The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant (Released)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
