I’ll try to better smooth out the ending to the ‘Solo’ DOTF moment, and try adding in the slower opening to the piece to trail into the original music that takes over shortly after.
Sorry if its a silly question but could someone maybe convert the workprint into some smaller, few GB, mp4 file?? 😉
Watching v2 of the workprint now.
I’m not a huge fan of cuttig Finn’s lines when the Falcon gets back to base, he just kind of abruptly appears between Poe and Rey while they’re arguing. Plus, I actually like the sassy “always” he says about Poe.
Yeah, I don’t mind those lines either, but I think it’s worth it to more cleanly remove the lightspeed skipping thing.
I found Finn’s sassy pants attitude to be a bit much.
Peace is a lie
There is only passion…

That’s my feeling on it as well.

I feel like that scene could be cut all together as it’s the first interaction with the trio in the movie and they bicker at each other, the scene where they get ready for pasaana and poe and Finn say they’re going with rey “alone with friends” is a great establishment of the year that passed between the last time we saw the three of them and now.

I’d be concerned about cutting scenes like this from the movie, as the pacing is already breakneck.
Finn was way too sassy, especially in that scene. The “always” line is the one piece of sass I would have left in though-- but it went right into all his huffing and eye-rolls and it made him just way out of character. He was decisive and awesome in TLJ then suddenly a hesitant mother hen in TROS. The lightspeed skipping argument was just redundant and so over the top unnecessary. I made the following changes to try and Make Finn Great Again and would encourage other editors to improve Finn as well:
heil Palpatine!

Completely agree! it’s so out of character. The first spice runner joke is just awful.

I’m thankful any and all reference to lightspeed skipping are excised just for my own sanity.
Much like Starkiller Base making more sense, especially but not limited to how the speed of light works.
Removing the lightspeed skipping sequence was a hill for me to die on as soon as I saw it.
drumroll Bdbddbdbdbddbdbddbbdbdbdbdbdbdbbdrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… we have a new fleet audio submission from ADIGITALMAN! He was one of the big players back in the day, and an old personal mentor. Super happy to be able to include him for this.

- Cut Finn’s line to Poe in the Falcon, “Get us back to base” and cut his glance over just before he says it.
- During the lightspeed skipping, cut Finn’s loud reaction and replaced his loud lines, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” And “HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT?” He’s now calmer and maybe more in tune with the force.
- Cut Rey greeting Finn and Rey’s extended argument with Poe over lightspeed skipping. This removes Finn’s sassy-pants line “always” referring to Poe being in a bad mood as well as Finn’s eye rolls, huffing, and acting like a sassy mother hen.
- Cut Finn’s useless line, “It’s true” to Rey after Poe storms off.
- Cut Finn’s useless line, “I’ve never seen so few Wayfinders” to depict him as more wise than wisecracking.
- Cut Finn’s prolonged glancing at the rope before he throws it at the Stormtrooper speeder bike. This was overly showing us “hey look Finn’s getting an idea.”
- As Finn is sinking into the sand, cut his line about telling Rey something.
- Cut Rey and Finn’s conversation about the secret he had to tell her.
- The final briefing ends with Poe speaking, cutting Finn’s lackluster line about taking the war to them.
- Cut Finn’s lines, “Lando you did it. YOU DIIIIID IT!!!”
- Trimmed Finn and Jannah running on top of Falcon mid-flight so they don’t ridiculously pause to sightsee the destruction around them.
- Cut Finn’s line about everyone in the galaxy rising. Too little too late Finn.
Sounds like you’re gonna love my edit!
Glad you pointed out about Finn saying “so few wayfinders” I was going to look up the script to see if that’s what he actually said as he didn’t even know what a wayfinder was less than an hour ago.
The way I cut it was to use the 4 beat clean music clip from the opening segment over Finn’s line and overlay it with a cutaway to BB8 using the desert scene from TFA when he first meets Rey.

Yeah it was actually a little involved getting rid of that line and making everything else work. The problem is as he’s walking by he’s clearly moving his mouth as he says the line. I ended up having to foley in some more canister whooshing sounds and move one of Poe’s lines.

I’m glad you’re on the same page. I’m getting nervous about my release as I’ve seriously hacked every single scene to an inch of its life. 🤣

Didn’t ADigitalMan come back to fan editing? I think he helped work on an edit of Terminator 2 back in 2018.
The name’s Lawson. Noah Lawson.
Watching the V2 Workprint, what about adding a quick flash of the removed “Chewie in handcuffs” scene when Rey senses his presence of the Star Destroyer? Add some filters to it so it looks “Force-y”.
Yeah, I don’t mind those lines either, but I think it’s worth it to more cleanly remove the lightspeed skipping thing.
Good edit! I think it would be even cleaner if BB-8 said something when you cut to him after Rey’s says, “you know what you are, you’re difficult”. Right now, it’s just the sound of BB-8 turning his head, then cuts to an inaudible line from Finn, then Rey says “what happened?”. A BB-8 line would also allow you to cleanly remove that Finn inaudible line.
I’ll try that with a BB8 sound, good idea.
And I’m not sure about Chewbacca in chains. It’d have to be the right shot, and I think we have very little to work with. I guess there’s something to be said for letting us just imagine rather than show us. I’ll take a look, but I imagine it’d be better not to.

I agree with nearly all of this, it would make Finn much better

The only part I agree with here is removing Finn wanting to tell Rey something when they’re sinking, and only because it’s never truly paid off. Otherwise, I like most of the quips and banter.
I’m only 18 minutes into the second workprint, but YES YES YES YES YES!!!
I’m convinced the restructuring that’s been done here is how the movie was intended to be edited to begin with. I have no idea how they mucked it up so bad. I know that the added footage from Dom isn’t final yet but even in its current state it’s an improvement!
Hopefully I’ll actually find time to finish this workprint (I only got 30 minutes into the first one you released). Excited to see what an extended opening on Mustafar might look like - could be the cherry on top!
Hal are you planning on adding Luke and Leia’s theme over their training sequence? I feel like it’s a lot more appropriate.
Peace is a lie
There is only passion…
Glad I was FORCEful on the restructure. Glad to hear the positive feedback for V2 😃
The Skywalker Saga:
I · II · III · IV · V · VI · VII · VIII · IX
This is the way.
