Rey had zero idea who Anakin Skywalker was and seeing him in his young form is too out of left field for me, for him to appear I think he would need to show up before that moment for a Rey connection to work.

She says in TLJ that she knew about the redemption of Luke’s father… Also, Anakin literally speaks to her in TROS. There’s several other minor examples of her knowledge of Anakin but these are the main ones.

At the end of TRoS, have the whole Skywalker family appear to Rey.

Is this a subtle way of making fun of those of us editing Anakin and Kylo into the end of TRoS? 😄

I agree the new footage is a very good match. I’m not sure yet whether to go that route but it looks like we’ve got a great option ready to go, at any rate.

Thanks, glad you’ll consider it.

I don’t really get the lightspeed clip, though. Seems more frenetic than wiping from the ships leaving.

Okay, well, at least you were honest. 😄 Just thought that it wouldn’t hurt to at least see what it looks like.

heck yeah !

Glad you like it 😉

The new docu shot you’re using fits very well. I think an alternative way to cut the scene would be to remove the deleted Kylo shots from TLJ, and instead cut to one of those establishing shots, but maybe create the shadows of those TIE fighters drift across the landscape (or the TIEs themselves). That might help glue together the planet shot and the ground shot. The bridge shot right now feels a little odd, since we see him on the bridge, then a few seconds later in the middle of a battle.

Nice ideas, though like I said, I’m basically done even trying with this scene, so by all means the rest of you guys can go crazy with it, but I will probably leave it as it is in the film.

Remove implications that Finn has a crush on Rey and instead imply that he has a crush on Poe.

Just to spread some love.

The BBC footage is great. I would not include the cutaway to it at the end of the scene, however.

I agree about the cutaway. But the BBC footage was only 720p. Or were you talking about this footage? Beacuse this is from a Swedish documentry.

Okay, honestly I’ve kinda had it with working on this scene, but whatever, here we go… So in this new attempt to extend Mustafar, I’ve taken on board your very kindly worded critisism and replaced the very low quality BBC documentry footage with more appropriate ash-ridden forest footage. I also rescored the scene and altered colours as well as keeping the TLJ deleted shot of Kylo.
In all seriousness, it’s either this or nothing. If you don’t like the look of this, then I say to either keep it as it as or open on Exogol. There has been talk of using RO footage, I think this isn’t the best idea as we should probably stray away from repeating the same footage between films. But hey, if Poppasketti can erase Krennic’s shuttle, then why not?

Anyway, here it is:

(Quality is low, I know)

I’m also working on the lightspeed skipping scene so keep a look out for that. 😉

EDIT:
Here is the lightspeed concept I mentioned earlier:

IGNORE THE BLACK BORDERS CHANGEING. It’s a mistake I just noticed. 😃

Here is a test of this idea I had to illustrate Starkiller Base as a literal hyperspace cannon. Basically it ejects hyperspace into real space, which helps explain its ability to travel across the galaxy so quickly. And since hyperspace is effected by gravity, this helps explain how the “laser” splits apart to hit multiple planets at once. It also helps relate it more to the First Order’s other hyperspace-related technologies. I know red is a more intimidating color, but I thought I would play around with what it could look like.

Slaps forehead
Why didn’t I think of that! That’s brilliant! 😄

Heya! I’m the guy that made that~
Thanks for posting, I tried throwing it up on Reddit but it just got shit on so I deleted it ahah. Glad people here are enjoying it somewhat!

Mate, that was such a good clip, what I think all of us here can agree on is that you should probably go and take a look at Hayden’s robes at the end of the ROTJ Special Edition and use those. Then, voilà! A perfect edit! 😄

RogueLeader said:

Here is another go at a more intense version of the glow.

Looks like you and I are going to be going a little nuts with our work on Luke and Leia’s sabers. 😉

Extended lightspeed skipping shot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MUS1TkWp0IBaB72N3ehDH9ziHC-uLKy3

Well done!
In addition to that, it might also work to use the Falcon hyperspace wormhole shot from this teaser:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adzYW5DZoWs
As it was never used in the film. It also ends with a white screen, which might be easier to transition into Rey’s training instead of the black screen.
I’ll probably mock this idea up so stay tuned!

I see you too are a man of culture.

Nice. Looks like someone is doing my work for me. 😉
Stay tuned because I’m still working on improving my one…

In the early leaks she said that she sensed the birth of her son and so she wanted to give up the jedi path because of that (which follows logically) and goes hand in hand with the EU. In this version its pretty contrived and convoluted since Ben does die and even worse he was a student of the darkside, so her leaving the jedi path because of sensing his death is self defeating and just doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Does anyone else remember the really early leaks that said that the Leia and Luke flashback would be the first scene in the movie?

Edit:
This would explain why the BTS footage showed them filming an extended duel.

Adywan’s Revisited added in the center beam.

Yes, I am very familiar with all of Ady’s changes. I was simply mentioning how in snooker’s edit of the scene given to Hal, the beam was there, but in Ridley’s edit of the scene that Hal ended up using, it was missing.

Just realised that Ridley’s Falcon cockpit shots are missing the middle beam in the window. It seems that in all other films the beam is there.

Oh my god NeverarGreat, I’m dead. I’ve never laughed so hard.

I’ll be merciful. It’s text against an empty background. (It’s an end credit, once it starts scrolling.)

I thought you guys had agreed on the name Itchy…

poppasketti said:

Is Chase right about your Easter egg?! Or is he just quoting Jedi.

Actually I’m quoting Kenobi in AOTC.

Hal, I skimmed through all of LOE, desperate to find the Easter egg in all examples of text appearing on computer screens, in holograms, etc… The results: Nothing.
The only instance I was unsure of was the red holographic display in Palpy’s office, but I had nothing to compare it to so what do I know…

Hal 9000 said:
Lol, nice. Nobody has found my Easter egg in Ep3, either.

“No that’s not possible, the Jedi would be aware of it.”

Make the Tusken Raiders kill Luke in ANH, then have Ben Kenobi force-heal him back to life.

In case anyone else wanted to watch this… You should, it’s hilarious and a fun Carrie moment. The way she says “riveting” 😄

RogueLeader said:

A quick and dirty test of something else I would like to see. (Click image to see test video)

No fucking way… 😄 I was seriously already working on doing that exact same thing after I saw a Carrie Fisher interview where she said that if Leia had a lightsaber, it should be purple. I would love to see the finished result! 😃
