Since we’re re-scoring the film, what do you guys think of using tracks from games like KOTOR, STOR and Shadows of the Empire (an absolute masterpiece of a soundtrack).

I used this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F80bFdUqkg&list=LLsWtMZobefiq04JNuS2jFLQ&index=2&t=0s) in my Chosen one edit. Min 3:30.

Do you have a workprint? I’d love to check it out.

Nope 😉 I still haven’t rendered anything. I still have some small audio parts which need work 😃

Edit: I don’t know if you were talking to me, lol.

I think idir_hh was asking you, hahah, but I’m curious to know what workprint is

Hahahah 😉 I guess it’s a work in progress version of an edit.

I can’t wait to see a fan edit!

I’m just waiting for the finished ghosts to add to my edit and then it will be released, lol.

Oh, ok! Thank you! I’ll reduce it a little bit!

ps: fanedit

Please, tell me what you think of it. If it’s not ok, I’ll remove it. I already like both lightsabers the way they are.

Thanks. 😉
About the X Wing… I was trying to match Rogue One’s look. I thought the engines were pretty purple. But I just re-wacthed it and they are more around pink, I guess.

About the Death Star… I won’t argue personal taste 😄 De gustibus non disputandum est. I kinda like that, especially because I hated the previous blue.

New comparison shots.
I’d really like to read some thoughts.

I think so!
💪💪💪

I admire your commitment and determination. You’re an inspiration to us all!
Not to mention the fact that you literally experiment with every single idea we throw at you. Even if you don’t like it, you just do it! Bravo mate! 👍

Definitely agree. He’s very respectful and inspiring.

Thanks, I’ll keep working on it 😉

Lightsabers sparks video.
So… here you can see a small part of the new Endor glow effect.
Also the white blade of the lightsabers is enhanced. And I added a glow effect at each clash. I think it looks ok.

What I want to know is what you think of the sparks. Are they too much?

Can’t wait. This keeps looking better and better!
Bravissimo!

I actually got the idea from him. 😉

I think I found an acceptable way to do this…
Opening: camera pans down to black. Then we just see hyperspace tunnel and the Falcon (shot from TFA trailer).

About the whole Palpatine… the first Resistance meeting is all about the fleet, not Palpatine. In the crawl there are infos about a rumored old Imperial fleet built by Sith Cultists (it’s way more believable to have the fleet being built during the times of the Empire, IMHO). No mention of Palpatine here.
Then, during First Order meeting, dialogue has been rearranged so that Kylo and the officials know about the fleet and that’s all. At the end, Kylo says: “My knights and I are going hunting for Exegol”. It sounds like a strange word: “Hunting”. But then we cut to Mustafar, so now the word makes more sense, considering that Kylo slaughters people.
Just after the encounter with Palpatine, I added the fortnite message. As background, I added a shot of Coruscant and another of Yavin IV, suggesting that this is heard all over the galaxy. And after that I placed here the short sequence where Rose, Poe and Charlie-From-Lost hear the message on the radio. This scene happens BEFORE the crew leaves for Pasaana.

It looks like bantha’s escrement, let’s face it, lol.
I’ll try something else.

Thank you!
So… I have another problem here.

If the first part of the movie revolves around the FLEET, and not Palpatine, how can I make the Resistance find out about him?
Kylo finds Palpatine because he goes to Exegol, but how do Rey and the others do the same? I cannot keep it a secret, because Kylo tells Rey about Palpatine…
I need a scene which can be used to pass the info to the Resistance.

Perhaps use the Palpatine speech from “Fortnite” to reveal the return of “the senate” to the resistance.

Yes, that’s what I thought aswell. But I don’t know where to put it. The resistance meeting scene (the one “Somehow Palpatine returned, blablabla, secrets only the Sith knew”) is already used to make them find out about the Sith Fleet.
Anyway, I’m trying to re-arrange scenes to make this work. I won’t make any promises.

Thank you!

Force Shield concept V1

A surprise, to be sure, but an INSANELY welcomed one.

Change of plans.
I’m trying to re-add the first Falcon scene, and use it as the opening of the movie. Then cut to Rey’s training.
Kylo will find Palpatine later, just after the meeting with First Order officials.
Problem is… I don’t know how to start the movie after the camera pans down post-crawl. I tried a linear soft wipe from the starry background to Falcon-in-hyperspace, but I don’t really like it.
Any ideas?

Whatever solution you come up to for bridging the crawl with the hyperspace shot (I stand by Starkiller’s suggestion) I’m totally onboard with this. It would be strange for a Skywalker Saga film to not open with a starship. Even TLJ kept the tradition.

How do you plan to edit the First Order boardroom scene? Because half of the dialogue is about the fleet. Are you going to trim it, or pretend the FO knows about the rumored fleet and that encourages Kylo to go searching for it?

Actually, I’m going to state in the opening crawl that there are rumours about an old Imperial fleet hidden in the unknown regions. And that’s why the First Order wants to go there. It was snooker, if I remember correctly, who came up with this idea.
It’s not definitive, though, because I’ll have to manage the fact that Kylo talks to Rey about Palpatine, and I don’t know how to make the Resistance find out about him being alive.

Thanks, I’ll try that. Do you remember which TLJ edit it was? Or the editor’s name?

Really looking forward to this. The prequels trailer is wonderful.
