Hey, Hal. I just noticed something about your current version of this edit. None of the additions/changes made in the 2011 Blu-ray are present. Did you use a HDTV source for this current version of Episode III? If so, I was wondering why you went with it? Better coloring?
[Didn’t mean to post.]
Okay. This is how I think the scene would best play out.
“A thousand generations live in you now. We’ll always be with you… but this is your fight.”
Completely remove Luke telling Rey to take both sabers with her, which I wasn’t the biggest fan of the line. I think Rey should make that decision herself, rather than being told to by Luke. Very much like how in your edit of Episode II, you removed Mace Windu instructing Anakin to talk to Palpatine about taking Padmé back to Naboo, in order to make Anakin come off as competent and mature. Leia’s saber is something Luke is offering to her, feeling Leia would give it to her at some point when she was alive.
I’ll admit, I agree with Movies Remastered. I would have removed the line, “You’ll take both sabers to Exegol.” I think Rey should make the decision that Luke offers, that being Leia’s saber.
There is a blue and green color in the theatrical version when she ignites her blade. Changing it to blue and purple assumes she used Luke and Leia’s crystals from their now broken lightsabers to create her own.
Okay, but blue and purple don’t create yellow when following how colors are made. Unless the color of the blade will be changed too.
I will admit, I don’t understand the change in recoloring the lights on Rey’s saber to blue and purple. Why and how will it look in the end? Just a little confused.
I am so hyped for V2 and the Rey Nobody version. The Fan Editing Community truly is amazing when it comes to saving movies in franchises we love.
Not just yet. Still working on a V2 for the film proper.
Sorry. I’m just so eager based on what’s been accomplished for this edit.
I’ve been having a really bad habit with memory with this thread recently, due to putting more focus and attention into my own projects. Has there been discussions for the Rey Nobody version yet?
What is this I’m hearing about giving Rey Luke’s green crystal? Put it in Anakin’s saber?
Plus it is a long film as it is.
Just curious if you consider runtime to be important when fan editing, Hal. Personally, I find it a bit irrelevant when it comes to delivering the best quality edit you can make out of a movie, no matter how much is removed and added in. No offense if you feel runtime is important. That’s just how I see it.
If you read it you will be unable to unsee it so…
look at Rey’s feet in the wide shot of Rey running. First, the lightsaber is discolored as red. Second, she is kinda floating since her feet don’t actually touch the ground.
Holy crap! You’re right! The discoloration of the saber is only in the reflection in the water. Rey does look like she’s walking in place, like an unfinished game bug.
I think it’s a nice scene overall, but as I stated a couple pages ago, it would suck to have yet another anti-climactic moment in a movie that is already full to the brim with them. And that scene in particular had a huge buildup which comes to a crashing halt in the name of a joke.
There is also the problem of missing visual effects that appear when Rey is running. This makes me wonder if it would be possible to remove that portion of the scene. That way, there aren’t missing visual effects and it doesn’t build up suspense for as long. I would personally be more interested in the scene then.
Regardless, this is probably best reserved for a TLJ thread.
I agree that it’s best reserved for The Last Jedi thread, but I don’t know what you mean by missing VFX. It looked pretty complete to me, apart from the the sunset background behind Luke and Rey looks a little incomplete.
Honestly, this is just me, I would’ve added the deleted scene of the third lesson back into The Last Jedi. I understand why you didn’t add it in because it revolves around the caretakers, which you removed, Hal. I didn’t mind them too much, and I also would’ve added back in the moment of one of them eyeing up Rey.
Are the VFX for the crackling saber done yet? I don’t think it has been done for when Rey fights her Sith self.
Also, happy late 400 pages!
No problem, Muffy. I’ll start work on Order of the Phoenix in a few weeks.
That should be someone’s post signature here.
Pee on the grate,
What!? LOL!
If anyone still subscribes to this thread, I have a request to make when it comes to lost deleted scenes. This is for Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
The DVD release contains an abridged version with commentary from Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, and if you insert the DVD into your PC, it contains a link to a now defunct hidden website on the Warner Bros site that shows all the deleted scenes in their full form.
User squeakyboots13 uploaded those scenes onto YouTube, but the video quality is very low, which he says is how they were presented.
I’m not entirely sure if there is a preservation of these scenes in standard definition or even high definition out there, but if there is, could someone here provide me a link to them?
Hal, after V2 and the Rey Nobody cut, would you consider having this thread published?
Thousands of years from now the pages can serve as documentation of contemporary discussions of the ways of the force, only to be (nearly) destroyed without being fully understood.
Not to sound egotistical, but I would kind of be honored to go down in history this way. 😄
I know that this is for The Last Jedi, but wouldn’t it make sense to leave the line about “bridging their minds” intact? Even when it begins, both Ben and Rey are confused as to how they are being connected. Unlike The Rise of Skywalker, where it seems as if Ben is the one making the connections, in The Last Jedi, it happens at pure random.
Thanks, I’m looking forward to doing the last three books.
Again, I apologize if my questions seem very dated, but is jonh working on a version of the Force spirit sequence that has Sebastian Shaw as Anakin?
Hey, Hal. Gotta say, I’m sorry if I seem impatient for the release of V2. Part of my OCD is wanting the project to be complete and finished to everyone’s satisfaction
Ladies and gentleman! The Triwizard Tournament has begun! Goblet of Fire is now finished and available!
