Hey, that’s perfectly fine! Whether Poe is daring or the mission is daring, he’s certainly trusted by Leia, and I don’t really have a desire to put the crawl (or Ridley) through another permutation. It’s not like I would just tweak two words and hit export.
You might be right about secret. I don’t know either, so I’m hesitant to undo something and regret it. I like to do a deep dive, nail it down, and then surface again. Lol
I think it was because we wanted to make the mission “daring,” and needed something to describe Poe. Not entirely sure, though! I suppose one could say that his “trustedness” goes down at the start of TLJ.
I’m not looking to revise the crawl for TFA:R, as it requires Ridley to go through a big rigamaroll, and I’m genuinely all right with what it is at present. I’m hoping to button up the revision and then probably be finished with this project for good. Well, at least until the next Starlight-type project blows it open again.
Great to see R2’s light like that. I notice the Falcon traveling much closer to the Death Star in that one shot, which is cool.
The blasters. I tend not to like efforts to make the blasters in ANH or the OT look similar to subsequent depictions by adding a core, because it never seemed to blend in right and would often be too thick. This, however, is totally perfect. Looks pitch-perfect in its goal and does not at all feel out of place. Color me impressed.
R2’s light looks good, but I wonder if mimicking Adywan’s effort for Revisited back in 2007 a bit closer might help further. When R2’s light changes in Revisited, it seems to get darker during the transition, and I wonder if that helps sell that some mechanism is pulling a tab. Here, the color just changes left to right and can feel like a digital alteration. I’m not sure how else to get at what I mean.
Stellar, man!
If Obi-Wan encounters R2-D2, I’m not sure which I’d prefer…
“Get out of my way, random droid! I don’t have time for random droid nonsense.”
or
“Wow, hello there, old friend. Good to see you again. But next time we see each other, let’s pretend we’ve never met.”
Another thread to keep a close eye on. Sounds like an ambitious changelist, and I have learned my lesson about underestimating what’s possible. I like several of your ideas, so I’ll do what I can!

Feel like what?
That is the true burden of all masters.
When Rey looks off to the distance before she and friends head off on their mission toward the start of TROS, add the ghosts of her parents.
Looking at it in print, it feels weird to capitalize the name without capitalist JEDI MASTER, and capitalizing the whole thing is too much.
Only General Leia Organa’s band of Resistance fighters stand against the rising tyranny, certain that JEDI MASTER LUKE SKYWALKER will return and restore a spark of hope to the fight.
That is an interesting idea, having the droid talk about searching for underwater villages at that point in the film.
I guess we’ll just have to work on the EddieDean Exhaustive and Complete Star Wars Saga Overhaul.
I’ll look forward to ROTJ as well, especially RogueLeader’s ideas. Personally, TPM feels tired given my history with it.
Welp, here’s how Fett turned out in ESB and ROTJ for this project:

^ Eh, I wouldn’t want to count on changing TROS’s crawl, and to me it’s perfectly fine not to have CAPS. If there’s something to capitalize, great, and if not, that’s all right. One consideration is that TLJ capitalizing THE FIRST ORDER probably helps the fist sentence be presented all on one line nicely and without being spaced out too much. I’ll probably just respect how RJ had it.
This first month of TPM doesn’t really have a pudding to find proof in the way Ascendant did. Ascendant channeled a phenomenon with many factors working in its favor, not least of which was the lockdown.
I dunno… perhaps a ‘final product’ of sorts could be pursued for each thread, which can terminate when you feel it’s matured. Maybe a demo reel of the finished products of the collab, which could be made available in high quality for others to take home and actually use for themselves. Just an idea that I’d imagine helping me if I were on top of this thing.
JEDIT: I will say that it seems you’ve lead this trial month well! And even though I haven’t had the time or headspace to contribute, leastways to TPM, it’s seemed to be a healthy process.
Sure that’ll be made available regardless. I’ll take that as a vote for caps.
Also, isn’t it exactly what you wrote? lol
Heard that the new ‘Courtship of Princess Leia’ replacement book will feature them honeymoon aboard Disney’s own starcruiser.
I… don’t imagine it feeling good to read about.
“And then Han marveled at their selection of drinks, spacious accommodations, and fabulous atmosphere.”
“Leia thought to herself about how she would tell her friends to book their reservations now, as the attraction so clearly justified it’s price and waiting period. She had never been so relaxed and fulfilled in her royal life, and she attributed it all to this wonderful resort with its star-class experience over marrying Han. She couldn’t wait to tell her childhood friend Winter so she could book her tickets at Disney.com/GalacticStarCruiserImmersiveStarWarsExoerience.com and use promo code “LeiaSolo” for 1% off when she books a four-night stay.”
Battle of Exegol, the Starcruiser is there, and the camera zooms in to see families of what appear to be Earthlings vacationing in there using footage from eventual home video cameras from attendees (wearing t-shirts and jeans and with unflattering raw audio from the camcorder), probably playing the game that depicts a battle. Then that ship gets shot down while charging one of the destroyers.
I rather like this crawl, then. The remaining two questions are whether to use ALL CAPS (at all or for two names that were already ALL CAPS in the prior film), and what font “The Last Jedi” should be (the font it used originally, which was used for ROTJ, the prequels, and possibly ANH or the one used by ESB, TFA, and TROS)? One thing to consider about the second is that for the eventual ‘Rey Nobody’ version of TROS: Ascendant I was hoping Ridley could reexport that crawl with the only different being that it would use the font used in TLJ, as a play on the difference between visions for the ST.
The FIRST ORDER reigns. Having decimated the peaceful New Republic, Supreme Leader Snoke gathers his remaining forces to seize control of the galaxy’s central star systems.
Only General Leia Organa’s band of RESISTANCE fighters stand against the rising tyranny, certain that Jedi Master Luke Skywalker will return and restore a spark of hope to the fight.
But the Resistance has been exposed. As the First Order speeds toward the rebel base, the brave heroes mount a desperate escape…
Comp in the new starcruiser hotel in nearly all major space scenes throughout the saga.
Here is my attempt at a coloring of a darth jar Jar fan art to look as if its in bacta. Possibly to replace Snoke in the Snoke tanks.

Sending now.
Would you like to remove scratches from the single shot of the DSII blowing up in ROTJ? The current best version I’m aware of is from 4K83, but that shot has some scratches that weren’t able to be removed through automated cleanup due to the nature of the shot.
I use this in my ROTJ project and I think it’s the only shot I need that has scratches like that. Could certainly provide the shot if you’d be interested.
Do you think I’ll remember to get some at the grocery store this weekend? I don’t.
