If someone can send a 4k frame/the Vader castle shot from the movie that I sent in the concept, I think I could edit the scene, just would need Popsketti to add the 3 ties in sometime later. My download of Rogue One is only 1080p.
I think best approach would be submerging the castle amongst a large chunk of mist or trees that are either in frame in the distance or out of focus in front of the camera, also think the lava fall needs to go and maybe the castle lights should be out to show Vader’s not home. Should be enough to look significantly different from Rogue One shot.
I’m not at all ruling out a shot of Vader‘s castle to open us up on Mustafar. However, I think at worst it would be just fine to have the castle show up in the background. I think that’s a good inclusion even on its own.
For the Rogue One establishing shot, I think it’d almost need to lose the lava flow to fit in with how the location is portrayed as healing or growing trees now. If there can be chinks or pieces crumbled off, even better. Now, I don’t know if that’s even possible to do. But if it is, I think that may it really feel like it belongs in the scene. We’d follow three TIEs from space and through a couple establishing shots and onto Kylo.
The castle doesn’t need to be seen with forest around it, but I’d feel better about it without lava.
I’d say It’d be important to implement trees unless we tried to make it appear the forest is behind Vader’s castle and add fog/mist out towards the distant area where the forest would be, could then have the Ties fly into the mist and then go on to the overview shot we already have.
Just was looking through the Vader’s castle Mustafar shots in Rogue One since people have brought it up quite a few times about wanting it more included in the opening sequence, don’t exactly see its importance, but I see why its a bit pointless to add in a tiny easter egg thats not expanded on for more than one shot; however it could be possible to reverse this one Rogue One shot and rotoscope out Krennics shuttle; just need to find a good way to implement/track in the forest on the lower portion.
I didn’t have the effects & presets option ticked. This is a game-changer. 😃 What grain settings do you use?
Here’s a second pass

pw: faneditLooking at it now, Maybe the trees should be roto’d but that’s a little out my league for now.
That’s great, lowering the saturation may do it some improvement. Other than that perfect.
I almost wonder if at some point they considered having Luke be physically alive to some extent. Like, maybe Luke could appear physically, as if he achieved an even higher enlightment than the other Jedi. But that wouldn’t explain why they would have to conceal his hand… Very weird. I don’t see why, under any circumstance, they would want to hide his right hand, unless they briefly played with the idea of him having some physical form and they weren’t sure how to depict his right hand.
It was a question they didn’t want to answer or change the continuity of, they could have given him a fresh new hand or given him his mechanical; people asked this same question about Anakin in ROTJ and it was left unanswered think they’re simply doing the same with Luke.
Had that exact same idea for the force world clip last night, I’m sure someone could do it better but it would definitely be cool to see something like this.

I feel like the Luke footage doesn’t really fit there; I was trying to keep this idea very simplistic

And even if jonh did want to add more force ghosts, I’d stick with the four we have. Feels right, and it’s the only Force ghosts we’ve seen in the saga.
I agree, I don’t think we need more ghosts that what we’ve seen; would feel a bit odd.
This probably belongs in the ideas thread for another edit for sorts, but interested to see what you guys think of this.

It’s cool and all, but if that were in the movie it would need to be followed up on. I don’t think it’d fit into the movie as it is.
I was just thinking it follows up nicely with Luke on Ahch-To and him showing up to help Rey on Exegol and then later being on Tatooine.
Probably won’t work on this edit but could be interesting if someone did something where Luke force projects Han Solo’s memory to Ben in order to redeem him and pushing him todo the right thing.
Had this interesting idea for a ghost Luke moment/dialogue at Leia’s death, new footage courtesy of Jonh

Has anyone considered the flipside for RotS/Rogue One? Adding a little burned forest to the landscapes?
I felt like that was played with a long time ago but one of the big issues was color matching the shot … I mean, if someone could match the coloring perfect, that could work.
But the issue I can possibly see is is it a bit to “edity” to take a shot from another SW movie and reinsert it? Not sure how I stand on that topic, but it is something to consider maybe?
That’d be amazing but can’t see it happening.
As for the Vader castle shot, Hal, if you send me the shot and the castle still image (if you have it!) I can put it in my queue, but again, this may be a case of me kind of disappearing for another couple of months! So if anyone else gets to it first, by all means!

Someone suggested adding in Vader’s castle in the Mustafar sequence earlier. Do you plan on doing so?
It’s a change that will happen evantually its just a matter of time like the Coruscant planetary shot.
Yeah a light leak would really sell the shot for me, but I’m happy with how it is now.
Would have been interesting to hear Palpatine say “More than a clone less than a man” just not seen any adequate edits of that yet, most of the ones I’ve seen need work but would like to see it included some how,
also would have been cool if palpatine said “Nothing will stop the revenge of the sith”
It’s a shame no one has been able to make use of his edit created by Jonh, Luke Meditating in what looks like The World Between Worlds, maybe it fits in a vision.

Theres light being cast on The First Order Star Destroyer on right side of the front, perhaps a sun/light source could be added casting down on it to make it look more natural.

Hey everyone,
I finally had a little free time and was able to make an effort to add Coruscant into the board room meeting scene!
https://vimeo.com/494722697
pw: faneditThe new FX shots are at :06, 1:23, and 1:25. There’s no audio because the clip I had to work from didn’t have audio, but I can add that later!
Thank the maker! Hope you had a merry Life Day Poppa,
“We believe in you Poe” line, felt very fan edity for me
It was cool to see and it must’ve been a big project for him to put together, but I don’t think there’s anything new I would actually wish to see folded into the film itself.
jonh’s work is sublime in its subtlety and fits better for this project, which it was meant for and this other thing was not.
Only thing I think could be implemented is a couple shots, like the Nien Numb explosion, since alot of people didn’t realise he died.
The crackle this time around almost seems too subtle, it’s really easy to miss.
Yeah I really can’t see the crackle
Sorry, couldn’t help myself!
If anyone is interested in what it would look like, here’s a quick mockup with some stock footage!
If done well this could be really great, probably best not for this edit with all the changes already not made.
That looks crazy, but the use of Anakin/deepfake seems abit cringe worthy, need to see the whole thing first.
Coruscant Planetary / Vader’s Castle is something I really wanna see.
Hopefully theres a way to get “More than a clone, less than a man” in without it seeming rough / weird.
I think the next workprint should be held off until theres quite a few more of the changes planned ARE implemented, great start with the crackling saber, happy to see things slowly lifting off again.
That Kylo/Palpatine interaction is interesting but I think it needs fixing if it makes its way into this edit.
