Add a plot point that Jango himself was a clone of someone else.

No need for lines, because restructuring the scenes seems to work pretty well.

I do wonder if they would be sufficient material there to realistically redub general grievous. Probably not.

No, it’s now to follow Rey and Finn’s conversation. “Ren?” “…and me.”

Read about the development of early Christianity. A lot of parallels. Bob Iger is Constantine.

Here’s that shot. I included a few frames of the next for reference.

I’ll look again but I don’t see why it’s necessary to move Poe’s line. We’ll see tonight if I get another chance to take a little time for this. And I’ll send the shot.

Here’s a clip: https://vimeo.com/460414689

I will give the audio another pass, but that’s the best I could do for now. And if anyone can do a better job color correcting the brief shot of Poe flipping switches, cool.
And if anyone has a fitting clip of 3PO naming Chewbacca from outside the films, that’s be nice as well.

Use AI to give Jar Jar the voice of Peter Cushing.

I think that’ll work just fine. I spent what time I had tonight to get my timeline to reflect your clip.

If I send you a ProRes clip of the shot, could you color correct the Pasaana switches to appear greenish to match the new context? I’m like a kid with crayons trying to color correct.

I thought he meant it could be added to the briefing scene since he was able to add that there.
It was Poppasketti.

And there is a continuity error in the current workprint, because the KoR aren’t shown to follow the heroes, and they aren’t shown to have left yet, before Kylo speaks with Palpatine. If anyone has good helmeted Kylo dialogue, I can see if it would fit in there. Or, maybe it’d be fine to just have:

“Don’t betray me, blah blah, or I’ll turn my fleet against you.”

“She’ll never be a Jedi.”

“Make sure of it. Kill her.”

Any lego Kylo stuff maybe to draw from?

My condolences.

Okay, Ziggy, the logic and pacing work well. Makes sense to see the heroes decide where to go and take off before hearing Kylo say he knows their destination.

Your mock-up involves reusing a shot from earlier of Poe messing with switches. It’d either have to be reused or cut from the earlier scene. I have replaced my proxy ProRes source file with the full size, making further editing painfully slow and tedious, so I wasn’t able to do much at all tonight.

Even as I type, I had to skim through the film to remind myself that the Kylo-Palpatine conversation had been moved from heading to Endor. And it introduced a continuity error I don’t believe anyone picked up on until you did.

Perhaps the simplest fix would be to replace or remove the line, “I know where she’s going.”

Thanks! If I get to it before you, which is unlikely, I’ll try to get the sound from that moment in ESB.

I’m not going to put the trailer music into the movie.

Sorry if I gave the wrong idea, I know you’ve said that- I just wanted to share it to the other people in the thread who wanted this version since I didn’t know how else to give it to them.

I think any more discussion about trailer music belongs in the general TROS ideas thread. It’s just not gonna happen in this project.

I’m not going to put the trailer music into the movie.

One tiny thing, and I’m sure this won’t end up mattering, is that Poe says they have 8 hours, which is currently removed in this cut. I like the transition to him hitting switches, so as long as it feels valid without having that line.

Also, who has a good pre-hyperspace jump sound for the ice wall moment? I haven’t found the right one yet.

Is there an alternate source for a similar line? Maybe from the radio drama?

I have to wait until I can sit and think a minute but I think I like your proposed restructure of those scenes!

I like the idea but it could be awkward to insert him into a single-shot flashback.

Right, I can’t really break that down into a logical reason other than that it just feels wrong to me.

I don’t mean to sound dismissive, but I don’t think that that awesome trailer music feels right in the context of the movie itself at all.

Eh, I’m willing to just wait as long as ends up being needed for this angle to be worked out and put out an alternate version. I might even go for it on some viewings.

I just do the entire fan edit in my head a keep it there. It’s better because you can do things that aren’t possible. But it’s harder to upload to Google Drive.

Well, even cheap storage isn’t anything for me to laugh at these days.

I’m betting on the day after I eventually delete my master ProRes file, meaning I’d have to potentially do a lot more work to get back up and running.

Indeed. I don’t have much time or headspace to delve into this one, and probably wouldn’t really spark much, so I’m dedicated to putting out my regular TROS edit and then plugging in whatever consensus or best approach emerges from this discussion.
