One thing that would be very nice for V2 is more establishing shots. Maybe some of the technical gurus on here could make some shots of the Falcon or Ochi’s ship in space heading towards Kimji or Tatooine at the end of the movie.

Like how @poppa made the shot of Ochi’s ship flying away, anything that can add some breathing room. Maybe a shot of Ren’s TIE approaching Anch-To? Rey taking Luke’s X-Wing and leaving Anch-To in space? Or maybe a tease of Vader’s TIE leaving Endor?

Quick mockup of Mustafar:

The shot before Kylo needs to be cleaned and slightly extended.

Does any have the new shot of the TIEs flying towards the camera over the trees?

I know it was posted in this thread but can’t seem to find.

It could be like this:

TIEs approach Mustafar -> Poppa’s shot of TIEs and trees -> Fly over trees with castle in background (possibly extend without the TIEs to focus on the environment) -> Kylo fighting

This proposed order would allow us “the audience” to follow the TIEs down to the planet as they approach an environment similar to Kylo’s before we cut to his rampage

Agreed. I thought I remembered a mock-up shot with the castle in the background with the TIEs flying towards the camera over some burnt up trees. I liked that one shot a lot more.

I’m really looking forward to Mando on Mandalore doing Mandalorian things.

desperately trying to get forum back on topic

Let’s get to the super-nerd levels of pickiness… should Vader’s chest buttons be lit in the hallway slaughter scene? And, should his red eye lenses be toned down some?

The shot could maybe be color corrected to match better.

Let’s get back on topic!

I’d just cut out the yavin appearance and only have them in the background on the tantive iv

I’d love to see R2 and C3P0 in the Tantive hall at the end. I remember there being a whole confusing debate about them on Yavin being a continuity error. Maybe just have them to the side as the troops run by.

Is it just me or does the left side of the castle look a little off?

Thank god for my unlimited Comcast internet. “Downloading the new version of Hal’s edit” has been a common phrase in my house lately haha

If that was the case why did he scream when Vader threw him down the shaft in VI?

Here is the clip from Poppasketti’s drive:

Not to mention the thematic resonance that would add, given that this is the conclusion of the entire Skywalker Saga. As the Saga ends, so too does the Skywalker lightsaber.

Agreed. One thing I hate most about this movie is it does very little to try and end things. Take some risks! Kill some characters! Do something! Breaking the two Skywalker lightsabers takes a risk.

If it could somehow be shown that Luke and Leia’s sabers are broken after the Palpatine fight, that would make burying them and her making her own make much more sense. Maybe in the shots of Rey holding and dropping the lightsabers on the ground some sparks could be added coming out of the sabers, like Palpatine’s lightening fried them or something like that? Or even some smoke? Something to hint that they are broken.

It would be harder to do but maybe have them still ignited when she holds them and they both sizzle out on the ground?

That would be hard to do as half of their banter is involving broken BB-8

Don’t forget Luke’s haircut!

Do you have the most recent version of the edit? Because those are in it.

I believe I suggested the idea as well awhile back. I can’t watch that scene without thinking of that missed opportunity. I’d love to see it if some wizard could possibly whip it up.

All credit to you if you posted it first lol. Either way I like the way ya think!

That was me that suggested the idea haha. Love the mockup 😃

Here’s an attempt using that reading of “a”:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xQZgJAc1umsYUKpgjEEc8DcrBCXnZsrg/view?usp=sharing

Would this be considered for V2?

Replacing Rey’s line:
“And I… I’m all the Jedi”
with
“And I… I’m a Jedi”

That would be a good addition for this edit to have.

Could Finn’s “you gotta boyfriend? a cute boyfriend?” be removed? A Rey/Finn romance is never established in the ST and it feels out of place. Plus it always felt kinda odd for Finn to be concerned about that during that moment.
