I think that new vader castle shot is very cool but it could use some work, the branches seem to moving all in unison with the wind. It makes it look like a 2d layer/a little cartoony, because in real life you’d expect to see each branch move slightly differently in distance and speed depending on their ‘volume.’ I think it’s a really ambitious thing to pull off to make an entire new digital shot, so other than that, since it’s a quick shot I think everything in the background is fine and looks good enough, especially the castle itself which looks amazing.

I was thinking it would only be used for a couple seconds in the sequence; you can’t really see tree slant unless it plays for entirety, Gonna test out Tie’s and possibly some small hints of the planets volcanic past using either fire, small lava burst or smoke plumes.

No idea, I just personally am not a fan of the Rogue One footage being used, currently implementing the First Order Ties. Don’t get a lot of free time.

Heres what the Vader Castle shot is currently looking like, rendered it in 4K. For some reason its quality in google drive preview page doesn’t look good, gotta download it to watch the fully rendered version.

What length do I need to make the Vader’s castle shot?

Cinefy, I’m really loving your work with the Mustafar shot so far, but I’m curious if you designed the organism concept image you shared.

I personally prefer the way this concept looks over your newest version. I know it is still a work in progress, but the the branches, the sky, the angle of the castle, it’s really spooky. You may have no done that original concept, though.

Yeah I’m still replicating the original concept, my friend and I made it some time ago, so right now It’s just about getting lightning / clouds right.

Started compositing Vader Castle shot for my personnel version today, just tweaking the lighting and mist levels to match the film right, I’ll probably leave a download link somewhere on here when It’s finished if anyone on here still wants it.

I still think something like this would be best option for Mustafar / Vader’s castle shot, I must just gonna give it a shot when I get the time.

Might be neat if evil vampire Rey had the Sith eyes.

100% down with this idea. Looks great was testing this out in Ebsynth recently for another project; this originating from the Prequels is another great way to tie the Sith stuff together.

Octorox said:

IMO, the best version of the Mustafar opening is still the “1-shot” version present in Ascendant V1. The Castle shot still looks janky and the new shot doesn’t really flow with the others.

Yeah as much as I want a Vader’s castle shot, I agree.

I’d rather just stick with what we’ve currently got than implement the new shot, especially if it means we have to remove Vader’s castle.

Just being bluntly honest the Vader’s castle shot just looks ripped from Rogue One, doesn’t feel naturally part of the sequence in my opinion, Tie’s especially stick out as clearly over layed and not tracked in properly,

However I do really want to see it. Would like to see something else composited together similar to the Naboo / Coruscant shots for Vader’s castle rather than directly taking footage from RO.

Personally feel like theres something off with the Vader castle shot, I’ll probably remove it from my personal copy. The tracking on the Tie’s doesn’t seem right and they look very obviously inserted rather than naturally fitting in like some of the other 3D edits that’s been made.

Would have been really nice if the Sith cultist choir had echoed subtle DOTF, tried testing it a few times.

Could be pulled off a lot better.

EDIT: So it’s from the LEGO game again. https://youtu.be/wgbt_g6WgXU?t=221 I feel like the line in this video I shared would actually work pretty well there.

I don’t think he’d rat them out, espically if he’s trying to sabotage Kylo Ren

Although, I am really interested to track down all the audio dialogue used for this game.

I think this idea is next level. 😉

Edit: (Please do not add this)

I think the Leia line could be added there, but don’t think anything should be removed. In that moment where its focusing on Rey/her bag, it feels like theres no one really there on set with her when she looks up and talks. Would fill the emptiness for me,

That lately’ line works even better if you ask me, that’s something I definitely could get onboard with; just needs a little adjusting to fit with other dialogue

Jar Jar Bricks said:

I’m sure there are plenty of examples of Rey saying no. In fact, I might as well look in the game files again lol.

Theres a ton of Daisy Ridley in Battlefront II if you ever need to search for dialogue like that.

I never realised how much of a gold mine of dialogue is in Lego: Star Wars the force awakens, especially since they got the actual cast to record stuff.

Jar Jar Bricks said:

Alright I got two options for Leia lines when Rey is messing with the bags. I put them both in the same video:

https://youtu.be/StyzmM6L4Zs

That first one sounds really great if someone can fix it up abit to match the scene.

I’m really glad this edit has taken the time to implement so many ideas. So much stuff has been added since the first version, when it seemed like things were over; I honestly hope this edit gets as much time as it can so it reach its full potential. This more than most edits for me, has really transformed the movie.

If I could cut one thing it would probably be the Zorii Blizz declining Poe moment at Resistance base, feels really pointless to just show her turning him down.

Jar Jar Bricks said:

I think we’re pretty much set at this point with possible changes. I’d like to be proven wrong, but that’s just how I feel.

Looking forward to seeing puppet show samples in the near future.

I’d really like to see that implemented and a couple small other things already on the table

I really don’t see the point of cutting this moment, I honestly think its fine how it is.

It gets to a point where things get altered or cut just because, sometimes feels pointless changing

That’s perfect if you ask me.

I’m confused what happened, is the line not being implemented now? I’d be ok with “You’ll take both sabers to exegol” being removed since its better left unsaid until the audience sees what happens later, I feel like the line is basically just an on the nose way of directly telling the audience the other ones for Kylo.
