Did I see someone do a version of Kylo looking over Coruscant somewhere? Can’t remember who did it but it was awesome!
Hmm, completely cutting Mustafar seems… like a radical change. I’d almost rather just have a single establishing shot, like poppasketti’s Tie Fighters than not having Mustafar at all. That was one of Kylo’s most badass scenes and it’s where we are introduced to the Wayfinder.
I must’ve reworked that scene aboyt 50 times and I can’t seem to fit the castle in anywhere that transitions well. I’ve worked everything else in though. Troopers were the cherry.
Interesting idea. I assume Luke survives in your version of TLJ then?
Yeah, I put an explanation in the video description. Still a work in progress bit I like the feel of it.
-Insert Lukes death scene from TLJ (switch day to night fx)
I’m still figuring out how to export properly and my internet is being a total nightmare.
I’ve uploaded this…

Let me know what you think.
Here’s the clip of the lightspeed scene removal
Nice edit, I’m still not 100% on having TIES being about to track people in lightspeed. Just doesn’t sit right with me
The worst one is probably the hardest one to change (“a thousand generations live in you now”).
now that I think about it, with the force ghost, we would have to eliminate the line: but this is your figth
I’ve actually added it in just as Lukes ghost flashes first. Gives me goosebumps. I see it more as “You got this kid!” rather than “You’re on your own”.
I figure that if the TIEs follow the Falcon aaaaaand scene, the viewer would infer that Poe pulled further shenanigans to lose them (pushing the Falcon to her limits due to the FO’s new hyperspace tracking capabilities) as referenced when Rey chides him for lightspeed skipping. I got the transition to feel fairly natural to me, and I think I would have accepted it.
It’s been an absolutely blessing after reddit. So good to be in a place full of encouraging talent.
I’ve removed that entire scene when Poe & Finn return. That whole bickering back and forth did my head in. I cut straight to the message.
I’ve added a bunch of changes on my “The Last Hope” thread if you wanna check them out.
I’m having internet issues at the moment. Upload speeds are only 0.7mb and I can’t even stream full movies but a friend has been doing zoom events for me which have been working really well.
I’m a little burnt out atm but I’ll let you all know when I’ve reduced all my new scenes to one movie.
Thanks for the support!
I’m having a similar crisis haha so many different ways to take this film.
This time last month I was ready to give up after a bunch of crap from reddit and not being happy with my final rough cut but since joining this site it’s been nothing but encouraging and now I’m having more ideas than ever!
So glad I joined and can’t wait to see what everyone else is doing…
Can’t wait to check it out!
I just did a rough cut premiere for friends and fans that helped from the start. Once I merge these ideas into one edit I’ll do another one and let you know if you’d like?
If you end up being able to remove even the TIEs, I would consider whether the later conversation about lightspeed skipping will make sense.
I feel that if you see the Ties before the cut it’s an edit mid scene so it has to be either before you see them after the wall break or keeping the lightspeed scene.
I’ve now got 3 different versions of the movie that I’m working on as I have so many ideas but every time I watch a final cut I just come up with more. I’m losing it a bit Haha!
I can’t encode a clip right now because ROTJ is exporting but I wipe away from the lightspeed scene after they blast through the ice wall and are followed by TIES. Skenera extended the shot to allow for a smooth transition.
I was trying to cut just before the Ties as I’ve cut them out the end of that scene. I’d like to see your edit wgen you can.
How far in from finishing a rough cut are you?
A basic account is free, but you have a weekly upload limit of 500MB and a total limit of 5GB.
Oh, cool. There didn’t seem to be any free options when I looked. It could be good just to share ideas for now. Thanks.
Are you talking about cutting the lightspeed skipping scene right? Why wouldn’t it work to delete it in your edit?
I’d really like to watch your version of the Mustafar sequence.
The soundtrack from the falcon scene going into a natural history forest extra scene with added forest sounds just doesn’t go at all. Leaving the lightspeed segment gives me the climactic crescendo that fades really well into the peaceful jungle scene.
I’m trying to set up a vimeo account but do you have to pay even for basic account? I thought it was like youtube years back.
Yeah the game’s graphics are just next level stuff. I believe there’s a cinematic option that let’s you play around with the camera, creating different scenarios.
A useful tool.
Thanks for the heads up and all the help with links etc. I’ve just finished that scene and it’s F@£$ing awesome!
Just a small detail regarding the TIE Fighters; the First Order special force TIEs (like the one Poe and Finn stole in TFA) are supposed to have been upgraded with hyperdrives (explaining why Finn meant to leave the system instead of landing on Jakku).
I really wanted to cut that scene but it wouldn’t work with the edits I’m doing. It’s frustrating to leave it but the transition just doesn’t work at all.
That Stormtrooper footage it’s excellent!
I’ve just finished my Mustafa clip thanks to so many people for working so hard on this footage.
Absolutely buzzing!
Yeah I’d say go for it. With a workprint it helps to convey the changes holistically, making it easier to give back feedback.
I still haven’t had time to set up Vimeo or a Google drive yet but I’ll switch out the soundtrack I’m using and replace it with some royalty free stuff and add it to Youtube next week.
Here’s the source: https://youtu.be/qbVsjbBllKQ
Holy Sh**! I never have time for the games but that looks epic.
Alrighty, updated the ties to the First Order models (thanks for pointing that out, my mistake)!
The updates are now in the Master Clips folder on my drive; here’s the reference vimeo links:

Mustafar - Tie Flyover Alt

HELL YEAH!!! That second clip fits amazingly. Thank you for awesome work.
I’m digging the cut list. looking forward to seeing how it all translates on screen.
Specially intriguing by how you’ll pull this off
-Insert Nasa blue planet clip
-Add Rey meditation scene
-Create new scene with Leia talking to Luke about Reys training
-Cut to Luke from TLJ night scene
Insert Lukes death scene from TLJ (switch day to night fx)
I’ve got various Nasa planet clips I wanna use and I may even change the forest clip I’ve already finished as I think it needs a more sunset warm coloration.
Leia & Luke scene is so emotional! I thought Leia was a little defeatist at the end of TLJ so I’ve taken parts from that talk and recreated something new. It’s really beautiful, IMO. Just need someone to help with the day to night fx as I’m colourblind and it’s tricky to get right.
I’m thinking of releasing a rough cut and asking for help in my next video. What do you think? Glad you like the list so far though.

I believe I will make you an alt version to place at the start of IX
Excellent work on the trooper shots. Can’t wait so see the final piece.
Oh nice! Just watched, another great video mate.
Thanks! I’ve just seen your post about Mustafa. Couldn’t find where the original post was those. Really like the look of those troopers running out etc.
Managed to watch around half way. Some interesting choices of edit. I feel like you’ve gone a little heavy in place I.e. Zorii just popping up. Also seems to be a lot of cringe moments left in for an anti cringe cut. Most from Finn and 3PO saying “my friends”
You’ve made me think about Lando and the dagger a little more though, so thanks.
Some useful references for those interested in changing the colour of Exogol.

This hurts knowing what we could’ve had. Killing me!
Gave you a mention in my video today. Cheers for the heads up on continuity error.
I’ve heard y’all had a dagger-problem. I toyed around with this sequence a bit, this is a really rough proof of concept. What do you think?
https://vimeo.com/419573354
faneditAs you may notice, I’m also experimenting with color correction, because…damn this movie is fugly sometimes. 😄
That’s interesting. I cut and replace “A feeling” so many times. Are you trying to remove the dagger all together or just that scene?
I felt there were 3 choices, 1) Remove the scene completely 2) Change the dialog in that scene to cover Kylo missing Rey holding the dagger the whole time or 3) Add a digger in the last few seconds of that scene to fix the contuniety error.
I still haven’t decided which one is best but I’ve fixed the dialog so far…
