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. 🤣
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. 😃
An interesting way of incorporating Ben into the Tatooine scene :
https://youtu.be/UfRrRoXDCQI
That’s the exact scene I’m trying to find someone to help me add Red 5 to. 😉
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
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…

pw: faneditIt’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?
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…

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!

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 still think the opening restructure should be like how Dominic had it. I also wouldn’t move Finn, Poe and Chewie’s game of chess at the end. Also, I just realized we’re on Page 154. Jeez!
I really liked the game of chess at the end for Hal’s cut. It was very creative and showed them all traveling together at the end.
There were so many references to Finn being force sensitive in TROS that it can’t be anything else other than him telling Rey.
I doubt the cast will return for another movie so I’m sure we’ll find out in a comic or something soon.
What’s everyone’s take on Doomcocks info that Disney is gonna introduce different timelines to bypass the sequels?
I just watched Doomcocks’ video and that’s ten minutes of my life I’m never getting back. I know it’s somewhat hypocritical sharing this on a fan edit message board but this guy is clearly incredibly bias and needs to accept the fact that Rey Skywalker is canon and will be forever. This video has about as much credibility as something Mike Zeroh would produce with an extra dash of misogyny. For more reliable star wars news I would suggest sticking with the star wars leaks reddit, Youtube is full of trash.
Absolutely agreed! I’ve had to unsubscribe from so many star wars YouTubers recently for spouting utter garbage! Did you watch the Mike Zeroh clickbait breakdown video? It was hilarious. 🤣

I think cutting any of Leia’s scenes other than when she says “from the very beginning…” during the message reveal would be sacrilege.
Hear hear! (do people still say that? I’m from 1835)
Haha! No sure which country you’re from but the British government say it all the time. It works for me!
I think cutting any of Leia’s scenes other than when she says “from the very beginning…” during the message reveal would be sacrilege.
Personally, I would remove Leia’s line, “Rey. Never be afraid of who you are.”
If you remove that line would you also remove the same line from Sith Rey?
Thanks for posting that! I know it took some patience with your connection.
It’s too bad footage had to be reversed in order to get enough room. I think finding some alternate source for a choir belting out those notes, maybe with a little less gusto, would help make it feel diagetic to that moment.
I agree though, it’s a natural idea for that moment.
If you didn’t like the reverse extra footage you can always add the choir to Rey’s entrance to Exagol? I first added it their but I thought it made a bigger impact at the sacrifice moment.
@jkimm, If you cut it that heavy you’ll miss the “never underestimate a droid” line. If you use a cut away to bb8 you can still keep that line of dialogue.
I guess the engine sound effects are just a placeholder, right?
Yeah, those are placeholder. I just wanted to show that if you leave the music sting as-is, there should be some sounds of the ship taking off during the last Kylo closeup to help ease the passage of time between cuts. Alternatively, you could tweak and extend the music. I’m not sure which would be better.
My only issue with that scene is the fact they would be flying into oncoming toe fighters. I always wondered how the escaped that chase so ease.
I actually think the ties would be coming from camera left on the last shot. This is based on where Poe points and where Finn looks as he runs back towards the ship. In any case, this is what we could do with the available material. 🤷🏻♂️
I think it’s a great scene you’ve made. I’m just used to being scrutinized for every detail.
Hal, It’s just taken me forever to upload this DOTF clip in 480p but I hope it gives you an idea of the direction I went.

px: faneditThis is fantastic! Having heard rumours that Duel of the Fates would appear in the movie, I was convinced the moment the Sith Eternal choir turned up they had to be the ones to belt out that tune. This is exactly what I had imagined it would sound like!
This is one of my several goosebumps moments that I’ve created. It was so much fun finding places to add soundtracks. 😎

- If possible, try to create a shot of the heroes escaping Passana on Ochie’s ship. It is very abrupt how the next scene is just them randomly in space somehwere when there was a swarm of TIEs
Something like this?

Hal, you’re totally right. What’s JJs problem with ships landing properly?
