Anything to remove the repeat of TFA’s final notes would be welcome. I wasn’t happy with a rough mockup of using the end of ROTS’ audio because the two don’t align well.
Can’t see the DO scene yet because the link was duplicated, but it’d be wonderful to see that brief scene in usable shape as a way to let at least a moment breathe.
The music test feels like it was legitimately intended for the scene. What’s the source? Was it indeed from the soundtrack? I haven’t really kept up with the nuances of this stuff this time around.
Not a problem, and it should be relatively quick and easy to do. If two frames’ worth of space need to be added (or un-removed, I shouldn’t be surprised to find out as was the case with ROTJ) at that scene transition, that’s easy enough.
Assuming that’s all it’d need. I assume 4K80 will also sync to this, but I could update it further if needed for that.
Why don’t I plan to send it to you, Star Thoughts, before I release it? (Can’t promise when I’ll be able to.)
Can you tell me where exactly the break in sync occurs? If you can show me the shot that has the two extra frames I shouldn’t even have to download D+80 and rip it and take the time and effort.
I’ll take a look when I can, but I expect we’ll do better to take inspiration in generating one or more LUTs to apply to avoid quality degradation and issues with consistency across sources.
He’s Supershadow for a whole new generation. Edgier, angrier, more aggressively dumb.
As things are, my version uses the SE for the entire Battle of Yavin. I would find it distracting personally to switch back and forth.
I don’t plan to revise it in light of that error, but I’d think more about it if I were doing an update for other reasons.
If we could get the shockwave removed from Alderaan or the continuity error fixed during the SE Biggs scene, maybe, but on its own I don’t think it’d be worth the nontrivial amount of effort it’d take me.
I’m not sure, I’m really not. I don’t savor making big changes to core events like that.
Reordering scenes for better impact, sure! Could you perhaps repost your idea for how they go, now that I am more familiar with the movie?
You’d lose the scene between Luke and Leia, though.
I’d suggest avoiding Jar Jar in particular, even if you use him to depict someone else.
Maybe his head could explode the second onward from which it would be possible for him to be edited around.
But yeah, Finn really didn’t amount to very much after going through the same arc twice.
I initially thought changing the planet to Naboo was unnecessary effort, but it might be nice. I can’t imagine not borrowing this if indeed it is fully realized.
Leia working in the shadow of her mother on her and Palpatine’s home planet. (Last seen briefly in ROTJ depending on what version you watch.)
Of course, it would be criminal not to add, “Wesa free!” to the background as the victors return to base at the end.
If someone suggested ducks, they are a genius.
Checks whether I removed Panaka’s line about ducks from COD

Poodoo. Still, mirroring or invoking the sound design heard at the Gungan sacred place would help a great deal with this idea.
But, and I’m a little reluctant to ask, shouldn’t we expect to see some gungans around this Resistance base on Naboo? Or maybe just one somewhere?
The first 1/3 of ANH. Luke was killed by the Tuskens. Vicious, mindless monsters.
I’m super busy with work and life, and feel that I have very little real creativity to offer this film.
So, for now I’m sort of stagnate. Like the updated OP says, I’m anticipating being an MC for this one more than ever. I’d like to compile and put out something, partly to round out the whole saga, and I know many here don’t necessarily want to commit to a full edit while they produce wonderful clips and concepts. But that only comes with time and patience.
The Endor thing is great! It doesn’t seem that it would even require removing the Ewok moment later in the movie.
Wasn’t aware of that! Could you tell me exactly which two frames were restored? It shouldn’t be much trouble to take care of; I still have my sources in place.
Not sure if it’s a good idea to license footage for something like this for a fee.
That optical wipe from the theatrical was omitted (probably accidentally) from the DVD release, and was restored for the BluRay.
The “nooo” was never altered, contrary to rumor. We have the theatrical DTS audio and it’s identical.
😃
Gotcha, thanks!
Season 1 episode 16, he says “relics of a bygone era” around the 12:30 mark. Again, haven’t tested it yet.
What’s the episode name? I got what was labeled as that episode and don’t think Poe is in it.
Not saying I am, but why do you ask?
The reforging of Kylo’s mask will be interspersed with similar flashing images from Rey’s vision, though clearer flashbacks this time. First we’ll see Kylo killing Han with Luke’s voiceover - “You killed him.” Then Kylo’s saber phasing through Luke with Rey’s voiceover - “You lost.” Then finally Kylo offering his hand to Rey - “Join me” - and her shutting the door on him with her voiceover - “Creature in a mask.” Hopefully giving some motivation for Kylo hiding behind the mask again.
So looking forward to seeing this! Just saying.
