I MIGHT END UP DECIDING TO END MY ‘MEGA-CUT’ OF ‘THE LAST JEDI’/‘RISE OF SKYWALKER’ SOMETHING LIKE THIS, SO THAT WE JUST HEAR MUSIC (in a similar way to what I have in mind for my ending of ‘REVENGE OF THE SITH’) -
JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS TO THINK ABOUT - should I add the shot of the Falcon in hyperspace BEFORE the shot near the end of the Falcon going back to Tattooine?? Also, should I add the scene of Chewie playing the hologram chess game with Finn and Poe as well, or not?? - And would either work okay and soundwise??
ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE IDEA = AFTER WE SEE THE MONTAGE WHICH ENDS IN THE STARDESTROYER CRASHING DOWN TO TATTOOINE, MAYBE CUT TO ‘LIGHTSKIPPING’ SHOT OF FALCON IN HYPERSPACE, THEN MAYBE CUT TO CHEWIE, POE, AND FINN PLAYING CHESS SCENE, THEN MAYBE CUT TO RAY EXITING THE FALCON IN CLOSE-UP, THEN MAYBE CONTINUE AS NORMAL FROM THERE RIGHT UP UNTIL OLD WOMAN ASKS ‘WHO ARE YOU’, AND WE SEE RAY REPLYING “REY”, THEN MAYBE CUT TO FALCON FLYING OVER SANDCRAWLER AS JAWAS SAY “OOH TEENIE!”, THEN FADE TO CIRCULAR IRIS.
…then CUT to black to imply some time has passed, as we then see the Falcon in hyperspace -
PUT THIS INFO. IN BLUE BOX - would it result in a sudden cut to silence from the previous shot of the stardestroyer falling? Would I need to FADE to black instead if I do this?
…then CUT to the Falcon in hyperspace -
PUT THIS INFO. IN BLUE BOX - this Falcon in hyperspace shot is one that I didn’t use from earlier in the movie.
…and we continue as normal as Chewie plays holochess with Finn and Poe, as they all get up when an alert goes off, and Poe agrees that he’s cheating and switches off the table -
PUT THIS INFO. IN BLUE BOX - the reason I MIGHT add the above scene is to imply that Chewie, Finn, and Poe all accompanied Rey on her journey to Tattooine, and to add a little bit of levity near the end of my new ‘saga’ conclusion.
…and we continue on as normal, as Rey emerges from the Falcon -
NOTE - put more close-up pics of rey and bb8 leaving falcon here. This was the final shot below -
first wide shot of landed Falcon -
…and then we continue on as normal, as Rey looks over the edge -
…then CUT to this angle of Rey looking at her lightsaber -
PUT THIS INFO. IN A BLUE BOX - CUT the above shot immediately before we HEAR the noise that the old woman’s animal makes offscreen.
PUT THIS INFO. IN A BLUE BOX - I MIGHT decide to include the interior of the Falcon at this point, where Chewie growls as Finn and Poe accuse him of cheating at holo-chess - NOT 100% SURE YET.
…then CUT to my FINAL shot of the ‘saga’ as we see the Falcon flying over a sandcrawler and a group of Jawas say “OOH TEENIE!”
…as we fade out to a circular ‘iris’ and the END CREDITS appear (NOTE - I need to listen to the END CREDITS music of ‘The Last Jedi’ and ‘Rise Of Skywalker’, to see which I prefer to conclude my ‘saga’ on - so I may end up having J.J. ABRAMS here instead, if I prefer the end music of ‘Rise Of Skywalker’) -
PUT THIS INFO. IN A BLUE BOX - I MIGHT be able to briefly CUT to a silent RIAN JOHNSON credit first, THEN fade out to a circular ‘iris’ showing the J.J. ABRAMS credit immediately afterwards as the music kicks in.
*** Just a thought - would adding in an edited version of the broom boy ending work?? - perhaps in-between where stardestroyer is crashing towards Jakku sands…and the usual end scene where Falcon flies past a sandcrawler on Tattooine. ***

ADDITIONAL THOUGHT - AFTER STARDESTROYER FALLS ON JAKKU DESERT, SHOULD I JUST CONTINUE TO FADE TO REBELS LANDING AS NORMAL AS BB-8 AND CONEFACE MEET UP, AND THEN ALSO CONTINUE WITH R2 AND C3P0 WATCHING REY LAND X-WING TO BE GREETED BY BB-8…BEFORE I THEN CUT TO BLACK AND FALCON IN LIGHTSPEED BEFORE WE SEE CHEWIE, POE, AND FINN PLAYING HOLOCHESS?? - MIGHT WORK BETTER FOR PACING TOO??
AN EXTRA RANDOM THOUGHT! - I’ve decided that I ABSOLUTEY DESPISE the notion of the ‘horse’ attack on top of the Stardestroyers!!! - SO IS IT POSSIBLE TO SOMEHOW RE-EDIT THINGS TO HAVE ‘LANDO ARRIVING WITH HIS HUNDREDS OF REBEL SHIPS ARRIVING’ BE THE LAST APPEARANCE OF THE DOGFIGHT, THEN HAVE SOME KIND OF REY AND BEN AGAINST THE EMPEROR SCENES, CULMINATING WITH HIM BEING BLOWN AWAY, THEN WHEN REY EMERGES TO JOIN THE REST OF THE FLEET AFTERWARDS, WE ASSUME THAT THE FIRST ORDER SHIPS WERE BEATEN OFFSCREEN??? - check if this would work sometime. But I’d need to ALSO get rid of all of Finn and the girl’s antics blowing up the ‘main’ Stardestroyer and eventually jumping onto the Falcon etc., as we wouldn’t see how they got onto the Stardestroyer originally!
THIS IS A NICE LITTLE EDIT THAT WORKS WELL - when redoing Rey obliterating the Emperor in the way that I want, when we pan across to the ‘Sith’ statues…miss out the shot of Finn, and instead CUT DIRECTLY to the stardestroyer blowing up as Pryde runs in slow motion - this happens to be a great music match luckily.
