Just took a glance and it does look wonderful. Very clean image, much more pleasant to watch.
Who cares what Anthony Daniels thinks?
Anyway, if anyone were crazy enough to actually make his arm red in TLJ I’d use it too.
I’ll get some popcorn ready, and treat the microwave kindly.
Looks good from what a still can tell! I’ll look forward to more.
i recall someone being able to create dutch subs for the edit. does anybody know his name? Would like to contact this person. thx
Those are baked right into the final product for V2, and were done by “nevertellmetheodds,” as listed in the OP.
Let’s go! Would love to see this.
This still going on?
EDIT: I went looking for this film in this section of the forum, and didn’t see Octorox’ recent post. Sounds like we’re in good hands.
Sending.
Yeah, that’s a good point, since in Starlight that isn’t a reused shot. Man, Nev tied a Gordian knot with this project.
I like that one too. In the PTKFGS universe.
Include tear-jerking flashbacks of baby Greedo being hit in the face by Anakin. A victim of the Sith his whole life.
My biggest question is whether I’ll ever be able to come across the title ‘Starlight’ without mentally pronouncing it the way they do here:

Have TLJ head into the closing credits using the same music as TFA and TROS.
Here’s my revision of the SKB firing sequence. I plan at some point to get from Nev a version of the shot of Leia without the extra casually walking by, as the one in Starlight has also been slowed.

It was all a joke. I don’t plan on adding any more TROS peeks into the vision. Palpatine’s ROTJ line is plenty.
They are, at least at present, unchanged from the 19SE version aside from color correction from ohteedee.
Luke says, “You are a Palpatine.” Kylo Ren echoes this. Palpatine laughs and says, “My grandchild!”
I found the sound effect of that train when it first appears absolutely hilarious. It wasn’t the traditional krayt dragon sound (as heard in the '77/'97 versions of ANH or The Mandalorian), but rather the “krayt dragon” call from Ben Kenobi as heard in the 2011 BluRay. That absolutely ridiculous fucking sound, like someone doing a Michael Jackson impression in the restroom three stalls down.
I take this as a retcon. The OOT version of Ben’s call is indeed a krayt dragon, and the 2011/2019 version is this train.
That etching is really cool, but I don’t wish to strip it and use it myself, as it isn’t totally necessary.
And yeah… I gotta admit the dice scene is just this side of totally working, and I would like to avoid this feeling like a fan edit, even though that dice scene is hella cool.
Hehehe, that would be a good one.
I don’t really feel a need to use the falcon deleted scene, even though it’s effective in Starlight. It feels kind of superfluous to me.
I will attempt to make that shot of Kylo less red, and if I can’t I won’t use that little snippet.
I convinced myself of the added sound effect for the Star Destroyer while typing this. lol
The panel on the falcon lighting up is so subtle, that I don’t really feel the need to use it. To me, the falcon going to lightspeed is enough, as it is enough for Han to find and he references this later… in a line that has been cut. Hmm, okay, yeah, that does make sense now. I’ll use it.
And the dice scene is something cool, but I can’t tell if it’s just me that finds it just slightly weird. I plan to use it but I’m on the fence.
I don’t want to get into TikTok, but I bet there’d be a chuckle or two in one in which 3PO mentions that he was built by Darth Vader.
I didn’t do any editing today but did inspect things and determine what I plan to steal from Nev’s project. These are hopefully unobjectable changes that won’t ruin TFA:R’s niche for anyone. If anyone would like me to share reasons for not using this or that other change, I can.
Poe’s ladder retracting
The glow before Kylo activates his saber to kill the guy I was convinced was playing Ric Olié is removed.
Undo the dawn effect when Finn wakes up on Jakku, since it should be later the same day as Rey is already at the outpost. Having it be daybreak only works if you restructure scene like Nev does.
Remove “cute boyfriend” repetition.
Use the Han dice scene, for the fanmade magic. I’m not wild about using music from Solo, but it works for the moment, and Williams did write that theme.
Shorten Maz’s trek across the table
Add the new shot of the pirate ship to show Rey intends to follow Finn (really cool)
Restructure end of Maz battle with Finn running earlier.
After “bring him home,” new quick scene of Kylo watching the weapon charge, using two shots deleted from other scenes.
Use a few new shots for the SKB firing sequence, to no longer rely on a reused shot of Leia. Also, I will use his Leia reaction shot that paints out a casual background extra, and hopefully use his version of the way the music ends as it goes along well with Leia’s movements.
Use the cool shot with the binary beacon from TLJ.
Add to Rey’s Force vision several overt mentions that she is Palpatine’s granddaughter.
I appreciate the feedback on these ideas. I think I will go ahead and use the dice scene, due to the sheer fan magic involved. Nev bothered to include a message in the first post of Starlight’s thread saying anyone may freely use any parts of it, so I’ll take that as license to just determine for myself what is good to import to this.
In Restructured as it stands, Finn and Rey know where the Resistance base is located, but go to Maz’s castle anyway. Han just says, “If you want to get BB8 to the Resistance, Maz Kanata is our best bet.” And then he asks her to get the droid to Leia. But Maz tells him to do it himself, catching him in trying to pass the back and implying he could have done it himself.
Eh… I guess that makes enough sense.
