I liked that part in theaters…

Generally agree about the time lock tied in with the beacon.
However.
They have 70 bajillion souped up Star Destroyers hanging out there.
You destroy the beacon…um…they build another one. Or two. Just to be safe.
Unless they’re out of building resouces from crafting 70 bajillion souped up Star Destroyers.

That’s a plot hole written by JJ Abrams and Chris Terrio… luckily Palpatine explodes or something and all the ships blow up too? It’s kinda unclear… They do blow up a few by destroying the canons, but the majority just… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

They get stuck without the navigation signal from the capital ship.

What I had read the scene as was Leia contacts Ben through the force, Rey sees Kylo is distracted and stabs him, not realizing that Leia is connected with him, so Leia dies from the wound. Honestly, I think the order of scenes the movie gave us makes the most sense for that interpretation.

I think this is the wrong thread for this.

If you’re capable of this, I’d love to see what you could do with the battle of Exegol. It was visually crowded and way too short, so any extra shots would be beneficial.

Does anyone know of a shot of Rey’s hand (or a similar-looking hand) reaching out in a take-my-hand gesture? There’s one from TFA when she helps Finn off the ground, but that’s really brief and shaky.

Or you haven’t agonized over making it sound good! lol

But yeah, that’s right. Maybe even a half second of that first note from elsewhere could sound all right. I have no idea; maybe I’ll just need to give it a shot when I can.

The song “Dark Knight” off Josh Aker’s soundtrack to the video game “Infinity Blade” starts with the exact same two notes on what sounds like the same instrument.

Is it possible to change around the voices Rey hears? It’s frustrating that she hears voices of Jedi who couldn’t preserve themselves past physical death. Keep the voices of Qui-Gon, Kenobi, Yoda, Anakin, and Luke- cut the rest? The gaps might be awkward so other lines from those characters could fill in.

You know there’s a designated Redux ideas thread, right? You don’t need to make everything Hal’s responsibility.

Star Wars is a famously massive, expansive universe taking place across multiple eras and every corner of the galaxy. And yet, practically every new thing to come out of the series (at least, every new movie) since Return of the Jedi has been criticized, to some extent, for feeling repetitive. Lately, I’ve been wondering: What if the writers of the original trilogy had somehow had access to the entire canon (Disney and Legends continuities) to draw from for ideas? And, for the sake of the thought experiment, been given unlimited time, money, and technology as well?
How might the trilogy have gone differently?

Is there any good lines of dialogue from Dooku or Maul in any of the games? Especially Maul. Would even love to add grunts, growls, and hard breathing to maul and his fight with the Jedi to help to show his intensity. I like the idea of the contrast, especially with him pacing in front of the Jedi behind the shield, it fits him i think.

In Battlefront 2, Dooku has the line “The Count of Serreno, at your service.” which I think would be good to add somewhere so that “Count” doesn’t just seem like a meaningless title.

Ill have to try and find that

I’ll make it easier:

Yeah, that’s actually good.

Thanks. It’s all the more reason why I’d support a fanedit where Qui-Gon (and maybe Dooku) is the only Jedi with a green blade. It gives Luke’s green blade some added significance, in representing a “fulfillment” of Qui-Gon’s goals.

Same. Giving all the Jedi both blue AND green in the Prequels was just bizarre and confusing.

Wouldn’t it be a lot more confusing if Qui-Gon was the only one?
I mean, the lore-writers bent over backwards to justify Samuel L. Jackson’s purple lightsaber, and people still call it stupid and random.

During the Exegol arrival there is no music, added music from The Last Jedi soundtrack and it really improves and increases the stakes of the scene, feels a lot more intense with this added I made sure it lined up with the shots in the scene in-terms of pacing it in correctly.

Test: https://youtu.be/l3rwZUhTP0k

Uses music from Last Jedi Soundtrack.

I like it! Also, I have no idea whether it was intentional, but I like having Kylo’s theme play just as Poe says “help is coming” because it sort of foreshadows Ben arriving to help Rey.

The 2004 movie version of Phantom of the Opera, but with the colors enhanced and the singing dubbed over.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to get the voice lines from the game without background music or SFX?

What do you mean? It affected the immediate plot by having Rey run away, foreshadowed her duel with Kylo Ren, and was mirrored when the Jedi speak to her in TROS.

I really like it, especially in comparison to the first draft.

I like cutting Hux’s suicide, but it makes the lightsaber on display feel kind of like an unused Chekov’s gun. Maybe Finn could use it some time during the battle, maybe even in place of the Resistance flag, I dunno.

[Honestly, I never liked Hux’s story to begin with. Even if it doesn’t end in suicide, the idea that a person can desperately wish they could use the force but be completely unable to do so seems really at odds with the escapist nature of the series.]

A couple of other minor things:

• I know it was there in the first draft, too, but Rose’s dialogue during the interrogation seems pretty out of character. By the end of the Last Jedi, she was all about “not fighting what we hate, saving what we love.” Even if Rose has become more battle-hardened since then, even if she’s being tortured, I feel like she should be appealing to what little common decency Hux has left, not insulting him for something he can’t control.
• There’s something off about how the Jedi speak to Rey in the world between worlds, and I think it has to do with the word choice. I can’t imagine Yoda saying “Co-exist” but that might just be because I haven’t heard it.
• I don’t know if it would make sense thematically, but I think it might be cool if, instead of “I can’t be who they need me to be” Rey said “I’m not the Jedi I should be” in a reference to Revenge of the Sith.

That’s interesting.

I imagine: Palpatine has Count Dooku contact the Sith, reveal that he’s one of them, and try to persuade them to join the confederacy since they have a common enemy in the form of the Republic.

• If they agree: the war proceeds as usual, probably taking a bit longer.
• If they disagree: Palpatine contacts the Sith as the chancellor of the Republic, and tells them that he’s one of them and that he’s already planning to wipe out the Jedi. He suggests that, instead of attacking, they come as refugees in order to increase public hatred for the Jedi.
  - If they agree: the war proceeds as usual, perhaps ending a bit faster.
  - If they disagree: The Sith, realizing that the war is staged, declare war on both the Republic and the Confederacy. Palpatine would have to completely redirect his plan, and manipulate the two factions into joining forces against the Sith army. This new crisis might still be enough to trick the galaxy into supporting the institution of a Galactic Empire, but it would be much harder to scapegoat the Jedi, so he would probably try to stop the Jedi from fighting in the war altogether. That way, because the Jedi and Sith aren’t publicly fighting one another, he can use propaganda to convince people they’re the same faction, and should all be destroyed.

Baby Yoda’s given name… is Yolo.

Replace each spaceship and vehicle with its corresponding LEGO model while leaving all the people and backgrounds live-action.
If a ship has had multiple LEGO sets made of it, then it changes between them at random.

Remove the Phantom Menace entirely, and then open Attack of the Clones with the music video for “The Saga Begins” by Weird Al before proceeding as normal.

I don’t know. Is there a way to check the sound specs of a youtube video without downloading it?

Nice!

So far, officially-licensed Star Wars materials have given us three alternate timelines, in the form of the Star Wars: Infinities series. These comics let us know what would have happened if Luke had failed to blow up the Death Star, if Luke had frozen to death on Hoth, and if C-3P0 had stopped working when the heroes needed him most.

That got me thinking, how many other interesting “What If?” scenarios can we make out of the complex Star Wars story? Eg. what if Yoda had defeated Palpatine during their duel in the Senate? What if R2 had gone straight to Ben Kenobi instead of getting captured by the Jawas? What if Luke had decided to join Vader at the end of Empire Strikes Back?

Let your mind run wild!
