I think the problem we has with Shaw is high enough resolution for the films he did around the same time. A lot were tv film in 480p or 720p.
The questions would be
When was That? I haven’t heard from him in ages. I hope his film is going well.
I think just like the one in TLJ.
Im with you. Not even 3 walkers. Just 1 is enough. Nothing to scale, nothing too detailed. Real basic but hitting the point in 4 second.
I knew he did ep.I & II. Didn’t know he did III.
Thought I’d go see what CaptainFaraday was planning for this same sequence for his novelization rewrite. Might be good for inspiration:
“Let’s split up, see what the locals know,” Poe said.
He and Finn headed off, but Rey’s legs were suddenly rooted in place. A pair of Acky Acky were performing a puppet show, and one of them had just used a word she recognised.
“Di sana berdiri Skywalker!”
All of the children gasped. Some of them cheered. Rey looked more closely at the puppets.
A little human figure made of twisted-up wire and tiny cloth robes stood in front of a blast door made of paper, the puppeteer pulling a string to make his arm brandish a little green wire sword at a puppet of an AT-AT walker. The walker had just fired some little pieces of red paper at him, to absolutely no effect. Then the children whooped and cheered again as the little wire man leapt at the walker, and the puppeteer flipped it over backwards with a cowardly little wail.
Luke’s saber on Crait that day had been blue, and Rey noticed immediately, as someone who lived in the burned-out shell of one for the better part of her life, that the walker had been designed after the old Imperial kind. She smiled. Even if some of the details weren’t perfect, she thought, the important part of the story was still there.
The children stared wide-eyed, sometimes gasping, sometimes laughing, as other exploits of puppet Luke were depicted. A mother dressed in bright pink sat amongst them, bouncing a pudgy infant in her arms. Instead of the long trunks of the adults, the children had rather stubby little noses and plump cheeks. Rey’s smile doubled as the baby chuckled at Luke knocking down a round dish that was clearly supposed to be the second Death Star.
Something tugged on her tunic, and she looked down to find a young Acky Acky girl in a green robe trying to get her attention. Rey knelt before her.
ALL OF THIS!!!
I don’t think there should be a Kylo puppet. The place is surrounded by Stormtroopers so people would still live in fear of them. To mock the supreme leader could lead to bad things and doesn’t seem realistic in this situation. Something similar to the mockup seems to be a good direction, IMO.
I think there are so many ways you can take the clone idea which isn’t a bad thing. It allows people to come up with their own theories. Some people still think it’s actually Palpatine and not a clone which is why I’ve also added the “More than a clone, less than a man” VO. I didn’t know you did any Ep.III edit. I’ll have to check that out once all these scenes are done.
I just think there isn’t enough to show the change, If anything the dyad just shows him looking more like a man rather than the broken clone he once was. We’ve already seen Palp be overthrown with his blue lightning and old powers. He needs something to represent a bigger threat, Something that takes 2 Sabers, 4 Force ghosts, and Rey to defeat. I think this effect covered so many bases.
That’s the exact way I was thinking. Ultimate red sith lightning is in canon with a few Sith Lords. I also love the red vs blue visuals and the links to Mortis. It feels epic compared to the saturated blues of Exagol.
Lol, that was.
haha! Let me know if you find one. I’d like to see how they do it.
Here’s a still from the Palp red Lightning scene. It’s looking incredible https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1413191/action/topic#1413191
I wish I could clone myself to finish all these scenes asap. This one is looking pretty awesome https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1413191/action/topic#1413191
What do you think of Palpatine getting ulitmate red Sith lightning inspired by the line “look what you have made”? (WIP)

Hal, I’m sure there will be 15 books published in the next 10 years about Poe and Keri Russell having a fling while running spice. The EU never disappoints 😉
I’m thinking something like this:
ZORII: Babu? Babu only works with the crew.
That’s not you anymore.REY: What crew?
ZORII: Oh, funny he never mentioned it. Your friend’s old job was running spice, “until we learned he was a spy for” (The Resistance) [pulled from a few lines down]
FINN: You were a spice runner?
POE: You were a stormtrooper?
REY: Were you a spice runner?
POE: Were you a scavenger? We could do this all night.ZORII:
You don’t have all night.You know, I’m still digging out of the hole you put me inwhen you left to join the Resistance. You. You’re the one they’re looking for. Bounty for her just might cover us.(We can play around with it, Jar Jar; but I’m not sure how well it will fit if he was just playing a part. And personally, I think this particular banter feels a little awkward anyway. Unlike the rest of the script, which sounds like it was written by Aaron Sorkin.)
I filmed a video showing that very scene yesterday. 👍🏼
Dude, really? Ha! Just please don’t burn yourself out on this movie!
I guess the lines could still work in context, I just…I don’t know. I’m wondering if, given that we still don’t know Chewie is alive, and he only just died, it may be too soon for quips. Literally 10 seconds ago, these characters were mourning the death of a Star Wars icon. Now they’re cracking jokes in the middle of an occupation zone.
I almost feel like they have enough banter during the rest of the film. Can’t they take a scene to be serious for once? Chewie is dead! This isn’t a game anymore.
Exactly! I give a full breakdown of why I made these changes in the video coming soon. The whole Zorri “For what it’s worth…” line had to go to. I’ve moved Chewies fakeout much later in the story as well.
I appreciate the burnout thoughts, I’ve done it a few times in this past year but Star Wars has been the only thing keeping me going at some points. I can’t wait for this lockdown crap to be over in June!
Anyone put thought into whether it could work to NOT kill of Leia in this movie?
I’ve kept her alive right up until the last battle but I’m not sure how you can add her to the celebration? I saw someone of reddit asking for this version today. Was that you?

8 hours was enough today. I’ve got construction workers outside my office window all week now so it’s tough to concentrate. I’ll try some more tomorrow.
I’ve played with the timing and you can stretch it to around 4 or 5 seconds before it starts to look weird.
Wow, MR, I’m beginning to worry about you. That looks insane. I’m sure the rest can be covered by foreground puppets or objects.
And lol @ just having them watch TLJ on a CRT.
I worry about me too!! Haha. I’m my worst critic so this isn’t anywhere near where I want it.
I think the puppet show should remain basic and fun, How about a gorilla walker firing a few bolts at Luke and have him kinda twist and bob up n down like he’s dancing to deflect them? Kids love that stuff. Could even add a few “pew pews” in there 🤣
It’s always the short clips that take the most amount of effort.
I’m gonna try redoing the tough parts first and build around that instead. We’ll see…
This is around 8 hours of work so far on the Puppet removal. It’s really tricky to get the pattern of the material looking like it hasn’t been clone stamped and mimicking the wind blowing in the background. It’s probably going to take another 10 mask layers to get right…
Man, I’m looking forward to what you madlads can do with real props and filming. Holy shit.
Wait!? Real props and filming? Okay, I’ll admit, I really haven’t been paying much attention to the thread due to completing the next audiobook in my Harry Potter series, but are we literally about to start going the Adywan route here for V2?
My intention was always to try and film a scene of Rey building her Saber using Luke and Leia’s Crystals and now reshooting two dice shots with kylo ten. Adywan is most definately an inspiration.
How is that even possible? Hiring actors and deepfaking them?
Yeah, I was going to film it in the style of the deleted OT scene when Luke builds his, Kinda over-the-shoulder feel with a close-up on the hands and Saber but Covid put a stop to that. Hopefully, still be able to film something in July. The Kylo shots I’m doing myself, Just waiting on the Dice to clear customs. I’ve got a guy making me a pair by hand.
I’ve been trying all morning to remove the puppets but the texture of the background material and the wind movements are proving extremely difficult to mimic. That little thing it throws and the stick is really tricky too…
