I guess it’s about time for another “where are we” post. By my records, here’s everything currently outstanding. Things that, if they were suddenly all turned in, I would begin encoding:
Sherlockpotter’s idea to remove Lando line “Leia sent me a transmission” (I just haven’t done it yet)
Depict Kylo’s TIE with a different color stripe after his first one gets blowed up (poppasketti working on it)
Have Rey’s saber sputter or crap out a little at end of DSII duel (Movies Remastered working on)
Have both sabers spark and smoke like it’s Friday night after Palpatine gets blowed up (Movies Remastered working on, or perhaps is finished)
Pasaana puppet show with Luke being a legend (snooker and/or RogueLeader filming and compositing elements - will also need a vocal dub to replace the one or two lines with something about Skywalker)
Remaining footage of the crackly blue saber (I believe Movies Remastered is helming the shots that weren’t already done by kewlfish or Luka Frik)
Fixed Jedi haircut footage from jonh to then be run through by NeverAr for regrading
So clearly there’s still several things outstanding but they are being tracked and will all come together in time. For the thousandth time, you’re all awesome and it’s an ongoing privilege to steer us along.
That’s a good reminder of the “main” things to get done. Of course some good discussion for other ideas is good, like this Lando line. Since it has been decided, I am fine with how it is. The only kinda … strange thing … the movie does is the exchange between him and Rey about the “give Leia my love” line. It’s kinda strange since it kinda … was … implying they don’t talk … but didn’t he literally “got off the phone” with Leia about finding the crew? I am not sure what the point of that exchange was nor the reason for it.
But regardless, I don’t care much about his “I got a call about you guys” … but the one that sticks out is Rey’s kinda strange “Tell that to her yourself” … kinda implying they don’t talk but we know they just did? Kinda seemed unnecessary.
