If the scene already had music I’d just try to work in a single instance of the “dun dun duhduhduh, dun dun duhduhduh.”
Something about communication being cut off would maybe help bridge Poe’s sense of despair and the enormous civilian fleet that musters once given the chance. But something else to serve that purpose could be put in its place.
Cool! I wonder if there’s ever been an alternate recording of the track. That may help it feel like it’s what was originally done.
Lessening it would be welcome at least, it seems.
Not scrapped, but not committed either. If I had free time I probably would.
Here’s another take on a crawl:
Episode IX
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
The iron grip of the FIRST ORDER has spread to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. To suffocate the spark of rebellion, all communication between neighboring systems has been silenced.
As Rey, sole heir to the Jedi, continues her training under the ailing General Leia Organa, the fledging Resistance gathers intel to forge a path to freedom.
Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren searches relentlessly for his grandfather’s SITH WAYFINDER, to unlock the secrets of his former master’s power…
Ah, I see. I’m sorry, I haven’t been in a place to pay quality attention when I check in.
It sets up the necessity of using the wayfinder and the nebula of insanity that serves as a barrier.
I like the opening. We see that he has to find a thing to get him to Palpatine, no dialogue, quick. I don’t see myself removing it, since there’s no alternative scene or anything to use in its place.
Does a single setting applied to the whole film do well?
Not saying it should, but the opening crawl could spell out that the planet we open on is Mustafar.
Maybe something about how Kylo “searches relentlessly for his grandfather’s SITH WAYFINDER to unlock his former master’s power” or something.
Maybe a floating space sign?
I’d prefer a LUT so as to retain picture quality, since I’ll be exporting my work in turn for others who may do the same.
Hmm… TFA:R no longer names Hosnian Prime onscreen. Inserting a shot of Coruscant into TROS:A may be slightly confusing. I’d do it anyway, because it’s not a real problem, but something to consider.
Ugh. Gross.
I agree that the fact wouldn’t keep me from using her voice anyway. It’d probably need to be that way, as removing her from the Poe scene would be a lot of work.
I wonder if they didn’t have Leia say “always” because they decided for her body to vanish subsequent to that moment.
I wonder if it’d be at all doable or even a good idea to have her vanish right after Ben’s resolution after talking with Han.
To dive in, yes. To swim to China, nog really, but maybe they’ll be some chow mien waiting for me.
Again, I expect to be mostly an MC, more like I was for TFA:R.
I’ll wait for the BluRay.
Hmm, I don’t see anything there. Is there a specific moment you can direct me to, or a screencap you can show me?
I’ll look at that, too, thanks!
I agree that would help, but I’m sure even if the film were like that we would have all accepted it as Endor anyway.
I like the idea a great deal. If the montage can be edited together well, it’d work.
That’s great, snooker!
Wowee, 17 years…
We’ve certainly come a long way. Anyone else remember passing around LaserDisc rips on physical DVDs through the mail?
Love it.
