I honestly think the TIE fighter should stay… sure it doesn’t make sense that a TIE fighter is still operational but it’s no more unlikely than Luke’s X-Wing. That moment in the theater when I saw the Tie and the X-Wing next to each other I actually freaked out it was so cool and such a cool moment to me.
Alright, some things with the 15-minute clip posted.
The pacing of putting the Falcon scene first was nice, but the issue is how they get that information from the FO before the FO has it.
The lack of establishing shots when transitioning from Exegol to Ajan Kloss and then from Ajan Kloss to Kylo’s room is unfortunate. Possibly doing a planet shot for the first transition and then just a static Destroyer shot for the second one. But then Audio becomes an issue…
Kylo’s vision with Vader’s helmet and then moving directly into reforging his mask was amazing and I loved it and it made me happy and I am so glad that it was thought of.
If I could edit I would do the opening something like this.
The crawl will not mention Palps, something more in line with Kylo’s power yet his insecurity in himself. A feeling.
Opening shot would be tie fighters going towards kylo’s ship just out in space (probably a reverse shot from TFA) with Kylo on the bridge staring into nothingness. Next shot is Kylo consulting the mask of Vader and seeing the vision from the film with added TLJ shots of Luke on Crait as well as a shot of Vader’s castle (recolored maybe). Then use the shot from the making of where Kylo places the mask on its pedestal.
We then cut to the forest massacre and the scene plays out from there.
What I think can add breathing room is Kylo’s vision, with quick cuts to all sorts of images that Palps is trying to show Kylo. Kylo see’s these visions and goes on a hunt for Palps because he starts to suspect that there is something more out there. After much thought, I do not think the broadcast should be used at all. That aspect is only in the crawl and expanded material anyways. Change it to Kylo consulting his Grandfather for direction and following the voices to Palps on Exegol.
Is the footage of Kylo placing Vader’s helmet in the pedestal at all usable?
The World between Worlds as it is called shows up a lot in Rebels. That is where the fan film got the idea. However, in Rebels the people in the nether realm do not actually have any sort of blue tint, they just are in that realm. I think make Luke appear normal and having his surroundings be all space would go a long way to helping the scene
I think it would be great to include Ahsoka’s intro but cut the Jabba subplot. Add in something else like clone cadets and the battle of Kamino. Then do Morris. Then do the intro of Savage and Maul. Then Ahsoka leaving. Then the chip episodes, yodas quest, then siege of Mandalore
Now if we can just get the purple lightsaber footage to blend with the Force Ghost footage that John has been working on
I think it would be better if they were more subtle and if they only appeared in a flash of lightning
I have no idea where this could be useful, but the actors that played Ezra and Mace (CW) are both on Cameo and it might be possible to have them say any new lines we might want?
JEDIT: also Snap Wexley
I hope you and your wife land on your feet! Stay safe out there, don’t feel any pressure to start up your project before you and your wife are financially and emotionally ready! Would you except donations from your Paypal during this time just for your own personal use?
It still hurts that we never got any deleted scenes.
Could I get a link
Could I get a PM for this edit, been looking for something that just adds as much in as possible
Maybe…
I feel like I’m waiting for the actual film. I check back every couple of weeks since it’s just so dang good
Oh my crap something actually leaked! Live action Star Wars from the era of George Lucas
I recently rewatched The Director and the Jedi documentary this week and I just had this sense of happiness about Star Wars again that is rare for me to feel.
I have had a ton a things happen to me in my personal life and it has been almost too much to handle, but while I was watching the documentary it felt like I was transported to just before the film came out. Things online were simpler, nicer (i guess). The sense of dread that I have been feeling around Star Wars discourse and online discourse in general just went away for a brief moment in time. I miss that.
If you’re looking for books I highly recommend the first two Myst books! Amazing story and writing, and you don’t need to play the old PC adventure game that they are based on to enjoy them
One thing that I don’t really like but I understand is the warping in the trailer for the Force Pushes. What was the impetus for it
Love it! Keep up the amazing work I can’t wait
Alright where am I gonna talk about this apparent Colin Trevorrow script leak…
I can’t believe this is real. The timing is just too convenient. It originated from a very specific corner of the internet that has a very specific agenda. Yet now main stream outlets (I say this tepidly) are picking up on and talking about the story.
Does anyone know of a way to commission custom steelbooks. The Best Buy next to my house is selling Fallout 76 steelbooks for $5 a pop since that game sold garbage
Here’s a bone headed idea. Obviously the crawl would have to be different and not reveal Palpatines survival, but… and hear me out.
We open up on the Falcon in flight to get information from Boolio, that whole scene plays out. Then we move to Rey training and that whole scene plays out and the change comes when Kylo is reaching out to her in the force.
Kylo reaches out and we get all of the flashes with some added TLJ Luke in there, then it smooths out and we see an editing version of Kylo’s excursion to Exegol. This way the reveal is for later in the film, but we still get to see it right before Poe informs the Resistence.
It makes sense also for Kylo to flash images of the Emporer to Rey since he is trying his best to manipulate her to the best of his ability, doing this would set her on edge at an earlier point.
I just like the idea of opening up on the Falcon too
I mean I was sitting in the theatre and when the emperor’s theme started playing over an image of Rey I literally freaked out at how similar they were. Being a music composition minor in my undergrad, this similarity might not have been planned from TFA but Williams clearly pushes the similarities for this film
A friend that I have known my entire life who came to my limited guest wedding is getting married next month…
I’m not invited
It seems everyone else in our tightly nit circle is going to be there. My parents were invited…
I was not invited
No matter who I ask they’re invited too. Pretty much everybody except for me.
