Star Wars: <strong>The Rise Of Skywalker</strong> Redux Ideas thread

Made a mockup of a previous idea:

Put the arrival of the civilian fleet after Palpatine shocks the Resistance, allowing Rey’s lowest point and Poe’s lowest point to coincide so that the tone doesn’t flip-flop as much. Because most of the shots include ships that haven’t arrived yet, I changed it so that Palpatine only electrocutes the Tantive IV. I also added music from Revenge of the Sith and Jonh’s ghosts.

Haunting, mesmerising… beautiful.

I posted an idea earlier about changing Finn’s first line in the movie since him saying R2’s name felt a bit awkward but nobody jumped on it so I pulled out the only program I had (iMovie) and did my best to make a mock-up of what it could look/sound like.

I was able to cobble together 3 options.

The audio is very janky and it almost seems for the unaltered audio that there are two channels on top of each other, but in iMovie I don’t really know how to deal with that.

Let me know what you think!

Those are pretty good. “look sharp” would be my pick.

Poor Finn, his character was so mishandled. The most interesting thing about him from TFA was a stormtrooper who turned (showing storm troopers could be more than just drones) that would have been something totally new and have his character build upon that with the Star Wars brand. (Which the leak Dual of the Fates script built upon, that was a good direction IMO)

… and then in this movie … the crew meets up with A WHOLE PLATOON OF TURNED STORMTROOPERS who essentially said “Hey, you know what was cool and unique with your character at the beginning of the trilogy, not so unique anymore! (cue in Nelson’s “Ha Ha!”)”

Anyway, with the whole thing regarding Finn’s proclamation of not telling Rey something. It was still baffling in theaters what HE wanted to say to her, but also, the context of the scene. (Yes, we see throughout the movie it heavily implies he is force sensitive, but again, not really points to what he wanted to say to her.)

The crew, made up of close friends, are probably about to be buried in quicksand and die. The last thing while he wants to say before he dies to his close friend is “I may be force sensitive?!”

Just think about it. The logic and context of the scene is baffling. Let’s say you are with a bunch of friends swimming in the ocean and you all get caught by an under current. You are all about to drown, and one of your friends turns to you and says: “INSERT NAME HERE, I always wanted to tell you I can bowl a perfect 300 game!”

Impressive. Yes. Interesting? Sure. But in that context, makes no sense to blurt out as his/her dying last words.

So although I don’t think you can get around that scene, the context of it MAKES NO SENSE for him to shout that out. You ASSUME you are about to die. That’s what his last dying word(s) will be for that moment? So for me its the context of the scene. That’s what I have a problem with it, personally. On top of that … he then keeps it as a secret the whole time? Really?

That ends my TED Talk.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, hit the nail on it’s head.
I say we axe that entire plot thread.

Looks like no one new has joined in awhile. Am I really the first new recruit in 2020?

Anyway, heard about Harmy and looking around to find out about what y’all do. Glad to be here!

EDIT: Oh, I see I was looking at it backwards. I’m not the first 2020 newbie. LOL
