That’s what I was going for in V3. By “smoke element” do you mean the lasting smoke effect or the initial puff of smoke from the Saber?
Here is an end Saber spark test. 3 different versions, first clip regular speed and second at half speed to see the difference. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks to @skenera for helping with colour correction.
The idea is to give Rey a reason for burying the Sabers after the battle with Palpatine.
V1 No blue puff of smoke
V2 Hard blue smoke
V3 Softer blue smoke
FYI… 🤣
Me too! There were so many to use so I just spread then out across 5 channels. I feel they’re a great addition and not fan edity at all if you get the audio levels right.
I spend most of yesterday trying to find the kylo setting for the movie but people seem to get it right at a distance bit those close up shots just look wrong.
I managed to do a hybrid of Luka’s and the movie one and currently working on adding spark particles as an added detail others have requested.
Huge respect for Kewlfish & Luka for attempting these scenes. Patience would be an understatement!
*Ignore that. I uploaded the wrong video.
It’s just after the Ben and Han scene. It fits perfectly. I’m just waiting on some 4k footage to see if it improves.
Does it look blurry to you in that clip? It’s from 1080p blu-ray but just looks off to me.
I love that concept - can’t wait to see it in context! But yeah, I do think the shot looks a little blurry. Especially with a planet like Coruscant, where the planet itself has a lot of distinctive, fine-line details and colors, you’d probably want to see that detail a little more clearly. Right now it just kind of looks like any old planet to me. But I don’t have any experience with VFX, so I’m sure whatever you come up with will be great!
Thanks for the feedback. It’s a great help. I managed to get the 4k version and it’s still blurry. I may have to create the whole planet from scratch. 2 months work for a 2 second clip. Gotta love fanediting. 🙄
Maybe you could use these pictures instead of the AOTC footage? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OTeUcFcpBTXHxmEaDrBEV3Fohk8EE6AG/view

Idir_hh I was wondering where youve been. Oh damn! I had no idea you were still working on this scene. Nice job.
Thanks for the update Jonh. I’ll check them with what Poppa sent me and see what’s best.
Thanks for you help guys. 👍🏼
Is it 35 mins long?

Playing with some random Saber settings. Ignore the tracking and speed, It’s 3am!
That’s slowly becoming my anthem 🤣
That’s the problem. The effect that I’ve seen other do so far slightly change in most scenes. Some are wavy, some are fluid, some have the effect in the glow, while others in the core.
There’s a 100 settings that all interchange. So, I’m experimenting with flow before I do a bunch of scenes and have to do them again if people don’t agree on the crackle.
I’m just showing examples of what people have suggested to me. If these scenes are already finished by others just let me know? I’m just helping out as we’re in full national lockdown here and all I can do is edit and try to keep busy.
I offered to help Luka with scenes and wasn’t aware Kewlfish completed any scenes?

Have Ben live, Leia’s vision of his death changes, they get married, Reylos unite! Everyone wins.

Ha! Roger Roger.
Hence WIP.
I’m having “planet killing” star destroyers turn up at as many planets as I can find to explain why the galaxy United in TROS and not TLJ.
So, far Kylo turns up at Coruscant (inspired by Idir_hh) and you’re left questioning if he’s good or bad. Here’s a WIP but the footage from the prequels is very grainy and blurry in comparisons to current day footage.

We’ve been sharing scenes with each other for a while now but they’re a good way off from completion. They’re very ambitious in some of their new shots. I can’t wait to see what they come out with. They’re spending an absolute fortune on this project.
Ohhh! I never noticed that top piece before, I thought it was just chipped. So, in theory! Rey’s Saber could be even worse than Kylo’s due to it being completely split in two?
I’m trying to remember, was Anakin’s crystal broken in half at the end of TLJ, or was it just cracked with a split body?
That’s the point. Palpatine is launching an attack against the galaxy, destroying any planet whose citizens refuse to listen to him. He’s basically going to be holding the galaxy at gunpoint.
That’s the exact scene I’ve been working on for months. What planets would you include? (Bear in mind that cloud city, Endor & Naboo are already used in the end scene) I’ve already got Coruscant, Yavin 4, Tatooine, Mustafar…
Corellia and Kashyyyk would be nice.
Corellia could be cool. I looked at adding a Star Destroyer to the dock scene in Solo. I looked through hours of travel videos and drone footage of Thailand to create Kashyyk but couldn’t find anything that would suit. If you know of any footage that would work I’d love to add that planet?
ok, The DSII scene is very quick so I’ll try to find a more suitable/stable close-up clip. Maybe the Exagol exchanged…
I don’t think it should. It wasn’t damaged in the same way so I feel copying it would be just that.
I’m trying to give Rey’s crackling Saber a different effect than Kylo’s. This may not be the best example but the core white is more his style but what are your thoughts on more outer blue crackle than core instability?
