Sorry to just now be responding, Ziggy. I genuinely missed your comment for a while.

I’d like to finish up this edit and some other projects which are stuck in limbo, but my workstation isn’t currently set up for editing or writing. For Christmas I got a big graphics tablet so I’ve moved everything to a dual monitor setup and built a table for all this to focus on getting some form of an art career off the ground…so yeah. Really I just need another monitor to quickly switch back to a normal computer workflow, and eventually that will happen and I can get back to editing and writing.

As to why I haven’t rendered a decent version of the edit, the new Hosnian destruction is still a work in progress and its placement back in the Oscillator sequence means that the Starkiller destruction must be reworked as well. It shouldn’t take that long once I’ve gotten in there since it’s mostly pulling out a lot of the duct tape and spackle that I originally put there to hold that part together, reverting it to its theatrical version.

Other than that, I want to test out that idea for an alternate Poe interrogation since that bit of the edit isn’t finished even in the workprint. The last big thing would be to rework the dream sequence after Rey is captured by Poe. I don’t think it works, and I might just break down and put the completed Jakku vision back in after Rey’s dinner since she’s apparently got the Force in her blood due to the current canon. As long as we get a tease of Luke’s island somewhere in the film before her vision at the end, I’m happy.
