Personally I don’t think there’s any music that could be more fitting than Burning Homestead for all of the Force ghosts returning in one final climax to help destroy Palpatine. It’s basically the Force theme- the perfect choice!

And while the opening straight to Mustafar is cleaner and paced better, I’d stick with keeping Mustafar. I love the idea of Kylo going there and will take any version of it even if it’s messy

I think the full de-blue is too much, but the 50% version looks nice. It fits more with my expectations of what a Force Ghost should look like.

Fully agreed- 50% deblue + LUT is by far the best. It’s the perfect blend between looking “real” but still having that slight blue glow… and you’re so right haha, the original looks even more ridiculous now

De-blue Luke is cool but too de-blued IMO. In most scenes, he looks like he’s actually physically there and just glowing white. Really good edit though

Could you post a link to it? I think Battle of the Heroes would be more fitting to emphasize the water/lava parallel.

Battle of the Heroes is my favorite duel and soundtrack- I agree that it’s very fitting for both fights with the parallels. I’m a big fan of this edit:

The track actually lines up really well 😄

I hadn’t seen those de-blued Lukes before! Looks wonderful

^ Agreed. Feels a bit rude but I’m not a fan of recent different Naboo shot

Haven’t seen this clip brought up but it seems to have used the entire Palpatine message:

Not that I think it should go at the end of TLJ, but there was some debate here about whether the entire message could be used (which I support 😃 )

Not to speak for Hal but this feels like a continuation and conclusion of his own ST edits in and of themselves, not necessarily the theatrical versions. Which I think everyone is doing a fairly good job of respecting thus far.

I think there’s an important balance to be found. It’s good that the three edits flow together well but IMO each one should be able to fit in fine with the other theatrical movies

^ Bespin, Coruscant, Naboo, and Jakku is a decent selection

I hate to say it but I’ve gotta agree with Axlos… the new Naboo shot is a bit strange. The smoke looks fake and the ship is falling too fast. It’s a good start though 😃

I think it would flow better if Coruscant and Naboo were switched. Having two sunsets back to back subconsciously implies close proximity of the planets (something that’s rife in the sequel trilogy). Also, if you switch them, we go from the bright centre of the universe to Jakku (nowhere) reminiscent of Luke’s comment in ANH.

This makes sense to me. I believe it would be more cathartic if the music swell matched the last time we see Coruscant and the Jedi Temple.

+1

I get that Luke and Rey used it for extended periods of time, I just think it’s strange to call it their’s when Anakin also used it and built it. If all three used it, why wouldn’t the named ownership go to the one who built it and first used it? This makes even more sense given that Luke and Rey both built their own sabers.

Has it been considered to change all of the dialogue about Anakin’s saber to reflect that it’s his? For example, Maz’s line in TFA is fine: “That lightsaber belonged to Luke, and his father before him” but there are lines in TROS that call it Luke’s when it’s, well, not. Luke built his own. For example, when Rey tells Leia “I will earn your brother’s saber” could brother somehow be replaced with father?

I agree that’s a message to take away from TLJ, but there’s something to be said about honoring the past too.

Feels important to mention that one of my biggest problems with TROS was the lazy return of Anakin’s saber and I suggested the crackle idea lol

Hoop28, the most recent workprint included color correction. An example of what the goal was can be found here: http://www.framecompare.com/image-compare/screenshotcomparison/7DDY7NNX

Although some people find the color correction to be a bit overly red-tinted in some scenes

Personally I’ve been following Hal’s edit but I support adding in StormPilot as much as possible 😃 I like the new final Ajan Kloss scene a lot more. Did you have to add in Rey’s theme instead to help with adjusting the scnes?

Not that I would be able to do it, but what is the general idea for the Vader’s Castle shot?

Just gonna hop in and say I prefer as crackly as possible lol. No subtley! 😃

IIFaneditor’s version is great! I really like having the entire message in like that

That came out really well, Hal! Message + no “16 hours”… I like it

I fully support the message being in the movie, super cool. I have no issue with “Somehow Palpatine returned” but the “16 hours…” line is pretty bad 😕

Does anyone have an edit of Palpatine’s speech added in? I think I’d vastly prefer that against just them talking about it 😕

Yeah the whole “Rey killed Leia” thing is a bit of a mess. I think if someone wants to go ahead and do it for themselves that cool but it doesn’t really belong in this

Hmm… can’t say I’m a fan of Rey killing Leia. Interesting idea but not for me

Is it possible to change around the voices Rey hears? It’s frustrating that she hears voices of Jedi who couldn’t preserve themselves past physical death. Keep the voices of Qui-Gon, Kenobi, Yoda, Anakin, and Luke- cut the rest? The gaps might be awkward so other lines from those characters could fill in.
