Hey HAL, I just wanted to say how thankful I am someone like you has put so much time and effort into making the sequels a more coherent and enjoyable experience. I wanted to love these movies, I really did, but I couldn’t because of all the flaws and bad humor but your edits have for the most part saved these films for me. Thanks a lot! hope you keep up the great work!

I’d love to check out your workprint. I’ve done a couple edits of The Force Awakens myself, but yours sounds like it has something new to offer.

A link would be most appreciated.

Id also love a link to the workprint! If you don’t mind me asking when do think you’re gonna wrap up the edit entirely, and do you plan on making edits on 8 or 9?

If we could somehow do a wholesale saber replacement throughout and have her use Leia’s to replace Anakin’s which broke in TLJ, then Luke gives her his green one on Ach-To…that’d be an interesting experiment. But it might not work given how much dialogue is centered around “[Leia’s] brother’s saber.”

This would be definitely awesome, but there would also be a problem of how she obtained before going back to Lukes island, unless someones thought of how to pull that part off

Really sorry about changing the subject AGAIN but a while back I heard about an idea floating around on TROS edit ideas thread.
Someone, not sure if it was Hal or someone else, but they suggeted that in order to make it more obvious that Rey becomes the physical embodiment of every single Jedi we could see the Jedi’s spirits become part of her and she could glow or some shit like that.

I tried to experiment with this, by using the distarcting Exogol strobe lights to my advantage, I made Rey have a subtle glow effect for a couple frames after we see some spirit-like elements surround her and pass through her. It comes across as a little cheesy but it’s an iteresting experiment nonetheless.

I literally can’t tell the difference.

As for rescoring the fight, I swear Finn’s part in that scene is cringier every time. He deserves so much better. Cut him from that scene entirely. He should not be aboard the Death Star. What is he hoping to accomplish? Rey’s beaten Kylo before. She can handle herself.

I agree with the whole Finn thing, he yells not once, but twice and that really took away from the fight. I wonder if there would be a way to cut out the first “REEEEEEEYYYYY!” smoothly (the second is alot easier due to timing), but i also wonder if its at all possible to cut him from the scene entirely but cutting the part where hes told they have another water speeder?🤔

Great!

Maybe the star destroyer kamikaze from that shot could be reused with a Coruscant matte, if one wanted to keep the ending montage. Then, you would have one PT planet (Coruscant), one OT planet (Bespin), and one ST planet (Jakku).

(im basing this off the fact that i along with most people i know watch the De-specialized editions) Would there be a way to re-purpose the ending celebration from the Special Edition of EP 6 and use it in this context along with EP 9s celebration? you could also matte the Star Destroyer over Coruscant during the celebration as well. I feel like it could be pulled off with maybe a music change and color correction and would serve as a really good tie in from the PT and OT.

I wouldn’t because I have no issue with Rey beating Kylo in TFA.

oh yeah i can completely understand that, i dont really have a problem with it either. However after watching the D23 tease and seeing the scene where Rey and Kylo are battling on the Death Star II it gave me the idea for this. in TFA (in this edit atleast) we would see Rey tap into the power of the saber and the force, but just barley. In TLJ we see in the Throne Room that Kylo and Rey are basically evenly matched after her training with Luke. So in doing that, in my opinion at least, when we see her battle Kylo in TROS it would show how much shes grown from Starkiller (as Kylo said “Shes only begging test her power”) to until now (She will have mastered her power)

So how would Kylo get his facial scar in your “Rey doesn’t beat Kylo” version?

Well thats the thing lol, still trying to think about that. You could easily cut the scene where he has it in TFA right after she cuts him by cutting the scene, but in TLJ the droids are patching him, so i mean maybe you could cut around that scene in TLJ with audio manipulation or something… like i said im open to suggestions, how would you think about going about it?

been keeping up with this project for a while and extremely excited for it to finish. Id figure id give suggestion, i read about the final battle with Rey and Kylo. If at all possible the fight should cut short before Rey beats kylo. In no way should he be able to beat him, but the dark saber vision you wanted to do could still play a role. Right after she taps into it the ground should collapse around them like in OG fight ending with a cut back to Kylo looking at Rey from the other side (using A shot of him standing up from earlier in the fight) that we could see that in some way Rey is powerful and strong with the force but she wouldnt completely destroy Kylo with no training because the fight would be cut short in order for the TLJ to show how she taps into the power of the saber and learn to use it. Open to suggestion but just thought id give an idea
