My initial thought was that either the scene goes back in or the Caretakers go out. That’s their reason for being and without it they’re an afterthought that has the effects outlined above.

The scene itself is good, but it has unfinished VFX. And I do agree it’s powerful to have Luke and Rey’s last interaction pre-fallout to be one where you think things are just about to improve and Luke will turn things around.

If you’re just changing the ghost, you should be able to export a new video streaming mux it right in.

That’s because I didn’t redo ANH when I did the others because I’m still planning a revision for it. It could easily be a good while yet before its ready, though.

How about the Smaller 1080p encodes, are they coming for the Prequel Trilogy as well? The quality/size ratio is perfect, so it would be neat.

Eh… the 720p size is more appropriate for the PT edits due to a fair amount of DVD footage used. However, I could go ahead and encode the same smaller 1080p form factor if it’s wanted.

Can’t do that, because I’d like a ‘planetary celebration’ with Shaw, and don’t want another version or two to track and worry about when it’s a change I have no interest in. Again, all the resources are there to make that tweak for whomever would like to.

Rey mentions to Luke that the FO will control “all the major systems within weeks.” That’s what I had in mind, anyway.

Am I crazy or am I seeing a lighter toned space shot switch to the darker space shot after the crawl in V5 ends. I think I can see like a faint flicker as it switches from fanedit to actual movie?

Not that I can see when I look, but who knows. It’ll never match perfectly but I can’t tell anything. Sometimes the films do seem that way when the camera starts panning, as immediately background stars can be more visible.

I don’t plan to add Hayden to ROTJ, though, as it’s not something I’d like to see. As opposed to tweaking a background detail or something like that for continuity, I feel it sends the wrong message. To me it says Anakin had to revert to before his brush with evil rather than be transformed into the man as he should have been at the age he was when he redeemed himself in ROTJ.

However, since I make ProRes video and lossless audio exports of my edits available, it should be relatively simple as an exercise if you’d like to do it yourself.

That’s because I didn’t redo ANH when I did the others because I’m still planning a revision for it. It could easily be a good while yet before its ready, though.

I guess I’ll have to find a way to watch the TROS portion of it. Or maybe the whole thing; it’s not like it doesn’t sound like it’d have references and gags I’d get.

EDIT: Scratch that; gameplay walkthrough is ten hours. I’ll just hear the interesting bits relevant to fan editing projects!

Yep, and I guess I just forgot to mention it here, go figure.

V5 changes: New crawl to better get across the impression that the First Order isn’t a huge brute force but are making surgical strikes to take over the galaxy’s existing governmental structure, and a few other tiny things like adding a shot or two back into the scene with Chewie and the porgs and using poppasketti’s hood for Rey’s reflection in the mirror.

It does now!

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.
