Hal 9000

Yes. There’s also be it’s appearance in several shots during the infamous hangar scene.

Sure, I can do that!
I think there’s also at least one shot of Ren’s TIE descending toward Kijimi that would also need to be tweaked.

My answer would be: Whatever is easiest to change!

Yeah. Without looking, I’m hearing that there’s a colored stripe. Yeah, there’s no reason to work any harder than to change its color.

Again, I don’t ask for this but I’ll include it if anyone does want to.

I’m very curious Hal - outside of the remaining edits being done, is there anything in the movie you’ve wanted to change or enhance that has yet to be discussed?

I’ve always felt like a slow, meticulous thinker. And with my life being busy the last year especially, I don’t feel like I’ve afforded TROS the same sort of care that I had to the others. I’ve wound up in an executive-type role.

That said, nothing pops right to mind. Hell, a lot of the changes being made would not have struck me as possible in the first place.

Watching TROS:A is going to be enough of an elevated* experience compared to the theatrical. Much more so than I imagined when creating this thread out of obligation. I’m impressed and happy with it, as you all know. I can only imagine if I could travel back in time and show myself V2 before seeing the theatrical and then present myself the cutlist of what is different.

*you know the pun is intended

There is no ‘Even Worst Ideas Thread’.

Disturbingly plausible changes. Those are my favorite.

omg lol

This sounds like a job for…

EU AUTHORS.

lol

And I am not holding my breath for any more material to work with here. If we ever do get any, great, but I am doubtful.

EDIT: Maybe add a bumper sticker?

In all seriousness, if anyone does want to visually augment the Pasaana TIE in a way that isn’t detrimental, be my guest. I don’t ask for it but I’d be open to including it.

Make Luke’s ghost in TROS green to “honor” the Irishness of Ach-To.

^ Just deepfake the old woman at the end with Palpatine’s pre-monster face.

Oh, boy, what an idea. lol, this is the level we have reached circling this movie over and over.

Makes perfect sense to say, “Prepare my ship.” Kylo does this in TLJ as well, and perhaps more times that I can’t recall. It’d probably be doable to change the line to “prepare a ship,” but it might sound too weird to be worth it.

“Prepare one of my many ships!”

I do wonder what the thought process was, or if the TIE originally wasn’t meant to be destroyed or pop up throughout the rest of the movie. It’s not impossible for him to just have multiple ships or whatever, but it is weird for the movie to present what could be read as a plot hole like that. Just kind of weird.

Did he have any more reason to take the Wayfinder to the DSII, though?

EDIT: You’re right, it’s not a big deal and certainly not relevant to Ascendant so let’s avoid cluttering this thread further.

Eh, he’s got extras. Probably a whole hangar full of 'em.
But it is weird that the Wayfinder would be on a second resort one rather than the first one. Unless he just retrieved it from the smashed first one. Did it go through two fiery destructions of TIEs? Sith engineering is robust.

Add the remains of Rey’s parents to Ochi’s ship as it is boarded by the heroes on Pasaana.

No, she isn’t yet aware of his redemption.

Or just add the offscreen sound of an old woman laughing.

Yes.

*Rey shields

It still sounds like she was mid-sentence, and got cut off. It’s not a wonderful line but it serves a purpose to set up the X-Wing. With what we have to work with I think it’s better to leave it, even if it could’ve been handled better by the filmmakers.

We’re really solving the problems of the world over here. Eternity in a grain on sand.

All this talk about colours I can’t see. 😔

Part of me envies you, specifically and only when it comes to Star Wars being discussed on this site. I swear, it’s been 17 years of the most extreme minutia. Even while I appreciate the lengths some people have gone to, most of it either goes over my head or prevents projects from getting completed.

A floating camera droid flies around capturing the Crait duel.

The effect is applied as she grabs the Wayfinder but it’s a different location anyway.
