Anakin Starkiller

Move the binary sunset in ANH to the very beginning to bookend RoS.

Update: I tried watching the show again today (still without meds) and I got into it and binged it a bunch! Yipee!

Add captions like that for every planet, except instead using the actual names, just use made up ones. Don’t even need to be consistent about it.

Add time travel. Just time travel everywhere. Maybe Finn and Rose are in Mos Espa, or there’s two Lukes on the Death Star. Stuff like that. Go full Back to the Future.

Yeah, I agree with that Jedit.

Sometimes when I’m watching TV or a movie, or playing a video game, I get this overwhelming stress that I might not be in the mood to fully enjoy the content. This easily snowballs into a self-fulfilling prophecy where I don’t enjoy the content because I’m too stressed about the possibility of not enjoying the content. As petty as it is it’s been killing me inside for the past several years. This constant overhanging doubt. It’s not always there, but it is there often enough to make a difference. Especially for rewatches. Today I tried rewatching a show I love and I couldn’t get past 7 minutes because of that stress. I’ll try tomorrow with my concentration meds.

My life is being held together by duct tape and Batman, and I am so sick of Batman (tried Lego Batman today and god it is nowhere near as good as the Lego games based on existing stories). Swap that with Star Wars hype and it’s 2015 all over again but with more awareness and I hate it. I feel disinterested in my writing, although I have started learning guitar, which has helped me keep busy. I do dabble in drawing from time to time, but hardly enough to even maintain skill, let alone improve. It’s either focus on everything or focus on nothing, depending on whether I take my meds. I don’t have anything to occupy myself because my usual hobbies are failing me.

Please send help.

I wouldn’t call Prequel Yoda abominable. He looks fine. I’m just editing for consistency. It’s not that he looks bad, it’s that he looks different.

I’m glad you like it though. Unfortunately, it’s not a proper deepfake. It’s just a manually edited frame run through EbSynth. What made is what you got. The process could be repeated, however, although it would be tedious.

We could try EbSynthing Hayden’s face onto Shaw’s. God knows that never goes horrifyingly wrong. For better results, we could try a Deepfake.

I rescored Han Solo’s cameo / Ben Solo’s redemption to have a more Skywalker feel, did this back when the HDR released.

I used the theme from the Phantom Menace when Anakin is freed from Slavery, feels like a really beautiful call back and flows perfectly with this scene, especially being that Ben Solo is the last Skywalker it felt just right, the Saga begins with Anakin being freed to this track and now it ends with Ben Solo being freed from the darkside.

I’m curious to see how well this blends in with the rest of the scene, as the original had music. Is the dialog on an isolated channel?

That’s amazing! The music transitions could use a little work. In the shot from inside the transport, you can clearly see that it’s not Mustafar, and I’m not really onboard with a shot featuring a palm tree, but aside from that this is fantastic! Oh and I’d leave out the shot of the eruption.

What Battlefront map did you use and how did you make it look like Mustafar? I’m guessing the burning foliage was already there?

Hal, for the end are you thinking of using Idir’s “Rey Skywalker” with or without music?

Also, I was thinking about the scene where Rey hears the voices of Jedi past, and I was thinking that if it works with the audio, that cutting Ahsoka’s line would be a good idea.

Don’t get me wrong, she’s my favorite SW character and I love Ashley’s voice for her, but her presence in that scene was confusing for fans.

Because all of the other Jedi Rey hears are dead, people of course wondered if Ahsoka was too, prompting Dave Filoni to say that she was fine. Which makes it weird that she’s in the scene.

Secondly, she’s getting ready to make a live action appearance played by a different actor, which imo compounds the weirdness of her TRoS appearance.

Anyway, just some thoughts.

She should’ve died on Malachor. The fandom has circlejerked a good character into a gift from god who cannot and must not die.

On the subject of Mustafar, I realized recently that the famous shot of Kylo Ren extending his lightsaber (from the first TFA teaser trailer) didn’t actually appear in the movie. Plus, it doesn’t show his surroundings very much so I was thinking that some color correction could be used to make it look like he’s arriving to fight the Mustafarians.

I had seen that suggested somewhere and if it can be done it could work great. Key word: could.

That’s great and all but literally the only line I could make out was “No. It was Snoke.”

To match TFA, 3PO has a differently colored arm in every film (except Rogue One, where it matches ANH).

“My name is Lil’ Young Solo now. I’m a rapper.”

I would trim the Mustafar bit. It’s really good, but goes on for too long, and one or two of the shots of Kylo’s face have some really iffy rotoscoping.

As interesting and impressive of a task that is Jonh … I am the guy who hated everything about Rebels so anything that plays tribute to it, especially the “World between Worlds” and Time Travel crap … it’s a nope for me.

I too disliked Rebels, and hated the time travel, but the World Between Worlds itself I actually really like. It plays into the mysticism of the Force. Just because a show is bad doesn’t mean there aren’t good elements within it.

“Ah, that’s a breath of fresh air. Now to give the post-Columbus Harry Potter films (the Yates ones especially) the same treatment.”

That’s me posting that. A year ago.

It’s also just so “current”. It just feels like the sort of terminology that’s instantly dated. At least the user who makes those edits swapped out their avatar to be less smug and punchable.

Hey look, it’s me, Ender, in the comments.

I would put a filter over that to indicate it’s a vision. Not because it isn’t obvious but just because it looks strange not having one. It also clarifies that your jarring cutaway is not part of the vision. Yeah, that scene transition is rough. You need an establishing shot.

On a different note, how would you guys feel about TLJ ending with Kylo finding Palps, but we don’t find out it’s him 'til the end of RoS. Basically, we don’t see him, and his only line would be “I have been every voice you have ever heard inside your head.” Since the line is said in the voices of three different characters, people won’t just immediately assume it’s Palpatine. Then again, maybe it’s too obvious that the master manipulator of this trilogy would be the same guy doing exactly that in the first six films.

Damn. How long was it even open for? I feel like I blinked and missed it.

You’re unlikely to find people volunteering to perform any significant FX work, but might I suggest EbSynth? It works wonders in my experience, so long as you provide it enough keyframes.

That explains the username.
