Lies! There’s no PM in my mailbox!

Sorry I meant I send one to Ziggy. My bad.

Sent you a PM. I was convinced that since Petrovelly made it that it would be cinematic quality but I guess not!

The chorus in this rendition of DotF totally reminds me of the moment Luke snaps against Vader in RotJ. Which has the same effect of giving the scene a feeling of sadness and defeat as the hero gives in to the dark side.

The crackling of Rey’s saber only makes this implication more apparent.

This video explains perfectly why i can’t enjoy this movie with the 'Rey palpatine" plot

Fortunately I don’t feel the same way as you. As soon as we have a v2 of the current edit I’m sure Hal will begin work on a Rey nobody version.

What they’re doing is very grey, legally speaking. Then again, so is fan editing in general. But their methods more so.

So apparently that animation is already finished, too. By Petrovelly (says so in description). But only viewable on their SubscribeStar. Doubt they are willing to share it, either.
IMO just kinda sucks that this fan editing community’s manpower is being divided because the Fixing Disney Star Wars team is using financial contributions.
EDIT: I realize they likely wouldn’t be able to create that Mustafar shot without that money, but it still seems kinda scummy imo.

Can you add a credit for Harrison Ford? Because he is uncredited.

Most people don’t even watch the credits. Seems like a whole lot of effort to add that for such a minimal effect.

Since you reminded me, I went ahead and replaced the DOTF snippet with the actual OST in higher quality. I put it in place where it was, and extended it backward to the beginning of the track.
What do you guys think? Too heavy?

Looks good to me as well.

I honestly feel that the only change the initial castle shot needs is the lava windows to be dimmed. I say this because the forest could begin further away from the castle.

This is the concept that Cinefy made. Definitely something like this should be the end goal here.

The difference is that one person believes that there still exists humanity in this damaged shell of a man, the other seems to think this is prime boyfriend material.

Yeah I purposely exaggerated the details in that post. Was mostly pointing out that it really depends on how you frame these things.

It’s also worth pointing out that Luke wanted Vader to come back with him, which indicates that he sees him as prime father material now that he has redeemed himself.

The good news is that it is most likely a pretty easy thing to remove if you don’t like it. I have an edit of poppa’s TLJ that removed a bunch of small things I didn’t like about TLJ.

Speaking of making their romance more explicit, it does remind me of a test clip that I found on my laptop that I totally forgot I made. https://streamable.com/pwg1wp

(would be interesting to see in Rekindled)

TL;DR version of this conversation: Most characters in Star Wars have Stockholm syndrome. Luke and his father. Rey and Kylo. Etc.

“A guy who is part of a space nazi government, has blood on his hands, including killing children, first time seeing his son battles him, chops off his hand, then potentially murders one of his best friends. Tries to prevent him from escaping the planet so he can brainwash him into a nazi as well.
Year or so later son decides that his father is actually a great guy deep inside.”

Sorry, couldn’t help myself haha

I think that Star Wars should be made with the common audience in mind. So, yes, it may have been better if they realized that these romantic signs should be more explicit for the audience. Then again, there is plenty in the sequel trilogy that would have been better had more thought been put into it. But it also doesn’t hurt to make those signs more subtle, leaving you wondering with a “will they or won’t they” situation in the end. IMO there is some big payoff with the kiss at the end.
Regardless, this is Hal’s edit, so he has the final call on this. I’ll cease my chatter on this topic now.

Oh boy, there we go with the sarcasm again. Lol.
In all actuality there are some interesting marriage parallels. We call it, “taking somebody’s hand in marriage” after all.

I don’t know what trilogy you watched then haha. Nearly every scene they have together is very intimate, but of course in the wrong way because Kylo is evil. Thus why Rey says in TROS: “I did want to take your hand. Ben’s hand.”

That is HILARIOUS. I am so disappointed that wasn’t in the original film

Chewies medal is explained because Leia is holding it as she dies in this edit. Therefore, it represents both Leia and Han for him (the medal belonged to Han originally)

As for the Reylo kiss, it makes things come full circle in the saga. Ben really did complete what his grandfather started: saving the one he loved from death. The kiss helps sell the idea that their relationship can be compared to Anakin and Padme’s.

Desktop worthy content right here

That image is so cursed.

Wow, Dawn of the Jedi is actually a cool title for the movie 😀

Especially considering the fact that the movie ends with a binary sunrise.

Movies Remastered said:

Both myself and 21 Peasant finished the Vaders castle shots. Are their others? What was the Coruscant shot, didn’t Poppa finish those to?

Oh really? I remember watching a couple of clips of this, but I don’t remember seeing a finished version!

What are we still waiting on for a v2? All I remember is that we’re pretty close.
