Here is the puppet show! It’s very short, but hopefully people will think it’s worth all of the effort. I’m sure I’ll need to tweak it some more, so I’m just gonna share a streamable link until it’s finalized.

Absolutely stunning, thanks so much for bringing this idea to life. I love the idea of the Pasanna people having they’re own interpretation of what an AT-AT looks like going off of the stories they’ve heard.

Might not work, but would be amazing to have a little Skywalker chime play during the scene.

Was rewatching Revenge Of The Sith for the first time in a long time, could be interesting if we heard Palpatine’s echoey Sith scream while he’s being disintegrated & defeated by Rey or should I say ‘all the jedi’. The sound is played a few times in the clone wars / prequel era.

The sound almost adds this feeling that his spirit is being destroyed / suffering.

I think the shoot has improved …
What is your opinion?

This updated Ghost shot by Jon is amazing, just wondered if he’s put it out in full quality yet.

I think I missed this change, but does Kylo now refer to General Hux as a Captain? would definately add small bit of development for him in his reason for betraying First Order, other than trying to sabotage Kylo; assuming it would be at “sense unease in my appearance Captain Hux”

Also regarding the force ghost scene, I believe Jon h shared an updated shot of a side angle of the ghosts reaching out, also fixing an error with Luke’s cloak; does anyone know if its being used for the next version or if Hal saw it?

I recall seeing a Darth Nihilus edit on Exegol that added his statue when Kylo’s first meeting Palpatine; believe its as he goes down the Elevator, anyone know if it was finished or any updates on it?

Also, one more thing. Has any one found the original matte painting for Tatooine that they used in ROTJ?

Think I’ll be able to send you the 4K Battlefront II render of Tatooine’s planetary loading screen, I’ll try looking for it now.

EDIT: I also did a bit more work on this thingy: https://streamable.com/ffimpr

I think Rey saying she’s just a Jedi is perfect and makes her character way less overally god-like, we see the visual representation of the Jedi spirits supporting her rather than entirely living inside her like she’s some host, it’s almost a great way of saying she’s completed her training. But Palpatine should still really say that “he’s all the Sith” it’s not just a random one liner like what Rey said. Definitely restoring ‘I am all the sith back to my personnel copy if it’s removed.

What software did you use for this?

Just photoshop, are you considering making the Tatooine angle upside down? Think it’d be better to harken back to original and keep it the same way up as ANH

It was supposed to jump into hyperspace at the final frames, but the animation looked extremely weird and I couldn’t get that hyperjump trail that poppasketti did.

Put together a little concept for you’re Falcon ending idea.

I think it’d look really good if it flew over briefly instead of instantly jumping to light speed would be such a great ending calling directly back to the first ever Star Wars scene

Dat_SW_Guy said:

For reference, this is how the shot looks without compression
(I added way too much film grain so it looks noisy)

Have to say, I’m absolutely in love with this idea of showing the final shot as the opening pan on Tatooine, I think it should really leave the falcon more time to fly over before jumping to hyperspace though. The cut seemed a bit rough, but the music is perfect

Heres a test VFX shot of Rey shooting out Force Lightning instead of the Force Push to signify her instability, the compression makes it look slightly weird but it’s okay: https://streamable.com/cqtffo

That looks good, I think the displacement is just a little too high for such a brief shot, could be interesting to show Finn’s skull for less than a second instead of it hitting him like one of those other concepts

Hal 9000 said:

Yeah, I see no reason to add a hand. lol

And I hate to be a wet blanket, but Rey using lightning on Finn doesn’t strike me as feeling right for that moment. It could’ve been scripted that way, but with what we have to work with Finn still flies backward and Rey doesn’t blink about any of it.

Yeah I’m not a big fan of Rey using force lighting on Finn, feel like it would probably look weird especially since ILM force lighting is hard to replicate unless you do it in Nuke

Could be interesting if Mustafar forest surfaces had some lava cracks in the floor for some of the shots

Has there been any consideration for edits referencing the new Snoke origin from Vader comic, involving Luke’s hand? Could be interesting addition somewhere on Exegol. I know It’s not actually confirmed but we know Luke’s severed limb was there anyway.

Version 3 of Jon’s force ghost edit is great, I think It’ll please a lot of people who wanted some of those other characters included for their personnel edits etc. I do think the V2 force Ghost sequence that we already have with Obi-Wan, Anakin, Yoda and Luke should remain the same prefer the simplicity.

Here’s an idea for an edit to the Battle of Exegol that uses some Vehicle Flythroughs footage:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB4hSGtdD8o

That’s an interesting concept, It’s a shame how short the Exegol sequence is given it was the final installment, it falls really short when you compare it to Rogue One which is almost what you’d think a small spin-off amongst a massive franchise, Scarif some how got a well paced 45 minute final sequnce vs the franchise conclusion feeling rushed and only getting 20, any small extensions to Exegol by my opinion would really improve things.

Hello There, I’d love to check this out.

Not really. Just meant that I haven’t been able to do much with it the last month or so as I’ve been busy.

Well, atleast it gives time for more ideas and edits.

It’s looking unlikely that I’ll be able to finish the Vader’s castle moment I’ve been working on for last couple weeks; only disappointing because it took me such long time to make it. Spent all week looking for someone to animate the First Order Tie Fighters, but not had any luck or responses, Sorry.

You know me and the LEGO lines haha. I may take a look at those sometime today (unless somebody beats me to it).

I have a bunch 3PO’s TFA lines but they’re all in .OGG audio format, which my Mac doesn’t run.

“We are highly trained Resistance spies, so I’m told” would sound better if even possible. Lego SW TFA has tons of C3PO audio too

If someone is willing to render the ties as a transparent mov or on a coloured backdrop I can composite better ties into the scene, I wasn’t 100% confident about them either but needed to see what you guys think first.

First Order Tie Fighter 3D model I have isn’t that good either, just grabbed something of Sketchfab because the Battlefront II models I have aren’t working for me.

Tried adding some pine trees and Volcanic activity to the Vader’s castle shot, but not found anything as of yet that feels right for this particular shot in those regards so didn’t render with it. Currently have tested out backdrop Tie-Fighters for a flyby and added small camera motion as requested. Stock footage is hard to work in-terms finding a way to composite / implement Lava footage, if anyone has any ideas on that note can still test things out.

My friend sent me this Nihilus Exegol edit Dr Cornelius made, I believe its on one of the other IX edit topics.

I personally really like the inclusion of subtle SW references like this, some will say stuff like this is too minuscule and unnecessary to bother including, just disappointing we didn’t get more tie-ins like this in the Sequels feels like the Prequel era and other points in timeline were erased/forgotten.
