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!

I’m not sure, but I might do two versions: Rey Palpatine and Rey Nobody.

In Palpatine version, it’s sort of addressed by Kylo saying “you were right… your parents were no one… they chose to be to protect you.” It’s still a “certain point of view” thing. But her mother won’t say “she isn’t on Jakku she’s gone” because my version of TLJ doesn’t require them to die on Jakku.

In Nobody version, I think it’d have to be that they truly were drunkard deadbeats who get killed. Rey feels angry that her parents were killed in principle, even if they weren’t great. She probably still has a sense of wishing for them, even if it was always sort of wishful thinking on her part.

That looks very nearly flawless! Within the maximum nitpick zone, when they first appear it still looks like Luke was caught off guard and is getting into position.

Obi-Wan looks perfect now. Yoda is right, looking as we just saw him a movie ago. Anakin is recognizable, but the footage isn’t, and Luke has the right look and expression.

Terry, welcome. Thanks for the idea. Personally I like restricting the ghosts to those we’ve seen already, and adding more starts to make it questionable. It’s a way to still sort of harmonize with what the end of ROTS seems to want to say. Not drawing a hard line, but that’s my read on it. I’m glad we get to hear Qui-Gon, but I don’t need to see him.
