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.

Yeah, man, I feel you. I think most of us felt sort of stunned by the movie we got and are surprised by what’s been done so far by everyone.

The movie’s flaws are still there, but being able to at least make a few good alterations feels great. Personally, I’m acting more as MC than for other projects, so I’m especially thankful for the help. The 9000 saga will conclude with a bang.

Concluding several years’ worth of SW projects using a video editor that was last supported nearly a decade ago like…

The music. All of it.

To ask a related question… if Sidious is all the Sith, I take that to mean that from perhaps Darth Bane onward the Master basically possesses the apprentice, and on and on it goes.

So, Darth Sidious ought to somehow contain all his predecessors, perhaps even really being Darth Bane. If this is so, how is one to read the line in ROTS in which Palpatine appears to revel in killing his master? “He could save others from death… but not himself.”

Sidious would essentially be Plagueis, right? It would make more sense if the line were something like “he thought he could kill him but he couldn’t.”

I’ve been making them available a few ways, including Google Drive. Doesn’t get much easier than that, so don’t worry.

And the Ewoks are being moved, to turn the planet (sorry, MOON) the DSII lands on into Endor. The Ewoks see the Falcon go by.

I did lower the music because it seemed otherwise things were pretty muddy. Just like a trailer, the music comes down somewhat while there’s talking.

Maybe for the commentary track I can edit in the added vocals only for that scene while I shut up, so there can be a place to go to hear it all.

Oh, yeah. And here’s another test, this time with all the voices. So, I believe everyone has been included, even though clearly not everyone is audible. I wish everyone could be!

^ I’ll see if the music can be reasonably massaged to accommodate the shorter footage, which I think will be fine.

And I don’t see a download link on vimeo; can you send me the shot, or let me know if you put it in your Master folder?
