These are really excellent, I have to say. Makes Leia’s character come to life.

The new Leia flashback test is really beautiful, I’ve gotta say. Thanks guys. This is why collaboration is always key in these things. Honestly, I think this should be in Ascendant v5:

I’m not sure if I’m gonna pursue the idea I had above only because future canon content certainly won’t oblige by it. The requirement of a “chosen one” being born of no father means the Jedi should have recognized that trend occurring in every generation at some point. But it was a fun thought experiment nonetheless.

Ooh I like that, with a little tuning on the mix it would be perfect.

The Rise of Skywalker: Chosen One Edition (WIP)
Time

The concept is great but I think it needs to be more snappy and fast-paced to blend in with TROS,
I made this ages ago, it might give some inspiration.

example
Ren opens Vader’s mask container
Smoke comes out
Jump cut to smoke blowing on Vader in the Forest
Quick dialogue
Jump cuts to saber clashes jump to choke
Back to Ren Meditating
Saber on ground
Saber through Vader
Back to Ren

'The Mandalorian &amp; Grogu' (Upcoming Movie) - General Discussion Thread

I think this is their logical best bet for a successful film debut after a long hiatus. Hopefully they will rely more on practical affects and traditional film making over the volume this time around (fingers crossed they film in Pinewood). I see this story heavily involving the New Republic/ Emperial Remnant putting into place the pieces for Filoni’s film, possibly even re introducing the OT cast.

Another shot. Tried to make things more blatant. Also tried to work in a more clear separation between the Dyad and the connection Snoke initially made.

“Rey… wherever you are… you are hard to find.”

“You are hard to get rid of.”

“I pushed you in the desert because I needed to see it… I needed you to see it… who you are. I know the darkness that lives in you, Rey…”

“You’re lying.”

“You were right… your parents were no one. But they did not start out as junk traders.”

“Don’t!”

“As loyal subjects of the Sith, they were first assigned with raising you…"

“I don’t want this!”

“…and then killing you."

“No!”

“But they’d grown to care for you, so they hid you from Palpatine.”

(Rey sees the vision of her parents and her abandonment.)
“Rey, my love… be brave.”
“You’ll be safe here… I promise.”
“Come back! Nooo!”

“They paid for your protection… in more than one way.”

“Stop talking.”

“Rey… I learned what happened to them.”

(Cutaway to heroes capture)

“Your parents sought Luke’s protection, searching the Jakku desert for his allies… but Palpatine’s assassins tracked them down. They resisted fiercely, only to be forgotten by the sands of time."

(Rey sees her parents get killed.)

“So that’s where you are.”

“You know why the Emperor’s always wanted you dead. I’ll come tell you.”

…etc

“Why did the Emperor come for me? Why did he want to kill a child? Tell me.”

“Because you were one of many experiments, Rey… Modeled after the Emperor’s genetic code, meant to host his lingering essence… Which chose another vessel,…”

“To them, you are nothing more than a leftover liability. But what Palpatine cannot see is that we’ve become a Dyad in the Force, linked by Snoke, but grown beyond that. We can end him and the Sith, and create something new, together…”

(Removes his helmet)

“You know what you need to do. You know.”

“I do.”

Very nice…it fits really well with pre TROS continuity, making the Palpatine connection much easier to swallow.

The New Republic Movie Series EPIV: A Threat From Beyond (An Ahsoka Series Edit) [RELEASED]
Time

What do you think of leaving out the scenes that have ashoka fighting her way back to paridea, that way you keep the suspense and anticipation of her return, maybe only keeping the shot of her calling to Sabine with the force as confirmation that she has arrived. So you would cut from her jumping to light speed until she comes to save the day pretty much. Which shaves a good bit for faster pacing.

Asokha Radical Redux Ideas thread
Time

For those struggling to keep their edits at the 2h30 range I don’t see why not cut the rather inconsequential and redundant scenes in which Ashoka makes her way to Paridia. I suggest leaving her after the " long time ago " scene with Huyang only to return to her either at round 2 with Baylan or Ashoka saving the crew from Shin. That way you cut a bunch of fluff and create suspense and anticipation.

<strong>Ahsoka</strong> (live action series) - general discussion thread
Time

I love the subtle messaging in this episode. Filoni really shows respect to the fans by not spoon feeding everything to them - leaving it open to interpretation.

“Live or die”

I see this as a sort of call to defiance against the absurd , ala Albert Camus.

Live life to the fullest regardless of the tragedies, the apparent meaninglessness, the darkness and cyclical nature of life.

Live in defiance.

Choose life no matter what.

Live, or die…

This one change would really elevate TROS and the trilogy as a whole.

When Rey first enters upon Sidious’ lair, she is not greeted with a zombie like Sith lord in a dark and hellish throne room, rather, she enters upon an ornately beautiful garden spectacle with a friendly looking Sheev Palpatine sitting on a bench (whether it is a vision or deception is beside the point - think Rebels S4) harkening back to Palpatine’s seductions of Anakin Skywalker. He plays on her family heart strings, and insecurities - alas for her to finally succumb to the dark side of the force. She is the one that unleashes the lightning on the fleet, until of course Ben Solo returns. A knight of the light - ultimately sacrificing himself in a demonstration of selflessness - in the spirit of his uncle before him. Rey is awoken by this heroic act and is inspired by the phantom of Anakin Skywalker to bring balance to the force - destroying
the Sith once and for all…
