I know this isn’t an entirely important edit, but in comparison to TFA and TLJ, Ahch-To in TROS feels very barren and lifeless (other than that one shot of the two porgs), there is always usually porgs far off in the distance making noise. Maybe adding in Porg noises in the distance would help it feel more like Ahch-To?

From what I remember, porgs weren’t in TFA at all. I had to add sound effects from TLJ for TFA closing shots to match. I think they were only invented to cover up the amount of noise due to the island being a bird sanctuary. Totally get what you mean about TROS Ahch-To.

You’d think wasting all that money going to Jordan to film on green screen that they’d at least wait til breeding season was over and reshoots on Ahch-To instead of filming in a studio. It REALLY show.

Those are really good, man.

First clip sounds a little loud but the DSII is awesome. Really nice idea.

If you’re looking for a silhouette ending I think this is the best looking work I’ve seen so far.

I like what you did with Kylo/Ben.

The ending was nice but why did you flip Rey and the old lady? The sun comes up on her left side but she now looks right.

So glad you cut Jannah’s snappy reply to Poe on Endor Moon.

I felt the start was a little messy. How about simplifying your scenes and having Kajimii blow up as your opening scene in one?

Pacing just feels even faster than the original with you cutting each scene up and jumping to the helmet scene from opening. The rest of the movie was nicely paced though. Thanks for letting me view it.

Knight of ren voice test (unedited)

Nice test. I think there should be a slight pause after find her… just to break up the wording as it can sound a little muddy with the effect added.

This sounds pretty interesting. May I have a link, please?

So having those whispers while she is exploring/climbing also is a simple but effective way of being guided to it, again, relying on the dark side once again to make the struggle with the dark and light which kind of later reveals she may have gone through striking down Palps later in the movie if Ben wasn’t there.

That’s a great idea. Nice!

I’ve had a lot of people offering to help me with scenes which are amazing! so I thought I’d make a video to explain everything that I’m either stuck on so please let me know if you can help out…

I’ve also given a big thank you to everyone who’s done amazing work so far and helped me. 😃

I’ve added each scene timecode in the video description box.

Here’s a test for the Sith whisper thing. At least the first chunk of it. It’s unfortunately a little cramped since there’s no extra footage to work with and the arrival of the riders comes up suddenly.

Nice cut. I also took out Rey saying “It’s a bad place…”. It’s called THE DEATHSTAR! It’s hardly gonna be full of Bunnies and Candy haha.

Seeing as around 75% of dialogue is said off camera in this movie can’t you add the “just” part off camera and the cut to Rey saying “Rey”?

Just an idea.

his passion for Rey lit a flame in the cockpit

Like the titanic love scene? Lol

Poppaskettis titanic tie swap doesn’t sound so crazy now. 🤣

Hal 9000 said:

That would be kind of funny if he just randomly crash landed and they were still just like “oh hey lol.”

Haha! That’s why I want Ben to “land” Red 5 on leave it and Tatooine. 😃

idir_hh said:

An interesting way of incorporating Ben into the Tatooine scene :

That’s the exact scene I’m trying to find someone to help me add Red 5 to. 😉

Knight of Kalee said:

Personally that version of Rey’s theme mixed with Ben’s light side theme that plays when Rey’s resurrected is one of my favorite pieces of music across the entire film, so I’d leave it as it is. The actual kiss could be rescored, though.

Yeah, I’d leave everything the same other than the scene changes I’ve made and the rescore after Rey says “Ben”, then have a second silence and the add the build up the first crescendo across the stars but only use a few seconds before fading to Poe in X-wing celebration.

It works, it’s nice BUT I’m still split on it just remaining Padme’s song.

But then the whole of TROS didn’t stick to the rules I.e. Yoda’s theme with Luke, Leia & Luke theme with Lando & Jannah etc

TK-422 said:

I don’t think Across the Stars needs to be used. It’s just Anakin and Padmé’s love theme, not a general one. However I think you could place it in the scene where Ben resurrects Rey and it would work well. Mostly because Anakin and Padmé’s relationship was torn apart by Anakin trying to save her. Now Ben literally brings someone back from the dead, so it might be a nice way to tie the prequels together as well. I don’t think that’s necessary though.

That’s exactly why I’m split on using it.

I’m adding a soundtrack from every movie to TROS so here’s a clip using Dual of the fates…

It’s exactly what I did only you did it better.

What are planning for the other films’ music? I’m assuming Across the Stars for the Reylo kiss and Battle of the Heroes for the Death Star duel?

I really wasn’t going to add Across the stars but so many people are asking me to add it I’ve put it out to vote. What’s your thoughts?

Knight of Kalee said:

Absolutely!!! I’ve smashed the Duel so hard with editing exactly to the soundtrack that it’s one of my highlights now.

I’m also adding Ambush on Coruscant for an extra scene I’m working on with Kylo Ren

I’ve just asked my first question for the public to decide as I’m 50/50. Please check it out and let me know what you think…

https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-Episode-IX-The-Last-Hope-Help-needed/id/75067/page/3

Ok, I’ve had a lot of people trying to guess what tracks I’m using throughout TROS and Across the Stars keeps coming up.

So, should I use it over Kylo & Rey’s kiss?

It’ll be short but it’ll work if people want me to do it…

A) Yes, that would sound great.
B) No, it’s Anakin & Padme’s song.

That some one incorporates this into either ROS or the other 2 sequels as a nice tie for Darth Vader/Anakin (Could just be in his head as there is a great clip of Ghost Anakin with Yoda and Obiwan helping Rey against the Emperor). Also helps add the Emperor feel, by way of vader. Maybe its one of Palpatines professed voices/visions he gave Ben.

Edit- Could do it in Force Awakens since they’re already on that planet, or intro to ROS when Ben is searching for wave finder, before going to Mustafar

I used this in TFA. It’s awesome!!

Would love a link!

Just had a response from Seize the frame who are sending me a master hd link to use. 🖤

I’m currently redoing all my edits as I’ve learnt so much this year. Did them in low res and stereo but I’m working in 1080p and 5.1 but I’m thinking of redoing SOLO, TLJ and TFA in 4k. I’ll let you know when I’ve updated them that scene.

I like the scene where Chewie supposedly dies, I just don’t like that it was a cheap fakeout! However, it’s a little beyond the scope of this project to just remove. Now, we see Rey sense Chewie’s alive, and see him a bit later when the crew rescue him. Damn, it’d be good to have that Kylo Chewie scene to work with.

I think another added benefit of removing Chewy’s “death” and the force tug of war is that it removes Rey’s Sith lightning. Isn’t she OP enough?? Her learned heritage and desire to kill Palpatine is enough to sway her to the dark side.

I cut the tug of war but if you cut the lightening then you’ll need to cut the following Rey chat with Finn and Chewies rescue?

I’m using this over my new Kylo arriving to Coruscant scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmXLndUYhQU
