And I’m sure I’m retreading the same ground, not that I remember, but it seems that the Burning Homestead theme pretty much has to come in and out at that exact moment. Otherwise there’s a definite gap in score that does not feel right. No music at all is extremely underwhelming. So not only does it seem to need to be that piece, pretty much exactly as it is, too.

If anyone has video editing software that can process LUTs, you should be able to plug in skenera’s LUTs. There’s just three: one for Exegol that I am planing to apply at 50%, one for Pasanna that I plan to apply at 100%, and an overall green reduction for the rest that I plan to apply at 75%.

I don’t know if you need to recontextualise the line, Finn and Rey don’t immediately talk about Lightspped Skipping until Chewie interrupts. Here is how I handled the scene:

I like this mockup, this works really well, the only change I’d make would be that when you cut from Finn and rey being interrupted by chewie to them and poe talking, it would be a little less jarring if in that next scene you show rey saying what happened instead of just audio of it and then the rest of that scene

Hal, since I’m assuming you are keeping the scene as is in the edit, do you know which video editors can program LUT’s so that I could add back in some things later to fit in the lut used for this project?

Out of curiosity what are you adding back in?

Just the original version of the scene of Finn, Rey, and Poe with the light speed skipping references intact, or something similar to the mockup that JakeRyan17 posted on the last page, as I am assuming Hal plans on keeping the edited scene the way it currently is as of the last work print. Other than that I’d be keeping it the exact same as I agree with every choice made on the change list.

I’m not sure. I’m using FCPX for that phase of things after exporting from FCP7 (which was end-of-life’d in 2011). The end of the road is near to me in terms of NLE for the near future.

That’s what I’ve been thinking about a lot. I don’t have the hardware or the software to try to add things back into the edit when it’s completed that didn’t bother me and I think are necessary (pretty much just the Lightspeed skipping conversation)

Honestly though I think if you showed the scene with a reference to Lightspeed skipping to anyone who hasn’t seen the movie before they wouldn’t think it was anything bother than what they saw

How did I forget about adding the lightspeed skipping scene back in? Lol, it’s one of my favorite scenes in the movie

Hal, I know this is a long shot but would you consider rendering a version of your final edit with that Lightspeed skip conversation intact? I could host it on my own google drive since I understand space is getting low on yours?

FWIW I really prefer the edited version, it’s really not jarring to think Finn would walk over while Rey & Poe talk. I mean they need to deliver the message asap, the edited version flows better. Losing the hug is a worthwhile cut to remove the pointless ramblings of lightspeed skipping, wich are way more jarring without any setup.

I prefer the edited version as well.

Cinefy, keep experimenting with Prequel music. It may not generally work, but I’m still curious to see if maybe it can.

I think the rambling is just as pointless as “power converters” or “moister vaporators” or “speaking boche” or “thermal oscillator” or “compressor adding stress on the hyperdrive” or “GIVE ME THE HYDROSPANER!”

When audiences see the original film they see the Falcon flying into different parts of space rabidly and they hadn’t seen that before (set aside that it’s stupid). The question is then “what is that??”

Answer in the film and canon; Lightspeed skipping

When watching the film now with Lightspeed skipping removed we see the falcon punch through a solid object while moving into hyperspace, something we have never seen before.
Question. “Didn’t the last time we see a ship fly into something at Lightspeed it destroy almost a whole fleet? Why doesn’t this maneuver destroy the falcon?

Answer: “you Lightspeed skipped? You can’t Lightspeed skip the Falcon!”

The audience now knows that the maneuver Poe and company did by punching threw the ice wall is different and a risky maneuver with an in-universe name. With a simple line of technobabble the question is settled. Without it, the question remains, “why were they able to punch through the ice wall?”

If we had not seen the act of Lightspeed skipping before, if we didn’t have that context, I don’t think that line would be in contention at all.

I understand everyone’s reasoning, I’m sorry that I’m harping on it I mean no offense, just want to explain my thinking. The added bonus is retaining one of the very few interactions we have between Finn and Rey.

I don’t think the Falcon even punches through the ice wall at hyperspeed. To my eyes it looks like it breaks through the wall, then accelerates to light speed after. Lightspeed skipping sounds to me like it’s describing some kind of specific maneuver that doesn’t map cleanly onto anything we see the Falcon do in the remaining chase sequence. Having the reference in there is going to remind me of the cut sequence every time I watch the film.

+1 They clearly jump to lightspeed AFTER they break through the ice, nothing in that moment indicates any special maneuver beyond “I hope the Falcon can break through this ice”.

And I think “you blew both sub-alternators?” is enough techno babble for that scene, “lightspeed skipping” sounds like something bigger than random babble, and it’s jarring to drop that in with no further reference. Removing any reference works much better and that tiny interaction between Rey & Finn is not worth it.

Now we all know why Luke wanted to go to Tosche Station so bad and pick up some power converters. His friends told him he should try lightspeed skipping a sand speeder.

heil Palpatine!
