Sorry for the double post, that never happens… I promise!

I just wanted to quickly thank you again (as many others have already) for the release Hal, I was up until 4 Christmas morning listening to the group commentary you guys put together, it was seriously entertaining and occasionally got a big laugh out of me.
It’s sad that I’ll never get to listen to another one again as I have for all releases you’ve put out. I really appreciated the brief shoutout over my 3PO line, it honestly brought my experience with the project from day 1 full circle, as I remember PMing you about it right after this enormous thread was first created. It’s really been a fun 2 years.
I also thought I should point out that I haven’t forgotten about that final contribution I offered up a few weeks ago, just gimme a little while longer and we should have a solid addition for the project’s public release.

Thanks mate,
Chase

WASTE THE MOTHERFUCKER!

Edit: Damnit I’m an idiot, of course that was intentional. 😂

I’ve got a bit of a difficult decision to make.
For months I’ve had both of these 60x90cm posters (about 24x35") hanging on my wall.
After some reorganising over the holidays I should be able to finally make room for a ROTJ one, my question for all you guys is, which one in particular should I get?

I’m not too familiar with all the ones out there, I chose this particular ESB one because of how closely the art style and general composition matched the SW’77 one.
I haven’t really been able to find one for Jedi I would consider similar enough to go with these other two…

Any suggestions? (if you can find more than one, it would be nice to have a couple options to pick from)

Thanks!

Chase

To counteract those wanting the SE Hayden force ghost retained in ROTJ, redub Anakin across all three prequels with an AI generated Sebastian Shaw voice sourced solely from him in his later years.

Fade out to black on the shot in AOTC of Obi-Wan drinking at the bar in the nightclub.
Then immediately afterwards, fade in on the shot in ROTS of him regaining consciousness whilst hanging in the elevator shaft during the rescue of Palpatine.

Regarding further questioning of this project’s status/progress on a ‘Rey Nobody’ cut:

I don’t have much time or headspace to delve into this one, and probably wouldn’t really spark much, so I’m dedicated to putting out my regular TROS edit and then plugging in whatever consensus or best approach emerges from this discussion.

By ‘this discussion’ he means this thread

Hopefully this will ease up most of the posting traffic here. 😉

The way he says “I am Boba Fett” is eerily reminiscent of the same line in the Holiday Special.

both the higher and lower of those sound flawlessly integrated, with my preference tending slightly towards the lower one.

There’s too many to keep track of, but at the moment many bot accounts are launching a spam invasion across the site.

I like this new direction you’re trying out Sherlock, you’re right about the echo/surround, once it’s been polished some more this could make for a good alternative.

I do think I prefer the arrangement that came prior to this, (can’t remember if it was you or someone else, but it was the one that retained the name Hux) I definitely feel that approach came as close to perfect as possible.

Ah yes,
I recall probably a year or so ago somebody (may have been snooker) put out a request for a HD version of that exact TV spot. The intent was to use the brief shot of Kylo putting on his helmet to ‘block Sith whispers’ or something, to provide better clarity as to why it was reforged.

A HD version was never found.

here’s my take on the opening:

Okay, this has won me over on the two shot option. Brilliant ideas all around.

Finished watching V1. 😃

Funnily enough, I only just watched the prior workprint for the first time in full last week! 😄 Didn’t expect the final edit to be done so quickly!

I’ve taken several notes in the case that you’re interested Nev, but I won’t have the time to get it typed up until the weekend. I only wanted to post this now to remind myself.

Unless of course, you’re not looking for new suggestions at this time, which I totally understand. It’d save me the typing! 👍

Alternately - and though I do like the two-shot implementation - we could just use the Biomes shot in its entirety since it has every element (Castle, Lava, Forest, TIEs), instead of splitting the elements over two or three shots. We’d just need to extend the TIE flyover slightly.

I second this.
Even though I was the initial person to discover the Youtube video of the second shot that Poppasketti modified, something about knowing exactly where it came from sorta distracts me in a way that it sticks out, I feel like the biomes shot would more naturally flow into the theatrical footage.

Just my thoughts.

Jar Jar Bricks said:

I would think that would be perfect continuity, no? They’re going deeper and deeper into the forest to get the Wayfinder, and when he gets it you can see the castle behind him in the distance.

That was my exact interpretation when I watched it.

Obi-Wan lives in literal denial that Anakin and Vader are the same person.

“What I told you is true.”

LOL
Though that’d actually be an interesting premise for the Kenobi show…

Okay, lot of catching up to do… 😄

RogueLeader, I just got your PM, I’m really glad that people are eager to pick up the torch on the saber shots. If Hal is too busy with all this other stuff I can still get you those shots. Shouldn’t be too much trouble.

In regards to finishing Luke’s haircut, I don’t know if many people realise this, but Jonh provided that footage at full resolution… I’ve already taken a look at what needs to be done to fix it, and it’s extremely minimal, only small amounts of masking for literally only a handful of frames is needed. Keep in mind that we plan on adding a day to dawn regrade on top of this, which would cover up pretty much all of these rough edges.

For the statue, I honestly didn’t expect people to still be interested in this, and I had sorta hoped you’d all forgotten. Lol
I guess because of this I’ve gotta get it finished at some point now. I’m in the middle of working on something for another member of the site as well (outside of this fanedit/thread) which is the top priority at the moment. Worth also mentioning that next week I finally get to go back to work again after over half a year!

I can’t really help with the instructions, but I could certainly get you the shots you need RL, just PM me if you’re interested.

Yep! The puppet show is looking fantastic as is, I recommend checking it out on the Vimeo link Dom. I really still can’t believe you guys were able to pull that thing off… 😮

That’s a whole lot better Nev! Brilliant work as always.

PM sent.

Redo every wipe transition in the saga to have a solid edge rather than a feathered one.

Looks more natural now. Awesome.

Your avatar is really confusing me! 😄

I was searching Reddit for posts of mine in order to relist download links and came across something nearly a year old in which someone tore through this project’s changelist to demonstrate how the author is reactive, doesn’t understand the film’s meaning, and essentially making the edit to complain. (I get why fan edits of SW put a poor taste into the mouths of some, I really do. And I could imagine such a change log reading that way if that’s what one assumes going in. On the other hand, if the original film had shown the Force ghosts and we worked hard to paint them out, I’m sure the conversation would be the same but merely inverted.)

That’s awful Hal, I’m sorry you had to read all that. I don’t understand how someone wouldn’t notice the time and effort that goes into things like this. As someone who lacks pretty much any kind of motivation I know how disheartening listening to this kind of stuff can be.

Honestly I’m so done with people online in general as of recently I feel like I need to just mentally check out until things blow over down here. This is really the last thing I needed to hear today.
