Here’s the current state of affairs:

Things completed:

• Slight tweak so Rey is shown contemplating before asking 3PO to consider going through with a memory wipe

• Depict Kylo’s TIE with a different color stripe after the first one is destroyed on Pasaana (poppasketti)

• Add a subtle sound of Leia vocalizing as she drops her headphones (JarJar Bricks)

• Replace Luke’s line “a thousand generations live in you now,” with “We’ll always be with you” (MoviesRemastered, NeverarGreat, and ThisIsCreation)

• Remove line, “They sold you to protect you.”

• Add two shots of Coruscant to the conference room scene (poppasketti)

• Recolor the quick light sequence on Rey’s lightsaber during the final scene to nod to Luke and Leia’s sabers by having a blue and purple light sequence (Burbin)

• Fold in a few more audio submissions to the civilian fleet (contributions from ThisIsCreation and Richard G)

• Alter Kylo’s line to, “We’ve become a dyad in the Force” (sherlockpotter)

• Adjust placement of the Leia medal insert shot, as well as lighting (sherlockpotter)

• Remove Finn’s line, “He wanted her alive.” Remove Palpatine’s two lines, “I never wanted you dead, I wanted you here,” and, “…for my grandchild to come home.” This makes Palpatine’s machinations a little more intuitive.

• Replace the Imperial shuttle (used in V1 to replace the regular TIE fighter Kylo took to Exegol at the climax) with Vader’s TIE due to popular demand. (I still prefer the shuttle.)

• Remove line, “from the Southern shore” from 3PO’s translation in order for the mystical whisper effect of the blade to be more needed without the compass plot element.

• Slightly restructure the Exegol space battle’s beginning (DominicCobb)

• Remove the single time either of Rey’s parents address her by name (so we can still imagine that she named herself)

Things being considered:

• Redubbing 3PO’s Sith translation to remove the idea the dagger has the specific location inscribed upon it to support the ‘mystical guidance’ angle. Not strictly necessary. (Would also entail: move Finn’s line about Endor in the same scene, add flash of DSII as Rey handles the knife in Kylo’s quarters, remove line about “horrible things” happening with the blade, remove 3PO saying he knows “exactly where the Wayfinder is,” remove Jannah’s mention of Babu Frik sending her a transmission since he shouldn’t know where they are going in this sequence)

• Depict Kijimi as more rebellious by comping in graffiti and/or adding audible ‘resisting’ of the First Order by the populace

• Add Sith eyes to ‘evil Rey’ when she appears in the DSII, or at the very least remove the milky eyes that appear in Rey’s vision (either normal or Sith eyes)

Things waiting on others:

• Pasaana puppet show to depict Luke’s feats at the Battle of Crait (at least RogueLeader working on puppets, poppasketti and MoviesRemastered provided relatively clean backdrops, and ThisIsCreation has done a vocal dub)

• Redo the “that’s not even a language” trooper moment (Axlanian has the reigns)

• Further extend the Mustafar sequence to slow the pacing (currently features work from poppasketti, MoviesRemastered, NeverarGreat, and 21C Peasant; hoping to augment and include footage from the recent ‘Biomes’ short - unassigned)

• Depict the Skywalker lightsaber fizzling out at a critical moment in the DSII duel (waiting on MoviesRemastered; may be finished)

• Depict both sabers as fizzling out or sparking after the climax on Exegol (waiting on MoviesRemastered; may be finished)

• Correct glitches on jonh’s first pass on giving Luke a haircut, then hand this to NeverarGreat in order to reapply his work to depict Ach-To experiencing sunrise)

• Depict the Skywalker saber as ‘cracked,’ with an unstable blade reminiscent of Kylo’s (kewlfish completed some of the shots needed, as have Luka Frik and MoviesRemastered)
