Couldn’t sleep so I mocked it up haha
Ending with switched up music, here’s my take:

The Star Wars Saga:
I · II · III · IV · V · VI · VII · VIII · IX | Rogue One · Solo
What was first just a dream has become a frightening reality…
Speaking of the ending, has it been decided on how Ben will appear at the end? I really don’t like having just a still image of Adam Driver’s head photoshopped onto Luke from A New Hope. I actually think it would be nice to take the clip posted several pages back of him nodding to Rey, but place his head on someone in Jedi robes.

you’re right, I’m not convinced by the result … I’ll try to improve it
Here’s a test of the ending, with pretty much everything except for a ghost for Ben.
Unfortunately the music used comes in right on the heel of a bombastic conclusion to the Resistance theme, so it’s a shame it can’t be a bit more teasing and gradual as it comes in like the original scene’s music.
It’s still synced to the original, so it’s be easy to ditch in favor of the original.
That’s a beautiful ending. Really nice scene. Are you moving Leia’s death scene at all?

No, I’m not planning to shift Leia’s death.
Hopefully Ben’s ghost can be usable and good, but of course we’ll see.
And that’s not a bad musical arrangement either.
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
Just wondering if there’s a plan to do a colour correction of sorts. Moments of this movie are actually quite ugly as a result of the overwhelming blue hue and I can’t quite get over it!
I figure that can be done at the end, but I’d welcome a set of LUTs if any are made.

What movie did they use for Ben’s head nodding? If someone passed me that shot, I could do the test, with Jedi robes

Could you use the footage of Ben smiling after the kiss?

I don’t think it’s doable based on how much of a close up shot, as well as his face being slightly obscured by Rey’s. I think using this as inspiration would help out.

I think the face is out of marriage story,

I think they do a great job here at 10:05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW-mx3xUHT0

Maybe, but again, I don’t like the idea of using a still image, as it looks lifeless.

Not a clip specifically, but the shot at the very beginning of the official trailer for Marriage Story shows that there’s definitely something in the movie you might be able to pull from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHi-a1n8t7M
EDIT: Just checked the movie on Netflix. The shot appears at about 11 minutes into the movie. He doesn’t nod like in the other video, but there is some movement.
Would this work 8:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibPkLdbG4VU there seems to be plenty of chat show footage of him smiling.

At 0:52? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8pGJBgiiDU Might need to have access to the actual movie for a longer version of the shot.

These are the ones I’ve been using, they’re perfect!
For all you fans of a non-blueish tinted Exegol, this is the one for you:
Here is my attempt at reducing the green tint.
Here is the LUT
Here is an alternative LUT that preserves lightness
Poor skenera doesn’t get enough love around here! 😕
Glad you posted that, I hadn’t known about or remembered that. Yeah, skenera is awesome!
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
With moving the lines to the first Palpatine scene, it’s just a little unfortunate that he mouths an ‘L’ sound while saying “me.” I don’t know whether this would be easy, but if someone wanted to digitally close his mouth there’s plenty of room in the shot to have the line conclude before we see his face.
It’s not strictly necessary but, goodness, I guess it’s worth mentioning given what all you’ve been able to muster so far!
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
Two more things:
Burning homestead is the best musical choice for the added ghosts, as heard in most of jonh’s mockups, so that’s what I’m gonna go with.
And, would anyone like to add a subtle double rainbow to the first real shot of the Lars homestead? It was an idea from a while back that just felt right to the group and I supposed could be seen as a way to touch on Leia’s childhood home also, since there is a double rainbow ribbon thing as the ship approaches the city on Alderaan in ROTS.
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
I’m probably in the great minority here but I really like that’s it’s just Luke and Leia staring, kinda like they are the twin suns of tatooine, It just feels right. but I also want Ben incorporated, so maybe a cool idea would be to keep luke and leia alone, and then at some point either when she smiles or some point in the middle of the sunset scene maybe a close up of his force ghost appearing and smiling as the falcon takes off, the last couple of shots would be Luke and Leia, then Rey, the sunset, Ben appearing and smiling in a close up, alone in the frame as he looks into his fathers ship taking of for the last time. And then the falcon take off.

I think Ben needs to survive. He feels really out of place as a force ghost, and the movie makes it clear that Leia only stopped training because her son would die if she continued.
Except he still died, so what was the point of her not being a Jedi?!?
Ben dying makes Leia’s storyline even worse in TRoS. Cut his death.

I like that, conceptually, but then it becomes awkward that he doesn’t leave Exegol, or have any end scene somewhere (Ajan Kloss or elsewhere). This is part of what made cutting Lando and Jannah’s scene outright difficult, because it’s the only footage of them on Ajan Kloss for the celebrations. You would still need to insert him to either that scene or on Tatooine, or create a new scene of him somewhere else alone.
Yeah, I will not be altering his death in my edit, though I appreciate the view that he should have lived.
If someone finds a convincing, natural way to pull it off, which I’m not convinced is really possible, maybe it could be included in the Rey Nobody version. But would we have to assume he left Exegol separate from Rey, avoided the resistance celebration and met up with her on Tatooine later?
Of it he is at the celebration are we to assume everyone was like “hey even Supreme Leader Kylo Ren is here, woo!”?

I felt exactly the same, hence why that is now part of my main storyline. I felt a lot of people forgot about Leias vision.
