The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant (Released) — Page 181

Almost everything about Leia is awkward. I admire the attempt they made but I don’t think it holds up.

I wish she were still alive. It’s a damn shame, that’s for sure. You know she was having a great time and was looking forward to IX bring ‘her movie.’

Would cutting her “Always, in the shadows” do anything to help? Poe saying “Palpatine was pulling the strings” and Leia just responding “From the very beginning”?

I wish they had at least phrased it like a question. Poe wondering if Palpatine had been manipulating them would have been better than just telling us it’s a fact, as if he’d even know.

Actually, cutting that and using it as “From the very beginning…” sounds conceptually very nice.
“Always” and “In the shadows” would work well as Leia sound clips when Rey touches her lightsaber.

I have a lot of catching up to do. I think I’ll get a chance to watch the workprint tonight.

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.

Maybe we can do a joint Zoom viewing?

Maybe Kashyyyk could work as the new “green” planet. It’s instantly recognizable and it’d be nice to see Chewie’s homeworld. Just take a shot from the Holiday Special.

I recommend you look up what Kashyyyk actually looks like in the Holiday Special and get back to me.

As for using Corellia, I was really bugged by the fact that removing the Ewok scene meant that the music looses a few seconds, adding a fourth planet would make it work beautifully.

Here’s another potential shot to use from Solo, although Han and Qi’Ra will need to be erased.

I jest.

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 like this one

Here’s how I would order the four planets, keep in mind that to include this shot of Corellia, a Star Destroyer will need to be added and the two characters running down the street need to go.

Normally I would vote not to reuse footage from Solo, but unless someone can find a way to create a scene without it, well…

Please, let me know if any of you have a way to create a relatively new shot instead, similarly to how Jonh and Poppasketti did.

I think we should remove Jakku and have Naboo and Corellia, that way we can have the all home worlds of the main characters in the Movie. Except Aladeraan 😦

Luke & Anakin - Tatooine (Homstead ending)

Han Solo - Corellia (Celebration addition) Solo Footage.

Padme - Naboo Theed City Shot (Celebration addition) Using Phantom Menace footage. https://imgur.com/RT7MX50

Would work perfectly.
Tatooine, Corellia, Naboo.

Scene would then obviously not have Jakku, but I definately think Bespin Cloud City should stay.

I like the Jakku shot since it sort of works well as a metaphor for the First Order fleet becoming another “relic of a bygone era”

Ideally a new shot but otherwise I prefer the first one you posted. It’s more aesthetically pleasing.

I’m second guessing the added Ach-To establishing shot. When I watch it it feels tacked on with the same musical sting. Plus the new shot has a lot of birds that don’t show up afterward.

Yeah but I doubt a star destroyer would chilling over the island, would be a waste of resources for the First Order.

?
I think you misunderstand Idir, Hal is saying he is second guessing using Dominic’s added Ach’To shot for when Rey meets Luke as a ghost. This has nothing to do with the ending montage.

The birds I didn’t mind. The new position of the sun implies to me Rey and Luke have been speaking for some time, so the birds could have left.

Maybe the musicial sting itself in the second shot could be removed/replaced?

That’s definitely a possibility. I haven’t counted, but I’m pretty sure if you go looking for John Williams music swells to put over an establishing shot, you’ll find literally thousands of options.

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

Personally, just because I think it is something Disney would do, I would love a host of a Star Destroyer over Galaxies Edge.

If I can day-dream for a moment. Imagine we all got dressed up and met at Disneyland or World and got a shot of us staring up at the sky, then added a star destroyer falling or something. Dream over…

After being beaten and battered by prequel hate, I promise not to be that to the next generation.

lol that’d be… rather expensive! And I don’t think a theme park planet in the movie itself would have gone over well if it had really been done for the movie.

Bespin… Endor… Jakku… Didneyworl!
