We can only hope for more stories LFL doesn’t care about being allowed to be told 😉
The Falcon is always falling apart. I think you can safely assume work was done on the ship during the three years after Battle of Yavin. Among them, Replacing the lights in the corridor, re-aligning trim light in the cockpit, and the addition of new bunk.
Agreed, and yet Ady recolored the ones in Empire to green to match ANH and TFA
I don’t remember which animated show it was, but I remember him calling some other Darth “Darth” as well
This is not in any way my work, just sharing this here for anyone possibly interested. I am not the biggest fan of fan fiction, however I am liking this ongoing project which started off in comic form (linked below) and is being continued in novel form. So far, I find it justifies some of the choices made in TROS which I had trouble accepting.
The premise is this: It is several weeks after TROS. The galaxy is trying to reestablish diplomatic relations and peace. Rey is on a soul-searching quest on Tatooine, and is struggling to find purpose and to grieve over the loss of the second half of her force dyad, Ben. She has not felt him pass on into the force, and finds that he instead is in some sort of force limbo/purgatory (for which the author borrows a concept from Rebels).
Finn, Jannah, Lando and Chewie set off on a mission to find the long-lost parents of the First Order stormtroopers who were kidnapped when they were children and Finn begins awakening more of his force abilities.
Poe and Zorii go off on their own adventure which takes a left turn.

Watched it and somehow the different sequence of scenes throughout the first half (?) really made a lot of sense, in a slightly unfamiliar way! Enjoyed this one a lot! now to find a episope 2 edit that salvages the experience…
How far away from camp is Rey training that it’s sunny there and raining for Leia 🤕 (this works great otherwise!)
ADDITIONS (so far)
Extended Han/Leia kiss? 😉
[shocking images]
I mean come on…
holy crap
oh no
You can see here, the Obi-Wan plotline orbiting the Rebels extended universe
To none of my surprise, this is not going to be a show about a desert-dwelling Obi-Wan. I’ll check it out, but if Ben has a cute droid sidekick that he talks to, I’m turning it off.
TFA has the coda where Rey leaves the main plot to find her hope, and TLJ would have the coda where Kylo Ren leaves the main plot to pursue a new power.
And TROS has both of them riding off into the sunset!
Oh wait no that’s not it 😦
I’ve only gone through half of the cutlist, but so far, all I can say is: yeeeaaaaa! and also:
I want the Rey/Ben kiss.
I agree
hah, I also noticed the slightly red tie thing while watching, but didnt say, because I thought it was just something to do with my screen 😟
You know, I’m pretty burned out on this movie, I’m still heartbroken over how it leaves the universe with a whole load of nothing, but I hope everybody who worked on this feels accomplished, because this thing you all have created from TROS is definitely a grand accomplishment and I’m so glad to have witnessed it happening real time 😃
omit the “captain hux” change?
He’s definitely gonna pick up some power converters and I hate it.
Hey, here’s something I found on reddit: https://vimeo.com/647991392
It’s the death star II throne room scene, but with a kind of different pace and tone and uses some behind-the-scenes footage (1 min 18 sec)
And I feel like it’s fixable by having his underlying motive be to exploit the power of their Force Dyad all along.
What somehow makes more sense and is also even more of a head scratcher is the fact that that kinda was the idea during the writing (editing?) stage…
JEDIT:
Also, I understand that it is settled and binned 😄, but just in case I was not clear in my force ghost post, this was my ultimate suggestion:
what are people’s thoughts on having JUST BEN as a force ghost for that shot, replacing Mark and Carrie entirely
Also, can I just say how much I appreciate Hal providing the community with just about the maximum possible amount of the ‘fanedit resources’ he used for his edit, all in an accessible place for other editors to utilize? Just helps highlight the collaboration of it.
Yea, but not baffling. Palpatine called him Skywalker
I don’t know if this is the right thread, but a thought I had recently about Ben’s ghost:
This idea never quite sat right with me, and I now realize it isn’t just because it breaks the “twin suns” symmetry… And I think in principle, having Ben’s ghost is a good idea. In Jedi, Luke and his dad have a one-on-one convo before he dies. Then, when he sees the ghosts hanging out, he’s looking at his former masters and someone who belongs in their generation (much older than Luke). Three old guys who are dead, that each taught Luke something, in a way.
Rey and Ben on the other hand, are contemporaries! They also didn’t have a conversation before Ben died. So to me it seems weird that she’s looking off at her former masters AND Ben, who, really, doesn’t quite “belong” in the afterlife. If anything, it would seem more appropriate that Luke+Leia and Ben appear to her separately (I’m not suggesting this, because it would not really be possible to implement). Vader gets to die with some dignity after leading most of his life as an evil murderer. This isn’t Ben’s story. As per the movie, Rey and Kylo are two that are one. They share an spiritual intimacy (per the movie!) that I think is broken by the three-Skywalker shot. It just seems so distant. “Forget all that dyad stuff, Rey, I’m hanging out with my mom and uncle now, byeee”
Again, might not be the right thread, but with the assumption that some years down the line the edit will be revisited 😉 … what are people’s thoughts on having JUST BEN as a force ghost for that shot, replacing Mark and Carrie entirely?? So instead of Rey getting adopted, we’d get a kind of force marriage?
Episode IX
THE RISE OF SKYWALKERSupreme Leader Kylo Ren has traveled to Mustafar in search of a hidden power that would allow him to destroy any threat to his rule over the First Order.
Guarded by the fearsome creature THE WEBBISH BOG, the elusive Sith Wayfinder would lead the way to their homeworld.
With the Webbish Bog’s warning about Kylo Ren discovering his true self on the path ahead, he has begun to slaughter the Wayfinder’s ancient guardians…
Ah, the old [footage missing] workaround!
I feel like I have to counterbalance this with my own view which is that I concur with what has been said before: those two shots, as they are currently, don’t flow from one to the other, particularly the forest is not apparent in the castle shot. I like the 3 shot one better, although it isn’t perfect. But from what I remember, most planets get like 3 establishing shots in this movie (or at least several) anyway
Sounds tacked on to me (but then again, I don’t like the change anyway… I think having a more generaly general above him is enough to get across that he’s not as high up in the hierarchy anymore…)
I am once again asking for a l i n k to your expanded edition
Is he specifically not pulling them in because the knights are on their asses anyway and they end up leading the FO to Kijimi?
^ALLOL. And I agree. Endlessly frustratingly fascinating thing, this movie
