Hal 9000

“You’re going to kill him, aren’t you?”

“That’s why I’m here.”

The audio error has been fixed, as well as improving that one audio transition near when Maul appears in the hangar, and is being reuploaded presently.

There’s some damn fine sequences in there. I especially like the feel of the post-Phasma-shields sequence.
And the new music and arrangement as Rey taps into the Force during the duel.

Fortunately for me, I don’t think there’s much I’d want to cull for Restructured. Partly because you have put together a gordian knot in many places.

One thing can’t nobody argue with is that I finish projects. We’ll get there, and there will be a certain point at which the project will be 100% finished. Even then, though, there’ll always be more people can do with it.

Only with goats.

Thanks, Nev.

And I wish you rest, MR.

^MR, if you could add some FO TIEs to a 200% speed clip from the Biomes scene, that might be the ticket.

When people on reddit send me messages saying “whoa dude is this your project?” all I can say is “Ostensibly, but refer to the writeup; there are so many people who have done incredible things that I merely have compiled.”

“Han Solo.”

– Kylo Ren

I’m open to particular implementations of particular lines for Ben Solo, although the existing quiet for him works well. Any line wedged in there would need to feel worth breaking the silence.

And I’d say I’d leave it up to whomever wants to work on the milky eye removal. If that person sees fit to give her Sith eyes, fine. If regular eyes, fine. And if that person also wishes to add a flash of Sith eye during the flash of snake teeth, that’d be okay, too.

Also, sherlockpotter, did you stitch the very end of the “I am all the Sith” shot onto the end of “no match for the power in me”? If so, bravo, because I can’t tell unless I’m reverse engineering it. lol

In the interest of shuffling this thing a little closer to completion, let me regather some thoughts and ideas that are unresolved.

• Has the “you probably don’t recognize me because of the red eyes” 3PO scene redub been pursued past hashing out potential lines? That little cluster of related changes seems to hinge on whether that 30 seconds gets nailed or not. (Fortunately, those small handful of changes stand or fall together and the rest of the R&D has basically been done by this point so we have both options.)

• Who can remove the milky eyes from that one super short shot of Rey on the Sith throne from the vision? We also talked about adding classic Sith eyes when she appears on the DSII, although I don’t think it’s necessary and would be happy with just axing the milky eyes. (“Oh, no, she’s going to turn 140 like her grandpa or something!”)

• Is ‘Captain’ Hux being worked on? Is it just the one line from Kylo that would need to be changed?

• Sherlockpotter, is the “I am a Jedi” line about where you feel totally happy with it? Please send it to me once it is, preferably as a single-channel so I can mix it in.

• Is the “that’s not even a language” scene finished, or still in progress? Axlanian, please sent me what you end up being happy with and I’ll nail it down.

• Anyone up for carving out a replacement for the Vader Castle shot on Mustafar using the ‘Biomes’ short? While the existing one is still very good in my book, I think about anything anyone can do with that material will be at least as good. Could be as simple as cloning one of the TIE fighters to make it three and use that portion of the shot.

I think there’s only a sequence or two left. It’s definitely coming together.

Jar Jar occasionally babysat Leia on Alderaan before dying in the explosion.

At school.

Hal, did you already add your Wilhelm Scream into the film somewhere? Because otherwise…

It’s in there, somewhere….

Just the start of it and it cuts out quickly as the shot changes. It’s an Easter egg. Y’know, for the fans!

Or scream “NOOOOOOOO” as he falls into the Infinity Pit.

Now we’re talkin’.

Though you might want to avoid watching this edit when it’s done unless you are resigned to port more changes to Restructured 😉

I take this warning seriously.

Whoa, nice work! I know I’m late in congratulating you but that’s really cool.

I stand corrected; blue is right.

I love being able to get a better look.

I’m looney to be thinking this, but would it be easy to make his saber green instead? Could be a subtle way to suggest the events tapped into the existing mythicism surrounding Luke, as people conflate it with his presumably famous green saber.

Just an idea, not even a suggestion! I really love the way this looks. I never knew TROS would give us something this nice.

I really don’t see substantially modifying the culling and arrival of the civilian fleet.

And that could work with Sith voices lingering and whispering, maybe. Like I said, I’m open, but aren’t actively pushing the idea!

Thank you for reminding me!

You could! Would be fairly simple and could be a good learning exercise.

Most people around here prefer Shaw, and I personally have no desire to present the Hayden ghost in ROTJ.
