I dunno, I think since it’s the 3rd movie in her story, there should be a sign that she has grown and is now more mature.

He knows where she’s going because the knights of Ren are tailing her.

Has anyone thought about changing the Rey Skywalker line for the one in the behind the scenes documentary? I feel it sounds better, Daisy delivered the line in a much more solemn way, even shed a tear.

Got a link? Or was this on the blu-ray?

I’ll send you a PM.

Here’s an update to the final shot:

I made the falcon bigger, engines stronger, adjusted light speed jump direction, and smoothed the path a bit. There’s also a few other small enhancements, such as light wrapping as the falcon crosses the sun at snooker’s suggestion, and applying the general camera shake of the shot to the ship so it’s better integrated!

I also will be posting a version of snooker’s soon. He rendered out the falcon as a separate element for me to comp in, so we will have options!

Huge improvement! I think the turn that the falcon makes before it rises needs a little tune up, otherwise excellent job.

Hmm, wonder how easy it’d be to cut out the “First Order captain’s medallion.”

I think the cleanest way to do it would be to cut out any mention of it on the rooftop, removing it’s significance to Zori, turning her abrupt act of selflessness into just a “hey got this key hanging around, maybe you’ll need it”.

Some thoughts after viewing the Alpha (posting here instead of PM so others who watch it can comment):

• I like the reframing of the opening to be around the Sith Fleet prior to Palpatine’s reveal. I wasn’t sure it would work, but that’s not bad. One thing that needs changing during the Resistance discussion, which shouldn’t be too difficult I think, is Maz’s line. As Rey grabs the books to look up Exogol, Maz says “if we want to stop him, we must find Exogol.” That needs to be changed to “if we want to stop them,” since they’re now talking about a fleet, and not Palpatine or even Kylo.
• Kylo having the helmet in the meeting doesn’t really work here. For one, having this be Kylo’s first appearance in the movie is odd in general, as the scene’s not really built like a character introduction. Second, he already has the helmet which he dramatically destroyed early in the last movie, and while Hux questions it, this being our first sight of it makes the helmet’s return feel like a weird gag. And third, the very next scene, in your version, has him fighting on a battlefield with no helmet, which makes no sense because the movie just brought attention to the fact that he has one again.
• The galactic broadcast needs some restructuring, I think. From Palpatine’s smirk, we should cut (not wipe, since this is not really a new scene narratively-speaking) to an establishing shot of the planet Ajan Kloss as the message begins, which then cuts to the characters we know receiving the broadcast. Rose: “Listen… it’s on every frequency.” Then, now clear that this is an in-universe broadcast, we cut (not wipe) to other parts of the galaxy, during which we need to see civilians appearing to listen to the message, and not just zoomed out shots of planets and cities. Then end back on Kloss with our characters again. Also, it’s odd that the characters don’t really react to hearing Palpatine’s voice specifically, but you’ve already repurposed their discussion of Palpatine to be about the fleet, so I’m not quite sure what to do here.
• The scene where Rey “kills” Chewie is too heavy-handed. We don’t need to see literally baby Rey do the deed and hear “You killed your parents,” which leaves nothing for the audience to think about and distracts from the fact that Chewbacca (who we care about way more than Rey’s parents) may have just been killed. Simply having some small quick cuts to child Rey and the old ship, maybe with some small dark side element (not lightning, we’re about to see that anyway), should be enough to get the audience thinking of the implications, but don’t take focus away from the dramatic scene that’s actually happening in the present.
• Threepio speaking in a foreign language when Babu is hacking doesn’t really make sense. The whole reason they brought him to Kijimi is because they don’t know the language and need him to translate for them. In this version, the characters never actually hear the information they need, but head off to the correct location anyway.
• I know the recoloring is a work in progress, but Palpatine’s life force drain is too green, especially if everything else is going to be gray. I get that you want it to be like the magicks from extended universe material, but the fact that Palpatine doesn’t use green in any other scene (in this or any previous movie) just makes it more confusing.
• Both of Anakin’s ghost appearances seem out of place. I know people really wanted his ghost in this movie and don’t like Palpatine returning after the Chosen One prophecy is completed, but without having spoken with Rey earlier in the movie/series (directly, not just through the voices at the end), his appearance here is not justified by the story. His voiceline of “restore the balance, as I did” is all that’s needed to address the prophecy. If you were going to put multiple Jedi ghosts during the Father-Son Kamehameha, not just Anakin by himself, that would work with what’s happening in the scene, but his ghost shouldn’t appear at all on Tatooine because Rey does not know this person.

I share the same thoughts.
With regards to Rey killing her parents I would definitely suggest taking a more subtle approach especially in the Chewie death scene, I think there should be hints throughout the film leading up to Rey’s encounter with Ren on Kijimmi where he would confirm the audiences suspicions, that Rey indeed killed her parents, using this as leverage to goad her into joining him.

All I want to see is that deleted Kylo/Chewie interrogation scene.

Im a graphic designer not much of an editor, but I’ll take a stab at it since I have creative cloud and know how to use, Audition, Premier, and After Effects. I think its time I contribute something to the community instead of being a stalker.

FYI: Mace from the “The Ewok Adventures” is the best Star Wars character, possibly even of all cinematic history, that ever was created. So deep and complex! 😛

So I am going to write this down one more time… It got over looked probably because I rarely offer any suggestions, but I thought this idea of mine was pretty solid regarding moving the chess scene.

The idea of moving the chess scene is awesome and its wonderfully executed! I do have an idea… I think it would be great if there is a way to add a clip with R2 and 3PO watching the game. They are the only constant in the saga so they should be there in the end with their friends. Below is a scene from AOTC where 3PO tells R2, “for a mechanic you do a excessive amount of thinking.” There is enough dialog from 3PO to make him say, “For a Wookie you do a excessive amount of thinking.” Then you can do a cut to R2 doing a silly chirping noise like the link below. In that way they’re all together and all four of them are giving Chewie a hard time. Just like a bunch of siblings.

My thoughts are you see Chewie thinking then it cuts to 3PO and he says his line, then cut to R2 making a silly chirp noise basically agreeing with 3PO, then we cut to Poe and Fin, then the finally scene with Rey and BB-8 Thoughts?

I saw your post and I though it was neat idea, anything that adds more closure to the ending is welcome in my book! Just needs someone with the chops to implement it.

Your contributions will make a fine addition to our collection!

Exactly! If your selling point is the gender of the character than you’re story must be pretty shallow.

Anyone else thinking of cutting the Lando scenes on Passana? The scene is very messy pacing wise and it doesn’t really add anything except for some useless exposition. It would be better if the first time we saw him was his surprise appearance after Leia’s death.

Nice and short: https://vimeo.com/416400559
While I was at it I removed Rey’s “we’ll see”, I though that was a little out of character.
Also, for this cut to work, all mention of Ochi has to be omitted. He’s just a mysterious Sith skeleton, although Rey could mention him when reading Luke’s notes back on Ajan Kloss.

omnimuffin said:

I’d personally at least try to remove at least ‘all the’, so that it’s just ‘I… am… Jedi’

I agree with you, it also hearkens back to Luke’s “I’m a Jedi, like my father before me.”

I think the ghost’s just standing there in the background while Rey engages Palpatine’s lightning looks a little weird, maybe you could have them with their hands raised up.

Guys what if the nature of Han’s appearance was left ambiguous, cutting the line about being just a memory. In the Tatooine scene we see the ghost’s of Luke Leia and (ghost/alive Ben), now imagine a very faint yet visible Han Solo appearing right beside Leia, finally the big 3 together at the very end. A wholesome send off to our childhood heroes.
Like someone on another thread said, forget about canon that’s the ending I want to see!

Edit: You know, if they went with this for the theatrical cut, you can bet your asses they would have written an elaborate yet somewhat convincing explanation in a book somewhere.

For all we know… Boba fett could have been chilling out on Tatooine in old man Luke’s hut for all this time 😉

But that would make three of the planets in this movie Sith in nature. Four, if you count the Death Star moon.

Well, it would give the film a heart of darknessy aesthetic (as mentioned somewhere in the doco), falling into hell’s abyss, deeper and deeper until they reach the bottom - Exogol, Satan’s lair.

Since its where we learn all about the sith loyalists, the dagger and Luke and Lando’s search, I think it would be more interesting if passana was a sith planet, with rocky temples and old statues scattered throughout. This could be done by adding a little red hue to the sand and altering some of the Jedda shots.

Simple, cut the reveal from the original film, delaying the reveal to when Rey senses that he’s alive on the destroyer.
