cant wait to see your exegol final battle! sounds like a nice surprise.

I’m referring to the one Hal used and this extended B-wing/X-wing shot

You’ve definitely seen that before Im sure

Ah yes! I did try to add that footage but I couldn’t get it to sit properly alongside the other edits I’ve done. I may give it another go once I narrow it down to the final cut but I’ve got a lot of audio tweaks to do before then.

Concept art from the end of The Rise of Skywalker via ILM

https://www.ilm.com/visual_development/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-developing-a-heart-of-darkness/

Great images. I wish we got to see more of the cavalry ships from different angles at the end. It baffles me that they made so many models but failed to show them off.

this sounds awesome. am most interested in your extra shots of the battle of exegol. any updates on that?

i know there’s a B-wing shot that happens after the camera pans away from the horse riders on the star destroyers, and ofc that “deleted” ILM pan space shot too.

cant wait to see how this turns out

I finished Exagol a while ago but I’ve restructured the entire ending so It’s tricky to explain or upload the whole 47 minutes. It’s pretty awesome now though. It has a lot more weight and tension at the fact they could lose and the cavalry doesn’t come in until the last minute.

I’m not sure I’ve seen that deleted pan shot. Are you referring to the one Hal used? If not, do you have a link?

The whole child-soldier thing really bugs me about the ST. In the OT - I felt the battle between the empire and the rebels was fairly morally unambiguous. The empire was evil - the people fighting for it were likely culpable. But the element of recruiting child soldiers in the ST really makes me feel bad for the Stormtroopers and Officers who are killed.

I agree. I’ve tried to reduce the killing of troopers, especially Finn killing them from the trilogy as much as I could.

Reyturn of the Jedi

This is everything I’d hoped and dreamed for. Incredible job.

Understanding exactly how much work this will take, how many scenes are you thinking of doing?

Agreed that the end scene would work amazingly to finally show a visual arch of her character and give a call back.

pw : fanedit

Please feel free to give me your feedback, I personally think that the beginning needs improvement.

Incredible tracking work but I could barely notice and crackling. Can you up the effect and make it a little more random?

Now if only Jonh can get Luke to the barber shop… we’ll be in a great place 😃

Has anyone heard from him? I reached out a few times but haven’t had a reply in months.

Luka Frik said:

Great, I’ll try to finish the Death Star fight before he returns. And well, I don’t think I can do anything about this issue, I’m really just a beginner with After Effects, sorry…

You’ve done fantastic, Looks like a pro job. If you need help just PM me.

I spoke to Kewfish last week and he does intend to finish all scenes when he can.

Nice work Luka. That scene in particular annoyed me due to the Saber length constantly changing. Are you able to do anything about that ? I’m looking forward to doing the audio for these scenes.

Well, no one can say you’re not a man driven by passion. It’s utterly inspiring to see the lengths you’re going to make these edits. Your editions are my first goto for the OT and I can’t wait to see your results for RotJ.

I salute you sir!

Does anyone know who did the purple Saber FX for Leia or have a link to it please?

Hey everyone. Just letting you all know that fanedit.org has opened its poll to vote for Favorite Edit of the Month for November 2020. It would be fantastic if this edit won due to all the hard work that we’ve all put into helping Hal fix Episode IX and incredible VFX work put into it.

Hmm. I wanted to vote for Hals Episode IX, but it seems to be deleted. Anyone else having this problem on fanedit.org?

The link doesn’t seem to have a page to link to.

dgraham414 said:

Is the cover art for this edit finished? Or is the one on fanedit.org the old one from months ago?

It’s finished. It should be attached in the torrent?

Jedit: Looks like they’ve used the older version. I did remove the redness of Rey’s skin tone in the more recent one.

I’d love a link for future use please. Amazing job.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Does anyone do upscaling or 3D elements in here?

Acbagel said:

Just found your channel and subscribed, will be following now! Thanks for taking this project on, it means a lot to us fans.

Awesome! Thanks for your support. It’s been a long road but it’s really shaping up to becoming an awesome edit.

That leaves magenta by default.

Are there any 3D element users that can help me with a 4 second clip?

Welcome back!!

I couldn’t see if it’s been answered but will Luke’s Saber build scene be added? This is the cleanest version I’ve seen.

Has anyone ever tried to change the color of Pasaana’s sand? Like changing it to red just to make it feel more distinct from all the other desert planets in Star Wars.

Skenera made a good LUT removing the overly orange warmth on Pasaana. It makes all the other colours pop so much more, but I’m not sure changing the actual sand colour would be easy or worth it. There’s already a lot of reds, greens & blues in this movie so it would have to be something else for it to be “distinct”

Did we ever see the bridge on Rise destroyed? If I use the red stripped floor from TLJ do you think people will moan about continuety?

Just rotoscope it out with EbSynth. Not like that’s ever been tedious. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I’ve not used EbSynth yet but I am teaching myself after effects. It’s fun but it takes up a lot of time, so just wanted to make sure before doing the work.

^ What’s the context of the star destroyer shot?

Could I get a link to the ones you’re satisfied with? That could be awesome for the broadcast.

As for Star Destroyers being destroyed, I think it technically may have been destroyed in the Holdo manoeuvre, but it’s not confirmed at all (had to deploy that ground assault from somewhere). His Destroyer from Rise doesn’t get destroyed until it’s someone else’s on Exegol.

I’ve just noticed that all the clips from Episode one are really grainy. Was this movie ever remastered? It really stands out next to other clips.

Did we ever see the bridge on Rise destroyed? If I use the red stripped floor from TLJ do you think people will moan about continuety?

I’m trying to add one more Mustafar planet establishing shot with the 3 tie fighters but I don’t think anymore forest footage is needed unless we get a deleted scene of the giant and Oracle creatures.

Has anyone else here seen Episode 5 of Season 2 of the Mandalorian? Without spoiling anything, I’ll say that the opening scene of the episode has some shots that might work as inserts for Kylo Ren’s scene on Mustafar.

That shot of the moon of Corvus could definitely double as Mustafar.

That was exactly my thoughts. Is it worth extending the Mustafar scene though?

Brewzter said:

^ What’s the context of the star destroyer shot?

I’m adding star destroyers to various planet scenes for Palpatines message. I’ve completed most of them but I’m not happy with the Coruscant part. I was thinking of removing Dooku’s solar sailor from him leaving Coruscant and panning to Kylos battleship but I couldn’t remember if it was destroyed at any point? I’m using the deleted Kylo bridge scene from TLJ and adding Coruscant planet in the windows.
