Looks and sounds great, MR!

I agree, great work! It really helps that Rey blinks and moves her eyes like she had been distracted.
Yeah, I don’t think I would have noticed if I wasn’t looking for it; and even then, it just looks like she was lost in her thoughts for a moment.
Great work, MR!

MR did a great job, id love to see it matched up with Nev’s regraded footage.
Thanks, it was the first time I’ve had to change the timing within the sequence. It’s not very precise but I’m sure there’s a more visual way of doing it somehow.
Yeah, I’m hoping Nev catches my PM at some point.

I wonder, would playing rey’s footage forward and then backwards, would that make it easier to for the shot to hold on her ?
That almost never works without it being noticable. The good part about this clip is that 3/4 of it Rey is virtually still, it’s just bring up from 53% to 100% without it looking unnatural. Keyframes are weird when it comes to speed. They split rather than an in and out point.

in Nev’s version i think the darker footage would hide any blemishes but with that said, i see no issue with this in slightest.
I may have been looking at this for far too many hours but I’m not happy with the timing change on Rey’s close-up. I’ve had to slow parts down to almost 50% just to get the sequence timing right.
I’m open to scrutiny on this one…?

Yup that works for sure.
I have changed this whole sequence so I’m not sure how close this clip is to the original anymore. I’m sure others can just trim the parts out that suit.

Out of all the tries to make the line fit, you made it fit perfectly and also improved on it by removing the line about the lightsaber.
The line “A thousand generations…” and “you’ll take two Sabers…” always bugged me. I wanted to find a way of removing them both but this worked out so well it actually compliments the 1000 generation line and sets up the force ghosts for later. Whoop WHoop!

Thinking out loud here about other potential “minor” tweaks. What if we remove the scene where Random First Order Officer says “We’ve analyzed the necklace! It’s made by the Pig People of Pasaana!”
It would allow the Lando scene to continue seamlessly, which would probably help with the pacing if we’re not jumping across the galaxy every minute or so. More importantly, I think it would significantly raise the tension. It would seem, as Rey implies (“We have to go, now! It’s Ren!”), that Kylo is hot on their tails. He’s talking to her because he’s already so close to their location. When he takes the necklace, the implication would be, “You can’t hide from me…I’m going to find you. [Look how close I already am, bwa ha ha!]”
And then, when Rey is freaking out, we don’t get any relief that “Oh, the First Order is just now discovering that they’re on Pasaana? Okay, I guess they’ve got some time.”
Functionally, they run into a stormtrooper immediately afterwards, so their location would be reported a few seconds later anyway.
Oh! Oh! We could even cut Poe’s ADR line that “The First Order always patrols parties like these - you know, the parties that occur every 42 years on underdeveloped desert planets? They love those.” (We can keep his line about “Keep your head down, Chewie.”) Because then, there’s absolutely no indication that the First Order will find them there. Then, all of a sudden, Kylo reveals himself, stormtroopers pop up - It’s a trap! Kylo was toying with her! The First Order already knows their location!! Hurry! Get the intel from Lando and get out of there!
Sure, it’s a little convenient that Kylo would already know where they are. But is it any more convenient than “instantaneous necklace-tracking and teleporting across the galaxy to their location”? Maybe they tracked Lando, or Kylo sensed Rey? Or he sensed The Dagger™? He magically knows that Rey is on Endor later on anyway, so does it truly matter this time?

I’m losing track of threads but were there talks on here about the early duel between Rey and Kylo on the ship? I was just wondering if anyone fancied tackling the continuity error of the Sith Dagger disappearing for the last shot?
I’ve made a clean .psd high res image if anyone wants to turn it into a 3d image and animate in After Effects?

Pretty sure we already tweaked this scene a ton of pages back. I believe we pushed it forward to later. Not sure exactly where but I believe it is somewhere by Lando’s scene.
Yes, we did adjust the sequence to make it less abrupt and immediate. I don’t think removing that cutaway altogether would help anything and could muddle things just a little.
Also, things like the dagger disappearing for a shot or two don’t really bother me much; it’s just part of moviemaking. However, if anyone does wish to comp in the missing dagger then by all means. I would include the fix, though I don’t ask anyone for it.
MR did a great job fixing the lightsaber continuity error. Not sure if youd like to include that, but I think it definitely worth checking out.
I believe it was through removing Rey handing the saber over and getting it back, as opposed to visual FX? I don’t want to alter that dynamic for the sake of a visual continuity error.
Totally I understand. His cut of not worked really well to fix it but I understand wanting the structure to remain the same.
Thought I’d bring it up here incase anyone wants to give it a shot and fix it with vfx
Yeah, no problem!

Who ever said it would have to involve VFX? I just removed the portion of the shot where the lightsaber is visible.
Honestly, I would prefer to remove the shot completely. So Rey slips away from the crowd and we don’t see her until she comes back with the book. Unfortunately I was having trouble with the audio because Poe’s line plays mostly off screen.
Also it’s strange how we hear Merry quietly say in the background of that shot, “There were always whispers of his hunger to cheat death.” Like, what? Why would the galaxy at large ever have reason to believe that? Most of them didn’t even know he was a Sith in the OT.

Seriously? Lol oh man this movie. Sigh.
“Because you are a PalpaWalker?”
It’s just one shot that can be cropped? Yeah, that might be fine, then.

Correct, the lightsaber does not appear in her conversation with Leia right after.
I find it funny how Merry of the Resistance was delegated as the “try to explain Palpatine’s return in as many different ways as possible” character. It’s hilarious.

He’s basically the audience trying to “rationalize” how Palpatine came back via a verbal bullet point of possibilities.
So in some ways, he breaks the forth wall maybe? Lol.
