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?

Hal 9000 said:

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.

Cinefy said:

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.

Not sure it can get much better than that! Easily could have been in the theatrical without me noticing.

Not sure how I feel about being called JJ of all things lol. (Just kidding, I actually think it’s kinda fitting for this).

Anyway, sounds like the Leia scene trims have been officially accepted? If so, great.

Gonna have to agree with MR here. I’ve been getting those kind of vibes from Testing. That’s why I usually try to put up with his things. Would be quite helpful to know.

Kinda crazy how mirroring footage makes it look completely different. I also noticed that Leia looked kinda mirrored in that scene when I first saw it.

Movies Remastered said:

As much as I would be against cutting anymore of Leia’s dialogue, This works really well. Nice work Sherlock.

I mean, the only line being cut is “No”. So nothing lost, really.

Burbin, I always thought that line was super meta and took my right out of the movie. Agreed.

EDIT: If you couldn’t tell, I support Sherlock’s clip. Obviously it just needs some audio work.

TestingOutTheTest said:

I’d be more of build-up. It doesn’t confirm WHY they abandoned her. Also in TFA and TLJ pre-throne room they already give out evidence and hints of Rey’s insecurities. (That’s also my Reddit post.)

In the previous Force bond scene (which takes place right before the mirror scene) Rey denies that her parents abandoned her, so it would kinda be a whiplash 180 turnaround moment imo.

How does this sound? Don’t have access to computer atm.

Rey: I need to finish what Luke started. Find Exegol.

Leia: No. Too long…

Rey: I don’t want to go without your blessing but I will. I will. It’s what you would do.
