lol, that would be way too on the nose for me.

Muffy, I prefer to leave that sequence as I’ve got it but thank you for mocking up your idea. 😃 😕

And I don’t have the ability to smooth out slowed footage. Can anyone stretch that shot, though? It’d be seamless if smoothed.

My stance on revising fan edits.

Which clip do you mean?

You’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Am I making Carrie Fisher’s ghost proud?”
Well, are ya, punk?

I know it’s pretty late in the edit for me to ask for new stuff but, I found these videos on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slsj4YeYaYQ , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIFlS772N1k is there any chance that Palpatine’s broadcast could be brought into the edit somehow?

Damn! That’s almost identical to the scene I’ve made. They did a good job getting rid of the time code of TFA clip but it doesn’t work in reverse.

Has anyone thought of using this as the ending of the movie? The music and everything make it more powerful than the original one.

Maybe it can be used for the Rey Nobody cut?

Without trying to sound rude or condescending about the topic of the broadcast, but why do people want it in? The crawl tells us Palps sends out a broadcast about his return and the Sith’s revenge.

Yet, through the movie, or at least the first time we see both sides (First Order’s board room and Rebels after the get the intel) and the concept of some radio broadcast is not even mentioned, or let alone eluded too. A simple line from either one side (or both) could have said a simple line like “So the broadcast was true/real” or “So Palpatine himself is really behind it” could have made it relevant BUT it’s not at all. It’s ignored. Not even mentioned.

So what’s the point of it in the crawl? What’s the point of it at all if neither sides even mentions it. Heck, they are both SURPRISED or at least completely unaware that Palpatine is alive OR even the possibility of it. Really? Even after this mysterious “radio broadcast?” Not even a simple one line? There is no connection to it in the movie. Unless someone acknowledges it, why is it mentioned in the crawl? Let alone trying to put it in.

Anyway, I am really trying not to “talk down to anyone who likes it or wants it,” I just personally don’t understand the need for it since the movie itself doesn’t acknowledge it.

Plus it’s kinda over the top … at least to me personally.

Oye I hope I don’t sound like a jerk from all that.

EDIT: as for the extending Kylo’s thinking scene, if it can be smoothed out I like the to add a little breathing room.

“Because you are a PalpaWalker?”

I think the only 2 ways the broadcast could fit would be to either put it after Palpatine declares that the final order has begun or in the first act when the resistance is huddled together to listen to the message received by Finn and Co.
Something like this: https://vimeo.com/404134108

After hearing the message the scene could go on as normal with “somehow Palpatine returned”.

Since people have asked a couple timesn now, I have a couple ideas of where you could insert the Emperor’s cut lines from that ‘Fortnite’ speech in a very subtle way.

I was disappointed in what the message turned out to be, as heard in the dumb video game tie-in. Sounds vague and useless.

You know why? Because it is. I just don’t get the appeal for it. I really don’t.

What do you think about using some of them as whispers?

I know you’ve used the titles of TFA and TLJ for your sequel trilogy Hal, but have you considered a new title for this one? The Rise of Skywalker just doesn’t convey what this movie (where the Skywalkers go extinct) is about.

My suggestion - Heir to the Empire. The film is about Palpatine’s heir and trying to decide whether it was Kylo or Rey. It’s a classic Star Wars book title, thus fitting with PT naming choices. Plus it gives a good ol’ George Lucas level rhyming scheme to the names of each Trilogy’s Climaxes.

Revenge of the Sith
Return of the Jedi
Heir to the Empire

Preferred Saga:
1/2: Hal9000
3: L8wrtr
4/5: Adywan
6-9: Hal9000

If you still wanted to reduce the blue on Luke’s force ghost, I’ve been working on toning it down with a lot of masks. Here’s a rough cut that still needs a lot of adjustments
