I have a few suggestions, sorry if others have already mentioned them.

• Reduce Lando’s excessive laugh at the final battle
• Remove Finn’s line “You did it Lando! You did it!”
• Change super happy music when the thousands of ships arrive. It should be more inspirational and maybe triumphant. (not sure if that’s the word I am after)
• Remove Chewie getting the medal (this was only inserted as fan service, Chewie would probably have forgotten about this and they could easily add him getting a medal in A New Hope like Adywan did).
• Reduce the clip of Palpatine burning from the deflected force lightning (doesn’t suit a SW movie IMO)
• consider adding “Across the Stars” to when Kylo and Rey kiss
• slow down ben falling back after the kiss so it looks like Rey is helping him

I have so many but I’m thinking of doing an edit of this one day myself. Can’t give you all of my secrets. 😛

He says he’s going to hire someone to do a Mark Hamill impersonation. It should be, uh…interesting.

The person in question has now refused to work with Ivan.
This is quite a regular occurrence with Ivan.
He doesn’t seem to get anything finished aside from small touches to single scenes and he dedicates more time to asking for help and funding than he does actually producing any finished work. He’s more interested in promoting himself as an editor than he is in editing.

Proof?

OK, so you are suggesting altering the entire frame rather than just Han himself?

It seems like, the presence of Han aside, he really is in that place. A fly on the wall would still see Ben saying those things and making those motions.

Regardless, I don’t imagine such a thing being an improvement. I like it the way it is without some sort of effect applied.

If you were to go that route, you could do something like Neverar did and have some kind of filter on the scene to have a “dream-like” feel to it. It does not have to be super strong, something subtle could be done maybe?

Hal 9000 said:

I don’t have a problem with it at all. Force ghosts look bluish, glowy, and translucent. Han looks like how Ben remembers him. The scene plays out without some sort of distracting visual cue. I don’t know what one could even do that wouldn’t be inferred by some that he is a literal ghost.

I’m not saying Han should look like a ghost; I’m referring to the shots being edited so it could look like Kylo is having a hallucination rather than actually seeing Han in person.

@Hal 9000 Here is a suggestion: can you re-edit the scene between Han and Kylo on the Death Star wreckage so people can tell that Han is obviously a hallucination and not actually alive?

I need to rewatch this one, but I’m beginning to feel this is the best of the sequel trilogy. I have issues with the film, but I don’t hate it.

To me, I feel like I have the same opinion. The Force Awakens destroyed every single accomplishment in Return of the Jedi, copied the original 1977 movie, and undid Han Solo’s character growth. The Rise of Skywalker not only destroys the meaning of Anakin’s redemption and sacrifice, but also undermines this entire franchise.

The Last Jedi is awful, yes, but at least it tried to continue the story that was told in The Force Awakens, albeit badly. Thus, I consider The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker to be worse movies than The Last Jedi.

TLJ destroys Luke. So i guess they all work together against the OT characters. And for the record I never felt TFA destroyed Hans Solo, he was pretty much the Hans we knew and loved from the originals. He was a scoundrel, not really boyfriend material… And neither was Leia.

I’ve never understood this perspective that TLJ destroys Luke. He makes a mistake, overcomes it, and has a heroic death. He’s humanized, and still gets to be badass at the end.

The problem is that he had repeated the same mistake he had committed before: considering the cold-blooded murder of one of his family members. It undermines and undoes his entire arc of overcoming darkness in Return of the Jedi. When Luke attacks Vader, he realizes his mistake and throws away his lightsaber in front of the Emperor, promising that he will never turn to the dark side.

The point of him realizing his mistake and promising to never turn to the dark side was to show that he has matured as a person, to better face and overcome the darkness in the galaxy and within himself.

Crawl ideas?

Here’s my new crawl test.

*The GALACTIC EMPIRE has begun the construction of a new, dreadful space station, even more
powerful than the first Death Star. The Rebel Alliance struggles to survive.

With the support of his allies, Luke Skywalker has returned to TATOOINE, hoping to free his friend
Han Solo from the clutches of the vile gangster Jabba The Hutt

Meanwhile, EMPEROR PALPATINE travels to the Endor system to overlook the construction and master a
new plan to spell certain doom for the Alliance…*

Please, tell me what you think about it and what you’d change.

You forgot to put a period after “Hutt”.

Honestly, I don’t like the whole “Jedi evaporate when they die” concept to begin with. Really, what’s the point of it? Judging by Anakin’s still-present-to-be-roasted-corpse in ROTJ, it’s not a necessary step for post-mortem existence. Is it to spare the bereaved funeral costs? Ridiculous.

Here’s further changes I’d make: When Vader slices Ben, his body’s bisected in gruesome fashion; when Yoda dies, Luke buries him.

To make Star Wars more kid-friendly.

If Luke could see the good in Darth Vader and redeem him, why didn’t he do the same with more bad guys, like the Emperor, Snoke, Jabba the Hutt, etc.?

If the ending of the broom boy scene is removed does this now mean the scene of Finn and Rose in Canto Bight where we see broom boy being whipped is now obsolete?

This was only added in poppa V2 edit to give more context to broom boy. If the broom boy is removed at the end at the movie then the scene is pointless. The scene does give a bit more background on Rose backstory so maybe broom boy could be removed it possible.

Why not move it to the end of The Rise of Skywalker, where… (massive spoilers ahead!!!)

… we see the montage of First Order Star Destroyers being destroyed across the galaxy? Simple, just insert a destroyed Star Destroyer into the shot of the boy looking at the night sky.

Wrong discussion category.

I have an idea for an upcoming edit of The Last Jedi. The final paragraph in the opening crawl mentions that Snoke has sent Kylo to obtain a wayfinder that will lead him to “a dark presence” that he must destroy as part of his training mentioned at the end of The Force Awakens.

We open with Kylo raiding Mustafar and obtaining the wayfinder before heading to Exegol, where he meets Darth Sidious and learns that Snoke was his creation (Kylo doesn’t mention that he killed Snoke, since he isn’t dead yet). We don’t get the shot of the Star Destroyers rising from the ground or the part where Sidious orders Kylo to kill Rey. After Sidious tells Kylo that Rey is not who he expects, we immediately cut to the opening Resistance evacuation scene on the ground.

We don’t get the first throne room scene with Kylo and Snoke, since it will be confusing if you have the scene with Kylo and Sidious play in the beginning while having Snoke berate Kylo for his failure to get Rey. Since we don’t get the first throne room scene with Snoke and Kylo, we remove the “Where’s Han?” scene (since it will be jarring if we cut from “Where’s Han?” to Rey explaining to Luke about the current situation) and it is now replaced with the deleted scene of Luke mourning Han before we cut to Leia in hyperspace.

Do you have the Blu-Ray?

I plan to eventually edit all three prequels.

Do you plan on editing the sequel trilogy?

Anjohan said:

V2 will also see the final release of my edits

Since that’s the case… remove the “oh no” line in the opening Resistance evacuation scene and it’s perfect.

Why is the picture quality a little blurry?

darkshadowspike said:

I HATE, (HATE!) rey being a palpatine, but is an important part of the canon now ( the same as lightspeed skipping) and it will be referenced from here on out in other star wars media, so i will prefer for them to stay.

To be fair Hal 9000 has Padmé survive in his edit for Revenge of the Sith and yet it contradicts canon

Here is my personal Star Wars canon:

• Knights of the Old Republic games
• My rewrites of Episodes I, II, and III
• Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
• Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
• A New Hope: Revisited (but without the part where Obi-Wan refers to a lightsaber as “the weapon of a Jedi knight”)
• The Empire Strikes Back: Revisited
• Return of the Jedi: Revisited (but without the part where the Emperor refers to a lightsaber as “a Jedi’s weapon”)
• My rewrites of Episodes VII, VIII, and IX

(Haven’t seen The Mandalorian yet)

Add other force ghosts to the Luke/Leia shot like Anakin and Obi Wan.

With the exception of Ben, I don’t really get this suggestion. Anakin, Yoda and Obi-Wan have no meaning or significance to Rey. They did to Luke, but we already got that scene at the end of Return of the Jedi.

What I think a lot of fans don’t want to accept (and to be honest, I don’t think Abrams and Terrio wanted to accept this either) is that the OT characters are not the main characters of these new movies. The protagonists are the new characters: Rey, Ben, Finn, Poe, and Rose. Any OT or PT characters should be there to support their character development, not to steal the spotlight.

Obi Wan has significance to Rey. Anakin has significance to Ben Solo, who would be there in this version. The thought of ending the “Skywalker Saga” without at least Anakin having some importance seems off to me.

Exactly. Everything, and I mean everything, hinges around this character and how he affected the entire galaxy.

“You must unlearn what you have learned.” It wasn’t the story of Anakin until the prequels reframed the saga. The ST has simply reframed the saga again.

I’m referring to the events within this saga, not the franchise itself.

But it’s the very last installment in this franchise, and the last time we got to actually see Anakin and/or Obi-Wan was in Return of the Jedi. Are you sure we should not get to see Anakin, Obi-Wan or Yoda in the very last scene of this entire franchise?

I have an idea for a future sequel trilogy edit: we don’t see Luke die at all in The Last Jedi, and we don’t really know whether he is alive or not until Rey has a pep talk with his Force ghost on Ahch-To in The Rise of Skywalker.

Ma klounkee.

Merry Christmas! As you guys know, I’ve been working on the original Tatooine matte painting for a while. Here you can watch the results of my work! Also - I decided to keep the original timing, so Tantive IV will no longer fly with a camera movement 😃

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP5NAHPJDeo&feature=youtu.be

(edit) It may not look that good because of the YouTube compression.

@Petrovelly Do you plan on updating the alternate angle shot of the Star Destroyer chasing down the Tantive IV that takes place after the first one?

Does anyone have a link to the DNR version of 4K77 that I can get?
