Wow I am blown away by the new puppet shot, that is truly fantastic work!
I had to go back and watch the original scene in the movie to remember what was replaced there and I saw a way to potentially extend that scene and tie it into the ending even more.
I was thinking something like this:
- Rey stumbles upon the puppet show with Luke facing down the walker
- She’s approached by Nambi Ghima and asked what her family name is
- Rey admits she doesn’t have one and then hears the puppeteer say “Skywalker”
- Cut to puppet Luke facing off with Kylo (as suggested by Sherlock)
- Rey senses his presence and runs off to ForceTime™ with him
So basically hold off the Skywalker name drop until it would be most impactful. But I don’t know how viable this would be to pull off, you’d need some reaction shots of Rey. Her original reaction to sensing Kylo would work perfectly for hearing “Skywalker” but then going from that to her running off would need some kind of padding.
But anyway, all the props to RogueLeader, Faraday and everyone else that worked on the puppet shot!
I love it. Great idea. And it would be a brilliant way of extending the puppet show.
