Hmmm… if Kijimi isn’t destroyed, could it feature in the mini-montage of Star Destroyers going down instead of Jakku?
Coruscant > Cloud City > Kijimi
You’d have a planet introduced in the first film of the first trilogy, second film of the second trilogy, and third film of the third trilogy.”
“Happy.”
I feel you, I was so discouraged early on and am grateful for such communal help.
I figure that if the TIEs follow the Falcon aaaaaand scene, the viewer would infer that Poe pulled further shenanigans to lose them (pushing the Falcon to her limits due to the FO’s new hyperspace tracking capabilities) as referenced when Rey chides him for lightspeed skipping. I got the transition to feel fairly natural to me, and I think I would have accepted it.

I can’t encode a clip right now because ROTJ is exporting but I wipe away from the lightspeed scene after they blast through the ice wall and are followed by TIES. Skenera extended the shot to allow for a smooth transition.
I was trying to cut just before the Ties as I’ve cut them out the end of that scene. I’d like to see your edit wgen you can.
How far in from finishing a rough cut are you?
Oh, I really don’t know.
If you end up being able to remove even the TIEs, I would consider whether the later conversation about lightspeed skipping will make sense.

Partly because I have very little time, and because I trust you implicitly, almost certainly as you go with this idea, so go I.
If the helmet scene is used at the start, would there still be a place for Dominic’s Kylo vision?
Fantastic, thank you again. The OT isn’t hard to do in small cracks of time since I know what’s different without having to do research or anything.
Very nice. Looks like we’ll have some excellent options and be able to give the opening at least a tiny bit of room to breathe.
While I would welcome better quality releases for all the films, it’s consolation that at least my existing prequel related projects aren’t rendered hopelessly obsolete.
Wow, that is impressive!
Absolutely, that’ll save me a lot of effort if you are already doing that. Thanks in advance. 😃
Great! Where can I send them?
You could send me a link via PM by whatever means, or PM me for email or to figure something else out. Luckily subs are tiny files.

Personally I think a shuttle would be better for believability because he’d found one laying around and it need not be special.
I had ROTJ ready to go but found a problem: I forgot to overlay RogueLeader’s two Sarlacc shots! So it’ll probably be another week of encoding…
If you want to remove the Goonies moment with the knife, it could still be found and need translation to inform them they need to go to Endor.
Then Rey finds it in Kylo’s room and pockets it.
It rough, as you say, but I could see that working potentially. Thanks!
Feel free, certainly! English subtitles exist, so you could take a language subtitle file and align the timing or even just do a custom translation if you really want to.
I’ll try to do Spanish for ROTJ that I’m trying to get out the door, and the others sometime later.
My prequel edits have Spanish subtitles thanks to a volunteer. Originally MalaStrana did the French subtitles but I’ve done them since.
I’ll be sure to do Spanish subtitles for this and future releases, and go back and do them for ANH-TLJ. The work and syncing is done, as I can mirror the English subtitles’ timing to the Spanish ones. It’s not rocket science but requires some time and attention.
Wow, that’s amazing. And it really helps.
Hmm, we’ve only see one TIE like that, and we’d have to assume it was on the DSII. This concern might be silly in light of having the wreckage be the way it is in the movie, but I’d find it more believable if he arrives in a craft of which there were presumably many. Maybe he had to rummage around a while to find one that actually worked. A shuttle could be cool, and only enough of it would need to be in frame as would appear from that distance due to its size.
Hard to keep up with everything, but I keep tabs even when I can’t do any actual work. I’ll keep revisiting the crawl until we get it solved. Thanks for the continued good feedback.
Even when the baby sleeps well, leave it to something like my wife having hiccups to drive me here in the middle of the night.
I was perusing the review thread and saw a good point raised by NeverAr: Kylo shouldn’t have been able to take the TIE fighter from the Death Star II to Exogol, as ANH made clear that they do not have hyperdrives. Given that we see it for all of one shot, standing still, it should be feasible to replace with something else, like an Imperial shuttle or a TIE variant.
Then again, it doesn’t really make sense for Luke’s X-wing to be functional without serious work either. TLJ showed us he used part of a wing for a door. Lol, maybe for the few interior shots of the X-wing, it could be made to look gross and covered in moss.
Part of why it sucks is that it is ostensibly the end, the final conclusion. If episodes 10-12 were a foregone conclusion rather than explicitly precluded by all the marketing, I might be just a bit less harsh on this movie.
It really is difficult for me to muster goodwill for this movie. It’s just so… dumb is the only word that fits it. It’s a paint by numbers cowardly way to handle the conclusion. And I don’t blame anybody in particular, just the platonic construct of the “author.” I don’t care what went on behind the scenes or politically, the end result needs to be treated as a product of an author, even if there were many hands involved at a high level. And I just don’t see that author as having anything interesting to say. It feels to me like someone tasked with doing something they didn’t want to do and finding the easiest path to completion. An algorithm wrote the movie, with no sense of myth and only a sense of storytelling inferred from earlier material and regurgitated as a matter of rote.
It’s an after dinner mint served in lieu of the final course, which turned out to use artificial sweetener.
The author of this movie, who appears to be no one particular person and could very well not truly exist as such, is a hack fraud. It’s really saying something that the prior movie, without being modified at all, makes for a genuinely superior ending and your movie actively detracts from the sum of the series. This movie felt obligated to exist, and this pervades it.
It was made by Gill from The Simpsons.
Episode IX
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
Rebellion has been kindled. To suffocate a growing uprising, the tyrannical First Order has silenced communication between neighboring systems.
While Rey, sole heir to the Jedi, continues her training, General Leia Organa has dispatched her brave agents across the stars to unite the disparate worlds in the name of Resistance.
Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren has traveled to Mustafar, chasing whispers of a hidden power that would allow him to destroy any threat to his rule…
Yeah… as genuinely interesting as that is as an idea and a mock-up, I just don’t quite buy it. I’ll likely keep the Han scene more or less as is.
And poppasketti, I missed your TIE flyover before. Nice work! That’ll make excellent visual continuity between the pan down from the crawl to the planet surface, whether or not anything ends up being placed in between.
Removing some of the Final Order ships wasn’t really a serious idea. It does need to qualify as “the largest fleet the galaxy has ever known.” It’s silly to imagine the Emperor cackling, “Witness my fully armed forty-seven thousand star destroyers! You’ll never defeat that many star destroyers!” But, going to trouble to paint out some of them won’t really make anything any better.
nl0428’s mockup is what got me thinking about Kijimi today, incidentally.
I agree, that’s real nice!
Here’s another stab at the crawl. The first line needs replacing…
