I personally don’t have a preference. I almost feel like I’d need to watch some of the previous movies to see if the credits music starts playing AFTER the visual transition is finished or when it starts. Because that’s the biggest difference between the two.
Is the “Captain Hux” ranking still being kept in with Faraday’s efforts ending?
Also, I meant to have this out weeks ago, but here is a sample pitch as to how we could try getting the line, “You’re just a clone” into the film.
Is that the same line SpeakingOfAi sent? Cuz it’s even rougher than I remember.
I’ve done it in novel format, if that’s of any help. Obviously this is more for ideas than anything:
"Ben,” came a young man’s voice from behind him. He turned.
The young man had long, curly hair and a slight grin on his face. His entire person was partially transparent, gleaming with a blue light, and adorned in the robes of a Jedi.
“I’ve been wanting to speak with you,” he said.
Kylo blinked. He could hardly believe his eyes. “Grandfather?”
His smile grew wider. “Yes,” he said, striding toward him. “In my true form. Not the lie Palpatine wanted you to see.”
“You’re just a manifestation of Vader’s failure,” Kylo said.
“No,” Anakin said, his eyes full of compassion. “Vader was my greatest failure.”
Kylo looked away from his eyes, gripping the snippet in his hand even tighter. Snoke had told him that Vader had suffered a moment of weakness when he chose to save his son over power. Another lie, it seemed.
“What’s that in your hand?” Anakin asked.
Kylo had a feeling he already knew what it was. He opened his hand anyway, revealing the small trinket in his palm. Its leather strap was looped loosely around his gloved fingers.
“I made that, you know,” Anakin said, reminiscing. “A gift for your grandmother. Before I took her life in my lust for power…”
“I’m being torn apart,” he muttered. “I want to be free of this pain.”
“Ben,” Anakin said, his face suddenly grave. “If I had only been selflessly devoted to those I loved, I would have avoided a lifetime of pain.”
“It’s too late.” It was something the voices in his head had always said. It’s too late for you. They’ll never take you back. But this time it was true, because: “She’s already gone. He’s gone.”
“Your parents are gone. But Rey isn’t. Finish what I truly started. Save the one you love.”
He stared at his grandfather, afraid to believe his words. Afraid of what he was feeling. Domination was all Kylo Ren understood.
“I know what I have to do,” Kylo admitted, his voice tremulous. “But I don’t know if I have the strength to do it.”
“I believe in you,” Anakin said. “And your father would, too.”
Kylo Ren turned, and launched his lightsaber into the air. It sailed in a high arc, far above the wreckage, and disappeared into a haze of ocean spray.
Ben Solo turned back around, and the ghost of Anakin Skywalker was gone. He was alone in the middle of the sea.
For the first time in more than a decade, Ben’s mind was clear. No longer did he desire conquest, only love. To give it to others and receive it. He stuffed the japor snippet back into his pocket.
Man that sucks Cap. Ah well, at least you got to do what you did while you could!
The best place to start would be isolating the trailer dialog of Palpatine: “And now your coming together is your undoing.”
Random thought of the day: would it be possible to replace Luke’s “Leia knew it, too” with “I told Leia” so as to preserve the surrounding dialog? I ask this because it’s definitely plausible for Luke to have manifested to Leia either by voice or Force ghost in the year following TLJ. Definitely still implausible for her to have come up with that on her own, though.
He shared all the finished shots back in January
Hello! These are the shots in which it has been possible for me to change Luke’s hair, there are other shots in which it is impossible: a thousand generations … it is impossible, for me at least.
I have also lost two kilos of weight to Lukehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1wxCRU-kV6rx8nPENzKqWPD3lBv0a2c4F/view?usp=sharing
I’ve gotta be honest: I could never tell there was anything wrong with the fixes jonh applied here. It all looks great to me. It’s probably one of those things I’d notice if somebody pointed it out to me but anything is better than the original lol.
Yeah he makes those comments quite regularly it’s meant to be a joke.
Do people seriously hate Hayden this much? Lol.
How is it possible for the First Order to be recharging the Starkiller? If it fired when the sun was depleted, do they have a spare sun? It seems to me that it was designed as a grand single-use weapon, or alternatively it would need to be moved after each use.
Think of it like this: when you charge a battery, do you use all of its energy at once, or do you use chunks of it at a time? That’s the same way Starkiller Base works in this edit. They used up a lot of the energy to destroy the Hosnian system. It then took some time to recalibrate the weapon to fire on the Resistance since it just ate up a lot of the energy. But my point is that there was some energy left after firing.
I think if the Biomes shot were to be included, a lot of color grading and VFX to change the landscape would have to be done since the Mustafar atmosphere in Biomes is based on Rogue One, not The Rise of Skywalker.
Our current shot is literally modified Rogue One footage so I don’t see this being a big deal. This is the one change I’m really hoping will make it in time for v2.
MR has been online recently every time I’ve checked the members tab (today included). So he’s likely reading these posts.
PM sent! Let me know of any changes that might be useful for a v2.
Let’s move this over to the general TROS thread.
Yeah that video I sent has an impression of both him and Palps. Sounds pretty good, I might add.
EDIT: Managed to install software on my laptop here and yeah… the audio just doesn’t work. Adam says, “what could you give me?” with a pretty deep voice, so it sticks out like a sore thumb.
It might sound better in the actual scene but as of right now I’m not sure about the line tbh. Wish I had access to my software rn.
This Palpatine impression is still pretty damn good I’d say:
Apparently other people don’t like the idea of Kylo saying “You’re just a clone” because it may lead the audience to believe that this isn’t the real Palpy. But that’s kinda countered by Palpy’s new line, “Kill me, and my spirit will pass into you.” So yeah, I hope he can do that one line for us. It’s a nice diss by Kylo (even though it isn’t entirely true). Even if Hal doesn’t want the line in this edit I would absolutely put that in my personal version of 2.0.
Oh geez just realized I posted that 30 mins after you announced that lmao.
By the way, I just reached back out to Speaking of AI yesterday to see how his Adam Driver AI model is coming along.
Has he responded yet?
If he has his prequel memories this whole time why wouldn’t he restore them before?
That was my first thought. You’re telling me that in the past 50 years together R2 never considered giving him the prequel memories back? Which makes me think he doesn’t have them to begin with.
The fixes to Luke’s lightsaber make me so happy. Nicely done.
He probs got confused because you didn’t put quotes around “No one”. I think the moment works better with her declaration of being a Jedi as well.
Hi. I don’t read all the messages of this thread, and the last time I saw TROS was in the cinema, so I have a question (if you guys doesn’t bothered to answer): In the scene of Luke and Leia training, what’s the difference between the new dialogue from this edit and the original dialogue from the movie? Just curious to know what improvement you are making on the scene, and how it helps to improve the film as a whole
We also replaced “you’ll take both sabers to Exegol” with “We’ll always be with you”. At least that’s how I remember it.
Is the the Skywalker blade still going to be cracked in V2?
That’s up in the air because MR just gave us the impression that he’s done here.
