I just start threatening and choking people telepathically when something’s not right.

Always nice to hear the twins theme. Not sure about it here, though, as Leia is the focus. I don’t know, maybe something to toss around.

Thanks for putting it together. I think the weak part of it is dipping into the ‘coming together’ piece for just a couple seconds before shifting over to Yoda lifting the X-Wing. One piece of music too many. If Luke and Leia can segue directly into it then maybe we’ve got something.

That could work…

ROTJ’s 19SE (SDR) colors look just fine to me. Moreso than the new ANH or ESB. Maybe it’s because the 2004/11 transfers were just the worst.

Anyway, I find that increasing the brightness somewhat and dialing the saturation up 20% makes it feel like it could fit in reasonably well with the modified 2011 version of the other two films without taking things too far.

To adjust the brightness, I increased the whites by 13%, the midrange about half that much at 6%, and left the blacks where they were. It looks good to me, anyway, and hopefully that logic is sound.

Sounds like our projects will have a lot in common. Looking forward to samples!

Both parties are me.

Myself: I hold your oath fulfilled. Go, be at peace.

My compulsions: fade into sweet rest

When I finish the saga, I imagine feeling like this.

No, I didn’t take it that way. Just being snarky.

I probably should be shamed, though.

Well I brought it into this thread for exposure.

I should be shamed.

Updated Sarlacc links!

My understanding was that it was final, and I thought it blended in very nicely. Of course if he decides he wants to do even more with it I can take it and add it.

TFA’s initial BluRay release had the deleted scenes. I think they saw us having fun and so they decided to install barbed wire fences. (Not really but probably more to do with public image.)

RogueLeader, I like that idea. I think the emotional swell needs to happen as or shortly after Rey recognizes Chewie and needs to have ended before 3PO wakes up.

Skenera, nice!! That looks better than I thought it would, even.

And poppasketti already did a good “you were right” a few pages back. He recorded himself, modulated it, and overlaid it with a few authentic Kylo Ren consonant sounds. The man’s a genius.

WHAT?

I’ve either never seen the whole name or never had it occur to me.

That’s… SO much better than Sheev.

Hi there. Welcome.

Any car purchased in the las—

Oh, wrong power windows. I didn’t want Harmy to tire out his arm before he could get home to work on this thing.

Maybe Harmy could start a training temple and divide the trilogy among his student to complete. If 13 people each take half an hour of footage, assigned based on difficulty and mastery, and then passed the results up to Harmy to approve and maybe tweak…

Sounds cool! I’ll watch the final four episodes for now but this’ll be fun to check out afterward.

Thanks, I’ll try reuploading then tonight.

Could anyone possibly “de-specialize” these two sarlacc shots for me? I wouldn’t think it’d be too difficult for someone in the know.

Just wanted to make sure this request wasn’t lost. For these two shots using the entire 4K83 frame would be particularly jarring when they should be able to have the tentacles removed (they are both stationary) somewhat easily. It need not be religiously performed; it’s okay if the end result isn’t 100% authentic OOT, just to remove the added tentacles.

Once I’ve got that taken care of I should be able to shove ROTJ V1 out the door, set things up to be ready if and whenever Sir Ridley completes work on the Sarlacc, and turn all attention on TROS.

Chase Adams did the 3PO line switch.

And yeah, I’d be up for those, if anyone knows where to find suitable replacements. Nice idea about his AOTC line. Maybe others would work, too, like “Shut me down” or “You don’t know what’s out there.”

^ Rey’s parents being drunkards may not be the best fit for the edit. Having the retcon of TLJ feel authentic is the trick. The linchpin of the issue was in the line “I never lied to you.” Like, yeah we know you didn’t, because it was Rey who said so in the last movie. Kylo commented on Rey being sold for drinking money because that’s how it looked and felt to her. He then discovered more after meeting with Palpatine. (Come to think of it… how exactly does he learn this?)

Replacing the line with “You were right… your parents were no one” validates TLJ’s point before retconning it.

It… I… the thi—-…

…

…

I mean, this whole thing is a load of shit, but my history with SW compels me to polish this one last… deposit before closing up shop.

Doesn’t he state that pretty directly?

You could probably skip everything but the last four episodes of the new season, honestly. xP

You just gave me permission.

I don’t really like the clones in TCW. AOTC and ROTS made them out to just be mindless automatons who do whatever they’re told and don’t give too much of a shit.

They get an order to kill their commanding officers with whom they sometimes pal around? Ho hum, better get to it.

In TCW they’re so humanized and beloved they have to invent a brain chip implant to explain how they could do that. It doesn’t feel like it’s part of the same story. I still prefer the older Clone Wars series and the multimedia that was put out prior to 2008.

They brought in Darth Maul’s long lost brother. Weird, but all right I guess. But then they dredge up Darth Maul himself. Hearing about that years ago before ever even watching the show sort of put me further off doing so.

But, maybe when my kids are a little older we’ll give it a fresh chance.

TBF, nobody has freaking arc in this film.

Poe’s arc… from hothead flyboy to responsible general.
Finn’s arc… from victim of the empire and all alone, to force sensitive leader who teams up with other victims to topple it.
Rey’s arc… from someone who is lost, drawn to darkness, and doesn’t know her place or have a family to someone who chooses good, has a family, and presumably becomes the leader of a new Jedi Order.

If that’s not an arc… I don’t know what an arc is then.

Maybe it’s just not the arc you would have written.

All of those arcs seem to have been addressed to my satisfaction in TFA and/or TLJ. At least one twice already.

But how did her parents sell her to Palpatine? Was Uncle Plutt (you heard me) just watching her while waiting for him to pick her up?
