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.

Maybe that speech synthesizer could skirt by for a phrase or two.
Interesting, if option 1 ends up being the plan, anyway. Thanks!
Very cool!
Undoubtedly.
lol, okay you got me with the title. Did you change it or was it always like that?
Yeah, but without that countdown why is everyone hurrying? Even dead Luke has to hustle and can’t just allow Rey to process her stuff on her own on the island for a few hours or days.
And I don’t think I’ll end up removing Luke’s line. I know it’s a parallel to Obi-Wan’s, but we’ll see. Don’t really have a problem with it and the scene may be chopped up enough.
OP updated with a fresh revision of my ideas, removing several and tweaking some. Rather than cut and paste and denote 90% of DominicCobb’s thread’s ideas, a last item refers to it.
Here’s my current idea for a crawl:
Episode IX
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
The iron grip of the FIRST ORDER has spread to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Kindled by the feat of Jedi Master Skywalker, the populace of countless worlds have risen in defiance.
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 to unlock the secrets of his former master’s power, determined to suffocate any threat to his rule…
Honestly I wouldn’t even say that.
I love almost all the ideas you outline here. I don’t know why you insist on calling your project useless, and hope you’ll execute these ideas. I think “my” project would benefit greatly from your help with some of these. (“My” in quotes because it’ll be tough for me to spend any length of time on editing, given my life situation now.)
I like it! Perhaps the line “She didn’t tell me” could be removed also. With what we can all do collectively, I’d bet so, even if we had to use visual FX.
Me neither. I like it, even if I can’t quite picture it. I just remember Luke speaking about Palpatine stuff in what felt like an embedded way.
I suppose something like this could be nice:
“What are you afraid of?”
“Myself.”
Stern look
“Leia knew it, too.”
“She never told me/still trained me/whatever the exact line is.”
“Confronting [that] fear is the destiny of a Jedi… if you don’t face Palpatine, it will be the end of the Jedi.”
I’m not sure which option we will end up going with, and I remain open to 1 or 2. I think it’ll depend on whether 2 can be pulled off seamlessly in my estimation. I know a big hurdle will be the Luke scene.
Makes me sad that I would type “the Luke scene” about Star Wars Episode IX.
Those are both really good! I think I like the first better. That little musical accent on the shot changes really helps sell it. Excellent tweak.
I agree. TROS is a very poor conclusion to this whole thing, and it presents as averse to the sort of fan editing that became a cottage industry for the prequels.
