Well we also need a fourth version of a Star destroyer being destroyed, right?
As for Palpatine’s message, this is a pretty decent version that has the vocals isolated from the background music. With a bit more audio treatment and it could fit into the briefing scene with Poe pretty well.

Hmm, it would seem like a weird choice to pick something esoteric. And it’s okay as is, just raising the possibility.
I guess there were some steam effects in the center channel so I’ll revisit it!
Fourth planet. Hmmm. Part of me thinks tatooine, The first planet we see in stars (movie release not episodic. Though we do go back there later, the crashing/destroyed destroyers need to be in inhabited planets that are significant.
Of course, we do go back there at the end, but I dunno what else to use.
“Because you are a PalpaWalker?”

Honestly, all I can think of when it comes to important planets is Naboo. It was integral to the Prequel trilogy and shouldn’t be too hard. Wasn’t there talk of seeing a Star Destroy explode over Kijimi?
After being beaten and battered by prequel hate, I promise not to be that to the next generation.
Well, I added some steam back into the scene from the steamed clams I’m having. (Mmmmmm, steamed clams!)
Also, the Leia and Snap scene is absolutely better for breaking up the underground sequence in order to remove talk of the secret.
We certainly don’t need a fourth planet. Kijimi would be the best possible one to use, but there’s very little footage.
Maybe we could see a Star Destroyer blow up in space above Kijimi, since I can’t think of a good shot to use for that kind of thing from the planet surface (although would we know it’s Kijimi since there isn’t a establishing shot of the planet when they arrive or leave the planet?)
I’m sure there are some decent Naboo shots that could be used.
Another idea would be to have Broom Boy looking up at a destroyed Star Destroyer in the sky.
EDIT: How many seconds would the shot need to be?
I’d say no to Tatooine, one because it’s visually similar to Jakku, and two because we actually see it like ten minutes later in the movie.
I’d pick somewhere populated. Naboo, Canto Bight or Kijimi come to mind.
If we want to go outside the movies, there’s Lothal (from Rebels), Onderon (from the EU and then Clone Wars), Corellia (from EU and then Solo), Jedha (from Rogue One) and Batuu (from the Galaxy’s Edge theme park)
Personally I’d probably go with Naboo, even if it means two prequel planets. If we look at the movie as a whole, the OT has three planets represented: Endor, Bespin and Tatooine.
Batuu is a very interesting idea I hadn’t thought of! There’d be an abundance of shots and angles to use too.
Regarding Kijimi, this is all I can find that shows the sky and doesn’t have any people or anything in it. Maybe some simple vfx of some snow falling could bring it to life? https://www.starwars.com/databank/kijimi-city
Hal, you call them “steamed clams” despite the fact that they are obviously grilled.
Seeing as to how we’ve added Coruscant to the end montage already, it seems almost critical that we add it to the scene of the conference room, so it’s a ‘+1’ from me to see that idea come to life.
I LOVE the idea of a fourth planet being added to both preserve the music and strengthen that little montage… We just need to come up with something, I understand the desire to show Kijimi since it wasn’t destroyed, but I feel it might shrink the scope of the uprising if we show I planet we literally just saw. I like the idea of using an anthology planet rather than a saga planet so that we have one from each, might I suggest Corellia? It’s a well established planet in the EU, most fans will recognise it from Solo, and it has a massive population that would have been oppressed by the First Order so a ‘rising up’ would be appropriate.
In order to make the montage a little more visually diverse, consider the colours of each of the planets, Coruscant: very yellow, Bespin: orange/red, Jakku: quite brown. Originally, Endor was there, adding a lot of green and blue. I would argue that if we add another planet, it should be something to this effect.
Corellia is very blue:
Yeah my two cents go for either Corellia or Naboo.
I like Corellia because it’s the closest way to acknowledge a EU planet. And Naboo because it seems the idea of retconning Ajan Kloss to be Naboo has fallen by the wayside, and there’s that pretty good Theed Palace night shot that could serve, bringing more visual variety to the montage. As a small bonus for those who have prequel fan-edits as headcanon, the Naboo night scene where it comes from is cut in several fan-edits, so in a way it wouldn’t stick out as a reused shot 😄
And I agree Coruscant could serve as a nice treat for the boardroom scene (RogueLeader’s idea is worth trying). I don’t remember if the movie outright states that the First Order is politically controlling the galaxy (even if it’s the most evident outcome of TLJ). Having Coruscant at least would imply that being the case.
I think I noticed Aurora Borealis in Hal’s kitchen…

And what might you be referring to Hal?

Discussion about other planets. Corellia would be a good choice, I’ll admit.

Yeah, Corellia is a great idea for a spinoff planet to include. Maybe the sky in that screenshot could be changed to night, those deflector shield spheres could be edited to be burning, and a falling star destroyer could be added to the sky? Just some ideas.

Could the boom moment from TLJ lend another source for a blowed up star destroyer?

I REALLY want Corellia! 😫 But I never intended on that shot being used, as I don’t think it would really be fitting, I just wanted to give a visual example of it. I actually kinda hate footage from other Star Wars films being repurposed in fanedits, unless, the original source has the footage removed or the footage has been heavily edited.

I agree, that’s why I was suggesting changing it to night. Hopefully major changes like that would make it unrecognizable as reused footage.

Man, I wish it were at all feasible to have all of you over or rent a theater or something and have 9 to 11 Saturday nights in a row for a viewing of this whole thing. With popcorns, prizes, drinks, and an anonymous ‘Apples to Apples’ style game of drafting innuendo lines from each movie. Possibly even video games, like a mini-tournament of N64 Racer.
I’ve thought a few times of getting myself a Hal9000 shirt just for such an impossible occasion.

Just watched the latest workprint. Looking good! I think I’m starting to develop stockholm syndrome for this movie…
Still trying to think of things to do during the first Ajan Kloss meeting. Even with no broadcast, and putting the “Somehow…” meme aside, the lines between Poe and Leia about Palpatine secretly always being behind everything from the shadows is just the worst, and Leia telling Rey “no” with no follow-up before she leaves is so awkward.
