What do you intend to do with the final shot? No sun(s)set?

Next they will have Vader discover his father was a drunk who sold him for drinking money and his mom lied the whole time.

I’ve checked out of the EU surrounding TROS. I don’t care to take it into account.

I wonder if there’s a tie-in possibility somehow with that weird voice he used for one scene in ROTS.

Consider me skeptical of this one, but “I’d like to see you try.”

For yucks, I wonder what an AI trained on CGI Tarkin in Rogue One would do with him in ANH.

Seems like the bodily return of Palpatine and Sith spirit transfer is redundant. Palpatine was brought back for marketing, rather than story, reasons.

Blasphemy time! I can’t seem to get into the classic series so I’d be okay with readapting their best stories to Big Finish.

Anyway, to get back on topic, make Luke’s hair blue or something.

Suffice it to say for the quick moment that my style and this project’s aim is to steer toward these simple, elegant changes rather than more drastic ones.

Sherlock, I 100% want to see your fan edit of TROS(:A) as well, and that ain’t no jive. But I would rather deliver something with Ascendant V2 that can serve as a foundation for such things.

Obi-Wan lops off Ponda Baba’s head in the cantina, or slices him in half vertically.

Deepfake AotC Palpatine onto RotS Palpatine to fix his inconsistent age.

Gööd!

I agree, although stepping into the throne has been built to as a dreaded reality.

“Oh no, how could I ever do that?”

“Oh shit, dat’s how.”

Yeah, I think in the story of Ascendant, Kylo has a clearer idea of the spirit transfer angle than Rey. In the theatrical, yeah, Rey should say, “But you’ll just overwrite me.” Here she may plausibly believe that stepping onto the dreaded Sith throne may be the only way to take control.

It’s not great, but I think we’re already a good step in a better direction from the theatrical, thanks to RogueLeader.

I think the shoot has improved …
What is your opinion?

Fantastic! The only thing that ever bothered me about the original was how it clearly looked taken straight out of ROTS, but this is a huge improvement.

1000%. Big improvement to something already perfect. Let me know when you have the ‘phantom four’ with purple saber how you’re happy with it.

PMs sent

Oooh, yes. Subtle enough that in the moment Rey herself plausibly may not have even noticed.

^ Sherlock, that’s nice! I’ll use it. 😃

And Dat_SW_boi, that’s pretty darn cool! I think it’s better kept subtle like that, and not blasting Finn, like it’s a Force push that happened to have a lightning rosebud eek out.

Sometimes I feel like a relic about this stuff anymore. My prequel edits didn’t do all that much that was truly original, just ‘Brothers Grimm’ing a textual lineage of edits that came before.

It’s an ongoing conversation and process.

There will come a point when I will say, “I will fan edit no longer,” and call after you, “Save the [film in question], save the dream.”

Removing the echoey screams of Rey and her mother as Rey picks up the dagger in Kylo’s chambers is tricker than you might think, but I got it.
I had to lift the rear channels from when she first picks it up underground (same musical sting) and apply them to the rear and front channels and milk about a second’s worth of clean audio from earlier in the scene of the empty ambience of Kylo’s chamber. I moved the Sith whisper to cover the gap and added a fainter one when she first handles the blade.

It’s exactly what you’d want. It truly strikes a glorious middle ground between the original and SE.

I eagerly look forward to lifting this for my own project. It’s sublime.

We even tried to repurpose the Kijimi explosion but it didn’t work out.

lol, just take anything you like about Ascendant and make your own blend. That’s part of the beauty of SW edits in particular.

I see, and lightning cracklin betwixt her fingers could be effective. I have had to sweep through a few pages of this thread and read it as using a lightning bolt to blast Finn backward.

Gorgeous.

Yeah, I see no reason to add a hand. lol

And I hate to be a wet blanket, but Rey using lightning on Finn doesn’t strike me as feeling right for that moment. It could’ve been scripted that way, but with what we have to work with Finn still flies backward and Rey doesn’t blink about any of it.

Luke is silent throughout TROS. He appears to Rey, silently encouraging her to work through her own problems.

Now deepfake ROTJ jabba onto ANHSE.

And we can age his face for the rest of the movie!
