Hal’s Rogue One edit (a half-assed version of DigMod’s) (Released) — Page 5

Those are good points DigMod about the intro and keeping that part out. I don’t think his intro is needed for this “new” trust narrative when changing the “death orders” till the very end concept.

Also with your rational on more of his character’s merits, makes me think about removing his “intro.”

As for Hal, that’s a shame but ok. Not a major issue. The new direction, if you go with it, doesn’t really affect things too much. Random, yes, but hey, it could be considered a hint of sorts for the audience … maybe?

Quick note: the line en route to Jedha, “We find Saw, we find your father,” is present in some form in all but the LFE channel so I don’t think it’s worth going to lengths to remove.

I don’t see the issue with that line. It’s equal parts Cassian establishing trust with Jynn as well as making sure she doesn’t run off or go rogue on them.

If some are insistent on having it removed, I’m always up for a challenge. I can check the soundtrack and see if I can rebuild the tracks if needed.

I just think it’s placement and delivery feel off. It just feels like exposition that was adr’d in for anyone that was checking his phone during the rebel briefing scene. Doesn’t feel like the scene was shot with that piece of dialogue in mind and so it would flow better without it. And it would also flow better into the following scene, only having Cassian address Saw until here -
“What’s with the Destroyer?”
“It’s because of your old friend, Saw Guerrera.”

It would be nice if that line can be removed, if possible. Hope Digmod could work some magic to remove it.

EDIT: If I find some time, I may try to see how it looks to cut it out and stitch the scene together … I think it’s just ambient sounds and not music, but I gotta check to remember.

Now its pointed out it can’t be unheard, it does seem tacked on and unnatural as he says it walking off…

Oh, I think RogueLeader did this change already in his edit.

Attached is the clip removing the comment about “Find Saw Find Father”

This goes along with the change of the briefing room scene at the beginning. The mission is to find the pilot, not about finding Galen. Which then, later on, Jynn becomes the motivator to go to Eadu to retrieve her father. Jynn is not proactive. With Burbin’s change to keep the “kill order” quite until the very end, in which Chirrutt senses it in the force … man, this really helps out both the story and the characters.

I dig it.

If either DigMod or RogueLeader don’t take credit for it (I used their edits as a base for mine) then maybe I did it and forgot? Haha!

But it really works well. The pieces are falling together! haha!

I did do that, actually! Rogue One was one of my first edits, and I wasn’t editing in 5.1, so it was a pain to try to get the cut in music to flow naturally. I think my first rough cut it was worse, but you can still notice it a little bit (at least I can). So I didn’t patch in music, I just cut the dialogue out and tried to have the cut in the music be less noticeable.

I was going to mention that I did it, but I felt like it was really rough so I didn’t bring it up! It was a funny feeling pulling up that video and thinking, “Did I do this?” Hahaha.

Good, makes sense since I don’t have much skill, lol!

I’ve played the scene on my TV with surround sound and it all sounds right, at least to me!

With me stealing lots of these ideas, perhaps we’ll have to use that title for my edit now… 😃

Lol, can’t unsee that now.

All of this discussion is making me want to jump back on the Rogue One bandwagon!

I’m curious if we’ll revisit Rogue One again after Andor comes out, too.

If anyone gets to it before I do, feel free. I’m sure I can though, whenever I have the right opportunity to spend the time and aren’t up to my ears in business stuff.

Because I’m an adult with business stuff now.
