There’s gotta be somebody on this site with access to 4k Rogue One. Right?

Damn that looks really creepy and sinister. I love it. Really would blend in well with the rest of the shots as well.

This is the last post I’ll make about this I swear haha.
Anyways, I don’t think it’s important that the castle looks menacing. It’s not supposed to be in its prime. Here’s a terrible concept picture I made in 10 seconds on paint:

Yes, it appears that the shot is already reversed and inverted.
If anybody is still interested, I think a good first step in making the castle appear more abandoned is removing the glowing “windows” of lava on the front of the castle.
Otherwise, it’s probably best we halt discussion on Hal’s thread.

Fair enough. Using footage from other movies does sometimes make it feel a bit too fan-edity.
It’s crazy how many of these changes that we still needed are suddenly being finished! Great work everyone.

Whether using the one I suggested, or if someone else wants to put one together, I feel like you need an establishing shot of Vader’s castle.

+1

Oh no, I think you misunderstood me. I do want both to be in the edit, but I just don’t want Movies Remastered to have to do his work all over again 😃

It really depends on how ruined we want the castle to appear. Ideally, someone could add some cracks and small pieces missing of it in the TIE shot. That way the far away shot by Movies Remastered wouldn’t necessarily have to be changed.

Oh man I don’t remember seeing that shot of the ties in front of Vader’s castle that looks wonderful. We probably didn’t go with it because we didn’t want to reuse footage from another movie. I could look past that though. Although, I’m still of the opinion that the Battlefront footage doesn’t work unfortunately.

Yes I didn’t really know the proper terminology.

Hmmmm… well we could always pretend that’s another Jedi master of her species. But yes, it probably would be best to remove that.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread before, but just a niggle regarding the Shaak Ti death. She does actually appear later on in the film during one of the Jedi Council scenes, though if I remember correctly it was in hologram form so it could be feasible to edit her out.

You might be thinking of Aayla Secura. I’ve personally never noticed her appearing anywhere else in the film.

I would assume the Knights are saying that they get his teeth when he’s dead. Obviously they hadn’t executed him yet.

I realize this is technically the wrong thread to ask this in, but since jonh just confirmed that the Hayden ghost is the only way to go for the Palpatine fight, why does Hal’s custom SE of Return of the Jedi still have Shaw?

^ and after the haircut is done, jonh plans on adding Anakin into the final shot with the Force ghosts on Tatooine 😄 the whole Skywalker Force ghost family will be together

My only problem with this is that Rey doesn’t know Anakin at all. Idk. Hal has the final word.

On another note, I’m not entirely sure what the new version contains compared to the one from August. It says it has like 500+ more MB of data but nothing changed drastically. Is this because of an AI upscale of the deleted scenes?

Just want to point out that there is a small audio issue on the latest version of the edit. Right before Palpatine says, “I need your help, son” there is a musical cue that begins to play, at least in the older version I have. However, this is missing in the latest version, making the jump between the deleted scene and the higher quality scene much more noticeable.

just came across this on reddit from a guy on YouTube named JXEditor, thoughts?

Palpatine’s line sounds incredible. It would be a shame not to include it. Not so sure about Kylo though. The voice actor says the word “clone” too quiet.

97% sure deleted scenes will never be released. They have other things they could release that would make people even happier, yet they’re not doing it… so I just feel like it’ll never happen.

It’s just a shame that all of that work went into the Mustafar deleted sequence. The amount of puppetry involved in the Eye of Webish Bog…

Lightspeed travel has been depicted as rapid travel, not teleportation. It’d be like me having a jet plane, traveling to various places on Earth. It still takes me longer to travel to Paris from LA than to New York City.
What I see in the lightspeed skipping sequence is randomly popping up all over the globe, which doesn’t make sense.

Yes, but you have to think of that jet plane as travelling at the speed of light. At those speeds, the difference between traveling to Paris or New York City are mere milliseconds at best.
My problem with the sequence isn’t the speeds, but rather the fact that the TIEs can follow the falcon through lightspeed.

I know you won’t make any more major updates, but can you remove Rey translating what Chewie is saying to Luke? I’m talking about this line, “He said you’re coming with us.” It feels like, after three decades… Luke doesn’t understand Chewie?

I believe we already discussed this and the BB8 whackamole joke. I personally would like to see both removed but I’m pretty sure we decided against it for some reason.

This was his last post:
"Hey all, I know I’ve been inactive e for a good minute but I wanted to provide an update. I am still working on the crackling saber, progress has been slowed a little, I’ve recently had a cancer diagnosis in someone very close to me, so I’ve been doing some casework. Things have taken a turn for the better recently. I’ve still been chugging along when I can with work in after effects and will post content when it looks good lol

But I am alive and still very much working om this project!"

But then why does Palpatine seem to gloat as he describes Darth Plagueis not being able to save himself from being killed? Shouldn’t he just be Plagueis?

Maybe because Palps killed him in his sleep and the person being killed needs to consciously transfer their spirit to a new host?

Wow I never considered this. Makes a lot of sense. I believe he may have also been drunk?

Hal 9000 said:

And Cinefy, I do plan to see about putting that extra Qui-Gon line in there, but when the ghosts are all chattering earlier.

Maybe get rid of one of the Jedi voices that don’t have a purpose being there (Aayla Secura, Luminara Unduli, etc.)

Qui-Gon, Bring balance to the force line, placement idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erp6ijEQkDs

thought this could be a nice place to put it, but might need to be more subtle.

I think Anakin’s line serves this purpose better. “Bring back the balance, Rey, as I did.”
