Since so many people are contributing some impressive FX shots for edits of tRoS, I was wondering if anyone on this thread knew anyone who could make a shot of Luke’s saber hitting the ground for any TLJ edit that has Luke drop the saber instead of throwing it.

There’s a few edits like that on youtube.

This one is interesting in that it goes the other way and he takes it.

The one where Luke accepts the saber and walks off was surprisingly well made, though it made me wonder how does Rey retrieve it later.

Is there any version where Luke just hands the lightsaber back to Rey, using a reversed version of the close-up where Luke receives it?

Could just cut her retrieving it, since the next time we see it is after he agrees to train her?

Yep. Go to youtube and search something like “luke hands saber back to rey,” “last jedi luke returns saber” etc.

This is a very common edit, I see 10 just on the first page.

What I would do for a LOTR style Extended edition of the Sequels.

I know, right? You’d think that after one three-hour movie (Return of the King) tops the box office and wins best picture in the same year, and another one (Avengers: Endgame) becomes the highest-grossing film of all time, studios would become more comfortable with it.

It’s more that there are less showings available. That extra run time gets rid of a bunch of sold out theatre screenings… hypothetically.

Hey, I’d take EE for the whole Saga, honestly.

Or more likely, it’d just add a lot more…stuff. Stuff that was probably deleted for good reason…but you know, it’s a fun novelty nonetheless.

Someone on Reddit suggested replacing the contact on Canto Bight with Lando. I think that would make sense. That said, people might find it frustrating to be robbed of him appearing properly in the film.

Now that I think of it, it makes no sense whatsoever. Never mind!

Just had a good one, what if Rey’s parents were killed by an accident related to the war?

Similar to Jyn Erso’s dad being killed in the crossfire…what if they were not murdered, but simply because they were unlucky enough to be hit in a rebel strike happened as they were leaving?

If there was any footage of the actors, a few tweaks of dialogue make it work. If this were a re-DIRECTING forum, I’d say have a scene where the alcoholic father HAD to take a drink along with him because he couldn’t cope with the stress of what he was about to do.

This edit would add at least the tinist bit of conflict for Rey towards the rebellion and at least give the smallest reason to consider Kylo’s “leave it all behind” message that was mostly ignored anyways.

The problem I see is that Rey doesn’t seem to ever distrust the Resistance in the movies.

Yeah, when you think about it, Jyn had a more consistent storyarc in one movie than Rey in 3 movies.
