Alright, I wanted to get this out before I called it a night but my computer was acting up so I didn’t have any time to make it pretty, but here’s a very rough idea of what could be done with the music:

That’s pretty cool. Which cue is that? I like the part from 0:13 and after. I think before that the Snoke music could stay as it is. And then maybe the new cue could come in slightly earlier so the brass part begins after “once and for all” but before “prepare the weapon”.

…

By the way, I’m editing the audio for the deleted scene now, it’s going well.

Just watched it and I agree with Ridley. Also, excellent Ridley with your task!

A very good one. Definitely useable.
But for the love of mercy; remove Finn’s horrible reaction when Rey says “he’s with the resistance”. We, as the audience, has gotten the fact that he’s not, clarified three times already. It is a silly reminder, and it kinda dumbs down his character as well as the laughable guilty face.

It’s not really the purpose of the edit to add or remove character moments unrelated to the Starkiller Restructure, but I always read this exchange as Finn almost ready to admit that he wasn’t a part of the Resistance, at least until they were distracted and he changed his mind.

Neverar great job with the jump v2. It’s like it was suppose to be there in the first place! 😉

Yeah I thought that was pretty clear. I don’t know why people keep requesting completely random, subjective removals when it’s been clearly stated a number of times that that is not what this edit is about.

Because with any fanedit, one would think the overall idea - whatever its main purpose is - is to improve upon what was before? Therefore, I think such suggestions of short scale - but with important impact on character in a positive light - should be allowed to be mentioned.

However, this is not my thread and I fully respect if there is no intention on improving character or story moments, except for this one with the Starkiller Base. It is an intruiging concept already, in good hands.

Nothing wrong with suggestions, people voicing them are good since it gives the project leader some thoughts or points that he/she may agree with and implement them.

Anyway, if there is to be more work down the road with this project, such as a V3, an aspect I liked about Digmod’s edit was the removal of Finn in the TIE shooting the troopers on the deck. He JUST decided to leave the order and his comrades. Would a person that quickly attack and kill his fellow troopers that quickly?

Later on after some time, and being chased by the order on Jaku by trooper and TIES, now it would make more sense for him.

My personal thought … well, obviously first done by Digimod!

Great! So since Ridley has pretty much completed his incredible work on the Leia deleted scene, and the opening crawl text has been decided on, does that only leave Ridley’s Maz’s castle scene, and possibly this Snoke scene?

From what I’ve gathered we still need Ridley’s exported crawl and Maz’s castle.
Apart from that the Snoke scene of course, but other than that I can’t think of anything super essential that’s still MIA.

It would be good to have a hard deadline for V2, if only because some people might like to make plans to see this before TLJ 😉

Yes, that’s everything I have on my list that I still need. I’d also like to get this out ahead of TLJ. Ideally, it’d be the final version, but it’d be foolish to say that until seeing what TLJ provides us. (I know my life will be radically different after my wife and I have our first child in February.)

I’d say for the Snoke scene, the only thing we’d need is to have the first shot, made to look like Hux is standing there rather than Ren. (If possible; I don’t know how you pull off graphical wizardry like this.) I will try out DominicCobb’s idea for the music for this scene either tomorrow or Saturday.

Once all the ingredients are present, I will hustle to get it put together and encoded.

If V2 could be ready by the 10th I’d be a very happy camper. 😄 (I’m planning a TFA viewing party that night.)

I think that’s a reasonable deadline if we’re planning on getting something together before TLJ. SirRidley, if you don’t think you can get all of the things finished by then I’m sure we could find a stopgap solution for a December 10th release and put the rest in the next version (if it comes to that).

Thanks! I’ve really enjoyed how much of a collaboration this project has been, working toward a tightly focused idea. I’ve just been the MC.

Yeah, it’s been really fun contributing to this endeavor the past year and a half, and I’ll probably be missing it come February 😉. Congratulations, Hal!
