I’ve been avoiding watcing any other workprints of Ascendant since the initail one as I’d rather watch the finish product but as Hals stated that this current version 6.1 is pretty much the end result unless the crackling sabre footage and Lukes wig being worked on shows up, this is it. So after watching today I must say, it all just works flawlessly 😉👌.
I really can’t find fault or any major things worth changing at all, and I tried so hard to find things while watching but could only come up with a few small things so well done all involved…
Knights of Ren Voices
These additions were a billiant idea and add so much more charactor to the Knights of Ren, the only line which seems slightly off was when Rey teleports the sabre to Ben one knights says “what, how?” the what is perfect dropping the how would leave that slight audio pause while Ben shrugs which would work better.
Evil Palpatines End Monologue
Simply put he does waffle alot at the end would be nice to just see whats going on for a moment without him explaining what hes doing, specifictly after his lines…
“The life force of your bond, a diad in the force”
then cut the rest of his bad guy monologue and just show him restoring himself and cackling
Dirty Knights
This is more of a whats this scene about as I really never did get this can someone explain why Kylo and the knights are dropping all that dirt out of them 🤨.
Anyway quality edit and my go to for ROS, looking forward to Hals commenary track on final release.
