Yeah! That’s great!

Personally, I prefer Dominic’s version of the initial vision. And I’m not sold on the snake being frightened by her inner darkness, either the idea or how effective it’s possible to get it to be.

That’d probably make more sense. My idea was to imply that tracking Snoke’s miscellaneous stuff would lead him to Palpatine, like following a marionette’s strings to its animator.
But that’s hard to get across, and doesn’t make immediate sense as Kylo rummages through Darth Vader’s sock drawer.

Just updated the OP.

Here’s a revised stab at a crawl. I welcome ideas.

Episode IX
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

A shadow has consumed the galaxy. To suffocate the spark of rebellion, the First Order has scattered and isolated those with the bravery to face the darkness.

As Rey, sole heir to the Jedi, continues her training under the ailing General Leia Organa, their fledging Resistance gathers intel to forge a path to freedom.

Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren rages in search of his grandfather’s SITH WAYFINDER, determined to unlock the secrets of his former master’s power…

Yes, RogueLeader, THAT’S how you include Across the Stars.

Damn, that might be worth putting out one more version of my TLJ project. Wonderful work!

Poppasketti, that audio sounded great! It’ll do as a minimum but it isn’t quite perfect. In other words, it’s already better enough to be worth using, even if that’s as far as it can go.

And Jonh, could you post a screencap of just Anakin’s face from that clip? It’ll be a while before I’m at a real computer and I can’t zoom in! But the clip’s good! When I say subliminal, though, I mean the kind of thing some fans would miss and have to go see again with eyes peeled in order to spot. Maybe Chase’s approach would be better, with a subtle effect implying rather than showing.

That’s a lovely idea.

I’m with Ash, that’d be a reasonable de facto go-to ‘regular’ version.

I think Anakin ought to be included, personally. Before the movie came out, I wondered whether Hayden could have been given a partial morph into Shaw, but that might work for such a slight glimmer of an appearance.

You got it.

That’s some very nice work. However, I think the only way I would actually want to use it as if it is so subtle that it’s almost hard to notice on the first viewing.

That looks very good, though I question including it in a final product.
Assuming you’re planning to complete it for it’s own sake regardless, perhaps a super low opacity version to be almost subliminal could be cool.

What have you got to lose? Feel free to post clips if not a whole edit.

For safety, and PM sent.

Here is a list of things I’m currently hoping to get from others for this project, to consolidate it all for the moment:

• Lots of things from DominicCobb’s project, suffice it to say
• A crawl from Sir Ridley, once I get the wording nailed down (no hurry)
• Fixed video for the ‘squeaky wheel’ scene (be it FX wizardry to remove puppetry or cropping while processing the rough video and removing a few white film specks)
• Some sound clip or soundalike of masked Kylo Ren saying, “You were right” to replace “I never lied to you” before going on to say, “Your parents were no one.”
• More audio clips from you all of a battle cry, “For Skywalker!”
• The ghostly energy of past Jedi entering Rey, from Chase Adams
• Star Destroyer crashing over Coruscant for the finale (snooker)
• Star Destroyer over Coruscant as an establishing shot for the boardroom meeting scene
• Ben as a Force Ghost
• Faint double rainbow over the Lars homestead
• Purple blade for Leia’s saber during flashback and its use on Exegol

Just the garbage bag full of missed opportunities.

Cast your thoughts back about 8 years. “Star Wars Episode IX” shouldn’t be vanilla.

God, this fucking movie.

The haphazard pace and sequence of the movie is what made me laugh when [Whatever his name was] looked over at the audience and asked, “Whose ship is this?”

I didn’t mind it once someone pointed out that Leia was holding Han’s medal as she died.

We will complete the mission.

Your years of experience with this are coming to bear on this final chapter nicely.

I am tempted to yell, “TAKE IT! Take it…” before real life stabs me in the back.

I don’t, but they’re available on myspleen. They aren’t accepting new registrations right now or I’d send you an invite.

lol

Once, a boy called Michael Rosen just fell over and died…
