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.

I 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.

Wait, did I miss something? Is Leia’s saber being made cracklin’ too? Why?

If you did that I would be eternally grateful

Nah, but Anakin’s saber appears in scenes with Leia’s saber and some want to use the blue version and some want to use the purple version.

@jordan_winter no problem! Again it wouldn’t be anymore work at all, just switching jonh’s clips out

I would love a PM with a link to v4 (or whatever the latest version being talked about is), this sounds great!

Since we haven’t heard back from DominicCobb in a while, I decided to re-cut two samples for a Rey Nobody edit. I think Dominic’s work with Kylo Ren and Palpatine at the beginning and Rey and Luke’s scene are perfect cut together for a Rey Nobody attempt. I’m not sure how you feel about the way he cut together Kylo Ren and Rey’s Force duel with them telling the story of her parents, as that could possibly be used for the Rey Nobody edit.

Anyways, here are some samples for a Rey Nobody edit.

I think Palpatine’s line, “The only family you have here …is me” still works in the context that they’re not related, as it is something he could have said to Vader at the end of Revenge of the Sith after mourning the loss of Padmé.

During the Exegol arrival there is no music, added music from The Last Jedi soundtrack and it really improves and increases the stakes of the scene, feels a lot more intense with this added I made sure it lined up with the shots in the scene in-terms of pacing it in correctly.

Test: https://youtu.be/l3rwZUhTP0k

Uses music from Last Jedi Soundtrack.

I like it! Also, I have no idea whether it was intentional, but I like having Kylo’s theme play just as Poe says “help is coming” because it sort of foreshadows Ben arriving to help Rey.

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

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.

Just as an FYI the first part of “Battle of the Resistance” from the soundtrack is unused. That’s what I’ve inserted.

Hal, is there a clip of your version of the duel with the Solo bit?

If First Order/Kylo theme doesn’t work. I’m gonna see if I can get something Palpatine related to fit.

I have to say no that that at least due to a seeming misuse of the Kylo Ren motif. 😕 sorry.

I agree fair enough, Kylo isn’t actually in the scene where thats from btw.

I don’t know what you thought about the samples I posted, Hal. Just for a future Rey Nobody edit.

Sorry, yeah, I didn’t have time to respond when I saw it and then I forgot!

I had blocked up that scene at some point before and I don’t remember exactly how it went. But I feel like it was better that way and didn’t leave any lose ends. (The ending scene)

The hangar scene doesn’t feel right to me, as theres a dramatic reveal that Palpatine tried to kill her because of… something he didn’t know.

Sorry, I know that’s kind of negative and vague for right now.

My stance on revising fan edits.

I think the last time Kylo’s theme is used for the First Order is the opening scene of TLJ. Even so, this is the Final Order.

Don’t worry about it, I think it needs work too, but cutting it together this way is how we can get around it as a start. I am proud with how the Exegol scene turned out.

And the PT and OT each have a movie with no capital letters in their crawl. Same goes for my edits of them.

Burbin said:

Fair enough, it works either way.

I’ve been working on the subtitles and I gotta say, it still feels off to not have the words “First Order” and “Resistance” be capitalized on the crawl, since they were on both TFA & TLJ. On TFA “FIRST ORDER”, “NEW REPUBLIC” & “RESISTANCE” are capitalized. On TLJ, since the republic is gone, it’s only “FIRST ORDER” & “RESISTANCE”. Then TRoS goes waaay too far, capitalizing “EMPEROR PALPATINE”, “GENERAL LEIA ORGANA”, “REY”, “FIRST ORDER” & “KYLO REN”.

But it would make sense to go back to the way it is in the previous two, it would feel more cohesive, specially since they would work really well with the current crawl: “The tyrannical FIRST ORDER has retaliated” & “to unite the disparate worlds in the name of RESISTANCE.” I think it would be better to keep it consistent amongst this trilogy, rather than looking for a pattern from the previous films.

On a different note, I also think it feels wrong to name drop Mustafar on the crawl, since it only appears for two minutes and is mostly irrelevant to the main plot. The scene is meant to imply Kylo has been scouring the galaxy for a way to reach Exegol. Some previous unseen search (across however many planets) has lead him to the wayfinder on Mustafar. Which is just another stop on his quest for Exegol. Similar to how Rey’s quest leads her to Pasaana, Kijimi & Endor. The way the crawl is right now it sounds like Kylo only went to Mustafar, the original crawl’s description of Kylo “raging in search” made it more clear he was on a larger quest than just a one-two stop.

We all wish Mustafar had more screen time, and there were several attempts to extend the sequence. As it stands right now it works well enough as a small cameo (it would be great to get Fortress Vader in the background, to make it clear it is THE lava planet), but it doesn’t make sense to put it in the crawl, given how it’s really not important.

These two points would really help the crawl feel legit I think.
