after “the senate” dies then we lose Palpatine’s force lighting into the sky which might not be the worse thing since I still scratch my head as it how he didn’t lightening his own forces during this.

Lando lead around a death squad to take down all the Star Destroyers in the galaxy afterwards.

Is this idea feasible? Because it kind of rules.

Yeah, Lightning into the sky was meant to combat the Lando ex Machina… moving it to later would make that even less earned of an ending. In my edit, I moved a lot of the Resistance stuff later, making Rey be there for longer, which also allows Lando more time to catch up. It’s still a little rough, and convenient, but I feel like it helps it not be that everyone roughly arrives at about the same time.

Lando pulls a Holdo maneuver into the last Destroyer while letting out a gluttonous laugh.

That would help excuse cutting his dreadful scene with Jannah… explain why he’s not in a single other frame of the celebrations.

Okay, here’s my mix of the fleet dialogue chatter

https://vimeo.com/423025361
fanedit

I tried to make everyone sound like they were actually coming through the comms, while widening the sound so it surrounds the viewer a bit for a sense of scale. Let me know if at any point the layering is too dense or empty, or if any specific lines should stand out more or be buried a bit more.

NEW POST TO REPLACE MY OLD ONE

So originally I had posted a Streamable link here with my take on the 9000 fleet, but I was unhappy with it and got some new ideas from axlanian.

I’ve tried to make it sound less like a roudy commentary track, I balanced them out a bit more as well, so that everyone isn’t just talking at the same time and to make it more clear what they’re saying. I moved the direct mentions of Poe to later on, and toned down the "For Skywalker"s. I also made someone’s line, “9000 crew” be the first thing you hear. 😃

Edit:

This one is the same arrangement as the previous one, but with improved surround sound and radio filters that are now unique to each character, instead of being all the same:

Magnificent! The comlink effect is seamless! Watching and hearing this was so moving.

Maybe you could move the “we believe in you Poe” to after Finn’s line, as Chase Adams did, and in its place put the Mon Calamari line so it can stand out a bit.

Whoa, sorry to pile on, both sound great! This is going to be fantastic!

I just came to say I’ve updated Options A and Option E of the Falcon end shot (pw: fanedit) with a few new tweaks, and I think this is close to end of the road for work on this! I’ll make both links downloadable and post to my Master Clips folder in the next day or two with any final tweaks.

For both, I made the Lars Homestead smaller by 10%. It may not sound like much, but it is significant. At first, I tried it at 20% smaller and, in my opinion, it felt like the composition was out of scale and unbalanced. I do recommend Option E overall because I feel like the pacing and scale feel much better to me, but to each his or her own!

And here’s that Very Important Update to the Tie Replacement Alts.

Option E looks great, though I’m not completely sold on that lens flare. I do like the second little flare and I like the flare in the moment it passes the camera, but after that it’s not perfect for me. I think it’s just one of those subconscious things where you can just kinda tell it’s not quite right for whatever reason. I think lens flares are just a little pesky like that. Maybe an option F without it?

Also, after fiddling around with everybody’s civilian fleet submissions, I came to discover just how awesome your voice is! 😄

Haha, thanks Chase! I had a lot of fun doing that audio!

Dom, I agree on the flare. It might be just a bit much in the middle of the shot (I agree the 2nd smaller one looks good). If you think it looks good just as it passes the camera, I’ll taper it off much faster so it doesn’t linger so much! Thank you!

Much appreciated lol

Also, I think this is literally my first post ever, but I’ve been stalking this thread for a while now and everyone’s work is just absolutely fantastic.

Woah, mate…

Just recognised that you were the one who says “We believe in you Poe!” Your delivery is so perfect with all the lines you sent! Have you done voiceovers before?

Also, I can tell you’re from New Zealand, but do I detect some Aussie in you as well? 😄

For real, best voice of the bunch (besides maybe the Mon Calimari guy), his “For Skywalker!” friggin’ owns.

Oh crap! I’ve been so busy that everyone has already sent in their lines! Hopefully I can send them in by next week.

Is it possible to add a second shuttle (with Chewie inside) that start behind Finn and moved to the right of the screen? Little smaller than the first one. So we can see on second viewing, that is starting a second shuttle and nobody see it.

IIFanEditor’s edit of TROS did that.
Here’s the link to his clip:https://vimeo.com/400221468
PW: fanedit

Thats not good, Rey can clearly see it. I mean Finn is showing with his hand to the left. And in this Scene must a second one moving on the Right side of him to the Right. So Rey only See the first Shuttle and will stops it. That looks better i think.

  1. As I said countless times, this was all a V1, not definitive.
  2. If Finn is pointing at that one, why should Rey think Chewie is inside the other transport?

EDITS LIST:
Episode IV - THE HEIR OF SKYWALKER. Episode VI - RETURN OF THE JEDI RENEWED. DYAD IN THE FORCE (3-into-1 sequels).

Awesome! Welcome aboard then, always nice to have another brother from the southern hemisphere on here, I do lots of my posting whilst everyone else is asleep, so It’ll be good to have someone of a similar time to me.

I just sent in some of my own lines to Hal so pretty soon the fleet of 9000 will have a new member, in all of his Australian glory!

Let this also be a gentle reminder to all of you who haven’t had a chance to submit yet, Hal is still recruiting! We don’t really need anymore “For Skywalker” lines since we have lots, but we may need more lines like: “Let’s go!” “Right behind you Lando/Poe!” “We are the fire that’ll burn the first order down!” etc… etc…
