Is anyone planning inserting Shamooks deepfake Luke(perfect IMO!)in Mandalorian s02ep8? Would be highly appreciated!

This was very well done!
More people should be checking this out.
I know this has probably been decided now, but I think adding that shot someone made of the TIE fighters circling around Vader’s castle to the shot of them flying over the woods would be fantastic to add in.
This is my latest update to those shots for anyone interested.

Hey, this is my latest version of the Mustafar sequence for anyone who might be interested.

At the risk of annoying everybody, I put together another version of my tie sequence including a brand new shot of the ties with the castle in the background.
Please keep in mind that I’m doing this purely for my own enjoyment, not to try to impress anyone or to try to convince Hal9000 to include this in his edit. I’ll be putting this in my own personal edit, but if anyone wants to use it in theirs, that would be cool, too.
As someone in this community once said, “The best edit is always your own.”
Right on!

Yes, it appears that the shot is already reversed and inverted.
If anybody is still interested, I think a good first step in making the castle appear more abandoned is removing the glowing “windows” of lava on the front of the castle.
I actually tried that at one point, but it made the castle look far less menacing.
Also, to my thinking, the lava would continue to flow regardless of the castle being abandoned. I can’t remember all of the other canon/non-canon stories about the castle, but I like to think of the beings that Kylo is fighting as cult members who likely are still inhabiting the castle as a dark shrine of sorts.
Just my thoughts.
Hey, I’m honored that you guys are still talking about my shot with the ties flying by Vaser’s castle!
Just for general info, the shot of the castle is flipped, cropped, color corrected (obviously), and enhanced (because of the cropping). I also added a thin layer of smoke to the foreground so that the ties appear to fly through it.
I’m still toying with adding another shot at the end of the tie sequence with the castle further in the background.
I agree with those who feel that showing Vader’s castle as an establishing shot is vital. When I first saw the film in the theater, I had no idea the planet was supposed to be Mustafar. It looked like it from space, but then the trees threw me completely. Also, it’s important that we know that the wayfinder (I will always call it a holochron) is located on the grounds of the castle.
Anyway, I look forward to maybe seeing the shot in some other edits. It’s already been in my personal edit for quite some time.
This is an edit I just put together to fully integrate Shamook’s Deepfake Luke into the Mandalorian scene.
If you download it, it looks way better.

I can’t wait to check these out.
It’s cool to see other editors following in Smudger9’s footsteps and turning Clone Wars arcs into films.
Sounds like great ideas.
I’d love to check it out.
I’ve been comparing your ESB:R upscale to the original, and all I can say is WOW!
For anyone who wants the grainy old-school feel, this is probably not for you. However, if you’re looking for a clean modern-looking version, this is way better than the 2019 bluray disaster. Plus you get all the cool additions by Adywan.
Definitely worth checking out!
Awesome work!
I’ve never seen these scenes look better.
I’m totally surprised there are not more people checking this out.
I was wondering if you have any updates.
I’m really hoping you continue with this project. The screens shots look amazing!
Hey, this sounds really cool!
I’d love to check it out.
I would definitely like to see this!
When you’re done, please send me a link.
Below, is my reasoning for the placement of the tie pilot shot. I tried things in different orders but it kept coming back to this (which, personally, I really like). Still, I don’t presume to think that there is any single correct sequence. If others end up using any of this, it will be cool to see all the different versions they come up with.
The ties come into formation by the end of the castle shot. The tie pilot stays in the middle of the forest fly-over shot because this is the drop zone. Before the shot, he has not scoped out the forest yet. After the shot, there is no implied space of time before the drop happens. To me, having him state that the drop zone is clear gives us a reason for the ties to be there in the first place, as well as connecting us to seeing the eventual troop drop.
I might give the other shot you mentioned with the ties coming at the camera a try at some point.
Thank you again for the great tip on optical flow!
Man, thank you very much for the tip!
I didn’t know about optical flow. Now, even the ties coming around the castle are smoother!
For those interested, here’s a new link.

I use Final Cut Pro X.
Depending on my available time, I would be open to working together in the future.
This is an alternate take of the ties moving into formation.

If anyone’s interested, here’s an update, including a version with no tie pilot:

For now, this is my final sequence.

This is the same scene with no pilot.

Sorry about that. Here’s an update.

For anyone interested, this is my latest work on the intro to the Battle of Mustafar. This is a major improvement over my last effort to include Vader’s castle. To me, this gives clear context as to where exactly this scene is taking place (on Mustafar, near Vader’s fortress), because in the theatrical version, it is entirely unclear unless you have read the novelization.
The additional music is from the original piece that John Williams composed for the opening scene but was not used. I have already inserted this into my own edit of TROS.

It’s from Battlefront II I believe. I got most of the clips from LILIAN02230, though I think this has been quite a group effort.
