Hal 9000

I could, since I edited it together that way already. I haven’t watched that chunk of the movie overall, but I imagine it working well.

Leia dies, Kylo and Rey react and disperse.
Heroes return to base, Chewie loses it.
Kylo confronts his father’s mindworm which was tied to Leia.
Palpatine says Leia has thrown a monkey wrench into things and orders Pryde to come to him.
Poe prays to Leia.

Maybe Luke’s formal instruction wasn’t as much longer than Rey’s as we thought.

I don’t think it’s necessary to remove Hux sardonically asking if he should destroy the city. A Star Destroyer is a powerful vessel, and it’s not like they were in a Final Order Destroyer at that point anyway.

And about the line “every one we knock out is a world saved.” First, it’d be very awkward to try to remove since the main SW theme is blaring. But I think it still makes sense, not as a numerical ratio. Those Destroyers with their big guns are gonna go fuck up “all free worlds.” Taking them down in total saves the totality of all worlds. So, to put it poetically, each one destroyed could be said to save a world.

Yes, that’s a juicy idea.

And I hope it can serve to be built upon further, once it gets to exist in part by virtue of its conservat…ivity.

Cant’t look at your eyes without sparking some…

What is the reasoning for removing the horses?

I guess feeling that they’re unnecessary and the ground attack feels more straightforward without them.

I don’t plan to remove them in my project, though.

Hmm, it would especially help a Rey Nobody edit to imply that the dagger is what opens the doorway on the DSII.

Yeah, those horses really only are there super briefly. It’s just a tiny bit weird to have a janky dolly shot of the tower without them, but it wouldn’t really occur to someone that it is out of place. I wonder if it could be stabilized?

Hmmm… mmmmaaaaaybe. As usual, it’s a better idea, at least, but uncertain whether it’d be seamless to actually pull off here.

The dagger is the reason Rey goes off on her own to Kylo’s quarters, so I feel that any attempt to remove its use would feel more awkward than accepting a dumb moment.

It’s dumb, but it’s not one of the big problems I had with the movie when I left.

It’d be a hell of a movie if Ben Kenobi just showed up and said, “Just let me handle this.” They have transcended to another realm and show up sometimes as guides.

Either way, this thread is hardly the place for the discussion, so please find another thread for it.

Dude, that’s now how ghosts and spirits of ancestors work in stories. It’s no more a plot hole than “why didn’t Gandalf just blow everything up and stab Sauron in the face? He outranks him as a Maiar!”

I like the idea of merging Rey and Finn’s two Falcon conversations, so I’ll plan to implement that and see how it feels as a whole.

Yeah I will have to see what feels right, or what fits the music choice. I’m reluctant to reuse Burning Homestead because TFA did, but we’ll see! It’s only be the 385th callback to that movie after all.

Rey’s line to Kylo, “I do,” is totes a wedding vow. Kylo carries her across the threshold onto his shuttle in TFA, too.

BB8 in the AT-ST was removed, as was the coin gun.

I agree, though, that TLJ took a misstep in making Rey super concerned about identifying her parents. Kylo should have promised something like “I know where your parents are” rather than “who” they are.

I guess I never said so, but ROTJ: Custom SE is now available.

I’m considering it finished, but leave the door open to include a tweaked Sarlacc (SE tentacles but no beak) if Ridley elects to go about the tedium required.

It’s weird to feel a little sad to see how… close to being sort of complete the cutlist is.

I’ll be real with you, it’s gonna be hard when this thing is finished.

Fuckin’ A.

That clip has the line “Let your death be the final word in the story of rebellion.” If whatever music I overlay allows the line to be kept, I think it would be appropriate to have the first line of the crawl use the word ‘rebellion.’

In the theater during that sentence, I expected him to say “in the story of Skywalker.”

Ah, okay, thank you! It works well but I figured I’d ask after only getting a small part of the way through and being reminded how unforgiving daily life can be and figured you already did the work anyway. Sounds good and jonh can export from the source.

Okay, that’s unfortunate but I’m glad you got it!

I should have written it down because now I can’t remember!! Who’s DarthYcey on vimeo? I wanted to ask if you’d be able to export a ProRes version of your sequencing of part 2 of the ghost-relevant scene.

It’s the sort of thing I normally wouldn’t mind just recreating from eyeballing it, but any timesaves are immensely helpful.

Nice! Is it 5.1? There seems to be a weird frame after the first closeup of Palpatine.

Right.
