So, we have two excellent ‘Mustafar Minutes’ on our hands.

First, the three shot version: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/529875645

This one fits together cohesively. First shot has a lava flow next to a smokey forest. Then we see Vader’s castle with TIEs approaching camera followed by the forest flyover shot. We have forest being shown in shots 1 and 3, with it being implied in shot 2.

Then, the new two shot version we’ve been working on: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/641962575

It has the advantage of having less going on and helping the pace in that regard. Very nice shot of the castle, though some seem to have an issue with transitioning into the forest flyover.

(One of the reasons for pursuing the Biomes footage in the first place was to avoid reusing footage from Rogue One, as in the three-shot version. However… we didn’t realize until after Nev poured hours of work into it that it essentially is a shot from Rogue One. Doesn’t mean it’s invalid, just that that isn’t a reason to favor it.)

I will show these two versions, with no explanation, to a few people foreign to this fan edit if not to Star Wars fandom in general, to get their opinions untainted by the insider knowledge we all have about the work that has gone into these. (Not that that necessarily will decide how to move forward!)
