Am I the only person who didn’t mind Rey Palpatine?
Yep.
Am I the only person who didn’t mind Rey Palpatine?
Yep.
Canto Bight with fires, rioting, space guillotines.
YES
What is left to do for v1?
The BF2 footage doesn’t really look less gamey than anything out of the prequel, i think is ok.
Here’s an intended-as-final Mustafar sequence.
I think it looks/feels great, people that doesn’t now/play battlefront 2 would think that is just a normal film cgi.
Since Ascendant is sticking with Rey Palpatine
Wasn’t Hal going to do 2 versions? was the “Rey nobody” version cancelled?
Here’s another presentation of a mustafar opening.
It’s great!
Watched the 2nd workprint, great work! the film flows a lot better with those changes, i’m hyped for a “Rey Nobody” version, if you ever get to release it.
Kylo’s “You are a Palpatine.”
Every time i hear that line i cringe and die a little inside 😛
it’s extremely conservative and too close to the original.
I feel the same after watching it, this is the most conservative Hal9000 edit.
- PLEASE remove “They fly now?!”
In all Star wars era and canon there was always a rocket tropper, that joke makes the writers look like casuals that doesn’t know anything about star wars canon and lore, even more becoming from finn who was a stormtrooper.
It should be removed.
it feels hollow.
TROS in a Nutshell.
Very good point. Anakin had a vision of Padme dying which made him turn to the Dark Side, and the vision still came true.
Luke saw a vision of kylo killing everything he loved, kylo caused Leia and Han’s death.
Might be too weird.
I don’t think that is too weird, before TROS i thought that he wasn’t really palpatine but the darkside of the force directly speaking through him, he using the voice of other sith more times than the prologue , would make the whole thing more mythical and less mundane.
Can you cut out the part where Rey is levitating with rocks orbiting her? It would do wonders for never seeing her levitate again and would make her seem less overpowered
She had ancient Jedi texts to read during 1 year, i don’t see the problem with her levitating
The dagger is the least of the movie’s problems.
That is why i think that the “Conservative” approach is not going to work with this movie.
This movie is such a shallow mess, that it needs radical changes in order to be worthy finale to the saga…

Anakin going to rescue Shmi
I forgot about that one xD
It would be awesome to have a mix of themes for the duel that include Rey’s, Kylo’s and DOTF.
Agreed.
Eh, I’ve seen the Battle of the Heroes and DotF music mentioned multiple times here, but personally don’t know why we’d want to borrow a prequel-specific theme for the final Kylo/Rey duel.
-This is suppose to be the ending of all episodes, it should also include PT OST, not only OST from the OT.
-DOTF was promised in several tv spots:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjdjyvnOGtg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCByZ0oiaxQ
-DOTF is the most emblematic and epic lightsaber duel soundtrack of the entire saga, and it should be in the final lightsaber duel.
-Kylo v Rey duel is suppose to be a motif to Anakin’s and Obi-wan Duel in mustafar
-This movie doesn’t have anything meaningful to say and is just fan service, the more fan service that could be included that helps to tie the entire saga, the better.
-Myself and a lot of people wanted/expected DOTF in that movie as john williamns promised that every iconic soundtrack of SW was going to be in TROS.
-DOTF is awesome is a shame that only is present in 2 of 9 films.
-Hal9000 if you don’t really want DOTF in the main TROS audio, at least put an alternative audio that includes it, for those who really want it in the movie (like myself) :d.
I’ve been playing with audio clips to see how feasible it is to replace ‘Final Order’ with ‘Sith Eternal’.
hmmm why not put empire? to imply that is still the same old empire, after all palpatine is still alive with a fleet, the ending of ROTJ wasn’t respected at all by TROS anyway.
The final order…ugh… is posible to remove that name from the film?
that wig is even worse than the blue effect.
That wig has to go.
Did anyone else find it odd that Palpatine was never referred to as Sidious in TROS? Luke dropped “Darth Sidious” in TLJ, but in a movie with "Darth Sidious "as the main villain and with a sith cult that follows him, nobody calls palpatine by his sith name.
Feels strange for luke to call him palpatine after TLJ 😕
Rewatched the movie again… ugh this movie awful shallowness is killing me.
Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren has traveled to Mustafar in search of a rumored Imperial fleet that would allow him to destroy any threat to his power…
I’m not sure about that part, a rumored imperial fleet from where and why?
I think that would be better if kylo was investigating a rumored rouge Imperial fleet still loyal to “Snoke”.
A thought has occurred to me, is posible to have both “Just Rey” and “Rey Skywalker” in the film.
Replacing “And… i’m all the jedi” with “And… i’m just rey” we get rey finally accepting who she is and how unnimportant her origin actually is, after accepting her own “value” and defeating palpatine, she considers herself worthy of the name skywalker .
