Every frame of the Kylo shot is still there, btw.

Real quick, here’s a test of removing the Palpatine line: https://vimeo.com/429722548

Exceeded download quota. 😭😭😭

Thanks for the PM Hal. I’ll watch as soon as I can download it…

If you have a Google Drive, “copy” this to your Drive, then copy it again within your Drive, and then you should be able to download.

Klaud Squad here:

Idk if Klaud was supposed to be removed completely or not, but he’s still in one shot during the beginning Falcon chase, falling over with his classic Awed Klaud face

I’d like him to be removed. There’s a couple shots that would need FX. The shot of him falling over can just be edited out easily. Here’s the footage I’d need: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u0x-OMfTBZ0dpnVflTzKSRjsxOp9uU6l/view?usp=sharing

There will be color correction, but I didn’t do it for the workprint as it would have held it up and been a pain in the ass.

I would adore any good new shots of ships heading toward planets, lol.

Chewie’s roar as they head to the ice wall hasn’t been touched; it was like that.

I can try to remove “they fly now,” lol.

I don’t know about Finn. There will be some residual Force-implication for him regardless, so I’m inclined to leave his “secret” as is. Maybe something to chew on after leaving the theater.

I don’t plan to remove Kylo’s exploding TIE. I’d have to gut the whole sequence, and that won’t help the film’s pacing. These Force users just sort of routinely defy reality.

I like the yellow lightning, but I would probably only use it for a ‘Rey Nobody’ version to distance from Palpatine. But I’m open to feedback and it seems like more people feel weird than good about it.

That’s a good point about the heroes leaving Pasaana. If that ship can be seen leaving the planet and maybe entering hyperspace, that’d be cool.

Nice idea, i’ll play with quieting the music as Rey tells Finn about her vision.

I’m not going to remove DO’s “sad” or “happy.” 😦 😃

I worry that if I remove the line “You are a Palpatine,” it might not be clear. He’s speaking through the helmet and can be hard to hear. I like the dialogue on paper better without the line, though.

The line “two were made” harkens back to Lando stating as much earlier in the movie. It doesn’t bother me, but I’m sure it could be removed easily if it bothers most people.

I’d love a PM please

Sent!

Maybe. I seem to remember, and maybe it was from TLJ artwork, a poster of Rey holding her saber up. That’d tie into the whole “rise” or “ascending” thing.

Okay and I think as of this post everyone should have a PM.

Thanks, sgroov90! Too bad I didn’t see your post until I got to this page. lol

Everyone so far should have a PM!

And that’s very nice, Muffy! Actually, that reminds me that at some point cover artwork will be needed. Ideally, in the style of TFA:R and TLJ:L. The others had Kylo Ren and Luke, so I guess Rey would be a natural fit for TROS:A.

On its way up now. Sending out a few PMs.

Please request PMs here, rather than PMing me, as whomever sees it first who has the link can respond!

It’ll be on the Drive, so anyone with a link already can get it once it’s there.

Unless morning is a mad rush, I ought to be able to mux and send it up. It’ll be a 720p ‘Apple Tv’ preset with 5.1 DD.

There’s obviously things that aren’t ready yet, but I’m okay doing this since what’s there is coherent. You could watch this as is and there aren’t any loose ends.

I will leave the Chewie-Hux scene in, for at least a first workprint, to see whether it feels right. Which may or may not be encoding right now.

Hmm.

Certainly could do that, yeah.

Thanks, Muffy, for verifying on a true 5.1 setup. I hope you get the chance to watch an eventual workprint that way, too. I don’t have access to one.

And, Chase, in my version as it stands… 3PO wakes up from surgery and meets Frik, then Hux reveals Chewbacca (beginning with blast door raising), then Kylo heads to the planet in his (other?) TIE.

Crap!

As the ending celebration of TRoS fades to black, one person’s head explodes with barely any time to register what’s happening because it already started fading out.

Yeah, I don’t know. It ‘ticks’ a box and for lack of any other given excuse for them being able to get aboard, it’s fine. It gives Zorri a reason not to follow and to come back later. Eh.

I think Chase is right. I know the Chewie reveal is right after 3PO wakes up and introduces himself.

Did anyone with the 4K version put together a 1080p cropped version that features the kiss a bit more prominently?

Ha! Nice way to do that. Yes, I think you have it correct. I’m 98% sure you have it right about the scene where Kylo points at Hux. (Can’t check at the moment!)

don’t worry, a workprint won’t be a secret once I do that. I’d like to wait though until most things are done, including Mustafar.

And jonh, please remind me if I haven’t sent it to you by tomorrow.

PM sended

What, like he was gonna say, “OMG we’re gonna die in sand, omg real quick, Rey, I’M GAY! hhurvvvldlejerjj” dies ?

Seems disjointed and extremely on the nose. I wouldn’t have cared if they took Finn and Poe in that direction but it’s hard to imagine a fan edit pulling it off without feeling fan-fic-y.
