Oh nice, I didn’t know you were collaborating with other members of these forums. I really liked your Kylo’s scar heal edit, will you be making your shots available for other editors to use in their own edits, like Hal’s TROS Ascendent?

Kylo’s scar heal edit? I must have missed that. Does anyone have a link to it?

Here’s an early pass. It took a few more to get right. https://youtu.be/GyF5ggzFuZg

This is a pretty cool concept and decent execution but I have a few issues with this clip. For one, at this point we’ve already seen Rey force-heal his much more serious saber wound - in turn, I feel like this little scar would’ve already healed during that process. Second, I feel like the scar should close and then fade evenly versus the linear ‘erasing’ effect we see here. The scar itself, however, does look very natural and realistic.

Thanks man, This clip was a fairly older first pass. We did a few more since then which look much better. I did a full breakdown on the delay of the healing in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhGEUdP3Vq0

I’m glad you like the concept. It did work out well in the final cut.

I can give black robes in the final scene a shot, but I’m not entirely sold on the symbolism. Are they black because it’s a funeral of sorts, or to imply she’s integrated Ben Solo somehow, or to imply something about the force alignment of her new generation of Jedi?

I feel like the black robes would make most sense in the part of the movie where she’s worried about turning to the dark side, to draw a closer parallel to her vision of Sith Rey - but then you’d lose the white/black duality between her and Ben on Kef Bir and Exegol, which would be a shame.

Yes I agree it’d work better for the rest of the movie since it’s all about her struggle with the dark side. I think in the final scene it’d show some sort of reconciliation of the darkness within her. Moreover, I just think it’s lame that she wears the same exact thing as before. She’s changed a lot and is now on the next step of her journey. Even just change itself is a bit of symbolism.

Is it possible to properly remove the “all” from both the lines of dialogue in that final exchange between Palpatine and Rey to make the dialogue less clunky, without suddenly skipping a couple of frames or anything?

If that could be done seamlessly, that would be fantastic.

I think it’s possible to do. Give me a bit and I’ll post a link of it. Kinda distracted by USA news… 😳

Replace Rey’s empty eyes with yellow eyes in Rey’s visions!

Would it be possible to show both sabers fizzle and fade as they destroy Palapatine? Just in the final moments of the “All the Jedi” bit, then fade out completely on that final shot where Palpatine and the Sith Throne blow up? It would work great as the final payoff to the added crackly saber and RogueLeader’s idea to make it even more unstable (in the literal sense of dealing with malfunctioning sabers, having them finally “give out”). And it would show that both sabers have broken down and “finished their journey”. Would make the ending scene make much more sense.

What if Rey starts the movie with the dark cloths and then when she goes to Exegol she is wearing white

After being beaten and battered by prequel hate, I promise not to be that to the next generation.

I’ve been trying to work on the dark outfit but it’s extremely difficult the switch white or gray without masking every shot. If anyone knows of a better way, I’d love to learn how?

Try removing Rey from specific shots and putting her in a green screen, before changing her robes to black/grey and then putting her back into the original shots.

Thanks masking every shot, but with an extra step 😜

Yeah, Pretty much!

On another note, The glitchy Saber effects were pretty easy to do but I’m just trying to find a good spot where the blue glow isn’t too dominant in the rain reflections. That’s gonna be the only issue making this effect work. I’m thinking of using a close-up piece of footage from when Rey ignites the Saber before she jumps Kylos ship. I’ve cut that scene in my edit so it’ll be good to use it elsewhere.

I’ve been trying to use EBSynth to change Rey’s costume colour but it’s pretty hit or miss and you wind up essentially having to mask it anyway.

I’m finding the same with After effects. Roto2 tool just doesn’t pick up the colour well. I’m doing something similar with Poe’s shirt and I think I’m gonna have to paint each frame.

Does anyone know what trailer this shot of the Sith Troopers is from originally? I found it in this fan-made trailer, but if it were higher quality it would fit into the movie fairly well.

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

Are you suggesting rotoscoping Rey and her saber out of this shot and replacing the background with the Death Star ruins?

If you could pull the vfx off I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea. It would be sort of the point where, I imagine, the lightsaber really starts to struggle. So having a close-up shot that makes a point of saying “something is wrong with the saber” would be a nice set-up to the issues it will have in the following half of the duel. And honestly, I think any additional shots would benefit the sequence in general.

That’s what I was thinking. I just can’t add too many extra frames as I’ve timed the score perfectly.

Balance of the Force was a 10 min featured for TLJ. There is a shot in there I need but the 1080p crop looks way too pixelated. I’m not sure if it’s on a 4k release anywhere?

Here’s an attempt with taking out both instances of “all”:

It didn’t work as well with Palpatine, so here’s a version with “Am all the Sith” and “Am the Jedi”, which I think works better:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/19fyIDkqbRyYLYFp4gFN88l9JL5D1zkpF/view?usp=sharing

Both have music lined up at the top and tail, the music cut out for a beat at the end in the original version, so I was able to keep it clean and in sync. The music comes back in sync with the original film after her line, right as she strikes with the second saber.

Wait, you’re changing Poe’s clothes? I’m curious about that if you have a sample…

I’m keeping Leia alive until the end so I’m moving Poe and Finn coming back from the mission much later on. He’s wearing a gray shirt but I need to change it to an orange jumpsuit when he’s saying his final words to Leia. I’ve tried many different ways but his shirt colour is far too close to his skin tone plus being colourblind is a complete nightmare.
