Hey, Hal, not to sound unappreciative or sound like a spoiled brat or anything, but did you consider potentially having both the original and new commentary tracks on V2? Just curious.
Just got done listening to the brand new commentary track. Really didn’t expect that. I loved it and was great to listen to hear from Movies Remastered, RogueLeader, sherlockpotter and poppasketti. I literally jumped in my seat from “CHEWIE!” and loved Rey’s ultimate motivation to calling the lightsaber.
In all seriousness, I did have fun just contributing to this project, as I wasn’t around to contribute to your other projects, Hal. I’m glad that it was this project that had the most collaborative effort.
Hate to ruin the party… but “a thousand generations live in you now” is still in V2 even though it is in the cutlist.
Oh shoot, does that mean the whole film has to be re-rendered?
Honestly, I like the way how it is. I prefer the line, "You’ll take both sabers to Exegol to be the line that’s removed. It plays out much better this way: “A thousand generations live in you now. We’ll always be with you… but this is your fight.”
So the saber line was removed in V2? Honestly, I remember there was a lot of discussion about this scene, but I don’t remember what the final decision was. Maybe this is the version that was voted on, and the documentation just needs to be changed?
As ever, it depends on what Hal wants in the film.
Really the only thing that needs to be changed is just the change description in the OP list.

Fantastic work! Merry Christmas everyone!
Feels like Christmas is here. Thanks for the present Hal Claus! 😄
I think EBSynth would be more appropriate for the eyes thing.
Luke and Leia look like CGI because of the compositing; they end up with a “floating head” effect. Billie Lourd did provide the physical performance onto which the Leia footage was pasted, though.
Is there seriously only one thing left until the final cut is locked off?? 😮
The last few saber shots as well.
Actually Luke was footage from the OT, they had Carrie’s daughter do young Leia and used CGI that’s why it looks a little strange.
If anybody is even remotely skilled at deepfaking I’d imagine that Rey’s eyes could be taken care of rather easily. Yes, you’d be deepfaking Daisy Ridley’s face onto Daisy Ridley’s face but based on what I understand the eyes would be normal again once finished. Might be something I’ll look into myself eventually if it’s all we are waiting on.
It’s also worth looking into for the brief young Leia appearance in the flashback. Luke looks fine but Leia is definitely in the uncanny valley like her appearance in Rogue One. A simple deepfake should fix that.
They didn’t use deepfakes for Luke and Leia, they used footage from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi for that scene, but I see what you mean.
Hopefully it will come out real soon. Fingers crossed.
How many chapters now? Just checkin.
I’m currently working on Chapter 14. I do want to apologize to everyone looking forward to Half-Blood Prince. Lately, I’ve been kinda slack and getting distracted by other things, and it really is my fault. I’m going to try and get back on track today. That is my main goal and priority.
Hope you continue to have fun with it! Thanks for your hard work. I finally finished CoS this morning (been busy with other audiobooks as well) and it was a delight!
Thanks, man. I’ve thankfully have been getting back into Half-Blood Prince and I’m starting to get my food and fun back. It’s just that distractions and even mood switching to other interests can interfere at times. This is why I usually take about a month off in between books.
Keep up the good work Noah! The day you finish the whole series will be the day I start my complete relisten, which I’m hoping will be sometime not too far in the future 😉 I hope you’ll be able to stay motivated in the final stretch ❤️
Thanks, man. I’d say it will be sometime next year when I’ve completed Deathly Hallows.
You used any of those sound effects that I gave you?
Not yet, as I’m still a good ways away from those chapters.
Wow that’s More than I thought. You’re almost halfway through it. That’s great.
Thanks, Rob. I appreciate it.

Is it possible that lines referring to blood may still be left in? It could refer to the Dark Side nature and destiny, rather than a blood relationship status.
Or Luka Frik more likely, but that’s right.
Okay. Hopefully it won’t take too long. I know you’re probably excited to release V2. I suppose after that’s out, the discussion will move into the Rey Nobody version, unless that will continue on its own thread.
At this point everything other than the video stream itself has been finished. I just need a handful of visual elements, but I’m told it could be a couple weeks yet for those, let alone a little time to encode.
I see. So, essentially Rey’s eyes (NeverarGreat) and the desert and Kijimi sequences with the crackly saber are left in terms of video stream. I think the remaining stuff with the saber is being done by either poppasketti or RogueLeader.
Hi there,
Whats the process to access those of your work?I was looking for exactly what you have created.
PM sent.
Are you still planning on revising A New Hope like you mentioned with some of the changes back in September, Hal?
Thank you for combing through the thread, Master Lawdog! That’s the tricky thing about this project being nearly 600 pages long. Geez…
No problem. I just went through a specific user’s post to track down the important stuff for the time being.
So in the scene between Rey and Luke, everything from his haircut, to desaturating the blueness of his ghost to grading the footage to take place at dawn has all been done in one?
Oh wow! I was gone to get some food and video games to come back and find out that I’ve helped out a great deal.
I was only bringing something to mention, but I’m real glad I actually did something good for the edit. Your welcome, everyone!
You have brought hope to those in the galaxy that had none.
Thanks! Just waiting on NeverarGreat on Rey’s eyes. I also hope he gives her Sith yellow eyes when she flares her teeth too, aside from replacing the milky white ones.

^ I can’t be sure from my phone: do those Vimeo links offer downloading original file? A file that is ProRes or something similarly high quality?
I’m not entirely sure.
