Lengthy exposition breaks spoken by each Wayfinder when they are revealed.

Silence.

Has anyone attempted to remove the reused music as Rey enter’s the Death Star throne room? I imagine the music will be in all channels…

Didn’t see this thread until now. Lol, WTF?

Here’s a weird idea: change 3PO’s line about the OLD Republic banning speaking Sith to the NEW Republic. (Maybe have to remove “I believe” since it’d be recent.)

Idea is that it’d make the hindrance due to recent hubris or myopia, and remove a slight implication that Palpatine being a Sith would have been in and of itself unacceptable in the days leading up to the Empire. (Like the novelization of ROTS maintaining that belonging to the religion Sith isn’t a crime.)

The way they each are, A looks more naturally integrated. I love the attention to detail.

I think that’s perfectly reasonable in a film that often refers to her that way.

Great discussion. I don’t have an answer about whether to have any yellow lightning at the end, but probably not.

Yes this would be good info. At present the only one I’d include is the Clone Wars Microseries, as it doesn’t have any big tangents that don’t fold into the movies like TCW series.

Hokk gazette!

I remember the Cantina band on a Taco Bell poster, maybe it was that!

Oh boy. With this quarantine I could sure use a Tatooine taco about now… and drink through Watto’s spine.

Maybe if we’re lucky the Mandalorian will make a joke out of having Fett say his 4 OT lines in some context.

“And then I says to the guy, ‘Hey! Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold.’”

Nice, thanks!

Heroes leave Pasaana

Falcon is towed to the Destroyer. Leads into Palpatine and Kylo’s conversation about what kind of game he’s playing and he better watch out, buster.

Heroes regroup on the ship and decide fuck Threepio. They land on Kijimi and meet Frick and decide to do the surgery.

Hux sarcastically asks if Kylo wants them to destroy the city and gets a stern pointing to.

3PO and heroes continue on, Rey senses Chewie is alive, and 3PO wakes back up.

Blast doors open to reveal Chewie. Hux comments, Pryde sends Chewie off.

Kylo heads down to the planet. Things play out from there.

Except that after the heroes leave the Destroyer and Rey has a conversation with Finn about wanting to destroy Palpatine, we go directly to their arrival on Endor/Craft Beer.

I just implemented moving Chewie’s reveal to after Rey senses him, and the evil Skype call to where the Chewie reveal used to be. It seems like a very natural set of transitions, story wise and with the A/V.

You hinted at changing dialogue somewhere. I just began the Chewie scene with the blast door opening, skipping the coy and now out of place “so, we uh… found a cool… prisoner” part. I used a stock blast door sound effect to lessen the bleed of the music from the lead up and it seems natural to me.

But his voiceover for ESB suuuuuucks…

It’s beautiful.

Hey that’s not bad, if that’s the line!

Ohh, good one.

If the droids can be in the chess scene, all the better. Maybe an alternate delivery of the famous line (from the radio drama or something) could end the interior portion with, “Let the Wookiee win.”

(Eh, maybe not.)

Yeah, it’s an attempt to make the fleet Imperial rather than coming out of JJ’s ass.

Dominic made a good point about not talking about Rey, since it does t tell us anything we don’t see immediately.

To move crawl discussion for this project into its own thread, here’s my current draft. Could stand some tweaking yet.

Episode IX
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
Across the galaxy, the spark of hope lives on. To suffocate a growing uprising, the tyrannical First Order has silenced communication between neighboring systems.

Attempting to unite the disparate rebelling worlds, General Leia Organa dispatches her brave agents across the stars to fan the flame of Resistance.

Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren has traveled to Mustafar in search of a rumored Imperial fleet that would allow him to destroy any threat to his power…

Of course I don’t mind using anything of mine.

Yeah, maybe, but the stronger opening is Poe saying “okay we got 5 minutes” or whatever the says in the cockpit.

Unrelated: without the lightspeed skipping sequence, Finn only has one thing to comment on of Poe’s “shifty stuff,” when he hotwires the speeder on Pasaana. It’d be ideal to remove his line of “yeah well I’ll tell you when you talk about all that shifty stuff you do” but cutting it straight out makes for an unworkably abrupt cut to the next shot. Not the biggest deal to keep the line, but worth mentioning as a slight current issue.

Yes, good insights!

I like the idea of silencing communication because it can tie into Poe’s feeling of being alone without help, and the FO’s strategy of making them feel they’re alone.
