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.
Whenever I can, I’d like to see if I can add a reaction shot of Kylo right after the board room guy asks “and what does the Emperor ask in return” accompanied by a musical sting to kind of imply why he kills him for asking what seems like a perfectly measured, rational question.
Deepfake all Final Order crew with Palpatine’s face.
I’m not good at it either, but we’ll see how it goes. I’m sure DrDre or someone will do a good job.
Probably but I would apply that kind of thing last. And I’m sure some of us will come up with some good overall LUTs
Awesome. Well, there’s no hurry, and collaborator sounds better than servant.
Saying of which… Chase, if I could send you the clip of Rey standing up to Palpatine’s, could you apply your work to it to depict the spirits of the Jedi subtly powering her up? Unless your source material was fairly high quality. Just no color correction or other adjustment so that whatever settings are ultimately applied can be to most if not all clips added along the way.
Looking out over this project like
But, to you all
Yeah… can we have Luke haunt him?
Eh, doesn’t really fit in that well. Oh, well.
They had to make the most of what little Carrie Fischer footage they had, and making some sort of point to surround Leia handing her the saber was a way to do that. And having Leia’s own saber represent her reinforces that idea.
Come to think of it, TROS gives us Palpatine saying “Luke Skywalker.” Might be worth trying to edit into the hologram scene in ESB.
I guess that would require removing or recontextualizing the Leia flashback duel.
And probably not worth trying to preserve the ‘Leia senses the death of her son at the end of her Jedi path… someone who will complete her journey’ in that event.
While it is always crucial to provide fan-editors with a constant flow of new ideas and concepts, I believe the fundamental conventions that run this community dictate that when a fan-editor hears you out, responds to your idea and makes the descion to NOT work with it, the best thing to do in the situation is to leave it at that and not bring it up again. OR, do it yourself!
Not necessary at all. I’m more than okay with continuing to talk about it here.
Fair enough, I suppose, but I know you’ll have at least one taker regardless. I’m a scavenger with this stuff, after all, but it’d have to fit like a glove. Given that we get Palpatine returning at all, I like the film’s opening.
They could’ve done about anything if they’d planned it and more or less stuck with it.
If we could somehow do a wholesale saber replacement throughout and have her use Leia’s to replace Anakin’s which broke in TLJ, then Luke gives her his green one on Ach-To…that’d be an interesting experiment. But it might not work given how much dialogue is centered around “[Leia’s] brother’s saber.”
I agree. Should have been, but may not be able to just be implied. But maybe! But maybe not.
But maybe.
Interesting idea, and that’d ease the hypothetical platonic audience into Palpy returning. But I don’t think I’ll go that route myself. I’m happy to keep monitoring it and providing feedback, whether here or in the General TROS ideas thread.
