What LUT did you use, if any? It doesn’t look quite as yellow as the official BD.

Could you PM me a link to your Palpatine V3 cut? Please and thank you!

Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.

I believe I used a slightly modified version of Hal 9000’s color correction from his Legendary edit. The idea being to slightly lessen the green tint and warm it up a little.

Yeah, and all I did was eyeball it with FCP7’s color wheel, swinging away from green/yellow. I didn’t apply it at all for the blacks, somewhat for the midrange, and more for the highlights.

My stance on revising fan edits.

You guys all know you can send Poppasketti a PM yourselves to ask, right?

Just mentioning because I’m seeing a lot of “Sorry for asking, but…” type comments recently.

Somedays I wonder how many times poppa has said “PM sent!” over the years…

But, hey, speaks for his edit’s popularity I think!

Author

True!

Also LOL, I thought I was in a Hal thread when I posted that…oops! Fixed.

Sounds awesome, can I get a link to V3 please? Thank you!

Haha, no worries on the posting! I’m happy to respond either way.

I do check this site at least once a day and follow all of the threads, but work has prevented me from having time to participate more actively in what’s going on (which is not a bad problem to have, I know a lot of people have it much tougher right now).

No idea how many times I’ve said this but one more can’t hurt… PMs sent!

Hey there poppasketti,

Just wondering. Is there anything else you are wanting to do with this fanedit?

Maybe not today or anytime soon, but I’ve been in a creative Star Wars mood and I’m just wondering if you have any other ideas that you want to implement someday?

Just as a discussion? 😃

The last idea I had was one I mentioned awhile back: changing Snoke’s eyes to yellow when Palpatine’s music plays when Rey is being held in the air.

Just wondering if you had any others on your “someday” list?

Hey ziggy, good to hear from you!

I did do something with Snoke’s eyes in the throne room; not when Rey is being held, but when Snoke is cut in half. It’s sort of a tease of the true power behind Snoke as his mask slips before death.

I don’t think I have any unfinished business that comes to mind here really. The Palpatine teases were the biggest update that felt necessary to help smooth out the trilogy. Other than that, though, I don’t have any plans or new ideas for this project moving forward. Life’s been pretty busy and seems like that will only be increasing; but who knows, maybe a rewatch someday will inspire something new!

Well now that was put on the table, there’s a minor issue that bugs me. I came across to it while making the Spanish subs (WIP): “Fuel reserves at six hours.” I don’t know if this was discussed before, but why mention time when using fuel? and worse, hours in Star Wars. Mention parsecs or something else, distance. It was properly cuted out in TROS:Ascendant and I wander if it would be posible to take it out of this edit, maybe by trimming the scene a bit or even whole could work.

One thing that has ALWAYS bugged me about TLJ was Poe not knowing who Holdo is. We all know she should have been in TFA, but it’s like a solider not knowing who the Vice President is. Cut Poe not knowing who she is.

I second the “time remaining” removal.

Would it be possible to have Luke not ignite his green lightsaber on Kylo? I have seen some impressive edits of this on YouTube where the green glow is removed from Kylo and his eyes. Kylo wakes up, sees Luke hovering with his lightsaber out and looking distraught, and then Ben “turns on him” and Luke defends. I think this will help greatly to “re-characterize” Luke in the film and make Ben’s decision more his own. The whole “pulling a weapon on my unarmed nephew” is still something a lot of fans struggle with.

Since Snoke=Palpatine, is it possible to remove his mention of bridging their minds? If Palpatine was controlling Snoke then why would their connection be a surprise?! Removing Snoke inconsistences is key to making a more cohesive trilogy

I would still love to see the “slow-mo” shots removed from Kylo vs Luke like in Hal’s most recent TLJ update.

Maybe more could be added to Palpatine’s radio contact so it is a little clearer what is happening. I watched the most recent version with a TLJ first timer and they were confused. “My boy, Snoke was just the beginning, find me.”

JEDIT:
THE SACRED JEDI TEXTS!!! I think the lines between Yoda/Luke, “ahh, read them have you? Page turners they were not!” Needs to go. It makes Luke seem like he didn’t even read/study the books, but then in TROS we find out Luke did study them and annotated them. I suggest, “Luke: The Sacred Jedi Texts! Yoda: Yes, yes. Wisdom they held…”

The Skywalker Saga:
I · II · III · IV · V · VI · VII · VIII · IX
This is the way.

As much as I disagree with the concept of Luke thinking about killing Ben, it has to stay. It’s supposed to show him making a mistake that results in Ben’s fall. The change I would suggest is make it seem more “instinctual,” since the visuals frame it as Luke consciously slowly pulling out the lightsaber, standing there and igniting it, as much as I disagree with Rian’s notion that Luke is instinctively murderous, too.

Since Snoke=Palpatine, is it possible to remove his mention of bridging their minds? If Palpatine was controlling Snoke then why would their connection be a surprise?! Removing Snoke inconsistences is key to making a more cohesive trilogy

Snoke is not really a VR headset for Palpatine to play on, he’s more of his own person who listens to Palpatine.

THE SACRED JEDI TEXTS!!! I think the lines between Yoda/Luke, “ahh, read them have you? Page turners they were not!” Needs to go. It makes Luke seem like he didn’t even read/study the books, but then in TROS we find out Luke did study them and annotated them. I suggest, “Luke: The Sacred Jedi Texts! Yoda: Yes, yes. Wisdom they held…”

This helps us accept the notion that Rey apparently learned Force heal from the books.

Didn’t Poe say something along the lines of:
“That’s Admiral Holdo? Battle of Khyron belt Admiral Holdo? Not what I expected.”
That seems to indicate that Poe knew Holdo, but didn’t know what she looked like.

I’d really like to insert a Palpatine line clarifying that Snoke was an independent being. Although Palpatine created him to rule the First Order, Snoke had no idea he was being controlled. No idea where you could insert a line like that though.

Yes, that’s a great idea! Not only did that line make Luke look like a hypocrite for not even reading his most sacred texts, but it blatantly contradicts the next movie. It needs to go.

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