Looks perfect.

I like this idea. Could you do me a favor and scale up the rainbows then drop the opacity way way down? Curious what that’d look like.

Something like this or even more subtle?

That’s nice! The double-ness of the rainbow even ties nicely into the whole twins thing.

No, a version where the physical him sees ghost him.

Joke fail, I was just kidding.

I’d just also request a version where he is present simultaneously physically and as a ghost.

Or maybe brighten or pink-ify the added footage to roughly match the look of the main footage. Or if you reuse Vader’s castle, possibly with Krennic’s shuttle removed, do the same to make its atmosphere feel the same as what follows. (I’m sure the planet still had lava, right?)

That, along with the crawl mentioning his “grandfather’s” wayfinder, would be pretty neat. Makes it feel less arbitrary that “two were made,” since it’d be more clear that there was one for each of two Sith.

I do like the concept and that’s not a bad mockup at all. Nice find with the volcanic footage!

Oh, and should Kylo’s scar from TLJ be further healed for that brief moment on the bridge?

What do you have in mind for your project about the Sith fleet?

When Leia is dropped off on Alderaan in ROTS there is a double rainbow in the sky, so something subtle to that effect may be nice for that reason, too.

Was it something done as an effect or was it the natural weather on location?

Absolutely.

I appreciate it, but 3PO makes enough subtle head movements during those lines that I doubt it’d be worth the effort and seem like something was removed.

Unrelated: One thing I would certainly like to see is the single shot onboard the destroyer that blasts Kijimi altered to depict the crew as First Order. At minimum replace their insignia, but anything else would help. I can’t remember if their hats don’t match what we see of the First Order officers. The helmeted people are unique, and while that can be fine, it’d be even better if their helmets could be replaced with those we see at the start of TLJ worn by those working the main guns targeting the Raddus (the big black helmets that cover their whole head).

Awesome. Thanks in advance, and don’t expend an inordinate amount of effort if it stops being fun.

Lol. It can be tedious finding good dialogue for 3PO from cartoons and stuff.

Not really needed, but I think it’d be cool to change 3PO’s interaction with the troopers. (“That’s not even a language!”) He should just haplessly be trying to find protocol to attend to, not necessarily aware that the troopers are hostile.

I do like the moment as it is, so it’s just an idea.

Maybe it has to do with upgrading to an SSD, but now FCP7 seems like it’s going to take foreeeeever to encode TLJ and TFA, so it may be a while before I really get started with TROS.

I like it!

I’d support that idea and use it if it can be done.

Kylo Ren throwing that guy up onto the ceiling is JJ throwing us up onto the ceiling for asking reasonable questions.

There’s been talk of adding Coruscant if the Ewoks are repurposed to witness the Falcon crash landing. And maybe depict Kylo’s destroyer as being above Coruscant.

PM sent. Make sure to run it through your antivirus first.

(Kidding!)

I’m starting to think that without any other footage or delete scenes to work with, it makes sense to go ahead and tell us Kylo is searching for Palpatine. 😕

Lol

I have no problem with that moment and wouldn’t want to chip it away.

Nah.

I am pleased to be encoding a V4 for TLJ:L. It’s just got a few things that poppasketti was gracious enough to supply from his V3 efforts. Those things are:

• Adding Rey’s voice calling out to Finn immediately prior to him waking from his coma, to gently tie into his Force sensitivity that was not bridged between TFA and TROS

• A puff of blue smoke rises from Snoke right after he is cut in half, out of focus in the background, providing a very subtle clue about his nature (though I did not use the flash of red Sith eyes as he is stabbed)

• Special effects during the deleted scene with Finn and Rose on the shuttle have been spruced up by poppasketti, including adding floating debris and fixing the perspective of the planet

• The shot of the rebel alliance insignia ring at the very end has been removed

I don’t think that I’ll revisit TFA and TLJ after this (and fixing a video glitch in TFA:R V4), even if you all keep coming up with cool stuff. I have revisited them once each following TROS to tie into it in appropriate ways, so I think this will be it for those two.

I mean, it should be trivial to add one, so… sure!

Oh, no problem! Are you talking about the very end, though?
