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.
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.
