I really hate to lose Klaud, though 😞

I feel your pain, but he is a necessary loss if we are to implement your wonderful chess idea!

On that note, Hal, since we go from Palpy, to hyperspace, to chess, then to the giant iceburg… Could we perhaps cut out the middle man and have a VFX shot of the falcon exiting hyperspace straight to the iceburg? 🤔

Could be. That shot would need to be the new start of the sequence, immediately after Palpatine, whether hyperspace or no.

And yeah, I don’t wish to remove Klaud but I think it’d be cleaner that way.

Nah, I don’t think that’s really necessary. 😕

I’d like Klaud in the film only if someone makes a believable vfx scene where he’s an X-wing pilot getting shot down and exploding. That’s the only Klaud scream I want to hear.

Very minor, but I think it would be nice if the Sith Troopers had clone voices from the prequels/Clone Wars, not sure if theres a way to explain it but would be such a simple little thing to include.

I like the idea of making the Skywalker Saber unstable like Kylo’s.

I question whether it’d be a good thing anyway. But… while I wouldn’t ask anyone to (and sincerely don’t have a strong preference), I can’t imagine not using it if someone did (and it was good).

I may not care about it, but if someone did enough to execute it effectively, fair enough and I’d use it. I would even do the audio. Maybe adding in some Kylo Ren-ish crackling throughout. Not all the time nonstop but where you’d expect to hear it in movie parlance.

One of those “wish I knew how to do it” things…

Definitely one of those…

If the Falcon chess scene is moved to the end of the movie, it gives something of a tangle with Klaud.

Either the earlier scene begins with “hey Klaud hows that air conditioner coming,” or with the better starting point of Poe in the cockpit directing things. The shot of the Falcon heading toward the iceberg could be extended to serve as the longer, take a breath establishing shot that the hyperspace shot used to provide. Without that initial intro of Klaud or his continued presence in the lightspeed skipping sequence which I will not feature, he’d be too weird to have just in what’s left. I guess he could still appear at the end as a weird rando for Merry to hug, though.

I mentioned in the other thread how the chess scene could possibly be split in two, keeping a bit of the scene at the beginning and paying off the joke at the end. I think there’s actually several ways to do this, for example you could keep Chewie perusing the board and Poe getting impatient, then the proximity indicator and them turning off the board anyway (cut all talk of him cheating). Then at the end have the accusation of cheating and the argument when the Falcon has already landed on Tatooine.

Nice looking crawl, Jar Jar Bricks, was this done in blender?

Has there been a discussion yet on how to preserve Chewie’s reveal that he’s alive be removing scenes or re-ordering them?

Simple, cut the reveal from the original film, delaying the reveal to when Rey senses that he’s alive on the destroyer.

Already tried it, not actually as simple as you’d think… 😕

Look on Dom’s thread, I think he already figured something out.

Yeah, I saw that, and while I think it works, I also don’t know how the scene later on where Kylo Ren and Palpatine had their talk was originally placed can work well without it to help break up some scenes.

Is there a clip? I can’t find anything.

DominicCobb said:

Honestly the change was so straightforward I didn’t think it warranted a clip.

Hmmm… Did it require pure deletion of scenes or have you figured out how to rearrange?

Edit:

Found it!

DominicCobb said:

Yes I’m doing that. You don’t learn Chewie’s alive until the destroyer arrives on Kijimi and Rey senses him.
