Why Palpatine wanted Rey dead:

Wow, mate! That’s pretty close to perfect in my opinion!
Perhaps the word “any” could be a little softer and slower? I don’t know… If you can’t do anything else with it I would take it as it is!
I can’t choose! 😂 They’re both so damn perfect!
Edit:
I think it is an absolute MUST to have the final shot be Rey leaving Tatooine. It represents that rather than having her dwell on the past and mirror the ending of ROTS, she has better things to do and has no problem leaving behind the memory of Luke so that she can start her own life and new Jedi order.
Slight update to the end shot. I made the falcon darker, less thin, toned down the blue, and a couple of other small adjustments. Still have to things I want to tweak, though!

Perfect.
When Poe says:
“In 16 hours, attacks on all free worlds begins”
Change the line so that he instead says:
“In 16 hours, attacks on all three worlds begins”
To explain why we only see three planets in the end montage: Bespin, Endor and Jakku. They were the only planets to be attacked.
It always makes me smile when I see how excited and involved oojason gets when he replies in new threads! 😃 He always has something hilarious or even deeply insightful to say…
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! 😂
At a first glance at this thread’s heading, it looked to me like you were against releasing the unaltered editions! 😂
‘Heir of the Emperor’ or bust 😃
Oops! Just realised that using ‘heir’ and ‘emperor’ in the same title implies Rey Palpatine…
Which is what we don’t want!
My favourite is “Balance of the Force”
Here’s an idea!
Instead of “Heir to the Empire”
How about “Heir to the Emperor”
Here are a few shots. They’re fairly underwhelming;
Not underwhelming at all mate! In fact it’s overwhelmingly good!
part 1 finished
Anyone who knows audio could do a good mix, I did it with shitty sounds from youtube !! hahaha

Yes!!! 😄
You did it, my wish was fulfilled!!!
Anakin is in lightside robes!!!
Terrific work Jonh!!! Your name has found a place into the credits of my fan-edit! 👍
Now all we need is part 2!!!
Here’s an update to the ending bits I’ve been playing with. Maybe these can work individually or be inspiration for other ideas.

pw: faneditI further tweaked the “just Rey” line, and added a more pronounced “t”.
I also added an updated version of the new end shot I’ve been messing with, which removes Rey and BB-8, instead having the falcon fly off into the binary sunset.
Wow!
Never been a huge advocate for a Ben force ghost, but the “Just Rey” line is perfect and the falcon is getting much better! I honestly had a huge smile on my face when it jumped to hyperspace! 😄
I do however, strongly believe that you should experiment with having the falcon just be a silhouette to hide the imperfections of the model. I would also suggest fattening it a little and toning down the blueness of the engine. Just my thoughts, you don’t have to try all those things! 😃
Edit:
Do you realise Poppa, that you may have potentially converted a scene that I consider to be the worst of any Star Wars film into one that I can somewhat tolerate! 😂
I’ve run all the ROTS deleted scenes through all four current (Video) Gigapixel HD algorithms and have been going through deciding which is best for each shot and blending in others if necessary. So far I’ve found Artemis HQ generally works best; CG is cleaner but makes less of an attempt to add detail. I can post a few screenshots later. It’s not that significant an improvement over Hal’s upscales for most shots, honestly. Small faces are a weakness as well - I may attempt to enhance them with Remini but that’s a lot more manual work than I was really intending to put in.
You never fail to impress me sade1212!
It’ll be interesting to see if you can somehow enhance these scenes…
Please let me know who you are, you clever bastard, but someone came up with that line to replace “Whoever this Chewie person is, this is madness!” with “And I will be your protocol droid!” I’m not sure if this has been officially included yet.
Sorry for the delay, I’ve missed like three pages of replies, I only just woke up!

^ Here it is!
Also, Skenera, that lightning is fantastic!
^worst
Untrue. Her arc would be learning that it’s what you do not where you come from that decides who you are.
Yeah… Kind of stupid of me to say that… Sorry.
Anyway, I wish I hadn’t brought it up because I know such discussions aren’t allowed in threads like this.
I would say it’s best to just pick up where we last left off, whether I think Rey Palpatine can be cut or not is irrelevant anyway. Whatever Hal does, he’ll do it well.
The hard thing about Rey realizing she is a nobody in TLJ, and that her parents had no special reason for leaving her, was that she had no purpose or destiny to follow. She is looking for her place in this universe, this story, and having a “special backstory” would’ve given her that. So in IX, Rey needs to forge her own destiny. Choose who she is going to be. Will she become a Sith? Become a Jedi? Begin a new order with Kylo Ren?
In a way that was probably 100% unintentional, Rey’s white outfit represents this tabula rasa aspect of her character. She’s a blank slate, but she’s weighed down by the burden of choice. She’s faced with her inner darkness and inner light, and she’s trying to find that balance within her, and I think that is empowering for people that are also having to go on these journeys of self-discovery in their own lives. Rey being a Palpatine is totally unnecessary to tell that story. If anything, it makes things easier for her because the evil lineage storyline has already been told with Luke and Vader. Plus it’s more repetitive for us as an audience.
Great analysis. I’m not saying Rey Palpatine is good, because it’s not, it’s lazy and there’s a million better ways to write her story, but I just don’t think that Rey Palpatine can just be deleted from the film without creating massive collateral damage.
First, I was wondering about the possibility of completely redubbing the clones in Ep 2 & 3 with Dee Bradley Baker from The Clone Wars? He recorded so much dialogue for that series there had to be enough to convincingly cobble together dialogue that either resemble or match the little dialogue the Clones actually have in the films.
Not sure why anybody would do this, since they are CLONES then you would have to redub Jango as well. Why take away his natural voice in all its New Zealander gloriousness and replace it with an American doing an impersonation?
I am still too stubborn to be convinced that Rey Palpatine can be removed.
Rey will literally have no arc if you remove it.
I do think yellow lightning could still be cool in a Rey Palpatine version.
I was spending some time today figuring out how I could pull off yellow lightning for you, but it seems it would require tons of frame by frame masking as we are dealing with thin, blue and white elements against a blue and white background. I do however wonder if Skenera would be able to do it, after seeing what they had done with Leia’s saber!
What do you think Skenera? Is it as difficult as I say it is? 🤔
The Palpatine clones shots have been rendered and posted to the “Master Clips” folder on my drive. PM me if you don’t have the link!
There’s three versions, one with green bacta, one with red, and one with red that has larger bodies and less murkiness (a specific request).
Palpatine Clones - Green
Palpatine Clones - Red
Palpatine Clones - Red - No Murkiness
Awesome! Great work Poppasketti!
But is there a green with no murkiness?
Right, okay. So the Fett clones were all phased out…
But Palpy wants to bring a clone army back…
So,
In all of Palpy’s immense wisdom…
He decides to do the only logical thing and yet again, clone the same guy who died over 60 years ago despite the fact that he possesses very few special abilities and there is already a large enough First Order army as well as an entire planet (Exegol) of humans who have already devoted their lives to him to a point where they literally resurrected him.
The Fett clones came from Kamino, so why would these clones on Exegol turn out the same?
Also, the cloners on Exegol have proven that they can clone force sensitive people, so if you wanted to clone an entire army, why wouldn’t you create an army of Sith lords instead of Jangos? That would beat the cavalry!
I keep playing with a “T” sound and I keep changing it! Sometimes it sounds smoother to me without it, but then it feels missing. I’ll keep playing, and post something for others to use when I feel good about. I can move this to the other TROS thread because I don’t think it’s something for this edit.
I think that seeing that this is like, the last line in Star Wars to be spoken, ever… It would really need to be nailed to convince people.
At the moment I think it’s really well done! Only thing for me that is holding it back is like many have said, the missing ‘t’ sound.
^I am suspicious, but will let it pass.
Nawh bud I just saw it on reddit.
PS: Irish;)
Nice! Do you live in Ireland or are you just from there?
