I’m echoing the sentiments about how important the Phasma scene is, and how great your cleanup of it looks. Unless I’ve missed it somewhere, what’s left to be done on that scene before it’s ready for inclusion?

The unfinished VFX leaves a lot to be desired. The only thing that doesn’t work is the transition into and out of the scene as there is some footage missing on either side.

Colour work and tracking marker removal is pretty much done though.

Here’s the last cut of the scene that I worked on. This is how it stands at the moment in my Workprint of the film.

Does anybody still have a link to this? It appears Bobson may be busy with the holidays because he isn’t responding.

I like this cut, especially the B-roll footage on Canto Bight, which enhances the impression that Finn and Rose really did search the entire Casino.

The additional scenes with Finn and Poe in the beginning also develop Finns motives and flesh it out nicely.

Luke having a moment is the big winner here

Only scene I don’t like is the Rose-biting-Hux scene. First, it is unfinished, but more importantly it makes Hux even more of a silly moron than he already comes off as.

Luke’s third lesson I can do without, but have no problem it being in there. He just comes off as unnecessarily mean.

Btw. there is a sound problem in the scene just before the Resistance gets discovered by the First Order.

Cheers!

In a longstanding tradition I’ve just started this year I’ve decided to watch each ST films across Christmas Eve, Day, and Boxing Day (due to having seen the other 6 films millions of times since 1999).

I really like TLJ, it’s probably number 2 or 3 in my top 9 saga films list, it feels exactly like a TCW film, lots of humour (who can’t picture animated Anakin doing Poe’s bit with ‘Huggs’ at the beginning of the film), lots of new Force material and insights into how it works, deconstruction of the Jedi Order (not the Light Side, the Order itself), and heroes and villains hovering over the border.
I didn’t want a fanedit that changed much of anything about the film (well I’d have happily have lost some bits like Admiral Arsehole, could you imagine Luke being treated like Poe was after ANH? But also Poe’s mutiny, this is not Andor we don’t need a Resistance civil war) so I turned to the Extended Edition.

I have the workprint version, and the unfinished scenes, funnily enough, really don’t pull you out of the film at all. Sure you can notice them, but considering how many terrible effects (both practical and digital) exist in the endless re-releases of the OT I can cope with a couple of badly rendered backgrounds considering what the scenes add.

This isn’t much of a fanedit in the usual sense beyond the integration and edition, but that is done seamlessly and the additional VFX work on the scenes fit in.
Though, having said that, I don’t know if it’s my version or not, but just after Poe pulls his blaster on Admiral Arsehole the visuals and sound cut out until the laundrette scene.

Hey all,

Anybody still have the link to any of these edits? Reached out to Bobson Dugnutt but didn’t get a reply. Would love to see the expanded edition. Cheers!
