- Prolonged Obi-Wan looking for the entrance with 1.5 seconds
-> Reshaped some of the new soundmix
-> Added a sewer pipe that Obi-Wan swims out of
-> Added bubbles as if he just jumped down into the pipe of which he then proceeds out of
-> Removed Haja’s “Call you in a bit” to see if it flows better - I have no preferance.
@jrs81 Just read your post before render, so I removed that just for you. I felt different about it - like it “sealed the deal” of him and Haja speaking, but perhaps more people agree with you. Tell me.
And here’s the full end duel as it stands:
-> Re-did some more on the soundmixing (replaced saber clashes that were bleeding with the old music, re-did some ambience)
-> Lowered volume in certain places
-> Re-did and switched about a lot of notes for a more “coherent” soundtrack
Hello, it’s well done but I was wondering if the earlier lightsaber use in the alternate rescue sequence would undermine Obi Wan’s hesitation & character arc for the rest of the edit
I’ve taken this into consideration, and I’ve concluded that it doesn’t. It’s subjective of course, but here are my reasonings:
- Obi-Wan doesn’t (powerfully) use the force during the escape (he does not prevent the glass from breaking with it).
- He does use one force power, making a sound by moving an object - but his facial expressions tells us that it was hard to do and he was unsure whether it would work.
- He does use his lightsaber against stomtroopers, deflecting some bolts, and he does look rusty - even though he becomes more confident as he keeps on fighting. He does however not use his saber again until his first meeting with Vader.
So none of this should interfere with the first time he uses his full powers (saving Leia with force grab) and then later on.
Good question. Hope you liked the answer.
