Here is the first pass of Rey V Zori on Kijimi… there are couple masking issues and the first scene needs the saber to be toned down a little but pretty good for a first pass I think. I am excited get working on the first Lightsaber fight next.

pw - faneditI absolutely love the idea of the saber being unstable, it really adds to the idea of Rey flirting with the dark side whilst also addressing the damage caused in TLJ.
Will you be doing two versions of the Exegol scenes? One with Leia’s lightsaber in blue for people to use in their own personal edits? Also, will you be adding the effect to Jonh’s Force Ghost scenes?
So I plan on really tailoring this to Hal’s edit, so definitely with the purple lightsaber and definitely with Jonh’s ghost clip.
I hadn’t really planned to do Leia’s blue lightsaber but honestly it wouldn’t take a lot of effort to do it. In fact it would be super easy as I could use the same masking work from the purple clip and replace with the blue clip, so yeah I can do Leia’s blue lightsaber for people to add to their own versions.
Ngl, at first I didn’t like the idea of the cracklin saber. But after watching all of the tests you’ve made I’m all for it.
Thanks! I completely understand, its kind of an out there idea… I actually never really thought about the lightsaber being broken in two at the end of TLJ. I wanted to make it way more subtle than Kylo’s crackling as I wanted it to reflect Rey flirting with the darkside. Kylo crackling is out of control and wild, much like his personality, so it needed to be way more toned down then that for sure.
