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.

PM sent

It’s perfect.

Wrong thread. That was meant for the Custom SE thread.

Finally got the wheels turning on getting things into shape for ROTJ. I’ve got so little time to dedicate to anything leisurely, but I’m focusing on this for now. I’ll have some work, it seems, getting everything in sync and speaking the same language.

I’d still love and welcome Sir Ridley adding SE Sarlacc tentacles to the OOT footage, but I’m going to release a V1 without this, and treat it as though it were final. But I’ll keep everything else around for if and when he does do that.

I’m going to experiment with the video settings to see if I can make the 19SE transfer take maybe like a quarter-step toward the 1997/2011 look, to partially capitulate to my edits of ANH and ESB, which were sourced from the 2011 transfers.

Might be a little weird. Makes it seem like his post-ROTS memories are gone, yet he references ‘Master Luke’ a moment or two later.

I really like the idea that R2 has to talk to him, telling him his stories and so forth. But that’s probably outside the realm of fan editing.

Yeah, that’s right. Google just picks for you, not always helpfully.

That looks and feels so much better and more fitting than I imagined it would. Thank you, sir.

If anyone has any such audio from other media, send that to me, too. Ideally, leaving it all up to the likes of us is an appealing idea, but wouldn’t hurt to gather as much together as possible for starters.

?
Which version?

The Separatist murder should have taken place first, since Anakin probably would’ve liked to kill those guys anyway. Then once he’s got a taste for blood he can be sent to the Jedi temple. There’d have to be a reason for him to go to a lava setting after that, though, because as we all know the duel took place with lava.

Yeah, the eyes are only possible for official, ordained Sith that filed the paperwork.

Poppasketti, wow, man! That’s awesome. And good discussion about it since; I had my fingers ready to type what you all already have.

His face shouldn’t be the full monster face, even if they’re sort of soulless. They can be that way or healthy looking, as though they deteriorate quickly when possessed. It’s perfectly fine if each face seen is different, like it’s an imprecise science.

Aren’t there stitches on his hands? Maybe there can be a few other body parts in there. A hand, a leg, a cartoonishly large schlong.

That’s what I’m going for, a collection of various things like that that can be thrown together to characterize the fleet and give hopefully several of you all a fun way to do a cameo.

Send ‘em to me.

EDIT: what I mean is that I said that some pages back. But yes, send me audio clips of all y’all saying things like that in whatever kind of voices you like. I’ve got three people’s worth so far, all saying “For Skywalker.” But any kind of chatter you can come up with, whether you have a specific idea of where it can go or not, would be helpful. So it’s not just four seconds when we hear them talk.

So yes, if you’re reading this, send me a recording right now of yourself calling out “For Skywalker” or something similar and anything else your character would say in that situation. Since it’ll all be over commlink, it’s okay if the sound quality is absolute shit!
