This channel called “Skywalker Stories” on YouTube is pretty cool.
Here’s the latest video:https://youtu.be/WOS7i42ggU8?si=awXxKzvhkaBCSBoL
Their videos are done using AI. Obviously it’s not 100% flawless but in many cases it has me fooled. I don’t know how they’re going about making these exactly. My assumption is some custom ComfyUI workflow.
I used their Palpatine dissolves the Senate scene as an experiment to bridge Rogue 1 and A New Hope, it works fairly well however the PDTS scene has some weird rocking back and forth, there’s longish shots of Palpy talking and the AI (I am thinking it is the AI) is recycling the footage so it rocks it back and forth. One could argue it’s from the POV of a droid that is broadcasting or filming this as they hover around the Senate chambers. The end result was okayish however it creates a chronology problem in that in ANH about two days later in the Death Star conference room they say that they’ve just received word that the Senate was dissolved. Maybe politics over the scale of galaxies made it take some time to iron out his authoritarianism? Too many bugs for me to call it a solution to bridge the movies.
Something I did like about this transition is that the combo of the Death Star going live & seeing Palpy dissolve the Senate really gives a sense of urgency to the events of ANH.
