^ Not sure what you mean, Dom. If there are exceptions, the neo-fundamentalist-SW-orthodoxy seems to have failed out the gate.
And it’d be reeeeal weird to have a ~17 year old Ben Solo address Rey as ‘sweetheart.’
Surely that was intended to her mother or father, right?
For all the ‘everything is canon now’ hype, it still seems that TLJ really massaged and ignores some of the details from the TFA novelization.
I don’t mind that it does, but they just shouldn’t insist it was going to be otherwise.
I like the cut from “Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?” to “Not yet.” It ties into Windu being made to appear to Anakin as truly about to execute him in the next scene, rather than arresting him.
It’s a nice line, and has plenty of meme magic behind it, but this edit is from an alternate universe, after all. Midichlorian jokes you see in things don’t compute with my edits either, y’know.
I’m not sure. I don’t want to sacrifice even more of my 1 TB of Google Drive space that I use for all of my personal stuff also, and any versions other than the 1080p somebody could create for themselves anyway. And if I’m going to include those two versions, and additional 6 GB or so for the other two isn’t a big deal. I’ll probably include the whole shebang.
I’m doing a V3 for TLJ, and I’m just going to hold off on finalizing it until after seeing IX just in case. But I won’t revisit TFA unless IX gives me a reason to.
Yes, indeed. I’m glad it was pointed out to me, because it’s much better.
I never really got into TCW (or Rebels), but maybe I’ll give it another chance in a few years when my boys will be old enough to watch. I heard someone who showed their kids ANH then TCW, and they came to hate Vader as the man who would eventually murder Anakin.
Like an episode or a series? There used to be a podcast (The Gary Buseytown Massacre) that reviewed fan edits.
I agree with you about what about the scene raised slight suspicions. But, hopefully IX will be the last SW movie I’ll feel a little nervous for.
Ill just take a fresh look at it at some point and see about it then. It’s not too much all on its own, though gets to be a little cartoony. But at least with BB8, as opposed to R2 in ROTS, the cartoony physics don’t violate a well-established existing character. It’s no R2 popping out of a fighter or catching a walkie-talkie. (Still would love to see a recreation of that moment in which the comlink just bounces off R2’s dome with an ugly clank, leaving a slight dent, and thuds onto the ground. Just like what would really happen if you tossed a handheld phone receiver across the room at a physical R2 model.)
I’ve seen a few attempts to trim down the ‘water pipes’ gag with BB8 during the opening sequence, and tried making one myself, but never saw one that really felt right.
Can anyone recommend anyone’s work on this scene? Perhaps there’s a good one out there I haven’t stumbled into, but you have.

I’m pleased to report that our very own Sir Ridley and snooker have just provided me with the final three FX shots, enabling me now to commence an encode of a release candidate.
That takes considerable time, and my life is hectic right now, but it shouldn’t be longer than 2 weeks at the absolute most for this to be fully distributed, still well ahead of time for any pre-IX viewings.
Gift baskets or other accolades should be directed to Sir Ridley and snooker’s (separate?) dressing rooms.
Absototallutely.
In a week if I still haven’t received them I will proceed to render out a very watchable version to serve until I can put out V6 proper. It’ll have everything, all audio and subtitles and stuff, except those two or three shots.
It’s all completed except for one piece I’m waiting on from Angel. It’s worth the wait though! (The droids being removed from the birth scene.)
Hehe, that suits him. Maybe he’ll befriend a defected Resistance member, give him the jacket and nickname him ‘Funn.’
Can you use deepfake technology to replace each and every Rebel extra with forum members?
Done.
Render the opening crawls in Aurebesh.

I want to see what you’d do with the Hobbit. Would it be at all influenced by the book (versus films), or not so much?
I’d bet RJ was obligated to include Maz and Phasma in TLJ.
can i please get a copy of this?
Sending a PM.
Film grain wasn’t added once I switched to Schorman’s HDTV preservation as the primary source, which was either V2 or V3.
