(I’m pretty sure the general idea originally was suggested by someone else. I can’t remember who, but I don’t think I’m clever enough to have thought of this on my own.)
Lol, I love the proof of concept. Can we just put this into an edit?
I’m pretty sure I was the person, or one of the people, who suggested that idea. I would probably have one shot of Kylo and Luke just having a stand off, and then in the second shot Kylo takes a swing at Luke, who ducks below the stage, and immediately pops up behind him, making the children laugh. This would be fairly easy to do, if I had a Kylo puppet. It’d be much easier to time this than the timing of that damn fireball! But I think people at the time had some good arguments for why it should be the AT-AT vs Luke rather than Kylo vs Luke. If there was enough demand for it, and Faraday had time to design a Kylo puppet, I wouldn’t mind putting something together.
That sounds fantastic! Way better than anything I could cobble together in 30 minutes of keyframing lol. The other really nice thing about doing a closeup of Kylo and Luke is that, it would probably be easy to made a puppet that looks like Kylo with his mask on, rather than “a guy with a blue stick” who looks like Luke. And I don’t mean that as an insult to Faraday - I think the Luke puppet looks perfect for the style of something these aliens would have made. But if “they” were trying to replicate a mask, rather than a human face, it would be easier for “them” to draw, you know?
So then, maybe ThisIsCreation could expand on the original voiceover a bit? Say, “jiajkvlw LUKE SKYWALKER hwaiofppp KYLO REN grhjailg.” Between seeing a Kylo Ren mask, and hearing the names, I feel like that should alleviate any confusion about what the puppet show is representing.
