The <strong>Original Trilogy</strong> Radical Redux Ideas Thread
Time

Emulating the glow in post sounds like hell, but I wouldn’t put it past modern VFX. In fact, I recall someone doing just that with Palpatine’s face in the scene where he reveals to Anakin he’s the Sith Lord. The result was negligible imo, but only because they were intentional subtle about it. You could easily dial it up.

Who the heck ARE the Sith in RoS?

Kylo Ren and Snoke act exactly like Sith, though.

I’d argue they’re Sith of a non-Baneite lineage, but I’m sure Canon will contradict me on that.

That’s why I don’t take “I am all the Sith” literally.

I believe this is meant to symbolic.

You can interpret it however you want, but the intended meaning is 100% that Palpatine is possessed by the spirit of what I can only assume is Darth Bane, not that Abrams or Terrio would know that. Point is, the stuff about essence transfer and “make the sarcrifice” clearly lays out the idea that all the Sith up to Palpatine are just the same guy body hopping…or something. It’s definitely not intended metaphorically, as much I’d prefer it to be.

It wasn’t very consistent before though, it’s much more pale in SW compared to ESB. Probably because of the visual effects change. Then the prequels that feature it are different again.

Yeah… I remember seeing the first previews for TLJ and thinking Rian must’ve like the 1977 effect.

Personally the SW/TLJ is my favorite. I thought it was over saturated in TFA.

TFA is over saturated, the whole movie.

I love high saturation! I think TFA looks great because of it.

Me at 18 after first figuring out how to color grade.

Star Wars - The Purple Planet Saga (a WIP)

For now Coruscant as Exegol isn’t happening. I’ve already completely abandoned making the DSII Coruscant since it created way too many issues, and since there’s already a smoother alternative in the form of making it the same Death Star from ANH. Exegol being Coruscant only creates one in the question of how a massive fleet stayed hidden on the former Galactic Capital. If that can be solved the only obstacle will be technical, which, like with turning Pasaana Tropical, are big enough to postpone indefinitely, as I, at least for the time being, lack the necessary skills to pull it off.

Unusual <strong>Sequel Trilogy</strong> Radical Redux Ideas Thread

GL is kind of vague about what the Whills are exactly, and it seems his idea regarding them changed over the decades.

I’m gonna be honest, I really wanna fly over to his house solely to ask him what the Whills are. Actually, video chat would probably be more practical, but you get the point. I’m really dying to know, and I bet if you asked the right people at Lucasfilm they could tell you too.

I’m sure he explained it all to them at some point, especially while making the Yoda’s Journey storyline for TCW. In fact, I think there’s reason to believe the so-called Force Priestesses in that story are actually Whills, as Qui-Gon says in deleted scenes from RotS he learned to become a Force ghost from the Whills and in TCW he guides Yoda to the Force Priestesses to learn this ability.

Oh and spontaneous title idea for Episode VIII or IX: Secret of the Whills.
