Star Wars: The Last Skywalker Awakens - A sequel trilogy "mega-edit" (RELEASED) — Page 6

Something I am playing around with: removing the Jedi voices entirely.

Instead of a chorus of random dead people Rey’s never met, she draws upon her connections to the people she loves and bridges the gap between the cosmic and the living force, or however you’d like to interpret the scene now that there’s a bit more room for imagination.

This is great, I love the shots you chose, it all fits really good. A big improvement upon the original, at least in my book.

Yeah, cool! As I’m trying something similar (and am new to this editing-stuff): how did you get the original scene so clearly? The voices kind of bleeding through all channels, so I still hear them when I’m just muting the center-channel

I completely re did the audio from scratch lol. The music is from the FYC score, then the bits where she grunts as she gets limbs on the ground were clear enough so I nabbed them and mixed them along with some breathing SFX i recorded with my partner and then applied reverb to them. A bit of work but it’s getting there, pretty happy with the results.

With some help from a few people over at fanedit.org (including Spence and DigModiFicaTion from here, thanks to you both) this edit is nearing its truest final form.

There haven’t been any major changes since its initial release, but the format is now in two distinct parts with a short title sequence introducing Part II. Several other small cuts and additions have been made throughout.

For now, here is a final teaser trailer for the project as it nears completion (I still haven’t given up on subtitles!)

Any alterations to the extensive changelist?

Any alterations to the extensive changelist?

Indeed:

• Cut some extraneous shots of various aliens around Maz’s cantina

• Removed C-3PO’s awkward introduction that breaks up Han and Leia’s reunion

• Trimmed and crossfaded a couple of shots as Rey leaves the Resistance base for Ach-To to make it feel less like the end of a film and more like the start of the next chapter of this story.

• Trimmed back a couple more jokes during TLJ (Poe’s “your momma”, Luke’s Jakku quip)

• Cut the “crowing” sound the Supremacy makes as it comes out of hyperspace (always felt at odds with how ships are depicted sonically in SW)

• Re-edited the sequence of shots as Rey destroys the shuttle on Pasaana

• Replaced Luke’s awkward “I was wrong” with a long withering stare
