I agree. And the others were already pretty damn good.

I’ll go with version 3. Or 1, in alternative.
2 is probably the most recognizable.

What if we hear Jedi’s voices during the final Force lightning scene? I mean, remove them from the “Talk with me” and place them there, in a way to support Rey while she’s fighting Palpatine…
We don’t need to see Force ghosts talking, it would be like a message just for Rey to hear.

I think this could be the definitive version. If I saw this in theatre I would have been happy.
Now we just need the following “Force shield”… 😄

Getting better and better 😄

He is playing chess with Death now.

I mean… THIS is the Episode IX I wanted. It’s also so poetical: Palpatine, who struggled his entire life to find immortality, is finally defeated by his worst enemies, who actually managed to achieve immortality.
Can’t wait 😄

If you can make something that reminds me of this, I’ll find you and I’ll bow before you.

Thank you! I’ll wait for the “stronger” version and then I’ll choose 😉

!!! I’m speachless.
Could you do two versions, one that subtle like this and another that’s stronger, more apparent?

of course!!!in all the shots?
and one thing, could someone send me the clip in prores? of the blue ray?

This is phenomenal. THIS is what I was expecting from the final act of the movie.
Could I use this in my edit? Needless to say, I’d credit you…

That is one problem. I used HandBrake to downscale it to 720p (as all my edits). But there seems to be a problem, because image quality decreased aswell, especially on Exegol (where there is heavier color correction).
I’ll have to find out some other way for a V2.

Released in a couple of weeks I hope 😉
But again, I’m not that satisfied. I just want to have this released as a V1 (hoping that others will use some of these rough ideas) and then finish ROTJ 😉

Updated post description and added complete changelist
I suggest you take a look.

Nope. I’d really really like that, of course, but quality…
I have also removed that short deleted scene of rebels inside the Falcon during the battle. That scene added nothing…

I really enjoyed your edit of ROTJ. I really enjoyed how you made Palpatine show up at the beginning of the movie, it makes the chain of events flow much smoother and your new musical cues for a lot of the sequences was really a nice touch. A better perfect ending to me would have been adding Sebastian Shaw back into the mix, other than that…you have a winner. Keep up the good work!!! 😃

Thank you so so much 😉

I thought of a cool little visual effect that could be added. I didn’t really think about it until watching a video about it. The youtuber mention how interesting it was that Ben Burt added a small impact scratch effect the lightsaber had when it hits the stairs. Could there be a possibility a small spark effect could be added where the tip of the lightsaber hits the step on the stairs???

I’ll certainly try that. I’m just working with Sony Vegas, so the only thing I can do is look for a green screen spark effect… But it it looks ok I will add that 😉

I love what you’re doing. And I know some people don’t like having Force ghosts here, but I WANT them. At the very least Luke & Anakin.

Wow! I really like that. And the cruisers… I never even noticed that lighting was on the wrong side.
Thanks!

Ya I’m really enjoying Endor’s new look. I completely agree with your assesment on ROTJ’s colors. They are really ugly especially on Endor and Tatooine. I’m still not 100% sold on the music even though I think its cool. Good Stuff!

Thank you. About the music, that’s something I did in the whole saga. Added OT music in the prequels, and PT music in the originals, to give the feeling of something more cohesive. But I totally understand that many don’t like this, so… no problem 😉 I’m still not sure about the second one (the final part with Luke).

Thank you. I needed a response 😉
I’ll keep this then

And here’s a video with that sun-ish glow (and with new soundtrack).

Hahahahaha… I was kind of inspired by this. The background is sunny, bright yellow…

Thank you both. I’ll try this then. It will take more time than usual, because I’ll have to mask every stormtrooper to remove the glowing effect on their armor.

I’d really really like to know what you think of this.
