The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant (Released) — Page 182

Would’ve been great to see Canto Bight affected in some way. To show an end to the war machine. Tough I don’t think a Destroyer falling above it would work for that. Maybe the lights of the casino shutting down? + a Broom Boy cameo.

If you want a new musical sting for Dominic’s establishing shot, the official soundtrack has a different sting for the beginning of that scene:

You could use that sting for the beginning, then use the theatrical sting for the second establishing shot.

I’m glad you’re here to tell us these things.

Also, if we are to get a fourth planet in, ideally I think it’d go like this:
Bespin (music is made for it)
Coruscant
Corellia (daytime)
Naboo (using the nighttime shot before Sio Bibble is “tuken away” because I removed it from my TPM edit anyway)

My stance on revising fan edits.

IMO, I think if you leave out the transports landing, but go straight to the interior shot of the stormtroopers disembarking and then charging into battle, it looks good. I also think muting the Battlefront footage would help, if you were to keep it in.

Strongly agree here. Not that I’m a big fan of the Battlefront stuff, but the landing is the worst part due to the odd speed and camera angle, and there shouldn’t be any voices when they leave so that it flows a bit better into Kylo’s reveal.

I threw together a SUPER rough cut in the default Windows editor of how this would look.

I like the battlefront footage, but I don’t want to throw half the viewing audience. The people that I showed this to that I know in real life were themselves split along the lines of people who play video games and people who don’t. I don’t know what it is about that footage, but if it is going to be drawing to a number of people I’d prefer not to include it in the very first scene. Just having the one shot of the TIEs added works better than I imagined it would. So I’m happy for the TIE fighters to show up, have a drum solo for a minute, and then proceed with the movie.

Agreed Hal best to keep it simple here, as previously discussed are we still able get some troop blaster fire on ground in this new shot, signalling a battle is already underway.

I wouldn’t want to lose Jakku. A.) because it’s Rey’s home planet and B.) because it’s where this trilogy started and C.) Because there’s sort of poetry to the destroyers of this war becoming relics on Jakku, just like the war before. I’d also very much prefer Naboo to Corellia because I think anyone who didn’t watch Solo (which is a lot of people judging by its box office performance) would be lost.

I agree with octorox. I don’t think we should lose Jakku.

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

If I had to choose, it would be Naboo over Corellia. But theres still chance for all of them.

Bespin - Coruscant - Naboo - Corellia - Jakku

I’d put Coruscant last since It’s best one

Isn’t it odd that the star destroyers are just hovering above these planets waiting to be attacked and not just firing their cannons as soon as they arrive?

They aren’t part of the Sith Fleet, they’re regular First Order destroyers. Although this seems to be a point of confusion for a lot of people, so maybe something could be done to clear it up?

My preferred Skywalker Saga experience:
I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX

Considering they don’t have world destroying cannons in this edit, the clearing up is already done.

I can live with those four planets 😄

Only as a personal pet peeve I’d swap Naboo and Coruscant’s places. I don’t know why (maybe the catharsis factor) but I find fitting to show the Jedi Temple when the music is at it most triumphant point (0:13 in the last video).

I was thinking Coruscant should have been last, honestly wouldn’t care if we got rid of Jakku to make room for something else like Corellia.

The Naboo shot should linger a bit longer, could we slow down the pan speed?

JEDIT: wait? Is that just a still image with a Ken Burns effect?

It’s just a placeholder for timing.
