I would love a link 😄
I would love a link 😄
Very excited to see how it turns out! 😃
How goes film 10? I just finished binging these with my partner and cannot wait to see how you finish it off!
Huge fan of your edits so far! Since the Snow show is no longer in development will you be resuming your original plans for the ending? Personally I’d love to see your preferred ending to the series, continuity be damned
Hey guys! Ashamed to say I haven’t been keeping up with this project (or anything on OT) as much lately. Would anyone mind filling me in on the major changes we’re gonna be seeing in V2? Thanks!
Due to an unexpected family emergency, I had to halt editing for a few weeks. I should be ready to begin again in the next few days and really iron out the rest of the kinks with the ending of the film.
The edit is still underway. Unfortunately its not done yet. I’ve been busy with school lately but I should be able to have it done (if not very close) by the new year! 😄

Here’s an updated link including the Yoda scene. This version omits the R2 scene as one possibility. I’ll include a version with that scene shortly. I think this works really well! I may still have to trim some of the dialogue but once I get the outline of the film looking right I’ll start focusing on editing the audio
Great job! I love the scene reordering. The pacing is beautiful for most of it. That last montage feels off though. I would make the cuts tighter and keep the original rhythm of her words. But the concept is lovely. Well done.
Appreciate the support! I’m certainly not totally satisfied with the montage yet. I’m planning on adding to it and syncing it much more to the music. Right now I’m focusing on the lead-up to it and getting that perfect
Here is the new ending w/Yoda scene, followed by the R2 scene. Still going back and forth on which I prefer.

Thanks. But you need to change the viewing setting for the link to ‘anyone who is sent the link’
Done
I prefer option number 1 for how to get around Finn’s death. I’m doing something very similar in my TFA edit. Currently I have Rey crying, Chewie arriving, cut to falcon taking off and landing, and then right to Leia walking up to Rey and them hugging.
I think that hug really let’s the audience feel the weight of the deaths

Not sure I’ll get the chance to work on it today but I’ve thought about it and I have a good idea of what I hope to do with the Yoda scene. I’ll add it at night, after the first tree scene and have it end on a fade to black on the wide shot of the two old Jedi. The screen stays black fo a few seconds and then the training montage plays with a more gradual beginning
Absolutely love this idea, as I am the same as you, love TFA, want it to end on a high note instead of what comes next. For a proof of concept, I think this is great, the only complaint I would have is the music transitioning between some of the scenes and the muffled sound hiding Luke’s ‘go away!’ line. But I’m sure that will be fixed in no time. Looking forward to seeing this finished.
I’m still relatively new at editing but I’ll definitely get those sounding as good as possible before the edit is released
I think the montage should be longer. The beginning of the montage is a great transition from the original cut of TFA.
Possible scenes could be:
.Rey training scene from TROS
.Luke and Yoda scene from TLJ
.The legendary broom kid scene
.maybe all three?You’ve got this!
I’ll keep experimenting. I think the Yoda scene would be perfect here but I can’t quite figure out how to fit it in yet. Guess I’ll finally have to rewatch TROS to see which training scenes can fit in
For a rough proof on concept, I can see what youre trying to acheive. This is gonna work gloriously. My only concern is maybe the final scene, the montage is great but it is cut off quite short for the end of the saga. I’m sure you could find a scene from The Last Jedi or Rise of Skywalker to amend that though. I’m really looking forward to this 😃
Really appreciate it! Do you think the montage should be longer or more should be added before the montage?
Are you planning to keep the destruction of the New Republic?
I think so, to add some stakes to the film, but I’d like to better establish the state of the galaxy in the new crawl and possibly soften the blow of Hosnian Prime’s destruction in the process. It would feel too weird to keep showing Starkiller base but never show them using it IMO.
The Force Awakens is by far my favorite film in the sequel trilogy and I have always wished I could end my Star Wars viewings on such a high note. This fanedit seeks to accomplish the same goals as my “TLJ - ‘The End’ Edition” edit, but this time with The Force Awakens being treated as an epilogue to the saga. The edit is still in progress but I have the skeleton of the film completed and it’s looking promising. Thus far, the changes are as follows:
The ending is proving to be the most difficult part of the film to get right. I have put together this VERY ROUGH proof of concept. I believe the idea is there but I am still going back and forth and which individual moments to keep or cut.

Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Could i get a download link?
Any thoughts on an edit of the sequel trilogy that finishes off the story with The Force Awakens/the battle of Stakiller base? I figure Snoke would likely need to be removed and Kylo could be implied to die when Rey slashes him in their fight. I’m still considering how to wrap up the Luke cliffhanger in a satisfying way. Maybe it could a short training montage and then credits after Rey slashes that rock in half.
Kill off Luke? Instead of having him go missing and the First Order rises in his absence, he dies and the First Order rises in his absense.
I don’t know how well it would work but that’s the only solution to the Luke cliffhanger I can think of.
Definitely would help. Thats really the only outstanding cliffhanger that would need fixing. He’s just kind of the driving force of the current movie so that would have to be changed.
This sounds awesome! My personal favourite idea that I’ve seen on here thus far. Is it still in progress? I’m most interested in your scene with Luke and Han aboard the Falcon and having Rey go with Finn and Han to Starkiller.
I have the 1080p MP4s downloaded and they seem great so far! Are these the highest quality versions? If not could I get a link? Thanks!
