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…

Who the heck ARE the Sith in RoS?

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.”

No, I know! Lol

What do you mean by tick scenes, though?

I’m waiting for LILLIAN to send me the Mustafar footage and foley so I can put that together.

Dominic is going to send me his flashbacks once he’s got them where he’s happy with them and halfway confident they’ll be the final versions.

DarthYCey sent me a better way to handle the lightspeed skipping skip, but I’m holding out on giving it the check mark in case someone is interested in painting Klaud out of two shots. (Actually, maybe Klaud can be added to the night briefing scene in order to have a character deliver subtitled dialogue. Probably not; I don’t think there’s usable footage with his mouth moving unless from behind the scenes.)

I can post a clip of the Rey and Leia scene. I remember that I joined all channels except center somewhere just once, from the beginning to the end, rather than jumping around, adding the left and right channels to center to bridge, then re-adding center’s dialogue. If you do like it better I can send you the raw audio stems even.

Has jonh finished the hair already? I thought he was still working on that.
