Well put. I think it’d be very hard not to come across as clumsy.

Hal, have you considered having Luke speak to Ben during the Mustafar Opening or when he is repairing his mask? Maybe just a quick line like “Ben”, but something just to be consistent with Luke’s last words in TLJ of “see you around kid”.

Any thoughts?

I really, really like that! I think it works incredibly well! I also think that Luke shouting “Ben!” when he turns his head on Mustafar would be a good idea, but this is fantastic!

I don’t think it works, but I would’ve liked Luke to haunt Ben more than he seems to have.

Would be nice to replace the music when Knights Of Ren arrive in this clip with something more memorable/interesting, theres currently just a generic random theme thats only in TROS that I wasn’t much of a fan of.

I don’t think it’s needed. I like what’s there just fine.

Yeah, since there’s no last word of the sentence to accentuate. And now it feels more effective when we do see him talk to say, “Everything.”

Yeah, here we go!

We’d floated the idea of Corellia, and that’d be my pick for an extra-saga planet. But I think it’s better to keep it in-story.

Unrelated: it might do for someone to simply keep Palpatine’s face in the dark (remove flashes of lightning) until the line “as all the Sith live in me” finishes. I may be able to myself without any FX needed, so I’ll give it a try if I am able to sit down (again, that’s kneel) at the computer later.

Ewoks glow in the dark.

How I thought it would feel nearing the very end of the ‘9000 Saga’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=248ggPoK158&t=12s

So… you’re disappointed that work on this edit may never truly end?

No, just that it’s more melancholy than triumphant.

When Chewie tosses the Imperial from the top of the AT-ST during the Battle of Endor, the guy’s head and body have separate trajectories, each trailed by blood.

Has anyone considered Tatooine replacing the Jakku shot?

We’re about to go there anyway, and it’d be good to have a ST planet in there, too. Ideally, it’d be Kijimi, but there’s no footage to use.

To be fair, the Coruscant shot has the aftermath of a ‘Holdo maneuver,’ which is why it appears almost static as opposed to the other shots with falling destroyers.

I tried to improve the Naboo shot: https://vimeo.com/445910295

Looked at it a second time. I don’t think anyone would’ve had a problem with it if it were onscreen in the cinema.

Well once everything mapped out is completed and ready, I’ll move on it. Things may come up before then, and that’s fine. I know this edit won’t feature every good idea that will eventually emerge, but it’ll be a good starting point for anyone to carry forward.

Who knows? It’ll probably be close to December anyway.

To reiterate: I’m not planning to rush or skimp. Just smelling the retirement home.

Congratulations! It’s a weird time to be starting a new job, so best of luck.

It’s certainly promising. It still feel like it needs a bigger sense of scale by slowing down its movement and the speed of the smoke. I wonder how fast it’d have to be moving to have that apparent speed from the planet’s surface. I do like it a great deal, though.

I’m ready to be done with all of this. I’m committed to finishing this out, including a Nobody cut, but I’m so ready to let this whole thing be finished.

Okay cool. I was still waiting on a couple of revisions to be submitted for the Knights of Ren audio, but I’ll go ahead and get a Google Drive folder made with the current sound pack. I’ll get it to you in the next day or two.

No need to hurry! It will not be the last thing I’ll end up waiting for. I would not say I’m impatient, just looking forward to being able to set it all down.

‘Yub Nub’ version going up now.

It’s what Plinkett called them.

There may not be any suitable lines from ST Luke to use to haunt Kylo.

Mark Hamill’s Joker, on the other hand…

“I’m a pilot, y’know, and someday I’m gonna fly away from this place.”

He “sort of” tells Ben, “you killed him,” during the mask vision. I don’t have any plans, but I’d be open to it if anyone has any ideas.

There’s not much in his only dialogue-having ST deleted scene.

“Will you be here next month?”

“Sorry, you just ran so fast!”

With help from Sir Ridley, we overlaid a subtle Emperor’s theme to the Imperial March as we first see the helmet in TFA.

For my ‘Yub Nub’ version of my ROTJ project, there are two entire scenes sourced from 4K83. I found that gradually fading in some film grain and/or gradually fading it out afterward to be useful. They’re just too different. However, if I were ducking between sources very often I imagine a layer of new grain over all UHD footage would be necessary.
