I’d… I’d say let’s let it go. 😃
And snooker, hearing that you enjoyed the commentary makes me feel happy. Hope you’re doing well.
I really do not notice anything at all off in the color of the TIE, and have begun encoding video. But if poppasketti wishes to revise it at all, that’s fine. Just please let me know soon, as I have everything else about ready.
I really enjoyed watching this, and I’d rank it about at the level of an average episode of Mando. I appreciate the restraint and/or budget that allows for non-explosive, smaller stakes stories like this. It’s just Boba Fett, Tatooine, and sand. There were a few instances of characters and things popping up I could have done without, the biggest being Max Rebo. These weren’t anything to get bent out of shape about, but I feel the show would be stronger for omitting them. But it was very pleasant to look at Morrison and I look forward to what comes next. Boba Fett never seemed to me like a terribly interesting character for sustained storytelling outside of miscellaneous bounty jobs. If the events of this series were told in the medium of a comic book I wouldn’t probably have even read a summary. But I’m glad to have this show to enjoy. Much like my thoughts about Rogue One, I’m happy to relax a sense of criticism on this one.
Seems odd for the Sarlacc to have a stormtrooper being digested, as Tatooine didn’t seem to have much of an Imperial presence outside of the search for the droids during ANH. I’m glad they handled the Sarlacc without showing the SE beak, that was nice.
I’d never fall asleep on Tatooine. Poor Luke must have had nightmares about a Machamp coming up out of the ground to get him.
That Rodian prisoner has such emotive, unmoving eyes. Another great instance of SW having the audience project emotion onto a motionless face.
Hey jonh! What a pleasant surprise. Does anyone remember that scene in Superhero Movie (spoof of Spider-Man) where a bunch of different animals start humping the hero?

One other tiny thing I’m adjusting for the V2 reissue is to tweak the single shot of Jakku to be a half step closer to how it looks in Starlight. 😉
Welcome, jonh! Just sent you a PM.
PM sent!
And that’s awesome feedback, CaptainFaraday! Thanks for passing that along. I like the glimpse into how others see this who have no involvement in its making. 😃
I’ll fix that too, thank you! Glad you guys had a good time, and that the edit seems to be really working with people.
Fleet sounds good to me! Just performed the grade again (just applying skenera’s LUTs to varying degrees). Just need to tweak the audio side of things a little more, hopefully tomorrow, and have Ash do new DTS encodes and then I should be good to re-render and reissue things for a fully complete V2.
I can imagine having up to 8 minutes of fun finding the right shot to replace the throne with in that vision, so consider it done.
Very much on that note, it looks like I’m going to totally have to redo the FCPX grading process, since relinking files is not working. Should take probably a good hour or so, so not a big deal. The danger is, of course, fixing my mistakes but then making new mistakes.
I just got done showing my dad, who introduced me to Star Wars, your Sequel Trilogy, Hal. He went crazy over the Force ghost sequence tonight. I’m real happy that I was able to make him happy with these edits, everyone. Well done, Hal, and everyone else who contributed with ideas and VFX.
We are all hoping we can contact jonh again.
Awesome, man! Really great to hear.
Very nice! Could you dial it up a little? Kylo’s is a little stylized and different than it looks onscreen. Doesn’t have to grab your full attention, but maybe a little stronger.
And I’ll include this in the cover artwork folder!
I don’t really recall anything too special about the first one, but I could put the audio file out for it if desired, or the TinyEncode version. I don’t want to do all the work to bring it into sync though.
Yes.
I think we need a version of this poster with the slight crackle effect added, from a hi-res source.
It will probably be at least a little while before I fix those errors, in order for all feedback to come in first, and to enjoy some Christmastime.
However, what’s there now is perfectly watchable and fine.
D’oh! (Pie d’oh)
I don’t think that jives with Hux and the other officer’s reactions. They register an immediate, credible threat as soon as they infer what she’s doing.
Thanks to all for the expressions of enjoyment and appreciation, both in the thread and via PM! There have been too many to respond to individually, but I’m so glad this was able to get out when it did.
You all deserve it! Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwazy Kwanza, a tip-top Tet, and a solemn, dignified Ramadan.
It does for me.
Yes we do, baked right in.
There’s no way that should be the case, knowing my process. But I’ll check as I do the eventual reencode. Thanks.
Yeah I don’t know if it’s my display, but I redownloaded it to check and the grading still switched. There’s another oddity with that scene too. I didn’t notice it in the changelist, but 0:45-1:07(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yfZcUC2rB_I) are missing. We go from Rey calling Poe a difficult man to Finn suddenly talking about just landing. I don’t know if that was intentional.
That was intentional, yeah, to remove the lightspeed skipping reference. It… had a lot of discussion multiple times, so I don’t want to go into it, but yes it’s intentional.
Also, I can’t verify any apparent color change at that moment. Looks fine to me, and the way I applied the color changes at the end of the process, there’d be no way for the setting to change right then. It’s an edit point earlier in the process but not then.
Just wanted to wish everyone here a very happy holidays!
And…if the edit will be re-rendered anyway, might I suggest one final tweak to the finale in the spirit of the season?

That’s wonderfully put together! When I reissue V2 to address the issues, let me bake this into the gag reel!
There’s no way that should be the case, knowing my process. But I’ll check as I do the eventual reencode. Thanks.
Really enjoyed watching this again. Not sure if this was noted by someone before, but the color LUT doesn’t seem to have applied to the scene after Poe and Rey’s argument. The color grading completely changes between those two scenes.
Which two scenes exactly?
D-O: “W-what is that?”
Rey: “It’s the Death Star.”
Pie: “This was the Death Star.
