Hello there,

Your edit sounds great. Could I get a link too please?

Thanks.

Hi, does anyone have a link to itshadez’s ROTJ minimalist edit please? Not sure he uses this platform anymore and it’s the ROTJ edit I’m looking for. Or alternatively if anyone else has done a ROTJ edit where all the SE additions plus Hayden are in but minus Jedi Rocks, that would be great. I tried to do it myself, but couldn’t get an edit of the film with the Jabba’s subtitles still there for some reason. Lepti Nek can be included but not essential, just cannot stand Jedi Rocks. Thanks 😊

Have you looked at the FAQ at the root level of the link?

Yeah, it says ‘unknown error’ in my Google Drive. Can you resend me the link so I can try again?

Thanks 😊

I’m having issues watching or downloading any of the versions. Can anyone help please?

Oh cool… could I get a link too please? Thank you 😊

And adding aome foley or something to smooth out Finn’s sudden appearance (my only issue in what I think is a superb edit so far) 😊😊😊😊

Just a thought, sorry to labour the point, what if Finn’s line of ‘we just landed’ is replaced with foley like crunching leaves etc, giving a bit of breathing space in his sudden appearance. I still think though that Finn and Rey (the best of best friends) basically ignore each other by cutting out the previous scene.

As in, instead of ‘I made Snoke’ it could be ‘I trained Snoke’ Could work if you can find trained or a similar word said by Palpatine. Doesn’t bother me either way to be honest.

Does anyone here have an interest in making Snoke out to be an apprentice of some sort of Palpatine? Since the vat of his clones have been replaced, I think it could work, but it would also result in the removal of his line, “you have ever heard.”

I would say WP5 is absolutely perfect except that ‘ta-da’ Finn scene. Everything else is absolutely spot on and I’m amazed at everyone’s efforts to pull it all off… natm i like your ideas about how to cut that scene and think it should be given due consideration.

I think the rambling is just as pointless as “power converters” or “moister vaporators” or “speaking boche” or “thermal oscillator” or “compressor adding stress on the hyperdrive” or “GIVE ME THE HYDROSPANER!”

When audiences see the original film they see the Falcon flying into different parts of space rabidly and they hadn’t seen that before (set aside that it’s stupid). The question is then “what is that??”

Answer in the film and canon; Lightspeed skipping

When watching the film now with Lightspeed skipping removed we see the falcon punch through a solid object while moving into hyperspace, something we have never seen before.
Question. “Didn’t the last time we see a ship fly into something at Lightspeed it destroy almost a whole fleet? Why doesn’t this maneuver destroy the falcon?

Answer: “you Lightspeed skipped? You can’t Lightspeed skip the Falcon!”

The audience now knows that the maneuver Poe and company did by punching threw the ice wall is different and a risky maneuver with an in-universe name. With a simple line of technobabble the question is settled. Without it, the question remains, “why were they able to punch through the ice wall?”

If we had not seen the act of Lightspeed skipping before, if we didn’t have that context, I don’t think that line would be in contention at all.

I understand everyone’s reasoning, I’m sorry that I’m harping on it I mean no offense, just want to explain my thinking. The added bonus is retaining one of the very few interactions we have between Finn and Rey.

Perfect.

Well, here’s the scene with a temp audio clip for Palpatine. Could select a different portion to use, but having the static conclusion to prompt the crowd reaction seems to work.

JEDIT: https://vimeo.com/442206729

I know I’m banging on about Palpatine’s message, but I really like llFanEditore’s mockup of it. Any chance it can be considered for this edit?

That’s very nice indeed.

COVER UPDATE

Trying to get it to appear in the forum but no idea how to do it. LOL

No, you wouldn’t add run time at all, you would rearrange the scenes in a slightly different order with Palpatine’s message playing over interspliced scenes.

Though the Skywalker ghosts watching the Falcon/sunrise as an ending shot is a neat idea!

Hey, I remember pitching something like that a couple months ago 😃

what if we put ourselves in the shoes of someone that has never seen the movie and watches this cut, they have never seen any press about Palpatine’s return, but the first they see of it is on Exegol when Kylo meets him…what if, we keep the suspense going a bit longer…

The problem is that even in this hypothetical where someone’s never heard anything about Rise of Skywalker before, there’s never any suspense at all surrounding Palpatine’s presence. Adding more runtime to the movie isn’t the same as adding suspense to it. It just drags out the confusion and busywork. It doesn’t actually add suspense. I’d argue it’s more impactful just to drop him in the movie ASAP (skipping straight to Exegol) because there’s nothing to the atmosphere of Kylo’s “quest” to find him.
