Imagine if they could still force Skype, maybe a certain vergence and voila, little reylo babies…

Found an awesome 2.3 h movie edit of the series on Reddit, highly recommended everyone give it a watch.

Honestly don’t think there’s enough story there to warrant 2 movies.

I wonder if it would be possible to change the main focus from the twins to Sol. Start the film with Sols perspective of the events on Brendock and have the twins mainly as the secondary plot…

Very bizarre that they reveal Osha and Mae are the same person, and yet they chose two very distinctly different child actors for the flashbacks.

I think I’d be most interested in an edit of this show which completely removes both flashback episodes, but still includes episode 8 - which it doesn’t look like you’re doing here. I think letting the audience decide what happened that night completely on their own is much more satisfying than whatever the hell all that was. As it stands, Torbin doesn’t have sufficient motivations to end himself, the leader of the coven is to blame for her own death by not explaining her decision upfront, and Sol doesn’t explain himself to Osha for some reason. It’s just so much easier to remove all of this problematic writing and let the audience come up with their own explanations.

One other cool change I’d like to see someone make is shifting the Plagueis cameo to the very end of the edit, so that he is watching Osha and his apprentice instead of just watching their ship take off earlier. I think it would be pretty easy to digitally paint out the ship leaving in that shot. And then completely remove the Yoda cameo, since no matter what she says to him, Yoda either becomes an idiot or complicit in all this.

EDIT: The guy above me beat me to it, lol.

I agree. Either remove the flash back episodes completely or sprinkle in relevant parts of the flashbacks from the prospectives of Mae and OSHA respectively. At least you could put the excessive wake up shots to use !

If the Acolyte gets a season 2 (big If) I hope they at least change the writers if not the show runner. The story of Darth Plagueis the wise deserves Andor/HBO style drama writing, nothing less.

It’s starting to feel like this show endured heavy reshoots or at the very least was entirely reworked in post. I’m willing to bet episode 7 originally acted as the opening episode. Also would explain the massively inflated budget.

I feel like we’re in for a roshoman scenario that will give us a new perspective on this episode hence why I’m still going to hold back judgement until the end of the season

At first I scoffed at the immense ambition of this edit but after checking it out on recommendation, I have to say, this is as close to Lucas’ sequel trilogy we’re gonna get! Fellas, don’t sleep on this one.

I hope we can get new and improved versions of this edit as time goes by because even as proof of concept it truly touches the essence of the classic EU and George’s mythos.

I do think it kinda works better if he’s trying to put them at odds with one another rather than join together. Especially because Rey’s vision can only possibly show Daisy on the throne, not along with Kylo. Even though they refer to such a thing in the original film, no such footage exists.

Agreed

What do you think of the last line though
“Who is she?”
“…Our blood…”

Although very crude, this edit might give you some inspiration with the Palpatine/skywalker/rey blood connection (watch till the end)

Anyone know the context of this deleted Anakin/Palpatine scene and if it still exists somewhere?

I agree that I’d have liked to see Luke haunt Kylo Ren in Ep9. But it doesn’t feel right to wedge in a sentence or two over voiceover. Luke is clearly introduced to us on Ach-To and by then there’s no Kylo Ren to haunt. I just don’t think it works.

What if we dispersed Luke’s dialogues with Kylo throughout the film, especially when Ren is alone.

For example

• when he holds Vader’s helmet he can have an inner dialogue with Luke.
• When he is on exogol on his way to Palpatine.
• When he telepathically talks to palpatine on the star destroyer.

Can we get Luke talking to Kylo somewhere in this film?
I feel like Luke has to make good on the promise “See you around kid” from TLJ. Otherwise we got ourselves another empty chekhov’s gun.

If not for my childhood being inextricably tied to Star Wars, I’d be asking the same question…

hey guys is Star Wars bad

Trailer looks intriguing but again, Lighting lighting lighting, looks like a basic flat looking disney show.

From a PR perspective it would have made more sense for the Empire to market Vader as Anakin Skywalker, the hero of the clone wars and the only Jedi loyal to the empire…

Any updates on this? Would love to see your hard work!

Plus one.

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

Behold, the world of filmmaking has officially changed forever.
Pandora’s box has been ripped asunder!

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.

Thanks for sharing that though. Apparently there is a shot with both Kylo and the mask in frame, which I had no idea existed because I haven’t watched original TROS in ages.

That shot is from the BTS docu.

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.
