Oof too real. Don’t give people ideas.

Nah I was mostly referring to everybody else’s discussion about this Lando audio. It sounds great, but I’m not sure the end of this movie is the right context for it since they technically aren’t going up against the First Order.

The truth is it literally does not matter.

I wonder if there’s some additional Lando dialogue that could beef it up. As is he says like two things. Depending on how one would integrate it that might be fine, or it might feel really short.

Hey now, I’ve been suggesting this for a while.

I hope they put out more Biomes stuff. That’d be the ideal footage to use for the kind of montage we’re talking about.

Sounds pretty legit. I would say he probably sounds too distorted, but I assume this is necessary to cover things up. If at all possible to tone it down though that’d be my note.

Keep in mind there’s a couple shots of Lando in hyperspace from the trailer too.

Yeah I see. Took a look at the original and definitely does speed up at the point it swings around the castle. Would it be possible to slow down a bit to even it out or would that fuck up the tracking and all that? Wouldn’t want to make more work for you (and I might be the only one this bothers). As well I suppose if we only use that moment then its faster speed wouldn’t even be noticed.

Here’s the establishing shot replacing all three of the previous shots.

I ramped the speed another 25% or so, and keyframed the vertical movement to play with the extra space and make it more dynamic. The only thing that’s missing are the TIE fighters.

If we wanted to keep the final TIE forest shot, it might work to just cut the first part of the castle shot and shift it to make room.

This is quite good, very nice work. My issue here is with the speed ramp and the digital tilt. The movement speed isn’t as consistent as I might like and there are a couple moments that feel too fast, first being the tilt which could use just a little ease and then the ramp which feels too fast when it swings around the castle (not sure if you sped up more here or if the footage just does already). I wonder if honing in on a specific portion of the footage might work better with a more even pace of movement.

Or maybe just the simplest thing would be to put out a version with the even paced movement and the full frame and then Hal and others can pick which portion of the footage they want to incorporate (whether as one shot, two shot, or three or whatever).

Who was it that did the little purple/blue flash in the saber? Is that available to grab?

Also, sherlockpotter, did you stitch the very end of the “I am all the Sith” shot onto the end of “no match for the power in me”? If so, bravo, because I can’t tell unless I’m reverse engineering it. lol

All credit where it’s due: sade1212 is the one who did the incredible work restructuring Palp’s dialogue; I just stapled my line onto the end.

On that note, how do people think this version sounds? Like Hal said before, this line especially has to be pretty much perfect: https://streamable.com/mdw8w1

Oh, and I also nudged the timing of, and added a wee little exhale after, Rey’s “I…” to fill in the gap a bit (from removing “And-”), but that can go if people don’t like it.

In the interest of making the changes to the finale as perfect as possible, I just want to double check if anyone has any issues with the demo I shared here? If no one mentions anything, I’ll assume it’s good enough and I’ll send the audio to Hal.

Just want to make sure people had the chance to see this and weigh in with any potential criticisms, given how quickly this thread moves!

I know there’s not a lot of space to work with, but my only note would be a slight tad more of a gap before “a scavenger girl…” If not really feasible, I’d say this works just fine.

Slow clap, finger guns, air horn, etc

It should be possible to have Dooku and Sidious meet on Exegol at the end of an AOTC edit. This would enhance continuity with the ST.

I actually really like this idea. Was just wondering if there was a way to incorporate Exegol into the PT in some shape. Would be hard to do but cool to see.

A Work-in-progress on color correcting and forest-ing the Vader Castle shot:

Obviously the lights of the castle will be darkened.

As far as the shot length, I’ve sped it up 1000% (10X speed) and that’s still not enough to simply replace the castle from the original 3 shot establishing sequence. I don’t want to speed it up more since the smoke and fog looks odd (and I’ll have to re-track a slower version of the lavafall regardless), so I’m thinking that it might be possible to use this one shot to replace all three.

Thoughts?

Oh I’ve been thinking since biomes came out that a one shot solution would be ideal. Great work!

Nowadays if you released ANH a lot of crusty nerds would complain up and down about his piloting ability coming out of nowhere. But the truth is sometimes those details don’t need to be explained in exhausting detail. People can roll with a lot if a film is easy and breezy.

I just did a very quick and dirty color correction, zapping out all the color in the dirt and darkening it. Wouldn’t be very easy to do in motion no but you don’t actually see the ground that often so hypothetically it might not be that difficult. Probably not something I have the time for (or really the skills if I’m being honest) unfortunately.

I think that plus a couple streams of lava is what’s really needed to make the Mustafar of it all completely buyable. Until then it’s kind of just compromises (ones I can live with, but still).

Speaking of Mustafar, anyone ever tried to do something like this?

screamfan1234 said:

Anyone think speeding up and also reversing the Biomes shot be an option so it starts with a flyover of the castle and ends with the flyby or do you think reversing the footage would just make the tie’s flight look a bit weird?

Issue with reversing is it’ll be obvious because of the smoke and ash.

Do your knees hurt from carrying the whole project on your back?

It’s actually a much better moment than the ROTJ one.

I slotted it in, realized it was gonna be a lot of work, and said to myself “eh someday I’ll get around to it.” The Kylo dialogue is surprisingly hard to get right, 70% of the work on my edit has been that and it still sounds bad, haha. Would love if someone else could do it honestly.

I will say I was trying briefly to recreate whatever he did and it was not obvious (need to check again).

Personally I could live with the ship similarity. It’s the line changes that concern me. Would definitely be interested in taking a look at your edit.

Dom, I’m really looking forward to your Rey Nobody edit. Would you use idir_
hh’s idea of Rey being the one who killed her parents or do you already have something else in mind?

I remember that idea being floated and I’m a fan of it. I don’t recall if the details to make it work ever got properly ironed out? If so I must have missed them. Personally I couldn’t find a way to crack it. As is in my edit Palpatine still kills her parents, but here the reason given is because he supposedly saw that Rey would kill him and take the throne.
