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.”

Eh, you guys can record and send in whatever you like, be it a canon nod or something to serve as a self-insert.

With thousands of ships, I’m okay with not having many already known ones speak up.

And if you have any history with this site or fan editing, feel free to nod to it. I did so with “9000 crew,” and suggested “Phantom 4” for jonh.

It’s whatever you want it to be, but I encourage making something up yourself.

I think that’s the ‘canon’ idea now anyway, that his prequel memories returned as well. I like this idea, and hopefully we can make it blend.
What’s the source of the dialogue? Sounds familiar but I can’t place it.

I’m not sure what “Padme’s very first mission” would be, though. First mission of the Clone Wars? Is there even some specific dialogue like “I am going with Mistress Padme to the ___ system” or something to reference TCW?

The whole gag is a good 15 seconds. The thing farts and howls about it. We need to get that into 4K and back into the movie. All theatrical otherwise.

In all seriousness, I miss my ooooold TPM edit sourced from DVD, where I could mix and match from all the extended podrace bits. Couldn’t really do that while working with the BluRay since it’s so different.

Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I’m actually really surprised a shorter version of this gag exists, since I’ve only seen TPM on VHS. Was it cut down for the DVD release or the later BLuray release?

It was never changed within the film itself. What that link shows is the bonus extended podrace sequence.

I’ve posted the prores files for Option A and Option E to my Master Clips folder!

I toned down the lens flare, and made a couple more small tweaks. I still recommend Option E, because I think the scale and speed is the most correct for the camera lens/perspective. The Vimeo links are also downloadable so you can just select “original” to grab the prores.

Thanks to everyone for the amazing and helpful feedback! It’s always better when we collaborate!

Edit: Hal, that new 3PO works real well!

I can’t seem to figure out how to download. 😕

Anything you guys care to send in I’d be happy to massage in. Obviously some clips must be lower volume than others but I’d hope to include at least something from everyone who sends something in. So if you only sent a “For Skywalker” before, feel free to send something else and a check-in.

I’ll let axlanian continue mixing, but I’ll just add any further submissions over top myself.

The Falcon shot is marvelous. The end scene will be really cool: chess scene, alternate take of Rey’s line with FX to match, new music lead-out, and the Falcon leaving Tatooine.

Unusual <strong>Sequel Trilogy</strong> Radical Redux Ideas Thread

I think having someone else do 9 would’ve alleviated that. As it turned out, it feels like a well-executed but shallow opening, an interesting shake-up with the power of myth, then a return with a vengeance to shallow that tries to sidestep the meat of the trilogy.

If you like JJ better, RJ’s chapter is gonna stand out as the spoiled meat in the sandwhich. And if you like RJ, JJ seems like he slapped pop tarts on either side of roast beef.

JJ’s plan was probably crap and Rian realized that it was crap.

lol, indeed.
