Give some of them blood stains on the fur around their mouths.

That Lando introduced Luke to hot chocolate.

That clip uses the 2011 source and has to apply a lot of blue to fully mask out the thick green glow. There’s less thickness in the 19SE.

Adult Clint Howard, but reminiscent of that one episode of Star Track.

Fun fact: even the new Lego Star Wars game replaces the Aki Aki puppet show with the story of the Skywalkers. In that case it’s Anakin, but same difference, really. Just thought it was cool that the devs thought along the same lines there.

Cool! Do you happen to have a clip? I’d be curious to see it.

When Snoke is cut in half, Clint Howard scurries out.

I used OTD’s color corrected 19SE, because the 2011 is trash, yeah.

Even when I was using the 2011 as the source for ANH and ESB for my projects, I still went for the 19SE for ROTJ, because it’s easily the worse of the three 2004/11 transfers. (And to my eyes ESB is the worst of the 19SE, although I’m not sure 2011 is necessarily superior.)

I wonder if we’ll meet Luke’s dog. I hope so.

When Anakin’s ghost appears in ROTJ, he appears distraught and starts to say something about Exegol.

Using talk show interview footage from promoting TFA, add a new Leia line as Rey prepares to confront Palpatine in TROS: “Everbody dies.”

Yes

There’d 100% be a good Temeura line. I came across a bunch in for OT project so I can see about that if this idea pans out.

Also, I carefully cracked the code of making the perfect subtitles for the PT and OT and can use FCP7 to apply whatever subtitles to whatever shots may be needed in this.

I’d be up for Hayden ghost V2.0 as an experiment, at the very least.

fanediting was a mistake

Ermmm… yeah!

It’d be an arduous journey, and I’d be up for it if the group forms. And so I don’t mean this flippantly at all, but it feels like forming a secret club as a kid.

I’d be honored, but it would depend upon that council getting along and acting in good faith at all times.

We’d just need some sort of monarch figure to knight us into the position.

Step one: nominate someone to appoint themself monarch.

Step two: this person appoints members of the council.

Step three: the council now has absolute power over their domain and settle all matters internally.

Step four: the council must appoint, either deliberatively or organically, a leader figure.

If I’m included I would give it my all, but I don’t think I could be the take-charge leader since I already have finished saga edits and maintain them. Maybe a member who attends as often as his realm allows him to leave.

We drafting a legislative body to arrive at a purer form of fan editing for objectivized results? It gives the people what they want not what they need.

No, totally. It’s going to end up being pointless in a Rey Nobody cut. And I think you handle it about as well as can be. It at least feels like it could have been that way. It’s just that if it were, we’d be highlighting its pointlessness. lol

The scene feels hollow, but it is convincing as a real scene from THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (2019) if it had been that way in the theater for sure.

Ascendant removes the line from an earlier scene where Kylo says he will turn Rey to the dark side when he finds her. It felt unnecessary and would make sense that’s something he wouldn’t want to just blatantly state.

However, incorporating it here could give this scene… a little bit more of a reason for being. Hardly a dramatic revelation, but it’d be something.

Also, in this version of the scene, there’s no hint that something dramatic is coming in the next scene, though we do still know that he’s on his way and they gotta go, so I guess that still works.

The scene just ends up, “I pushed you in the desert because I’m going to turn you to the dark side.” No shit.

It’s hard setting down something that’s been so involved, like you’re giving up on it despite feeling you’ve done all there is to do. There isn’t really any stopping point that isn’t arbitrary. It just has to feel right.

RL, that Rey Nobody cut of Ascendant V2 is going to get made. And I want to see your ROTJ. If you just need someone to make the editing happen even, I’m sure I could find time here and there to help realize your ideas. I trust you implicitly and imagine there’s something there that ought to see the light of day if you feel that way about it.

And Nev, that’s a refreshing idea for ROTS that addresses a few things elegantly. Anakin more believable could be sic’d on the Separatist leaders right away than fellow Jedi. Obi-Wan steps down from moral purity and begins his lying habit. “I saw… a security hologram… of him… [whatever the most comical atrocity you can think of].”

I suppose you’d need to sentence mix Palpatine a bit to tell Anakin to go to Mustafar while the clone troops attack the Temple. Something would have to be done with the balcony conversation between Anakin and Padme to account for Padme worrying about him. And Obi-Wan’s lie would be oddly specific, to be fair.

Also, if anyone listening wants to make Ben Solo’s lightsaber into Anakin’s during the TLJ flashbacks, please do and I will be happy to make use of it. Would be the cherry on top.
