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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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…

To solve the problem of Ochi’s name, you could have Rey say his name while she puts her hand on the page with the wayfinder at the start of the film. That way, when she sees Ochi’s ship she instantly rememberes what Luke wrote in the Jedi texts. Or she can mention Ochi of Bestoon when she talks to Poe about following Luke’s trail in the forbidden desert of passana.

I was just watching it back to see if you mention his name to Leia…

That’s fair. I just already cut out 13 minutes from that movie, haha. Including her destroying Kylo’s TIE on Pasaana (since it’s a major continuity error).

FINALLY!!! I was told never to bring it up again, and I’ve had so many arguments online about that ship. You’re the only person whos agreed with me! I found several ways to play that scene out but I think I’ve picked the best one where it now looks like Kylo is coming from one side and the TIEs are coming from the other to pin them in. Rey loses control because of fear now, which gives Kylo the upper hand. 😃

I’m currently running at 2:12 but that’s with a bunch of new scenes

If you wanted to be more conservative, you could just cut the scene with Lando, going from running from the Trooper Lando would have shot, to them stealing the speeders. There isn’t a lot of new information in that scene, other than explaining why Lando is there. Rey already knew Luke was tracking Ochi to Pasaana, how much more she knows from his journals is up to interpretation.

Yeah, I just found there were too many coincidences so removing Lando and Ochi at that point makes it feel a little more accidental and poignant when Rey sees ochis ship

Poe, being a prominent member of the Resistance and son of a Rebel pilot that served with General Calrissian would recognise and know who he is.

If that were the case do you think Finns response should be cut so Poe is th e first to speak after seeing Lando?

I’ve worked on this scene so much and I even found a way to remove Lando, ochi and the dagger up until Rey picks the dagger up in Kylos quarters. Then Landos intro can either be at the base or in the falcon cavalry. It does take a large chunk of the movie out though.

STAR WARS: EP VI -RETURN OF THE JEDI &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - ** PRODUCTION HAS NOW RESTARTED **

ChainsawAsh said:

This is everyone’s friendly reminder not to ask for ETAs on fan projects, particularly Revisited - there’s a reason Ady no longer provides ETAs and people constantly asking when it will be finished got really really really old during ESB:R’s 8+ year production.

Sorry if I caused any offence. My message was just to see what stopped production rather than trying to rush a situation.

I burnt out last week so I was more curious to see if I could help in any way.
