Gotcha, yeah. It’s that i5 that’s your bottleneck. Do you have Premiere/Media Encoder set to use Metal acceleration?that may help too. I’d also recommend exporting out of Media Encoder, that way you can quit out of Premiere and use less resources for that Application and just have Media Encoder running.
Adobe Media Encoder won’t even open for me now. definitely something weird going on 😦

Yikes, well… it’s time to back everything up before troubleshooting more.
Yeah, After losing everything 2 months ago I now run 2 backup drives. I’ll leave it for now and just do a 24 hour render once the final cut is finished. Appreciate the help.

Sure thing, wish I could be more helpful
Thanks, man.
Back to TROS. Does anyone have any Element 3D skills in this thread?
Two of my VFX guys have Covid so I wanna lighten the load a bit but I can’t finish my new Mustafar scene. I’ve content filled the establishing planet shot but I’m looking to add 3 Tie fighters to a 3-second clip.

I haven’t looked through all 3,000+ replies to this topic, so forgive me if someone has already pitched this.
Is there a feasible way to remove both Snoke and Palpatine from the entire sequel trilogy, and have Kylo Ren as the sole main villain?
Getting rid of Snoke in The Force Awakens is no problem, he only has a few scenes.
The Last Jedi would be a bit more of a problem. The Snoke’s Throne Room scene would have to go, or at least be heavily altered.
Snoke isn’t a problem in Rise of Skywalker, but the Emperor poses some major issues. The Force battle finale on the ground on Exegol would have to go. Maybe the space battle could be salvaged, but Rey v Grandpa Sheev would definitely get cut. Maybe the Rey/Kylo lightsaber fight on the Death Star wreckage could serve as the final battle?
Anyone has any suggestions on how to make this crazy idea work, hit me back!

I think this could work reasonably well as a 2-in-1 edit of TFA and TLJ. I’m not so sure there are any parts of TROS that are worth salvaging (or even useable for a project like this).
Other than that just edit out any scene involving Snoke and any reference to him. Make Kylo turn to the dark side simply because of his ambition and his Vader fanboyism. Luckily both of the sequel trilogy’s big baddies feel pretty tacked-on and don’t really connect to any of the backstory until Rey becomes a Palpatine, so this idea could be feasible and could even make for a stronger story.

I mean, the the Throne Room sequence in TLJ is pretty much the backbone of both characters’ arcs. I think it would be easier to modify TRoS to be rid of Palpatine and have Kylo as the final baddie, but keep Snoke.
You would have to create a new mcguffin, that draws Kylo and Rey together on Kef Bir though.
Did anyone manage the edit out that awful guard swinging over Rey’s head in the opening fight scene of TLJ?
I’m gonna revisit it and maybe do a cut away but it’s such a bad take I’m surprised it made it in the movie.

I actually had an idea kind of similar to this, though I don’t remember posting it. Basically, remove the cave scene and its aftermath from TLJ. Instead, reinstate the “caretaker village” deleted scene and have Rey leave the planet right after it - this way it seems like she’s going to go help the resistance herself instead of confronting Kylo. Then she doesn’t reappear until the battle of Crait.

Doesn’t this kind of… destroy her arc, Luke’s arc, and Kylo’s arc? None of them learn or grow without the cave, the throne room, and then the tree (for Luke). Luke’s reappearance at the Battle of Crait is then unearned and his motivations before, when he was hard on Rey or “grumpy” no longer make sense or have closure. Kylo no longer tries to take agency and “offers his hand” to Rey to rule together (echoing Vader’s offer to Luke in TESB). And Rey doesn’t actually learn by failure— which is the entire theme of the film.
I feel like you’d have to manufacture a lot more to make any of it make sense without the core emotional beats for three primary characters.

I’d have TLJ play out pretty much the way it does (besides heavily reducing the Resistance “B” plot). Then I guess you could end on the final scene from TROS with some alterations. Rey buries Anakin’s broken lightsaber at the Lars homestead and comes to terms with being “Rey Nobody”, having realised that’s what the cave on Ach-To has been telling her. But the original TLJ ending probably works better than that.

I more meant to give Rey closure, and to end the threat. In TLJ, we’re left with Kylo being the big bad, and with him not being defeated. The heroes merely escape him. He’s too significant a character to disappear throughout the third act.
If you used the Kef Bir dual, you could even have Rey kill Kylo, making it more of an ending to their stories. Rey leaving could then lead into her arrival on Ajan Kloss (you’d have to cut her entering the TIE). She could still apologise to Kylo, but instead of healing him he’d watch her leave, confused how he beat her.

I created a TRoS edit without Palpatine that used the DSII fight as the final battle and the simple threat of the largest fleet the galaxy’s ever seen as the main threat. I sent you the link. As others have mentioned, the throne room in TLJ is going to be the hardest part. It could probably be edited down to 2 more-or-less reasonable films depending on what you are willing to sacrifice.
Movies Remastered said:
There’s a lot to catch up on but changing Rey using a mind trick on the stormtrooper to escape and eliminating most of the fight with Kylo, leaving it to just one force/lucky/rage blow and having the ground open up straight away taking away her standing over a “defeated” Kylo removes any “mary sue” feel she has, imo.
Exactly. To have a villain have gravitas and be a threat in this sort of straightforward good vs bad story, he can’t be defeated in the opening act like that. If anything, edits should somehow make Kylo win that first fight.
Imagine if ep 4 had ended with Luke completely beating up Vader. The scary imposing monster is now weakly crippled on the ground, breathing heavily, sparking armor: totally defeated. Take the ROTJ ending and put it into ep. 4.
There wouldn’t have been an Empire Strikes Back. Or, rather, there wouldn’t have been a Darth Vader cultural icon as the image of the unstoppable, overwhelming, intimidating villain that carried the franchise. The image of him being defeated would be the final imagery that the audience remembered when they finished watching, and the hero’s journey is over. The bad guy has been beaten. He’s not interesting anymore.
Rey’s journey was crippled by having her win too early. There was no threat of Kylo beyond that point. If TFA was the ONLY movie and had zero movies before it or after, it could’ve worked as a self-contained hero’s journey. But as the opening act? That was a terrible writing decision that had ripple effects in the other movies; it should be noted she doesn’t lose the other 2 climactic fights with Kylo, either. TLJ: Kylo knocked out and she leaves. ROS: she stabs him and leaves.
I like Rey as a character fine, but I totally understand why her protagonist status did not resonate with audiences.
I’m my cut Finn gets owned after 3 blows and Rey’s one strike that gives Kylo the scar leaves it down to either the force or just adrenaline that catches Kylo off guard. Having it like that makes the audience question the moment rather than just seeing a payoff with her pacing over him.
She doesn’t really show that many abilities other than being a good pilot and helping fix things.
I kinda wish they pushed that part of her character more. She’s always finding solutions and fixing stuff before having force skills. I think that would’ve made her earn the respect more at the start rather than just being good at everything.

cough Rey is impressive with a blaster and lands three accurate hits against stormtroopers, minutes after a scene that implies she’s never even held one before… cough
(Now, you could argue she misses her very first shot, but that’s just it, immediately after that she lands three accurate hits, which is impressive for someone who’s implied to have never held a blaster before; I know you’ll also argue Kylo blocks her shots with his lightsaber during their initial encounter, but she’s still impressive in terms of aiming a blaster despite, again, the implication she’s never held one before)
cough Maybe she uses the The Force when she fires the blaster seeing how emotional she is… cough
Vader is defeated in A New Hope. We don’t have to imagine it— we saw it. His ship is shot down and spins out of control, then his battle station is destroyed and his boss is killed. The villains lost in A New Hope much more than the villains of The Force Awakens.
cough Maybe she uses the The Force when she fires the blaster seeing how emotional she is… cough
Cool headcanon. Never properly supported in the movie.
I feel like they mention the Force awakening in her a shit ton, it’s even the title of the film…
And Rogue One also supports the idea that The Force affects who is shot or not shot… and when people feel they tend to use the Force, even without training (such as Luke in the Wampa’s cave).
She doesn’t really show that many abilities other than being a good pilot and helping fix things.

I’ve shot many weapons for the first time and been pretty accurate after calibration. You don’t need the force to do that, not unless I’m now a Jedi without knowing It?
I’m not sure what you mean by your Kylo point. He’s trained. Of course he’s gonna block her shots. He could even freeze them in space if he desired. He’s just playing with her which makes his character even more fun at that point.

Would anyone be able to add Anakin to this amazing work by jonh? Something like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlnRy7g--tU
With Ben to the left of Luke & Leia and Anakin on the right. I asked jonh about it back in September and he said he would add Anakin eventually, but then recently he said in the TROS: Ascendant thread that he didn’t want to do it anymore.
Would anyone else be able to do this? I wish I could but I don’t know how to, and I’d love to see the Skywalker saga end on the entire family together, “adopting” Rey to carry on their name and legacy.
