Shit, I noticed there’s an unfortunate audio error. During the little added snippet in which Sebulba used his vents on Anakin, the center sounds come out of the right side.
I’ll have to do an audio-only fix and reupload. Mercifully it’s just the audio stream that’ll need changing.
Even the DOTF ending doesn’t take the story much further than ROTJ, and certainly no further than pre-TFA events.
Maybe that’s the point of the trilogy: nothing’s ever final and the cycle will play out. You can despair or fight anyway.
Maybe a falsetto one too, cuz y’know… species.
Anyways… since Dat_SW_Guy appeared to drop his project of extending the ending of the film due to either personal/technical reasons on his end, is this still being considered and/or has someone decided to try working on this?
The scene being the Falcon going into space above Tatooine so the end song can end a little more triumphantly before it cuts to the credits.
My stance is a general openness but I don’t feel any need to modify what’s already there, which I like a great deal.
It’s cool there’s 500 pages, but we really don’t need to add to them with stuff that isn’t important or irrelevant. We aren’t going for a polesitting record.
And thanks, oojason.
I disagree categorically. I don’t consider any fan edit “definitive,” unless for me personally if I adopt one as such. They are inherently derivative and alternative. If that’s your concern, rest assured I’m not secretly supplying Lucasfilm with a master copy to overwrite the original.
And I don’t imagine going with layered dialogue for Palpatine for the entire movie. But I’d be open to considering using it in certain moments. Or maybe not at all, of course, but that’s the beauty of all this work. I kinda like the ambiguity of the Sith thing, and this would sort of channel it through a straightforward presentation.
I really doubt anyone would ever notice, and it’s plausible it’s just another scene of their show by that point.
And about the Palpatine voices. I wonder if that’s just a little much to cram into the scene. I like it, but it could be confusing, resolving an ambiguous thing about Sith consciousness at the eleventh hour.
I had not, and that music never became an ear worm for me. However, with the lossless audio output for the project it shouldn’t be super difficult for you to do if you’d like.
NO POSTING FROM PARALLEL UNIVERSES OR DIMENSIONS.
^ There you go. Perfect.
Ah, gotcha. Sorry for missing your nuance. Rey sort of moseys over to take a look so I’d think having “Skywalker” precede that would make it so early in the little sequence as to be unnoticeable.
Hard to say until I play with it.
As someone who does like TRoS, I just feel like some changes miss the original executed meaning of specific things/plot points/whatever and/or undermine those.
That’s the point of a fanedit though… to change the meaning of specific things and plot points to the editor’s executed meaning.
But as I stated, the scene with the children establishes a connection with the galaxy in just TRoS (as if it were a standalone movie and not a sequel) and raises the stakes. It’s more personal and thus meaningful than just reinforcing TLJ. The heroes are fighting for the future of the galaxy, which the children symbolize.
I don’t even totally disagree. But I think it’s worthwhile to accentuate Rey’s identity and how the legend of Luke comes into play.
It’s a funny image, Krennic appreciating a puppet show.
Also, in fairness to Testing, there are certainly edits out there that seem not to grasp what they’re altering and function in a reactionary way. I don’t blame him for keeping alert about that, but sometimes it gets old.
My face made a super candid, dumb little kid expression of genuine excitement.
That is sublime. It couldn’t look any better!
I wonder if the “Skywalker” name could be timed to imply it’s what initially catches Rey’s attention.
I don’t understand what I’m hearing.
Haphazard answers:
I’ll use jonh’s updated ghost scene once he provides it. (Just the version with the four ghosts.)
I do like the ‘Captain Hux’ idea, so I’ll use it if the audio side of things pans out. Not a big deal either way, though.
And Faraday, those are excellent lines for him!
PM sent.
“There are many of us.”
Too bad his character was axed from my edit of Episode 3! But this is a pretty cool inclusion, so I am glad he offered!
I actually finally finished the puppets today! But keep in mind, I didn’t make them extremely detailed because they’ll only be on screen for like, 2 seconds. I basically just took Faraday’s puppet designs and turned them into actual puppets.
But I’m gonna try and film them tonight! So maybe I really won’t sleep. 😂
I don’t have time to give the kind of post this discussion deserves right now but it’s too bad “you are nothing” can’t be his final line.
I alter alt #1 is the best so far.
Man, you guys continue to tear this up. I feel like the bumbling parent wandering in and out of the room while amazing things are happening and meekly starting to say “let’s not get out of hand” before even that sentiment gives way to awe.
Jeez, that’s a wonderful makeup job.
Train an AI voice based on Hayden Christensen and use it to redub all of Anakin’s lines.
Nah, I don’t think that’d track.
If I had to, for hypothetical reasons, lock a cut this very day because there’s gonna be a theatrical exhibition or something, I’d probably go for leaving the rest of the dialogue alone save for the “I’m a Jedi” line. The music and sync would be untouched and we’d avoid anything seeming off. From the perspective of fan editing existing material to be suitable for a theater showing, it’d be the safer option. I think retaining “And I…” would alleviate the feeling that something’s off. Maybe it’s from watching the scene a million times due to jonh’s work, but keeping that as well as Rey’s grunt as she contends with the lightning helps it feel complete.
As others have said, this is a moment more important than just about any others that cannot feel off. And I’d rather stick to form by leaving something on the table if it leaves me with any doubt. I’m confident that at least “I am a Jedi” can work, and that right there is something to appreciate.
I suppose worst case, if it turns out to be the make-or-break-seamlessness factor, we could always just let “I am all the Sith” be Palpatine’s final line.
Just saying. It’s a decent fallback if need be.
I’m grateful for you and others giving this movie that sort of dedicated thought that I just don’t have any space for anymore.
I don’t have anything specific to add, just that.
