The Rise of Skywalker: Revived - A hypothetical edit (WIP)
Time

Ah, and that tv spot appears to simply edit in “Skywalker” from the line I was thinking of. Should be able to do it yourself better than pulling in audio from the tv spot itself.

And for color correction. If you apply skenera’s Exegol LUT at 60% for those scenes and the general LUT at about 90% for the rest, it should be pretty close.

Whoo, the dreaded commentary track has been recorded. lol

There was so much in this edit to comment on, and I know so many moments went by without mention. My thoughts weren’t always coherent and I didn’t have as much to say about the movie and story itself as with past installments.

Thank you all so much for coming out of nowhere to produce a jawdropping fan edit. This was the fan edit that almost wasn’t, making it all the more impressive to have done so much with it. It’s been a privilege to compile and execute. I wish I could gather us together with a rented theater and a round of PTO for everyone to spend nine days watching the whole saga.

You guys are incredible. Thank you for everything. It’s meant more to me than you might think.

Just recorded the first half of my commentary track. I’ll record the rest another night.

It’s not going to be the best of the bunch, but it’ll exist!

And when the civilian fleet arrives I’m going to be quiet and edit in the audio with original audio tracks brought way down and added voices balanced out so that everyone can have a fair chance to hear as much of the contributed voices as possible. Anyone who contributed is technically in the movie, even if inaudible.

Well, I don’t think moving that shot to buffer the transition before the heroes run toward the trooper and meet Lando works due to the music playing. It’d be hairy, and so I think what’s there at present is our best bet here. No sync adjustment needed.

I tweaked some other audio stuff: made Rey’s line about the mask slightly louder, the KoR lines in the desert a little quieter, and added more of a ‘telephone’ filter to RogueLeader’s trooper lines.

The ‘Custom Special Edition’ That Almost Wasn’t, But Then Was (Released)
Time

The problem is that both make use of quite a bit of work that was done on the 2011 masters. (Clips from Revisited, DeEd, FX done for this project, etc.) Those clips would have to be adjusted to fit with the new masters. It’d just have to be a whole new project, and there’d been to much already done. See what Ridley did with the Falcon scene in ANH, for one thing.

As long as all three feel consistent enough, I’m happy with them as the SE option when I wand that. And I love what’s being done to restore the OOT from these new masters when I prefer to watch that.
