Here’s a clip showing all the necessary changes to pull this off.

For the clip with Finn and the TIEs, I used the most recent in-progress FX shots from Jackpumpkinhead, so these aren’t nailed down yet. For the audio, I couldn’t find a selection of music that fit in better than what was already there, since it would need to fade back into the music that ends the scene and begins the next. I just brought the sound down so you could hear the TIEs, and not feel like the music was too dramatic for what was onscreen.

Please, register feedback so we can improve what’s here.

Just watched all the edits (and your newer video), so here’s my feedback:

The music in the TIE scene is fine, but I think the TIEs themselves are too loud and the crowd is not loud enough.

In the scene where Hux reports that the weapon is ready and is instructed to prepare it, it sounds like their target is the Resistance since they only refer to their target as “them” and not as “the Republic”. Not sure how this can be improved but I think it should be made clearer than it is at the moment.

If I may ask: What was changed in the briefing scene and the next one?

And in the latest video the music cut after “Give it everything you got” is quite noticeable.

Everything else seems fine but there is another scene that needs work I think: The SKB explosion and Resistance fleet leaving scene. The music and pilot reactions are too happy for the restructured plot. The latter can be cut but I fear this scene needs new music which might be quite hard to pull off.
