Grand Admiral Thrawn

I couldn’t find it so I did it myself real quick (maybe I did this on my own originally…)

“And” being cut might be noticeable to some who are aware of the change, but I honestly believe your hypothetical first time viewer, or people who just haven’t seen the movie since release, wouldn’t even notice this change. I moved “Me” up a few frames earlier, and I think the slight shift helps sell it as well.

I like how Finn assumes it’s Ren with such conviction, only to be left not knowing what to say after Rey says it was her. I think this is the simplest way to handle it.

Cross-posting from the general thread, Hal would you consider this for a change in V2?

I would use Adywan’s twin suns from Star Wars Revisited or “the sun” that Starkiller Base drains as reference points. The Star Wars galaxy is different than ours so I think making it look consistent to what is already there should be the focus.

I played with @Dat_SW_Guy’s shot and flipped it around just so we’d have a visual how it could look, but replace the moons with the suns:

I think @Cinefy has a better approach though, but the Tatooine matte could be a little clearer.

I agree it looks and sounds great. I wonder why Hal doesn’t want to make that change?

It was supposed to jump into hyperspace at the final frames, but the animation looked extremely weird and I couldn’t get that hyperjump trail that poppasketti did.

Put together a little concept for you’re Falcon ending idea.

I think it’d look really good if it flew over briefly instead of instantly jumping to light speed would be such a great ending calling directly back to the first ever Star Wars scene

I could see that working!! Beautiful.

So excited to have those last few beats of the TFA credits song before the TROS credits kick in. Praying this comes to fruition, it would be such a bittersweet ending and not just another “copy” and “paste” of the last trilogy’s ending!

Eh, it works just fine but I think it’s good to let there be a moment like that with only diegetic changing and no score.

And while I’m open to extending the final shot(s), I’m still skeptical…

It’s an idea Hal’s open to. Until he says “NO” I think it’s fair game for discussion.

Anything to make it breathe a little. I think not ending on the suns would show we are ending somewhere different. We’re done with Tatooine and moving on. Maybe just have a blank starfield without Tatooine or the final circle in?

The Falcon flies off and the credits show on the same starfield.

Link’s not working for me DZ.

Fixed it!

I threw this together in about 30 min. VERY rough take for an extended ending but I just like the ending notes of the song from TFA way too much and I think it offers such a better transition from the end of Rey’s theme. Hopefully you like it Hal and someone with more tech than me and make it look official!

Extended Ending
PW: fanedit

So if the end of the film is extended so the musical cue can finish more naturally, what if we see the Falcon go to Hyperspace above Tatooine, and the backdrop for that new effect is the same shot of Tatooine from the very beginning of A New Hope and we circle out from there for the end credits?

Edit: Plus it would help that the Falcon does not jump to Hyperspace while still in Tatooine’s atmosphere.

Edit 2: We already have the proper clip from @Poppa so only one new shot would need to be made with Falcon effects.

I think ending the trilogy and saga on something other than a Tatooine sunset/sunrise is a win.

Sorry this thread has a whole lot of pages and I’m trying to catch up. I see in the first post that some changes have been made since v1 (like vader’s TIE). Has v2 been released? Or is it still in progress?

Still in progress.

Ngl I definitely do miss having that Palpatine line because of everything it alludes to. Influence the midichlorians to create life (Force-sensitive clones), cheating death (essence transfer).

The problem is that I also like Kylo knowing that it’s a bad idea to kill Palpatine. That threat of the power he has to possess him should be what stops Kylo from killing him.

Could the lines be swapped?

To Kylo: “I have died before. Kill me and my spirit will pass into you, as all the Sith live in me.”

To Rey: “You want to kill me, that is what I want. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. You will be Empress. We will be one.”

Would love a link!

Actually add something to Finn’s character in the movie?! WHAT?!

“Dew it!” - Palpatine

Hello!!! hahaha, personally, I prefer the PHANTOM FOUR version. I have made this version because my best friend asked me for the favor, because he liked having more Jedi !!! but I prefer the original four !!! 😃

Glad you agree! Are you able to provide us with a version of the new take but with the layers for the other ghosts turned off, and Rey with the purple saber? The updates to the existing four are great.

Also, this need to be in this edit.

EDIT: The new ghost effects for the Phantom Four.

That guy is INSANE still waiting for a Shaw version of the Phantom Four. Fingers crossed!

I believe there was a shot of the engines as well. You can cut to the exterior after the shot of Pryde, and then to the shot of the engines to imply they are on their way before it cuts back to Rey and crew.

We already used the slowmo to fit in Luke’s “We’ll always be with you.” It worked there because it was just a close-up shot of Rey. Not sure if it can work as flawlessly here. I agree with Sherlock.

What do you mean? If it’s right before Rey calls the saber to her at the climax of the film, that wasn’t retimed.

“We’ll always be with you, but this is your fight”

I think it adds more to Jannah’s character to just be ready to help right away. She OBVIOUSLY knows they are not First Order. If she’s familiar with the Resistance that’s good enough

3PO -> Horse Man™ -> Rey -> Jannah

I think “Ally” line V2 works best for this scene. CaptainFaraday’s order seems like it would flow best.

The “highly trained resistance spy” line just seems like it would fit sooooo much better on the Star Destroyer when he is being interrogated by the Trooper while wearing all of Chewie’s gear.

It could be cut to say “It appears I am a highly trained Resistance spy” which works for that moment as C-3PO still doesn’t know much and he’s assuming he is this master spy because he’s wearing Chewie’s gear.

Spy line during the dagger heist Chewie rescue.

Ally line during the scene where they make an ally

🤷‍♂️

I’ve found some more C-3PO files from the VR game that may also be useful and uploaded to the same link:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13z1OFidEJJ8LjGAjEbyvTFfEF_9Ap5t-?usp=sharing

One includes an “it appears” fragment, which I incorporated into the other line, so 3PO can now say:
“(You needn’t worry), it appears I am a highly trained resistance spy” - I think it would fit be a great fit for the scene with Jannah.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p8VMqCJQJQEdt3N5i4bJOYUt5Ec2iSDu/view?usp=sharing

I think the highly trained spy line would be better for the stormtrooper scene when he is wearing all of chewies gear

YES. Never been a fan of the current dialogue. That would have made me laugh out loud in the theater. A welcome change!

Troop: “Wait. Who are you?”

3PO: “I am a highly trained resistance spy.”

Troop: “This job is a joke."

We can’t have the blade say there are 2 Wayfinders. Because Rey doesn’t realize there are two until she is with Luke.

"The Emperor’s Wayfinder is hidden from the light.

Heir of the Sith, embrace the darkness within and this blade shall tell."

I like the idea that Palpatine planted clues for his “Heir” to find Exegol and continue what he started.
