Hey dude I just wanted to let you know that since I really love how amazing these Harry Potter enhanced audiobooks are I’ve been giving them to people that I know like my full employees from my the restaurant I work at and some of my younger cousins. And they really like them. Like for example my 14 Year old cousin Isabel and her 3-year-old sister Brenna really like listen to them together during their free time. She told me they’ll try it a binge listen to a few chapters as it gets colder.

Cool, man! I’m really happy your friends and family love them.

I have no issue at all with you sharing the projects with others. Even though the fan editing community must survive in a private way so it can keep going, I do think they should be passed on and informed to others. You do not know how much I really want Star Wars reviewers on YouTube to find out about Hal 9000 and Adywan’s projects.

I know this is most likely in the sound mix, but I imagine the crackly sounds will be there once the remaining saber shots are done.

Looks terrific, Hal! The lighting and coloring in the Biomes shot matches how Mustafar looked in the film and Swedish forest fire shot.

I’m surprised nobody here has tried doing a mockup of her conversation with Luke, and only one person did a mockup of her confrontation with Palpatine.

I think RogueLeader’s mockup of the hanger scene is the best one, and I think the Force bond duel in Ascendant is fine the way it is.

Hey, Hal. I’m really sorry if I come across as too pushy with my questions and it gets under your skin, but if V2 is coming out around this holiday season, should we also potentially expect the Rey Nobody version around the same time as well?

Has anyone seen this short clip from Petrovelly?

The second segment is Kylo’s fighter on Mustafar.

Oh wow! That is really good. I’m still fine with not using it. Petrovelly did an incredible job there, but it does look a bit too video game looking to me.

How’s the progress on Rey’s eyes?

Hal 9000 said:

It’s absolutely going to come down to the crackly saber footage. The rest of it will be tied up by that point.

Awesome! Since a plugin for the effect was released. I imagine it shouldn’t take long to get done. Who knows, V2 could be released this November like V1 was last year.

So are we around 95% done on V2? I know the only things left are touching up on Luke’s ghost and finishing the crackly saber shots. Poppasketti and RogueLeader are working on those, correct? Sorry that it seems like I haven’t been paying attention lately, I’ve been busy working on my own fan projects.

So, there won’t be a V2, since you just renamed it from V1 to nothing.

By the way, Hal, I saw that in your “Things Completed” section that you renamed me from nl0428 to Master Lawdog. You actually haven’t from looking at the Special Thanks list.

It’s just there until I go through eventually and compose everything for a ‘write up’ for V2. Nothing to worry about yet.

Okay, I get it.

So, does this mean the youngling line won’t be in V2?

It’s been almost a month. How many chapters of the half blood Prince have you gotten so far?

Unfortunately not much at the moment. I’ve also been busy working on my other projects as well, mainly the Superman ones. Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows will obviously still come out, but I want to also pace myself to not burn myself out or get bored with the project.

I just noticed that Dat_SW_Guy finished his Mos Eisley mockup, I think.

This is turning out to be pretty spectacular! Sorry if it doesn’t seem like I’m contributing too much lately, I’m just eager to see V2 together.

I’m hoping and praying everything will go alright for you, MR.

This will be a really special holiday season if V2 comes out in the next few weeks or month.

I am now starting work on this project.

I think I may also need someone to do some VFX to digitally re-color Brandon Routh’s eyes from brown to blue in a few shots, since it seems they either decided or forgot to put his contacts in at some points.

I do have Chase Adams’ Darth Nihlus shot saved before it got taken down.

I believe if you listen closely, you can hear Anakin’s saber ignite faintly in the original audio.

I’m planning on TLJ, but not on TROS. Which might be ironic seeing how this edit ties in so well with Rey Palpatine, but it was originally intended merely to give Rey a more conflicted edge. With all due respect to TROS edits, the movie remains unsalvageable to me.

Understandable. I felt the same way until the community on this site did some incredible work for Hal’s edit.

Hopefully jonh will return soon. I assume he’s busy with his film career.

Also hope we get that Nihilus statue.

I forgot about that change too!

Hal 9000 said:

Interesting ideas, but it seems it’d be a little too much to pull off with merely audio changes. However, I think a ‘minimal changes needed to make Rey remain a non-Palpatine’ would probably be the way to go for the alternate cut of Ascendant.

What do you think of the sample clip someone did of the hanger scene where Kylo Ren tells her she will kill Palpatine and take the throne. Essentially, Palpatine wants her dead because he sees her as a dangerous threat to overrule him.

One thing I will say about Rey’s Sith eyes in this edit is that I feel they look a bit faded and not quite as apparent. I feel that they could be a bit brighter, kinda like how they appeared on Anakin in that one shot in Revenge of the Sith.

Also, I’m curious. Will you also be doing edits of The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, Nev?
