Seems like that would imply the TIEs are acting as troop carriers, maybe?
I’m okay with the theatrical Mustafar scene, so if we end up not using an extension it’s really okay. It’ll just be a well-explored but closed off avenue. We’ll see!
Chase, I don’t think Kef Bir needs to be altered, as it looks pretty similar to Endor already, moreso maybe even than two different sides of Earth.
I’m going to use the Ochi ship shot, and I’m glad the group process got it to look as good as it is now!
Mustafar… There’s no chance of me removing the sequence, as doing so heaps on pacing problems that it can’t bear. I like the idea of buffering the opening with some more footage, and as it is it’s the same soundtrack piece we hear in the scene extended in reverse from that point. I’ve never been a gamer myself and the troops don’t appear weird to me at all, yet I keep hearing that that footage genuinely bugs a lot of you because it begs a sense I must not really have. I don’t want something dodgy as the first couple shots of the movie, so I’ll stew on this for a while longer.
I like the newest Ochi ship shot, too. If it lets the pace slow down for a second, I think it’s worth including.
Here’s an intended-as-final Mustafar sequence.
I’ll do the regular Palpatine version, and then a Nobody version once Dominic has blazed that trail at some point later.
I think the blade whispers is one of several things one would leave a first viewing maybe having missed, after all.
How do we all feel about the newer Ochi ship shot from poppasketti? I think it’s very much improved, but it may be too iffy to be included. He’s said so himself. Eh?
Ap’Lek: 6/8
Kuruk: 8/1
Ushar: 5/1
Vicrul: 8/3
It seemed to me to break up the moment too much, and too heavily imply Wicket was gonna pop up again later to help. It seemed more effective with just a short shot.

Yeah, augmenting it would be ideal. If the original painting could be grafted onto Kef Bir that’d be incredible, too. (Like just that chunk of it.)
Is that the only shot of Kef Bir from space? You could probably swap the most visible texture parts of the two moons with each other. Just need to rotoscope the Falcon.
I believe it is the only shot. If you think it would work that’d be great since the shot clearly is intended to say “See, Endor is here and then over here is this other thing.”
Make it sentient, verbal, and pissed.

Well, removing it would probably be good, but to be fair I hadn’t noticed that until you pointed it out.
I don’t think it being from TFA would matter much, but I think it’d be a little clunky.
I like the previous mock-up better, too, with the troops pouring out.
The music is extended backward from where it matches the Kylo Ren cue, so it’s totally authentic. I’m glad natm and the rest of you guys suggested it because I wouldn’t have realized that.
Wow, great job on this! Can I get a link to these?

Here’s another presentation of a mustafar opening.
It was attempted, and poppasketti did as well as it could be done, but it just doesn’t work. They’re too different and occur as very different scale and/or speeds.
Could possibly be done with audio, having the upcoming transports be heard a second or two before we cut to them. Maybe.
It’s such a short shot, I don’t see any issue myself with the troopers running.
I think it looks pretty good. It’s about the first thing we see in the movie, anyway. Would just the shot of the TIEs in the forest be enough, though?
That TIE forest shot just feels comforting and nice. Like paintings with Star Wars stuff added. https://www.somethingawful.com/photoshop-phriday/star-wars-art/1/
DAMN, dude!
Yes, I didn’t have it on my list but I was hoping someone could make Luke a little less blue after jonh finished with his hair, if he hadn’t already.
Once she left Jungle World and didn’t have to interact with a wax figure of Leia anymore, she should’ve pulled her braids (?) out.
How much of that footage do you have? Is there more than those couple seconds?
Here’s a super quick mock up of another way of doing it like StarkillerAG suggested. No music though for now.
