I’ll probably futz with it a little more at least to make sure, but I agree it’s fine.

It’s too bad there’s not a shot early on that takes a slow second to just let us see the saber ignited. There would have been if the blade were different than it had been in prior movies.

I like them both and am perfectly happy with whichever kewlfish cares to turn in.

None of them were pink OR had a bow.

Replace Anakin’s force ghost with this hockey player named Hayden Shaw.

It’ll take at least a week to encode and get ready, but I’m preparing a ‘Yub Nub’ version of ROTJ. I’d hate to end up regretting not doing so while I’m still able.

Hal, Are there any updates regarding the Palpatine message scene? Has the final version been decided on?

Haven’t done anything with it since the last clip.

The real reason for the Naboo shot is to be able not to have to chop up the music and shorten the sequence. People have provided insight and critiques of what snooker was able to do so far, though she has since expressed a desire to leave the forum for at least a while. So, now I am uncertain if it will be worked on further.

I think the training course Rey runs is supposed to be the same setting in the Luke and Leia flashback.

And the castle idea is not necessary, but to add a faint silhouette over Kylo’s shoulder of the castle in the distance as he retrieves the Wayfinder.

I saw that snooker had posted recently in the ‘going away’ thread, so it’s possibly she may be gone for some time. This leaves us with a slight problem related to the Naboo shot. I don’t know if anyone else with the skill would want to try to improve upon it. It may be good enough as is, even if able to be picked apart in some ways. If so I can send the raw clip that she sent me.

Okaaaaaay guys

It seems like a more subtle affect like you guys describe would be perhaps to settle. I personally don’t have any problem at all with what he’s done so far.

Kewlfish, I can’t seem to make anything of the clip you posted of Rey’s training sequence. It appears to be in a codec none of my tools can process. Any ideas, or could you perhaps export to ProRes?

Here’s a clip anway, with my audio but no visual changes yet. The effect isn’t super audible very often, nor should it be. https://vimeo.com/442788429

I regret to hear that, too, snooker, but I can’t say I blame you. I hope it doesn’t have anything to do with criticism from my thread of the recent work you’d done for TROS:A.

Unrelated: I currently have 7102 posts, amassed over the course of nearly 17 years. At the average rate, I’d reach 9000 in 2024. Perhaps that would be the right moment to step away. Hard to say.

I guess I hadn’t said so yet, but thank you for compiling all of that into a mammoth post. It was great to flip through. I didn’t realize both my prequel edit projects had threads started on June 26th, so that’s fun.

That was ADigitalMan. He modified the ending to comport with his Ep3 edit, in which Shaak Ti was also abducted by Grievous and is killed onscreen in Ep3.

That’s a very Tolkienian perspective on the subject, and I like it. We don’t need to be canon fundamentalists, just participating in an effort to stitch together works that are hypothetically, or in the case of SW, truly, composed by different authors.

The ‘friendship’ theme is wonderful.

I’ll try to post a clip if I get the chance tomorrow during the day!

I was gonna type something but had my hands full so just quoted myself. But I think it works fine to just use the contents of the clip itself.

I don’t think it’s needed, anyway. Seems like, “The day of victory is at hand… the day of the Sith,” works just fine, given that it’s a short set of footage to work with.

I won’t know how it would sound until I mock it up, but I imagine this being a possible way to extend the scene slightly:

“I have waited a long time for this moment… the day of revenge… the day of the Sith.”
