I shared this in another thread. Kylo’s tie not exploding.

I honestly don’t think this scene should be here seeing as all supreme leader ships are prototypes. This just pops back in the next scene.

I hear you, but I’m gonna leave it for this edit. It’s like Gandalf’s staff, it’s just sort of something that happens.

I mentioned this ages ago but what do you think of a little switch around with force healing kylo, with the goal in mind to show Rey’s feelings as romantic, subsequently selling the Reylo kiss at the end.

Switch it around so that Rey’s hand reaches out to heal Ben after she confesses that she wanted to “take Ben’s hand”, healing him, and then running off as Ben stares in awe.
Proof of concept: https://vimeo.com/400042403

Boom. Thanks.

Hey, I’d be happy to give it a try! I am picturing plumes of smoke in following shots but maybe that’s more from production footage.

Also, no one seems to have noticed the slightly different Hal9000 logo at the end…

EDIT: There is smoke and fire, but the ball is pretty much intact, so I’ll try it!

Also, does the closeup of the shuttle while Rey and Kylo are fighting over it sounds like the OOT Sarlacc to anyone else?

I’m not sure the expression on Wicket’s face might be too indicative of “oh boy just wait until he catches up with the main characters.” I think less is more here.

You might need to download the workprint rather than play it in the browser.

And all I meant was that I hope to get enough done for V1 not to need to come back for a V2, and close this off mentally and set it down. But if there’s something like new deleted scenes, you bet I’ll do one!

StarkillerAG, ❤️

^ My read on Luke’s comment about “Leia knew it, too” is that Luke MUST have learned about this only after he had died. Leia must have known, then told Luke, who then displays this knowledge to Rey while saying “Leia knew too.” TLJ Luke just does not seem to be in on this secret. Even so, I don’t see a good way to remove it unless you’re going to go whole hog and remove Rey Palpatine altogether.

I can boost the audio after the chess scene. I assume you mean the, “I’m kidding!” and subsequent bickering? I wanted it to feel like it’s coming from a few rooms away and not that audible, but enough to sell that it was happening onboard while Rey was getting off the ship.

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.

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.

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.
