No it wasn’t a thing in the previous animated shows, I think it was just for Jedi Fallen Order since in a game you have to sense places/objects to gain xp and exposition.

Technically retconned so Rey has it as well meaning it debuted with her, to explain her vision as she touched the lightsaber in The Force Awakens.

To me that feels like a random vision rather than a new power, and it’s never used again or talked about. Then again a bunch of stuff in TFA was never brought up later so who knows.

Well, Rey senses the dark history of Ochi’s dagger when she discovers it in TROS as well.

I listed everyone who posted in this thread, up to when I made the list at least. PM’ing now.

Fair points, and I tried to minimize throwing in AI stuff that didn’t address existing problems. Leia’s lack of on-point dialogue being one of them, sorta.

What do you think of Poe’s AI lines in the briefing? I hope that to an unsuspecting viewer it would read as ADR that maybe wasn’t a dead match. Like an older movie. Like Star Wars even. Ultimately it serves a more important plot issue we created. And after a while it’s hard for me to guess how it’ll sound to someone who wasn’t agonizing over it in a NLE.

Glad to hear about your good time! Not sure why the saber would look blue, unless people auto-adjusted based on expecting it to be blue.

The weird horny parts of SOTE are what audiences today are missing.

100%

Rey and Ben’s kiss was the best part of TROS because like FINALLY I’m like dust over here

It isn’t yet, due to an issue out of my control. Once I’m able to, I’ll put it there and post about it here.

That’s right, which adds to the badness of the idea.

Just released a V6 of this project which is intended as close-the-book final. It uses a new LUT from skenera for a much better color correction, and fixes a couple audio and subtitle issues.

I am still unable to upload to the google drive, but I will once I am able to again. Anyone who nabbed V3 of Ascendant, this can be found the same way.

Edit in a loop of 200 hours of Luke training with the remote aboard the Falcon, to match Han’s ETA of that amount of time.

PM sent.

😃

Well thank you! I’m limiting the scope of this for going forward, just leaving certain doors open but aiming for bringing the series to a state of completion as outlined in that post.

Goes without saying, but I so appreciate the community that’s let this come to be. That includes those who made all those prequel edits back in the day and the spirited effort the past several years around the sequel trilogy. And obviously the titanic efforts at preserving the OOT, which plays into my efforts too.

As fun as it has been to work on fan edits of the main Star Wars saga, for my own mental health I need to bring it to a soft close. I need to set them down, regard them as finalized, and not take them up again. It’s been meaningful to create and update these projects in the context of this community, and I am grateful for the various forms of help in getting this series of fan edits into the shape they’re in. I feel that these projects deserve the dignity of taking a final form and being complete. I’m not closing the door on future, new projects. But I need to mentally let go of the edits of the saga so far.

So here is where I am:

Prequel trilogy - I have one more future update to Episode I, once TMWNN finishes his FX work. Other than this, I am finished with the prequel trilogy. I don’t care what cool ideas, possibilities, or plot contradictions with new material come up in the future. Making a firm commitment not to revise these further.

Original trilogy - I have one more future update to ANH planned, also when TMWNN finishes his work on it. I am happy with how ESB and ROTJ are, but I leave the door open to updating them later in the event that new primary source material comes about. (This includes work to meticulously fix up the 2019 SE like TMWNN is currently doing for ANH.)

Sequel trilogy - I need to update the ‘Rey Nobody’ version of TROS:A, once DominicCobb finishes his work on it. I’m also prepping an update to TLJ to fix a couple minor glitches and take advantage of a LUT from skenera. But, other than this I would like to firmly set these down as final. Each of them feel complete by this point, fulfilling the original scope of their missions. (I will make available the raw clips of Leia’s original blue lightsaber so it is available in the event someone wants to have this comport with future material, though I don’t plan to release it as a complete alternate version.)

Rogue One - I’ll probably do a little update after season 2 of Andor to address anything at that point, and otherwise leave it be.

These are my conditions to break glass and revive any of these projects, outside of completing updates to COD, ANH, and TROS (Rey Nobody).

EDIT: I forgot about an imminent update to ESB, lol.

Rotoscope the AT-AT out of ROTJ and into ESB, and rotoscope ESB’s AT-ST into ROTJ.

Is this as good as it’s gonna get? 😄

Well, it’d be foolish to say so for certain. But, I do feel solid in saying that V3 executed all the key ideas well and feels complete.

I had decided against using that line, that’s right.

But you’re right, you did spot a little audio error there! I’ll fix it for the eventual Rey Nobody version and have it corrected for any hypothetical future update. But I don’t plan to update and reissue just for that.

Hope you enjoy the double feature and I look forward to hearing how it strikes you!

I’m glad that it wasn’t the effect of hired goons breaking into your home.

Thanks for continuing to admin this place. I was worried!

A worthwhile project. I look forward to seeing it.

I had a hard time staying awake during the third episode. I think this is gonna be another series that’ll end up working better as a fan edited single film.

Very relieved to see the forum this morning! My guess is a server was unplugged and Jay noticed it during it weekly check-in.

At least that was a more hopeful thought than the Mouse busting his door down and breaking his kneecaps.

V3 is out! Due to an unfortunate issue with the Google Drive that is provided to me to use by Hondo’s Trove, I cannot yet upload it there. This should become possible within a week. For the present, torrents have been released out into the wild.

I agree. I look forward to receiving whatever updated bits and pieces you have, and using V2’s for the rest, to update the dark visions take on ‘Rey Nobody’ for Ascendant V3.

I also look forward to DominicCobb’s TROS edit which brilliantly realizes the ‘Rey killed her parents’ angle. That idea deserves to be fulfilled and brought into existence properly!

Great to hear, thanks for sharing the feedback.

Digitally change Ewan’s hair to white in the Kenobi show, but only from the point that he learns Vader is still alive.
