Thanks in advance to you both.

I watched through an essential viewing list a few years ago. I just meant maybe watching this rather than the content from the show it includes.

Awesome stuff. Thanks again.

Maybe I was too hasty is telling off Rey Palpatine. I don’t like that plot point, but from a fan editing POV I’m ambivalent.

I think two versions will be likely. I’d like to try to execute that idea as well as possible.

One teesy thing would be to leave Kylo’s revelation at “You’re his granddaughter.” No “You are a Palpatine.”

I do think yellow lightning could still be cool in a Rey Palpatine version.

Maybe I should just watch this when it’s at at least workprint status rather than the show!

Fuck it; clones whynot. It at least tries to offer an olive branch of logic and explanation.

The gloves are off when it comes to this movie.

Man, there’s some really cool stuff here.

The lightsaber talk on the balcony is insane.

Adding that apartment scene between the opera and Kashyyyk is perfect, as is its new last line.

Wonderful bit of fun. Amazing work!

I chuckled at Finn in the AT-ST, but it gets the point across.

Luke grabbing Kylo’s saber by the blade… mmmm, if only.

Guys forget about a Rey Skywalker/no one ending.

This is the True ending we deserve.

Oh, baby.

Re: yellow lightning. The idea is to deplete that moment of its original meaning of tying her to Palpatine. Since the lightning represents the inner darkness she fears, building a saber with a yellow blade at the end could be seen as her having accepted and integrated this into herself, reaching a sense of balance.

Re: clones. Ideally somebody, anybody’s face could be shown on a small group of people in like one shot aboard the Sith Fleet ships. Obviously with what we have to work with having Temuera Morrison’s voice is about the only viable shorthand with which we can telegraph that these are clones, but it raises questions. Moreso if one is into the EU, as clones had to be phased out over time.

Re: still releasing a Rey Palpatine version. Probably, at least to prevent regretting not doing so.

Well, would anyone be willing to play with a few things?

• removing the little crackle of electricity as we first see Palpatine’s hands

• Making Rey’s hand-lightning in the desert somewhat yellow

I wonder why the Fett clones would resurface after the Empire phased them out, though.

If his face could be added to any underlings during the destruction of Kijimi maybe that’d be enough to subtly tip off that way of addressing the problem to fans. Not sure how possible that’d really be.

EDIT: There’s only two real people in the scene, and the rest are helmeted cardboard cutouts. No real opportunity to shove in more clone audio. But… hmmm… might be something to think about.

I’m finding myself much more willing to just go along with whatever works where I used to be continuity conscious. I guess TROS just makes no fucking sense, so whatever works!

I think the whole Rey Palpatine touches on Rey being afraid of herself or her power. It’s been there throughout, and I guess it’s meant to spark this.

But when it comes to actually watching the movie, it is just a red herring that just tends to eliminate all subtlety.

Fuck Rey Palptine. Rey Nobody or bust. I’m in.

Hey, that’s pretty cool. Nice job!

Could you post this clip I keep hearing about with talk of Anakin’s child being given a lightsaber?

❤️

Lol

Yeah, the visions from Dominic for certain. In a Rey Palpatine version I would use a few of his other ideas but that’s the big one.

Yeah, I don’t know. I’m inclined to leave the ending scene pretty much as it is, but I’m far from resolved on it and remain open.

I didn’t for the SEs because it was (supposed to be) a straightforward pick-and-choose of the changes they already made.

With my life being as chaotic as it is, it seems impossible to find 6 1/2 hours alone with quiet to even be able to!

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.
