Meeting Point
https://vimeo.com/724185281
Removed extremely negative Obi-Wan, just seemed out of character. Also they now believe that Freck COULD be their contact. As originally written. “Blast! No one showed up, Woe is us. But good thing this random transport that showed up out of nowhere is here to take us town!” Just bad writing.
Stormtroopers on Truck
https://vimeo.com/724185326
Removed any reference to them looking for Jedi. They are grunts in a mining colony just trying to get home after a hard day in the mines. They wouldn’t know, or care, about Jedi. Also removed Obi-Wan’s slip up by calling Leia by her real name.
Obi-Wan and Reeva chat through the Door
https://vimeo.com/727789324
Rearranged this sequence to allow Reeva’s anger for Obi-Wan to be revealed BEFORE Obi-Wan offers to help. She blames both Vader AND Obi-Wan almost equally for what happened in the Jedi Temple and the only reason she hasn’t previously attempted to take out Vader, is she also wanted Kenobi dead, and she needed Vader/Obi-wan to fight to give her a chance. Only way to explain why Reeva waited 10 years to make her move. Also removed “tell them we wish to talk/negotiate” as this seemed silly to me when they have a door between them and nobody actually does this.
Here are some additional, smaller, edits: (more to come)
Lightsaber Dig
https://vimeo.com/724185259
This one may be considered a Nitpick. I just didn’t like that there were no landmarks or indicators as to where to find his light saber. Also the Sand Dunes would have changed 100x times with the wind and the lightsabers could be buried under 30 feet or more of Sand. I shortened the scene so I no longer think about these things.
Tala Blaster Holster
https://vimeo.com/727782579
I removed the later scene where Bail conveniently and stupidly reveals names and plans over the intercom and unfortunately this also meant losing the character development with Tala. I used the Blaster Holster scene in the Path hideout during character introductions.
