Oh I agree. Personally I’m leaning more towards IIFaneditor’s concept, except I would change the dialogue so that it goes like this.

“what’s the message?”

-holographic/transmission sound-

“At last the work of generations is complete, the day of victory is at hand, the day of the sith.
Send the fleet to the galaxy…let it burn.
The Final order begins”
“Yes my lord”

All that transpired regarding the rise and fall of the repulic is addressed as the work of generations. Same reaction shots, more context to the story. Spy plot is teased. Best of ALL, no half arsed introduction from Poe.
A few birds with one stone, if you ask me.

Does anyone have an edit of Palpatine’s speech added in? I think I’d vastly prefer that against just them talking about it 😕

The leaked message being Palpatine’s orders to Pryde mixed with some dialogue from fortnight acts as a compelling alternative to “what’s the message?.. Somehow… pAlPAtiNe ReTUrnEd”. It also acts as a miss direction for the audiance, making them suspect Pryde as the Spy, when it’s actually Hux.

I just hated that goddamm Palpatine reveal at the resistance base. Having them react to Palpatine’s voice instead is just so much more impactful. In my opinion.

For the saber toss, I remember there was a much more dramatic take of that from the documentary. It seamed to really fit with the TFA ending. The issue was the string holding the saber being visible, and that Luke’s hand was pre-CG.

That would have been great to see, showing that Obi Wan knew all this time that Anakin was with Padme would have further enriched their character dynamic.

Edit: here’s the dialogue from the novelisation.

Yeah it’s the one before Anakin’s fall. Seams like there’s a lot that we haven’t seen from the prequels, deleted scene wise.

I saw a snippet in the doco of a deleted scene between Obi and Padme talking at her apartment before Anakin arrived. Does it exist somewhere and do we know what they talked about?

Was there a deleted scene between Obi and Padme talking at her apartment before Anakin arrived. Does it exist somewhere and do we know what they talked about?

No. That could potentially endanger the survival of this site. The last thing we need is to bring more attention to ourselves. I think people should find their way here instead of vice-versa. Its a niche corner of the galaxy, I’m sure most of us would like it to stay that way.

Yeah Lando was a highlight. I wonder if they’ll do something post ROTJ with him.

I’m surprised there’s not much noise about the lack of deleted scenes outside the fan-edit community.

He’s actually a professional film director in Spain. Probably got a lot on his plate.

“Comme home” is being done by DominiCobb. You would need a “you” to replace “There’s still light in him” I would suggest using “Me, you” from Leia’s discussion with Han in TFA.

For Leia’s death I think it would nice to extend her dialogue using lines from TFA: “there’s still light in him, I know it” could be used make “Ben, come home, there’s still light in you, I know it”

This guy on youtube did something similar.

The shot of the medal could be played with, rotation, messing with the angle should make it fit.

Would be cool to do something in the style of Solo’s crawl. "It is a lawless time…

Can we get more “Anthem of Evil” in there? It would be great to hear it through-out the space battle

My take on that is that JJ and Terrio rewrote and reshot so much that the scenes that ended up getting deleted didn’t really match the rest of the film.

Just a tiny detail, but there’s an unused shot of Poe reacting to Lando’s entrance that works really well.

Let’s be clear, the cut of Justice League released in theaters didn’t represent Zack’s vision, but it’s not like he had a finished alternate cut just waiting in the wings. Otherwise, WarnerMedia wouldn’t be spending 20-30 million dollars so he can finish his version. The Snyder cut never “existed”, it’s a new cut being created now.

Similarly, there’s no finished alternate cut of Rise of Skywalker lying in a vault somewhere, and unlike with Snyder, there’s been no indication that Abrams doesn’t stand behind the movie he made. The problems with Rise of Skywalker are honestly pretty typical of Abrams filmmaking style, the guy is notoriously bad at endings, and we know the production was rushed. I don’t see this being a case of studio meddling.

I don’t know about studio meddling, but there was definitely meddling with TROS. George Lucas got involved, multiple endings were shot, even internet fan theories were on the table, etc. It sounded like a mess, which is completely antithetical to what we saw in that documentary The Skywalker Legacy released by the studio. Regardless, I’d love to see all that deleted/alternate footage.

IMO, it’s just crazy that JJ’s best film and his worst film ended up being in the same trilogy.

The source for the alternate ending and George Lucas involvement is non other than master Doomcock, the internet’s Galactic overlord…

“You’re a Palpatine” isn’t great either. Maybe cut both? So he says “You have his power,” Rey reacts, and hes goes on with “My mother was…”

Might cut the scene too short though, and it’s supposed to be the huge dramatic reveal.

I’m down for this.

Eventually, probably if Dom ever finishes his edit.

FTFY

Seriously though, what happened to him? He hasn’t posted much of anything for a while, and he hasn’t made any updates on his TROS edit for a long time.

He probably has a social life, unlike our hive of scum and villainy😂

It’s most likely just a JJ-ism. TFA also had A LOT of its meat cut out.

-The flashback sequence explaining how the Saber reached Maz
-Flashback of young Ben being dropped off at Lukes temple
-New Republic subplot
-Constable Zuvio subplot
-Resistance superweapon subplot
-Phasma on Takodana
-Maz giving Leia the saber
-Maz using the force to break the heroes out of the castle
-Unkar hunting down Rey.
-and more stuff.

I guess JJ got away with it then but it seems to have caught up with him in TROS.
My pipe dream is for Disney to eventually release the Assembly cuts of all the star wars films on Disney plus.

That’s some incredible stuff I gotta say. Looks like we’ve found Adywan’s secret apprentice.

“It’s treason, then.”
