Where is Ridley? Is he safe? Is he alright?

I’m afraid, in your anger… he’s recovering decently in a hospital bed.

smash cut to the opposite

Well, here’s the other one in case it’d be helpful: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1u1YL3ZFJYhfF8T5b_bSiwwMeqywMftAq

Here’s the first clip for the moment. Gotta rip the other one from 4K83 later on…

Yes! Will do ASAP

Hmm, thanks for taking a look at any rate.

Jedi spirits show up to help Poe, and a fleet of ships to help Rey.

That’s what I thought he was saying the first time I saw it. Confused me.

After Rey walks away from the old woman at the end, she calls out, “Boo! Boo!” like the hag in the Princess Bride.

I like this stuff. Ben’s ghost and the Falcon sound like fun regardless of how Rey answers the old woman. Still need to iron out end credit transition music sometime, too.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed them! 😉

Well, remember that DrDre was the one who showed me how to do it. It’s really pretty simple, but I’m glad that making them available was useful for you.

Okay, everybody squeeze in. A little to your left, Ben. Hold it… don’t blink. Aaaaaand… smile!

No, hey, it doesn’t hurt to try things, like you say. It might be more appropriate in the general ideas thread, but I don’t mind it taking place here. It seems like most of us check both threads anyway.

I don’t see any reason to mess with Luke and Leia. The Jedi ghost thing seems to be less of a ‘true essence’ and more like ‘hey wow I found a way to teleport into ghost world and stop aging from where I was.’ Hayden-ghost notwithstanding.

I mean, I welcome trying to get a Ben ghost to look great. He certainly should wear something befitting a redeemed Jedi, maybe something like he wore in the TLJ flashback. Luke and Leia seem happy, and he should seem happy, too.

I don’t really get why he wasn’t there in the movie, maybe just because they want to focus on the twins? But, like, why, though? It’s more about Rey and Ben than the two of them. I guess that’s just par for the course at that point.

JEDIT: I posted this before seeing Jonh’s post above. Nice, dude! It looks like his senior photo or something! And that’s not a bad thing!

That’s not a bad idea, for that approach!

I love this town.

Nah, I’d take the Falcon over the X-Wing.

I remain open, but I’m probably not going to change the ‘Rey Skywalker’ angle. I don’t want to do anything dodgy in the very final scene. My approach tends to be fairly conservative, after all.

The idea in 2004, just executed better, I guess. Would you want to see him aged at all?

Partly. Also having so many elements onscreen gives more to look slightly different compared to other shots. The sky, the skiff, the sand, etc.

Most of the other shots are more focused and have less ‘liability.’

Obviously despecializing most of them would be ideal, but 4K83 works pretty well for most shots. Surprisingly well.

Really, “The Phantom Menace” would be the best one.

Here’s the current state of the crawl. Obviously some of it is temporary placeholders until I can get the wording right.

Episode IX
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

Things aren’t good. The First Order has really gotten ugly and the sense of hope alluded to at the end of the last movie is alive but suffocated.

As Rey, sole heir to the Jedi, continues her training under the ailing General Leia Organa, their fledging Resistance gathers intel to forge a path to freedom.

Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren rages in search of his grandfather’s SITH WAYFINDER, desperate to end the spectre haunting him with threats to his rule…

I think all that would be disruptive to the movie’s progression, including holding out on Leia appearing until that point.
