The captain Hux line sounds perfect to me.

Since the conference scene is being brought up again, I mentioned this a couple times already, though quite some time ago… I still really feel that Pryde’s line about ‘conjuring star destroyers’ directly contradicts what this edit attempts to imply about the Final Order’s resources. If we want a hypothetical first time audience to believe these ships are a stashed remnant of the Empire, it seems weird not to cut it.

I’m not sure if this is an issue on my end or something wrong with the source, but I noticed in the AOTC preservation there seems to be this pixellated distortion effect in the bottom right corner of the frame for a few seconds around the time the characters react to Jango’s beheading.

Does anyone else have this going on with their file? I’d be interested to know…

If I see it pop up again anywhere else in the film I’ll post here.

That’s great Sherlock! However many people here, including myself, won’t be able to download the file at once with the free version of Mega, is there any way you could provide a link just for viewing as well?

Apologies if I missed anything in the thread about this, but was there ever any interest expressed in adding the ‘Finn and the villager’ back into the film?

JEDIT: Also updated the dice background for continuity with the rest of the scene.

Looking really good Nev! 😮

Just curious, any particular reason for changing the cropping of the shot? Seems a little more zoomed…

Also I wonder if the Falcon’s hull should be shadowed/tinted the slightest bit more, I feel like with this new background being somewhat darker the ship blends with the environment a tiny bit less. I dunno, just the first thing that came to mind.

Major bump.

I very much hope that emanswfan has been doing well these last few months, especially during such difficult times all around the world.

Just thought I’d interrupt the long stretch of silence to let them know that I am still eagerly awaiting any further news on the state of this project, and hoping that it hasn’t been completely forgotten! 😉

If you’re still struggling with computer issues mate, I’d be more than happy to give a little support your way to make things all the more easier, and I’m sure they’d be others who may be willing as well. 😃

I agree with RogueLeader, a little light reflection or glare or whatever would definitely hide the imperfections of the face.

That new clip is still absolutely fantastic though, certainly as close to perfect as it ever could be given the limitations.

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what you come up with to replace the background!

Amazing, amazing stuff Nev! That arm reconstruction work is so seamless I had forgotten where the camera covered it up.

One thing I did notice that I should probably point out is that the little piece of metal that Han hangs the dice on seems to slide around quite a bit, might be a good idea to stabilise it in some way…

In regards to the face though, my suggestion for the simplest solution would probably be to just trim the clip and make do with a little bit of a loss of continuity between shots. Not sure how other people would feel about that though.

Has anyone here been successful in obtaining a link?

Anyway, uh… Can I have one too? 😃

Hey, just checking in again after a long time. Did you guys ever finish Rey’s crackly saber?

Just look 4 posts above you mate…

But short answer:

Hell yeah! I know what I’m spending my weekend doing now… 😉

That’s pretty amazing Nev, nice work! 👍

Bringing this scene to life now seems like much more of a possibility.

Though not sure what can be done about the temporarily obstructed elbow and face… 😕

I only just noticed today the drive link for these edits I got like 2 years ago is down, lol. Rather than unnecessarily bumping another thread, I thought I’d just ask for the new link here. Thanks Hal!

This has gotta be breaking the site’s rule about public links…

SC 38 should’ve just filmed this:

Never forget that Adywan predicted the creation of SC 38 back in 2009:

worst edit ideas?

An extended lightsaber fight with Obi-Wan and Vader replaced by CG so Obi-Wan can now do back-flips and they can both twirl their lightsabers for 5 minutes without making contact.

Somehow I feel like V4 worked a little better…

Can’t speak for everyone else though.

Just jumping in again to ask if Captain Faraday has managed to make any more progress with the Jedi voices scene… Are you still having those same issues mate? I can always take a look at it if you’re needing a second opinion on something.

Phenomenal. Both of those clips. 👍
I agree about the Captain Hux line, though not sure if anything could be done about.

However one thing I know we’ve all discussed to death in the past is this film’s concept of amassing an enormous fleet of star destroyers seemingly out of thin air, I recall us experimenting with a line for Poe pulled from the Resistance show about ‘relics of a bygone era’ but we couldn’t get it to work. After seeing the conference scene again I’m now wondering if the simplest solution would be to somehow remove Pryde’s line about ‘conjuring legions’ What do you guys think?

That’s pretty neat Sade1212! Though I do agree about the issue with the musical swell making the dialogue seem a little anti-climatic.
Quick recommendation and shameless plug- you might wanna check out this thread for many other takes at the same scene. It’s a bit of a brainstorming factory for different Rey Nobody related ideas and clips and there have been a couple editors (including Hal) who plan on plucking out the best approaches once they come to fruition to directly implement into their own edits.
Your contribution to the collection of clips would be very helpful.

Seamlessly done Burbin! PM sent.

That little extra detail of the binary beacon is fantastic Nev!
Mate, how the hell do you get these ideas??

Regarding the Falcon shot, maybe I’m just an idiot, but I don’t see the issue with the angle of the cockpit between the TFA shot and the one from Empire… If it is noticeable to some, surely obscuring most of the behind the scenes shot with the glass and window frame would completely sell it. At least it does in my head… ¯\(ツ)/¯
