I was talking about having Rey say “I’m just Rey” at the end.

Wow, that’s an interesting idea and good implementation. I think it’d be weird, though, for a movie called TROS to end that way, though. It’d be a TLJ-style inverted expectation.

Seems like it’d work within a Rey Nobody version but not so much in a Rey Palpatine version. And I’m still unsure which of the two paths I’ll go down, or split myself in half in order to go down both.

I know one (unrelated) thing. In a Rey Palpatine->Skywalker version, the opening crawl’s title will use the TFA/TROS font. But in a Rey Nobody version, it’ll be the TLJ font.

Awesome.

Two for ANH, one for ESB. Just a workprint for ROTJ so far.

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.

I agree, minus Anakin.

Well, no comprehensible spoken dialogue anyway. Several have R2 making sounds, and ANH has Chewie say something.

I wouldn’t worry about that at all; to me, it’s just a difference of how to present the information. Not a substantial thing, certainly not enough to merit tossing the benefits to LOE of having Obi-Wan present for the conversation.

I’m picturing R2 starting to chirp and wobble, only for Ben to slap him upside the back of his hand, then winces slightly at how it felt.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Rey.”

“Rey who?”

sees Leia and Ben

inner thought voice says “Solo…”

“Rey No One.”

What would be fairly easy and straightforward are audio-only changes.

I haven’t seen the new Clone Wars season, so I don’t know what all would even make sense to do if one wanted. But if it’s just audio tweaks with no corresponding video changes then it could be fun to do and be offered as an alternative track.

Is… the new season worth watching for someone who hasn’t really been jazzed by the show overall? I watched through an ‘essential viewing’ list a few years ago before TFA came out. To paraphrase Planet of the Apes, “It’s just so damn ugly.” Id honestly prefer reading the best stories it has to offer in written form.

Nope!

I haven’t watched it and just haven’t really been a fan myself of TCW throughout.

Also, it would take waaaaay more time than I could possibly give it these days, as I’d have to, in all likelihood, manually piece together the video stream from nothing all over again… again. That’s why the reflection of the removed R2 toward the end has stayed: not worth it to fix.

Applesauce

Yeah, it’s a conundrum. I agree that just snipping out “Rey —- Rey who?” helps a little.

Having a trio of ghosts with Luke, Leia, and Ben with a cheesey smile that I like might help too.

But I don’t really have any other big ideas. I’m open, of course.

One could remove her saber and imply that the story of all that stuff is done for now, with less of a direct statement that we won’t see what happens next.

Or like I’ve said before, if her lightning is yellowish earlier, this moment is given some meaning, showing her accepting and incorporating it with balance inside herself.

Or when she ignites the saber, we transition into a lengthy mental montage of all the Star Wars toy commercials throughout the ages before snapping back to reality when the old woman arrives.

Probably not due to the music.

Add Shaw Anakin’s voice just saying “Tell your sister…” to the Jedi voices speaking to Rey.

Even if you’ll let me and I end up using this sequence as you’ve edited it, I’d still include the medal shot, personally. But I don’t plan to remove it being given to Chewie.

I can’t tell on my phone, but Anakin’s scar isn’t visible, is it?

Cool, thanks.

I agree about Leia’s added line. Superb overall. Nice work.

Did you process that or where can it be found?

Love it.

Just wanted to throw in a slight preference for regular Jedi robes for Anakin. He’s an idealized redeemed Anakin with no need to wear black.

I say again, the ghosts are gonna be amazing to have in an edit.

No wonder I’m so surprised: all the cool stuff will be FX wizardry, not cutting footage in a NLE.

It’s perfect.
