Also, to carry over discussion from the Ascendant thread: I like Rey using a tiny burst of Force Lightning when she shoves Finn, and if anyone does the VFX, I’d edit it into a personal cut of the movie if I ever make one.

I’d definitely consider it too.

Count me in with the people who wants to see this idea come to fruition for their own edit of TROS.

It’s a bit of a bummer that it won’t happen for Ascendant though. 😕

Also, this isn’t related to anything at all, but you know when Rey and Kylo are dueling on the Death Star, and Rey turns around and pushes Finn back? I was thinking it might be cool to have lightning shoot out and hit Finn, rather than a Jedi-like Force Push (kind of like when Snoke threw Kylo back in TLJ, he did it with a burst of lightning). Just like with the lightsaber sputtering out, it would symbolize that she’s dangerously close to losing control (something I never really felt in the theatrical version), and it would help to build to her stabbing Kylo in a cheap shot and then wanting to flee. (REY: “I’m here because I had a vision of myself on the Sith Throne.” LUKE: “Rey, that was 90 minutes ago! You haven’t even used any Sith powers since Pasaana, and that was four locations back!”)

God, just imagine it - the rain, the crackly saber, the bleak Duel of the Fates music…Rey accidentally loses control and shoots lightning at her friend (again), and then a minute later the legendary Skywalker Saber - that she failed to rebuild - starts to sputter out. She has utterly failed as a Jedi. It’s genuinely her lowest point in the film - makes a whole lot more sense why she would suddenly be so scared that she goes into hiding on Ahch-To.

UGH, I LOVE THIS.

Please let this become a reality.

Here’s an idea for an edit to the Battle of Exegol that uses some Vehicle Flythroughs footage:

Ooh… I like this!

I agree that while it looks cool, I would rather just have the original four.

So, I have… ahem… ACQUIRED the 1080p and 4K HDR versions of both the Vehicle Flythroughs and the Biomes special. I went ahead and put it on my GoogleDrive.

If anyone wants them, hit me up.

Personally speaking, I see no problem with the clip Sherlock posted. I think it looks natural enough.

How feasible do y’all think it would be to pull a LOTR and have the “History Lesson” scene be a prologue for the movie? How I imagine it, you would keep Gal Gadot’s narration and just have the scene play out normally, maybe even tack on the “They say the Age of Heroes is over…” line at the end and then go directly into the opening of the film proper.

Final draft of the version that includes episode six clocks in at 2 hours, 58 minutes. Nice lean theatrical length.

Nice! Would I be able to get a copy of this?

Also, did you see that they’re going to go and make a Captain America 4 with Sam in the role and the same guy who wrote this series writing it?

I sent you a PM not too long ago Anjohan but I’m not sure if you got it. I’d love to get the links to all of the GOT features you’ve done so far.

Also, I’m looking forward to the re-works that have the original GOT music in them!

I know others have mentioned the idea of Ben exiling himself on Ahch-To at the end of the movie. I believe Pablo Hidalgo said he actually suggested this idea when TROS was being developed. I think the best way someone could construct this ending would be to use shots of Ben standing on the edge of the Death Star ruins, before he talks with Han’s memory, and make it so Ben standing on that rock outcrop where Luke becomes one with the Force.

I think you could also maybe repurpose some footage from Silence (he looks older plus I know a lot of that movie has some cool shore shots and whatnot).

On the other hand, for those wanting Ben to join Rey, I think you could use footage from “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” (although to be perfectly fair, I actually haven’t seen this movie).

Sherlock, that seems like a pretty dope idea! I’d be interested in seeing an edit like that.

Sorry, I meant in aurebesh.

Besides graffiti, I didn’t think to much extra would be necessary. You can already hear blaster shots and stuff in the distance I believe, during certain points of the Kijimi sequence. I think adding more sounds of distant blaster fire, explosions, even battle cries, could help keep that in the audiences mind. It looks like the stormtroopers are raiding houses, so you could even have something like a distant First Order announcement saying anyone harboring insurgents will be punished, or something like that.

If this clip gets created with more battle noises and the graffiti/posters added, I will absolutely add some yells to the background

Same here! I was late to the party regarding the civilian fleet. So, I’d love to be included in this section if we’re able to work it out. 😄

I’d love to get a copy of this!

Well, it took 3 hours and still needs a ton of work, but here’s a mockup of what my idea would look like:

I like this idea quite a bit (and I low-key wish something like this would have happened with TROS to really signify it being the last movie in the series).

Anyways, my only critique is to maybe polish it up a little and try to use some footage that’s more obscure/hasn’t been used in the movies before.

The effect looks great but I’m not a huge fan of the idea in general. Sorry for being a Negative Nancy. 😕

Just quietly, I think this is one of my favorite small bits of editing I’ve done so far to this film:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fe-6n7XalPBHtDnJD7nDz9sG57ayMQYw/view?usp=sharing

LMAO.

I LOVE IT.

I don’t think we need to go too crazy with all those visions, jarbear. lol.

However, I do think your idea of using a 4K version of the movies and scaling them so they’re not 1:1 is a good idea though.

I’d like to get a PM of the two versions as well!

So, somewhat related to this concept:

Today, I remembered how a friend of mine made the discovery a couple of years ago that the last 50 or so minutes of The Last Jedi syncs up almost perfectly with a good chunk of Kanye West’s “The Life of Pablo”. Having seen some of the clips he had originally posted about it on Twitter, it really does sync up scarily well. Almost to “The Dark Side of the Rainbow” types of levels of synchronicity.

Anyways, I went ahead and followed his specific instructions and made an edit of it. If anyone wants a copy, just hit me up.

Here’s a stab at some dubbed 3PO lines:

The Sith fortress on Exegol is hidden from the light. The Wayfinders reveal the path to their acolytes. To those it chooses, only this blade tells.

I like the idea of having iambic pentameter or other poetic elements, save for rhyming. Even for SW, it seems weird to immediately translate into rhymed, poetic rendering.

I like the first one!

Re: re-dubbing 3-P0

Could we put in the deleted “is everyday like this for you people” line in there? Would it make any sort of sense?

I like the second crawl, Nev.

It may be possible to remove the Resistance officers from around Leia in that final shot, but would that be worth the effort?

For my money, I don’t think it is.

Every time Rey touches the dagger, she has a flash of the entire ROTJ Death Star II explosion sequence, complete with Special Edition Praxis ring. /s

You’re joking, but… I was actually just about to suggest maybe having a split second shot of it exploding to preserve the grand reveal of the wreckage.

Anyways, in regards to Rogue’s ideas, I like either Option B or C. The more we thread links to what both the actual film and the fan edit puts forth, the better.
