Atom-88

Hi mate, hope you and your family are all having a lovely Christmas.
Ok so as promised I finally gave V2 a second viewing, I found it a big improvement over V1 bit there were things I still didn’t quite like.

(If you haven’t seen this edit yet but plan on watching please beware of spoilers for this edit)

The things I loved:

*Kylo’s presence when Rey’s training.

• The scene of the Troopers landing in Mustafar. I thought it made the battle a bit more impactful by showing this.

• The cut humour about the raid on Pasana.

• The Force Healing of the Giant Worm. For me this one is like a catch 22, If we got to see force healing in the other movies then maybe it wouldn’t feel so forced. But then do we see Obiwan force heal Luke in A new hope🤷.

• Rey not destroying Kylo’s ship on Pasana. Yep very good continuity catch, never really noticed this before lol.

• Hux’s “I’m the Spy” line. This never really bothered me until a recent viewing.

• The extended shots of Rey on the skimmer. Can’t remember seeing this in other versions.

• Kylo on Corasant.
  No reason why but just liked seeing this.

• C3PO not getting his memory back. Hated the scene of him getting his memory restored, it made his sacrifice pointless.

• Lando on the Falcon with Chewie before leaving for Exegol. Just like the extended shots of Rey on the Skimmer I don’t recall seeing this before.

• Lando and Janna scene. Another scene I don’t recall seeing.

• C3PO ending scene. Won’t go into details as I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone else but holy s@#t did you bring A tear to my eye.

Ok so now for the things I wasn’t such a huge fan of.

• Leia heals Kylo.
  I like the idea I really do think it’s an amazing idea but for me it doesn’t work VFX wise, reason being as with you other ST edits you have put it so much work and some really amazing ideas for me it feels because the VFX are not there it lets it down.

• Kylo lives. as mentioned above, if the VFX were there maybe it just doesn’t fit for me personally and like before with all the work you have put in with these amazing edits it just let’s this down.

• I feel the some of the scene’s at the beginning may need some rearranging. We see A star destroyer blow a planet up but don’t see Palpatine til later, similar with Kylo telling the first order commanders about Palpatine. Just feel these could use a little rearranging.

All in all very good work mate👍.

Thank you Hal, this is truly an amazing edit and achievement. Thank you for sharing, Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you and your loved ones all have a safe and wonderful Christmas.

Much love form Atom and Family.

I think the colour correction looks a lot better than the comparison shot, so I would say they seem just right mate👍.

Good to hear Eyepainter, would love a link once completed 😁

Oh wow! I was gone to get some food and video games to come back and find out that I’ve helped out a great deal.

I was only bringing something to mention, but I’m real glad I actually did something good for the edit. Your welcome, everyone!

You have brought hope to those in the galaxy that had none.

I just finished Episode II and if I said I liked both Episodes I & II I would be lying because I loved them and even tho I have seen the series certain scenes still give me goosebumps lol. The scene layouts, cut transitions, everything just flows so smoothly and beautifully. As much as I love the series I can’t help wish that we got these officially released instead. Absaloutley amazing work Smudger, thank you for sharing them with me.

Thank the maker and Master Lawdog🙌

Sounds good to me also👍😁

The new colour grade look really good and so much better especially with the blue tint gone, looking forward to seeing this edit👍

Yes, Kylo is getting played, but that is what you’d expect. That is what Palpatine is known for. He played the Jedi Council and the Senate, too.

Yes but he was also able to easily play the senate mainly because He Is The Senate😂

Ohh wow I will admit I was very skeptical about cutting the droid factory until I just viewed and I’d say it works very well.

Awesome work Octorox👍

Hal 9000 said:

Again, I do like this idea and wish it could be fully realized without seams. But by this point my TFA edit is a diet version of Nev’s Starlight, and my TLJ edit is a diet version of poppasketti’s Rekindled, so I wonder what this edit will end up a diet version of??

I don’t see them as Diet Hal, without your hard work we wouldn’t have half of what we have. I haven’t been around the forums as long as a lot of you but have seen enough to know that almost all editors take inspiration from your edits and even use them as their main to work off.

As for TROS this seems to be the fan bases main thread.

Hal 9000 said:

However, showing his ghost is the natural capstone on his redemption story. Without it, it leaves the audience to say, “Oh, well. I guess he’s in Jedi hell.”

🤣🤣🤦

Ohhh wow only now catching up with this thread Anakin, some really good ideas👍

Knowing how much work and effort you put into your edits I’m sure it will👍

Very good good work Eyepainter 👍, I think your version works much better as we don’t need to see too much of miles typing away as we already know he’s doing, really looking forward to see what else you end up doing with this👍.

I would also love to check this out please. Thank you in advance👍

Take 2 on the full “Captain Hux”. Does it sound any smoother?

Are you planning on doing something with Chewie’s death fake-out, Acbagel?

He did Cam, sorry if my post made it sound like he hasn’t, I was just pointing out some of the theatrical points not Acbagel’s.

We don’t see Hux reveal Chewie instead Rey senses him later.

Will the audio be updated to 5.1 or will that be in the final release?

😳😮🤯these changes sound awesome, would absaloutley love a link when it’s available please😁.
