[Post-sequels Star Wars story] “Heart of Kyber”| a SW: Visions edit (Released!)
Time

For those not familiar, Star Wars: Visions is an anime anthology that takes place in many different eras and styles. However, three of the shorts displayed a similar trait, a galaxy ruled by the Sith after the Sequel Trilogy.

In “The Duel” we find a lone Ronin with a lightsaber fighting a mysterious Sith lord backed up by soldiers wearing pieces of Imperial and First Order armor. Next, in “The Ninth Jedi” we find a galaxy where the Sith have almost completely erased the Jedi Order to the point where lightsabers were no longer available for the little remaining Jedi. Finally, “The Twins” features a set of Sith Lords created with Exegol-like technology by Palpatine’s Sith Cult after the battle of Exegol.

These plot points inspired me to combine these shorts into one short film. The “Twins” and “Ninth Jedi” are intercut to make up the bulk of the plot while “The Duel” is used as a prologue.

The San Juan Mountains are beautiful!

Change List:

  • The Disney Plus Star Wars intro with Kenobi visuals but audio from the Bad Batch and Mando versions.
  • A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…
  • “The Duel” Prologue (in black and white to get around the color of the Ronin’s lightsaber)
    • Cut most appearances of the Ronin’s droid and the Ugnaught.
  • Cut all appearances of the Ronin before the village battle starts, to keep things moving.
  • Added part of village battle with the Tusken and Dug to before the Sith Acolyte speaks to the Ronin.
  • Remove the line of dialogue from the Sith acknowledging the Ronin’s (formerly) red lightsaber.
  • Stop the lightsaber duel with them exchanging blows off-screen.
  • New opening crawl set to Battle of Heroes with visuals from Visions and Galaxy of Adventures
  • Removed opening narration from “The Ninth Jedi.”
  • Star Destroyer shot from the beginning of “The Twins” put before a later scene where An and her droid discuss bringing order to the galaxy.
  • Cut from the beginning of “the Twins” (minus the Star Destroyer shot) to the Sith droid explaining the Star Destroyer and the Dark armor.
  • Add sounds from the past films in the background to Karre’s look at the future to give the scene more of a word-between-worlds vibe.
  • Rescored the final scene on Tatooine to have the Force theme from ANH.
  • Combined credits of all the episodes backed by the SIgn of deaTH from “The Duel”

(The Mandalorian+BoBF) The Way of Mandalore | A New Mandalore Movie Saga (Final Update in Progress)

There’s one word I’d use to describe this edit, seamless. This edit is almost completely seamless, I had to check the cut list a few times to see what you did, which in my book means you succeeded! As much as I love Smudger’s compressed version of Mando’s story, I feel like yours will be more of a deep dive while still removing the fluff. I like that you used Chapter 6, it reinforces that Mando has a moral code that other Bounty hunters don’t and it sets up the future with Miggs Mayfield. Chapter 6 also expands upon Star Wars lore, giving us a better look at the New Republic, their uniforms, and that X-Wings are still in play. However, I do have a question about the credits, are you going to add the text later? Overall great work as always and I’m looking foward to Chapter 2!

(The Rise of Skywalker) Legacy of the Force | A Star Wars Legends Re-edit [Workprint Released]
Time

I’ve finally gotten to see your Episode 9 and I’m impressed just as I was with the other edits, your version is once again my favorite version now. I loved Palpatine’s red lighting, I got chills during Rey and Kylo’s duel, I adored the rescore during Rey’s final stand, and I love that you kept Ben Solo alive. You changed up the ending so it’s not a retread of what ROTJ was, and I aplaud you. However, some things could be improved, like maybe you could move the Galaxy fleet scene up a bit, perhaps right before Rey’s final stand, then have the part where they pick up Finn after it? Some things like Ben’s wound and the Skywalker’s sabers on Tatooine are noticeably zoomed in but I don’t know how you’d get around that. Speaking of Ben on Tatooine, It seems like he jumps to lightspeed twice, or maybe I’m looking at it the wrong way? Overall great edit with some great potential. P.S If you want to give Finn a bigger role in the finale you could use something like this https://www.reddit.com/r/fanedits/comments/uxyafk/finns_moment_tros/.

While not a deepfake, i thought I’d include my attempt at a slightly younger Palpatine. I doctored a single frame in photoshop, applied it to surface mesh in davinci resolve 18, and then applied a bit of face refinement on top of that.

That’s really impressive and I probably wouldn’t have noticed if it was pointed out to me!

This is a pretty great edit! I really liked it for the most part but there are a few odd moments such as the Resistance Evacuation and the early mention of the Sith fleet. Ben’s death was also kinda anti-climatic but I appreciate that now Leia dies once the fighting is over and her son is dead like Luke says to Rey. Overall solid 8/10!

Thank you so much for the kind words! There definitely were some compromises / challenges in making a cohesive narrative. As you noticed, the resistance evacuation has some odd moments for the sake of pacing and tension. Because Canto Bight has been removed, I had to restructure that entire ‘chase’ sequence, condensing it in the beginning and stretching it out toward the end.

Tell me about the early Sith Fleet mention. Do you remember about how far along? Wondering if it was a random moment of dialogue I never thought to trim. A lot of Ep 9 ended up scattered across the edit so there’s inevitable continuity issues!

I doubt it’s unintentional the scene is before Rey leaves for Ach-To. It’s not a big complaint but It feels weird to me to bring up the fleet when we don’t hear about it again until the end of the movie. But I don’t know how else you would bring it up before Kylo goes to claim the fleet. Again, not a big complaint, it didn’t take me out of the story it just felt a little odd to me.
