Do you not have the missing tick scenes?

Kewlfish and Lilian finished the mustafar scene.

DominicCobb finished the flash backs.

Can’t remember who finished the lightspeed edit but it’s was great.

Glad you’re using my Rey & Leia scene. I’d like to see how you execute it as I’m still nip picking mine as the passing of the Saber is still a little jittery as I’ve extended the slow mo to fit the score.

Jonh finished the hair.

In case you missed those?

there will be no more changes! I’m sorry, friends! 😉

hahaha! Are you sure? 😉

Amazing work, mate! Thanks for putting so much time and detail into getting this right.

Now I’m on the final lap of my edit, I’m starting to notice really stupid edits.

Has anyone noticed that J.J has over dubbed Poe saying “this way…” with “follow me!” Several times in the movie?

Can anyone recall Poe saying “this way.” In any other movies so I can replace the original audio?

Ive just aquired a box of original 1979-85 Star Wars toys but they’re lots of missing parts.

Has anyone tried to scratch build parts from casts?

I’ve been researching something called ‘blue staff’ and used milliput in the past but wondered if anyone has experience doing this?

Well done for setting out these rules. They’re very clear to me and the law.

I’m seeing far too many editors publically posting mega links etc to full movies and people not understanding it’s still piracy.

I’m not sure that’s the original. There’s a better example here https://youtu.be/RiBqZoVe92U

I really wanna try this deeplab program but you need to render for far too long. It’s really impressive what you can do on home computers now though. I’m thinking of adding it to my edit.

Personally, while I have allowed anybody to send in pretty much anything they wanted to record, I prefer to emphasize names and voices that we came up with ourselves. Ideally, it would be a bunch of fan edit enthusiast inserting themselves into the universe directly.

That’s a fantastic idea. Love it! 😃

I’d really love to change the end music. JJ seems to play the whole soundtrack in the last 40 minutes and doesn’t know who’s theme goes with what.

The main new theme of the soundtrack (aptly titled Rise of Skywalker) is arguably its best and it really works during the triumphant Star Destroyers falling montage at the end, and during the final scene with Rey, Finn and Poe, so I wouldn’t change that particular track.

It’s the rest of the score during the celebrations on Ajan Kloss, however, the one that’s all over the place. Why use Yoda’s theme? Luke and Leia’s theme? They’re awesome pieces of music in their own right, but a great part of the appeal of Williams’s themes is the association between the actual music and the character/place it represents, otherwise they lose their meaning and become trivial.

I don’t see any issues with Yoda in jonh’s ghosts scene. For me it’s perfect the way it is.

Yeah, Luke & Leia’s theme over Lando and his daughter was off too. I’ve changed the ending significantly to fit that piece and made it second to last scene a very mixed emotional feel. I do think the score works well when Poe, Rey and Finn meet, I just seem to feel very aware of the changing tracks nearer the end of the film.

This guy made some great points https://youtu.be/L_8-dWSLDWI

So this video clip is a must for the final edit, Right?

FYI, Jonh has done a few updates to the scene done this upload. It looks even more awesome now.

A friend has told me that the proportion of yoda in the general shots is wrong, fucking shit, and now I can not stop seeing it too high, what annoyance, I will try to do an update in a few days 😓😓😓

It bothers me, because I have made you all download a thousand versions

Please don’t change the epic pan shot from Yoda to obi. Love that shot 💚. The only one the stood out for my was in the recent update where to do was an image from ESB?

Non of us are racing to a finishing line on this edit so don’t burn yourself out. You’re a valued team member so take your time. 😎

not! Only my friend told me that in the shots with Rey, he looks too high …
I’ll try to fix it

Yoda is just levitating to be in the shot more 😉 haha

How’s this rendition of the victory celebration for the ending, especially if other planets are added to the falling Star Destroyers and maybe with people cheering

https://youtu.be/qgjtpiICMdE

I’d really love to change the end music. JJ seems to play the whole soundtrack in the last 40 minutes and doesn’t know who’s theme goes with what.

This celebration track would be great if someone has been able to isolate the sound from the music?

Cool, Do you have the link to Jonhs updated version,Oh and Hal 😋

HAHA Hal 🤣

Here’s the current link. There are other changes by it’s tricky to navigate this site on my phone. If you go back a few pages on here Jonh has posted them all.

Han Solo flashback concept idea I had, this could be executed alot better just a thought I had.
think it could work for maybe just 1 shot during the scene.

https://youtu.be/FjgarF44CNc

I like the idea but I feel it would get a little too inception type with a memory within a memory.

Either way it’s pretty awesome. I just thought the “for skywalker” part could be in surround as they’re everywhere. As is really works too.

DarkSpecter5K said:

What does everyone think of other planets added to the falling Star Destroyer scene? Naboo, Coruscant, Utapau?

I did think about adding a few but decided to add Coruscant under Palpatines message near the end.

Is it in 5.1? It could sound noisy if all channels are coming through as stereo?

I haven’t got my surround system set up yet but if it’s in 5.1 that would sound Awesome!

DarkSpecter5K said:

I have an idea I don’t know if it’s been added or not, but has Leia’s line of ‘Always’ been added to the Jedi speaking to Rey on Exegol ? If so, do you think she should appear next to Anakin and Luke like in jonh’s 2.0 edit?

This would be cool.

Also, John, I was wondering if you considered adding in Leia, among the ghosts? If not, was it because you liked the idea that mother and son become one with the Force at the same time?

Sorry for the weird question, I just finished watching this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8RBGydnTzE and thought ‘shit Leia being among the ghosts would’be been nice, yeah’. If you’re interested in the music from the clip, it’s Samuel Kim’s arrangement of The Force theme.

exact! I think it has more emotional weight, that after disappearing with Ben, appears in the final scene …
It also seemed to me that adding more ghosts would overload the scene.

I agree! The scene I was creating did have Qui-Gon and Mace Windu but I feel 4 was the perfect number and scrapped my plans after seeing your scene. It’s more personal to the Skywalker saga, imo.

jonh said:

If you have idir_hh extended shots video it’s at 3:40. Landos back for a few frames. Think it’ll be perfect.

axlanian said:

Okay, party people. A LOT of you sent in voices for the Fleet, so I’m trying to find a balance between making sure everyone’s got a line in there while still making some lines stand out and not muddying the whole thing up. This is what I’ve got right now, let me know what does and doesn’t work:

Version A: https://vimeo.com/427444580

Version B (moved lines of encouragement to Poe to a different shot, not sure if it works): https://vimeo.com/427446625

Passwords are fanedit

Absolutely amazing! I love it.

UPDATE: I think I fixed the Lando intro scene…

If you cut 3P0s intro, Cut Rey’s snappy reply and cut straight to Finn saying “it’s an honour”

Then later on cut Rey saying “Ochis ship” and just cut to her saying “I know that ship” it seems less convenient on both segments.

Sorry I can’t upload any clips. I’m stuck with shitty upload speeds until I move again but I’ll help where I can.

TK-422 said:

Good call on keeping the Lando scene. I understand wanting to cut all of the exposition, but some of it is necessary. It’s also our only actual introduction to him, and without it, his role feels even more forced.

However, I think cutting out the whole exchange between Lando and Rey about “sending Leia his love” would work. It’s never picked up on again, and Lando never interacts with Leia on-screen. Also, when Rey tells him “you can give it to her yourself”, Lando looks like he’s thinking about what Rey just said, and then we move to the next scene. It felt like Lando was dodging his responsibilities, which is also never brought up again. Anyway, I think it would work if Rey said her line about “needing pilots”, and we saw Lando’s reaction of considering what she just said, and then the next scene. There’s some emphasis now on him scrounging up enough ships to take down the First Order, even if it’s just one line.

Cutting the Landos intro scene would cause so many more edits that it’s just not worth it. I’m still trying to come up with ways to make it less coincidental with every scene after it but it;s tricky.

There is some extra footage of Lando looking really sad at the base so I was thinking if someone had the skill to have him over Leia’s bedside and just say one line that it would complete that circle. At least have him next to her at some point. @jonh would this be something for you to think about?

Hal 9000 said:

Sounds like this project would be better served to leave Lando’s introduction in Panama. Though I used a foreign language track to replace the muppety “okay!” line with something milder.

And I think pacing-wise they may have made a good move structuring there opening as Kylo > Falcon > Rey.

And yeah, I haven’t removed Rey handing Leia the saber. I don’t see any reason to aside from the continuity error. But, do you happen to already have a clip posted of the change? What all are you cutting? I know the Leia footage is fleeting and so I hate to cut it down.

Sorry Hal, Didnt see you reply. I’m still stuck with crappy upload speeds but you can see the edit on my tutorial 11:52 in https://youtu.be/878FfeIm7D8 I think it works well.

Hal 9000 said:

And I did try having both say “always,” but it didn’t sound as good as you’d hope since only one is whispering.

Is you mean Leia you can grab her saying “always” from TFA.

For what it is worth, I am not in favor of this change. I like the Lando introduction and his exchange about sending Leia his love. Sure it is overly nostalgic and perhaps interrupts the pacing a tad, but without this scene then Lando is definitely nothing more than a glorified cameo in my opinion.

It was the “send Leia my love” line that really annoyed me. They never followed it up. We never saw them together, yes Carrie died before filming but they had plenty of option to give us a heartfelt farewell with Lando by her deathbed. That would have been beautiful imo but now it feels a bit hollow.

I understand it ringing a little hollow on the backend of the film as Leia and Lando never get a moment together. However, that is indicative of this entire sequel trilogy; missed opportunities for OT characters to have meaningful interactions with each other. Even though in this case, with Carrie Fisher’s passing this would have been hard to pull off. I enjoyed the line as it was a nice tip of the hat to TESB and how smooth Lando was trying to be when they initially met and how antagonistic their relationship played out throughout that film till the end. This line to me shows that despite starting out as not trusting Lando and even thinking he was in it entirely for himself, they formed a lasting friendship and he became one of her most trusted friends (and vice versa). We missed so much between the OT and ST, lines like this help me film in the gaps between trilogies.

Completely agree but isn’t that what we’re here to fix?

I feel Lando could have stood at Leias bedside and said something like “Goodnight sweet Princes, I love You!” Or something touching. Very easy scene to do in the circumstances.

I like that. Will you be cleaning up the centre channel for overlay?

How do you mean?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DUXM3TIlAJKR8pH2sMwvhbrzjWZt6XwL/view?usp=sharing

Removing the music from the centre channel to overlay on the new score change.

Proper LOL’d! That’s amazing. I like the voice changes too.

Thanks, haha. I have the audio separated out. I’m only doing a stereo mix… I don’t have time to deal with 5.1 at my real job, definitely don’t wanna deal with it for fun, haha.

Ha! I totally understand.

I didn’t think you could isolate the centre channel on a stereo track? I’ll have to look into that…
