Our Queen
Will she sign the treaty?
It should say queen, but close enough.
I agree 100% that the scripts have nothing to do with each other.
You really need to learn to not let this get to you. There are always idiots in the comment section.
Also, Hitler profile pic is almost certainly a joke.
I’m surprised you weren’t going to make this suggestion, since you’re more enthusiastic about recoloring different planets.
Because I haven’t yet seen Season 2 of The Mandalorian.
Why ruin a strong, emotional character moment with a hint to a dumb mcguffin chase three films down the road?
Well it is kinda strange how he tells Luke to go immediately after taking the helmet off.
It almost seems like JJ was told NOT to use anything from the Colin script.
Except him and Terrio clearly used enough of it that the screenwriter’s guild felt it necessary to credit Trevorrow and Connolly.
This may be a dumb meme, but it may actually have a point, and a sequel hook!
What if in Vader’s dying moments, he tells Luke to find Exegol. Here’s how I envision the conversation:
Vader: Just for once, let me look at you with my own eyes.
Luke removes the mask.
Vader: There isn’t much time. cough The contingency. Find Exegol. Go, my son. Leave me.
Luke: No, you’re coming with me.
Maybe not exactly that, but something along those lines. Admittedly, I’m sidestepping the question of why Vader doesn’t mention the wayfinders, but that can’t be too big of a plothole, right? Obviously, this would mean redubbing unmasked Vader, but given he’s only one scene, just redubbing the whole thing seems reasonable at this point.
Anyway, this scene as a whole gives us a Sequel hook, and presumed reason for Luke’s disappearance in the next film: he’s looking for Exegol.
On a related note, anybody notice how Luke is crying in the mid shots but his face is dry in the close ups?
Imagine releasing SEs of all the James Bond films where Bond has the same face throughout. Not Sean Connery’s, not Roger Moores’, a specially created one.
To me the logical endpoint is to have hand-crafted faces for characters. Instead of just having an actor use their own face, they have a face created by the art department superimposed on them through this process. For example, instead of Harry Potter looking like Daniel Radcliffe, his face would be something carefully designed by a committee referencing the books’ illustrations and drawing up concept art before coming up with the finished product. That way you don’t have to question the ethics of resurrecting dead actors, and if an actor just can’t be bothered with another sequel, they can easily be replaced.
Then he defeats R2 only to reveal Dooku’s severed head inside, still alive.
You know what the KoR dialog feels like? A pointless SE change. You know, like Vader’s or Luke’s lines being changed in ESB.
I’ve only heard four acceptable impersonators. One, Ian Abercrombie, has sadly since passed away. The others, Sam Witwer, Tim Curry, and Nick Jameson, are all out of the budget I imagine 😅
Personally Witwer’s Palpatine never sounded quite right to me.
My god, you are just incapable of being constructive or tactful with your criticisms, aren’t you?
I’m just incredibly oblivious. I lack self-awareness and since it’s been pointed out recently I have become more conscious of it and tried to improve but it can be difficult. Like here what I said didn’t sound particularly negative to me, but I guess it did to others. Sorry about that.
Also lol at Malàstrana 2. When’s the hammer suit returning?
As I finish working on an update to my ANH project, the only thing outstanding about my SW edits is the Rey Nobody version of TROS. That aside, being an alternate cut anyway, things have never felt this complete. Like it’s time to let it be.
It’s been a great experience the past 8 years or so putting these together. It’s been a hobby and communal thing. There’ll be some sadness, but I know it can’t go on forever.
I will stick around in any event, and I won’t say “never,” even if I set things down intending to do so for good with SW fan editing. I know there’s work to be done yet, but at the same time, it feels like I’d better plan to “retire” once it is.If the right idea grabs me, I would be happy to tinker with other things, but the SW saga can soon be laid to rest comfortably. And that feels good to this looooongtime OT.com weirdo.
You’re not leaving the site are you?
Screw red. If I wanna Pasaana to be distinct, I’m gonna make it distinct. I’m talking teal green sand or something.
Did we ever see the bridge on Rise destroyed? If I use the red stripped floor from TLJ do you think people will moan about continuety?
Just rotoscope it out with EbSynth. Not like that’s ever been tedious. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That would unironically be brilliant for a parody edit.
A New Home is by far my favorite track from the film and I’d be sad to see it go.
I did hear recently about his girlfriend’s ghost possessing his student and him being cool with that.
Now that’s what I call radical.
This sounds like it would be great if it weren’t for the fanfilm footage.
I should probably warn you that people don’t think highly of Ortega around here.
Making Pasaana a non-desert planet would be neat, but that kind of large scale VFX is really ambitious and the time would probably be better spent on something like Luke’s wig
You had me until Luke’s wig. It’s a much smaller detail than Pasaana and given the choice between the two I wouldn’t pick Luke.
^^^I’ve seen this easily done w/ Adobe Premier Pro and such but I simply don’t have/can’t afford the program. pls help
Premiere Pro is just editing software like any other. Da Vinci Resolve is free and fully equipped. Maybe you mean Adobe After Effects?
We know it’s not the only base, because Snoke isn’t there. Also, within mere hours they have control of the Galaxy. If their primary, let alone only, base is destroyed: they wouldn’t have the manpower or strategic positioning to make this happen.
Actually, the First Order instantly taking over the Galaxy is my single greatest grip with the trilogy and something I’m keen to erase any hint of. When they blow up the Senate, it just becomes a race to the conquer the Galaxy by two equal sides. I guess I’ll have to imply somehow that the Resistance fleet in TLJ is just one cell.
Every time someone talks about how something’s unfeasible in these radical redux threads, I kinda want to point them out to the absolutely batshit insane stuff in the earlier posts on the prequel radical redux thread.
Tbf, those posts are almost old enough to be in high school.
Turning Pasaana into Jedha does nothing for me. It’s still just another boring desert. Making Exegol Korriban doesn’t work because Korriban’s location should be well known.
I think if one were to try to get rid of the superweapon aspect of Starkiller Base, you could make the mission 1) Get the the other half of the map to Skywalker, and 2) Rescue Rey. It would make a lot of sense to make this change, since most of the film revolves around the search for Skywalker, then it gets sort of forgotten in the final act in favor another “destroy the superweapon” climax.
Instead of Han and Finn capturing Phasma in order for her to lower the shields, you could change the screen graphics to show the larger portion of the map that they need. Basically, Phasma is forced to give them the other half of the map, which Kylo Ren says they have at different points in the film. So no planetary shield, they drop out of hyperspace close to the planet only to not be detected by their sensors.
By implementing new computer screen inserts, as well as First Order officer/X-Wing pilot off-screen dialogue, you could reestablish the Oscillator as a planetary-scale tractor beam. After Rey escapes, the First Order could activate it so she (nor the Falcon) can escape. This is when the Resistance swoops in to try and help destroy it so they can escape with the map. They struggle with destroying it, which is when Han and the gang come in with their explosives. The “tractor beam” explodes, but the end is altered so the planet doesn’t explode.
I really like this. My only complaint is that they don’t bring a droid with them to hack the map out and instead we have to sit through that painful Finn and Phasma scene.
How would an edit like this deal with the ground splitting apart and stopping Rey from killing Kylo?
Concept art for the planet showed it having lava free flowing and I think that’d be a good way to further distinguish it from Hoth. This would easily explain the fissure that ends the duel.
Leia has sent her most daring pilot on a secret mission to Jakku, where a former Imperial cartographer has discovered the missing piece to Luke’s whereabouts…
I can take it or leave it. I don’t mind one way or the other.
What does that last one even mean?
UPDATE: Just found the perfect score for that scene.
They expect their team to get out before they blow it up. As for why they’re doing it, this could be explained as being in the only or biggest First Order base at this time.
If there’s nothing for the Resistance and characters like Poe to do, such as destroying Starkiller Base, what happens there? How does Finn trick Han to take him to Starkiller if not to lower shields on the Superweapon for the Resistance to then destroy it?
They still blow up the base, just not the whole freaking planet.
Most people are omitting the superweapon aspect of the base, so I would expect that to include omitting its destruction.
