Do you have any special plans for Hans death scene. It’s essential and doesn’t pack the emotional punch I hoped for so I’m very curious what edits or possible added music could improve the overall scene.

I think the scene is just about perfect as is. But… there is a pretty amazing alternate unused music track recorded for it (found in the Secrets doc): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxQSwI5aPja9NXlLWWQxRVQ0WGs/view

Don’t know how useable though.

That is some good music. I do not know where to start on replacing the music though without the other coming through dialog.

That’s pretty much exactly what I’m doing minus the “You’re so right”

Now we need to see the scene with Kylo and Snoke talking about Han having BB-8 and the Awakening in The Force. If it’s in there.

Yah. I mean, it wasn’t a huge screw up but I definitely thought that it had the potential to be in my top three most emotional scenes in the whole saga but it seems it didn’t crack my top 3:

  1. Immolation scene
  2. Luke and Vader Duel (From when Luke starts raging until the end of the fight)
  3. Order 66

And these three scenes are accompanied by amazing music IMO and Hans death scene had mediocre music at best IMO

I added in the “You’re so right” last minuet. I have a draft of kylo and Snoke. I thought about removing all snoke scenes but it could leave a plot hole.

So far the edit is 2:14 minuets and 24 seconds including credits. The full film is 2 hours and 18 minuets

Other than the weird change in the audio it kind of works. The conversation after the whole Star Killer thing is vague though.

Yeah I am having trouble with it, this is just the draft until I can come up with something better.

Any other ideas for cuts I should consider?

Ah, I may cut the first snoke scene. I wanted to try and save the reveal of kylo being hans son for the very end. I may add some extra music in.

I’m still not sure preserving a “twist” that we all knew was coming before the film came out is worth it imo.

What “forced comedy elements” do you plan on removing? Because I thought that most of the jokes worked.

Indeed. I do think at just a couple times it went overboard but when people say they will remove things like the game board and the training ball I just think that’s too picky. Like god damn those are simply fun references that don’t damage the movie and make me feel a little spike of energy in my Star Wars soul so I say keep em

Well I plan on keeping those, more like what Finn says “have a boyfriend? Cute boyfriend?” Or maz saying “where’s my boyfriend!” Also I may trim the “Who’s in charge now phasma” a little

I think that I see why the boyfriend line doesn’t sit well with people. When Uncle Owen in Episode 2 introduces Beru as his “girlfriend” I thought it was kind of out of place, but I feel it establishes the young nature of Finn and Rey and it just doesn’t bother me as much. But I definetly would understand you taking it out. But Mazs crush on chewie is awesome to me haha.

Idk, I liked the ‘cute boyfriend’ joke, but the others I can understand. Just please for the love of god leave Chewie talking to the rebel doctor, I thought that bit was hilarious.

I think the “cute boyfriend” thing was going a bit too far but him asking if she had a boyfriend in general was funny. As was the Chewie doctor bit.

I added in the “You’re so right” last minute. I have a draft of kylo and Snoke. I thought about removing all snoke scenes but it could leave a plot hole.

I don’t remember Snoke being useful in the plot. The character is awful. At least you should cut the line about Kylo who should finish his training, otherwise why would he have appointed him second in command of the fleet ? So if Snoke is stupid, the threat he represents does not work. I would hence advise to remove him entirely (leave the dialogues when he’s mentionned, à la Emperor in ANH).

By the way,“You’re so right” is not really an issue. Are you going to remove Poe’s joking during his arrest ?

The chewie doctor line is staying in.

Maybe because there are no other Jedi with the exception of Skywalker so all Kylo would be doing is fighting non Force Sensitives should combat ever ensue. And his scene where he stuns Rey on Takodana shows he’s more than competent at deflecting blaster bolts.

Are you going to remove Poe’s joking during his arrest ?

I hope he doesn’t. Perfectly sets the tone for the film.
