Since you reminded me, I went ahead and replaced the DOTF snippet with the actual OST in higher quality. I put it in place where it was, and extended it backward to the beginning of the track.
What do you guys think? Too heavy?

on its own it’s very well done; however, i feel like the sequels already rely too much on nostalgia and this feels like adding more. also, i feel like jw did an excellent scoring job giving each trilogy it’s own distinct flavour while still making them distinctly star wars and don’t like the idea of crisscrossing them.

I’d say to lower the volume a bit form 1:01 to 1:08, when Finn & Jannah speak.

The music sounds really nice. Very nice indeed Hal, I personally think it fits well.

It’s not the Dual of the Fates copied and paced from TPM, it’s different but familiar. Very nice.

Can you add a credit for Harrison Ford? Because he is uncredited.

James Earl Jones also went uncredited for Revenge of the Sith.

Most people don’t even watch the credits. Seems like a whole lot of effort to add that for such a minimal effect.

(would be interesting to see in Rekindled)

Amazing how well that all lines up! RL, is there an edit point in the music? Either it does time out nicely. I don’t think I’d use it for Rekindled, because I prefer some moments to just be generally quieter.

Having said that, I do think the music tweaks just made during the duel in Ascendant works quite well! I agree that I think it swells a bit too loud at around 1:01, and maybe the actual DotF theme could come down a little, but great work.

I don’t think that’s much of a problem, since the sequels go out of their way to reference the original trilogy but the prequels went hardly referenced at all. This helps TROS feel more like a conclusion for the entire saga rather than just Rey’s story.

Still can’t wait for V2. This may be your greatest achievement in your career as a fan editor, Hal. Even though you’ve said you couldn’t have done this without us. I still think your Episode III edit is your best of your Star Wars edits, but this will be your best work to fix Episode IX.

poppa! Maybe I missed it, but did you make those Coruscant shots available to download?

So apparently that animation is already finished, too. By Petrovelly (says so in description). But only viewable on their SubscribeStar. Doubt they are willing to share it, either.
IMO just kinda sucks that this fan editing community’s manpower is being divided because the Fixing Disney Star Wars team is using financial contributions.
EDIT: I realize they likely wouldn’t be able to create that Mustafar shot without that money, but it still seems kinda scummy imo.

Yeah, well, whatareyagonnado.

What they’re doing is very grey, legally speaking. Then again, so is fan editing in general. But their methods more so.

Author

Nah, I don’t think so. I haven’t messed with the end credits outside the prequels, and even then because there was some precedent with other fan edits of those movies.

Not an unreasonable suggestion, but I don’t think so.

Yep, the original Vimeo link is downloadable! Just make sure to download the “Original” file which is the prores.

Edit: also, remember that the first exterior shot with the planet is extended 24 frames.

I tried mixing Kylo’s and Rey’s themes into the new Duel of the Fates score. Thoughts?

Fun fact: The original snippets I used came from the track “Kylo Ren Arrives at the Battle” from The Force Awakens - so it’s kind of putting music from their first encounter into their final battle.

We are wrapping things up quite nicely. Other than Luke’s haircut (along with desaturating his Force spirit), adding Coruscant, Anakin’s new blade, more shots of Vader’s castle, is there anything else that has yet to be done before V2 is done?

I think I prefer the way Hal last did it to be honest, makes it sound like 2 songs are overlapping

A couple of other tiny thoughts I had while looking at the Death Star fight. The added shot of Leia holding the medal - would it be possible to add some of that bright white backlight color into the shot? Right now, the colors feel a little off between the Medal insert and the Leia silhouette shot. It’s just a small little thing, but it might help to incorporate the shot better into the scene.

The other thing is, would it make the scene flow better if Leia says “Ben…” before we see her, and then Kylo stops fighting, turns, “sees her” - as if he’s stopping fighting because he hears her voice and senses her presence. The way it is in V1 (and the original cut) is that Ben stops short, Leia appears, then says his name, and then he looks over at her. There’s a split second where the audience is thinking “Wait, why the heck is he stopping?” Rather than “Oh! Was that Leia’s voice?” The scene still makes sense as is, I just wonder if it might flow a little more cleanly. What do you guys think?

That’s exactly what I’ve done but used Han’s voice instead. I didn’t think there was any need for Leia to die at that point and was a fairly weak exit for her.
