It’s mentioned 3 times, “I will earn your brothers saber” and “Leia’s saber”, “she surrendered her saber to me” on Achto.
All could easily be replaced/removed.
That’s fair and all kidding aside, one of the advantages of the original opening is that it prefaces a passage of time where there has been a broadcast and Kylo has been on the search for the wayfinder for a while, which works for TROS as a self contained film but in the context of the final film in the trilogy I feel like it’s kind of a slap in the face where you either go along with it by suspending your disbelief or phase out.
Thanks I appreciate the feedback, I’ll keep you guys posted as I work on this (with the mastermind goal of eventually convincing Hal into using this Mwahaha)
I’m sure the dialogue could be worked around.
-Rey - “your saber.”
-Luke - “you will take both sabers to Exogol.”
Soo, here’s my very early stage concept of Lord Ren’s Seat of Power on Coruscant.

This plays in to my proposed restructuring of the first act of the film.
Anyone else think it would be cool to have Luke give his green saber to Rey on achto instead of Leia’s, makes more sense that he would have it hidden in his hut.
Having Rey using both Anakin and Luke’s saber to defeat Palps would feel quite whole sum.
Yeah I think that’s the one.
That would be cool especially since according to Ian he was a lot more zombie-like in the original script, but they eventually decided that they needed to tone it down.
He gets it all back in the end soo its all good.
You could intercut it in slomo while Kylo gets stabbed like this.

Also! I will work on the effects for the extended Luke and Leia fight.
Looking forward to seeing That!
Glad you enjoyed it, means alot coming from you guys. I’m optimistic that it could be done, we’ll just need to work smarter.
Maybe with some smart zooming and playing around with the frames the camera’s could be navigated around.
Ooh very clever, that’s definitely worth persuing. I just don’t have the chops for it lol.
Played around with opening the film with Leia reminiscing back to her training with Luke.

Yeah but Iger could have easily vetoed that, he clearly doesn’t have the chops to write deep and complex stories like star wars. Rian would have certainly gone in a completely different direction if given all 3 films, pity.
What’s done is done I guess, let the past die an all that.
Im sure there are a lot of good shots of Adam smiling out there.
I think it’s worth a try.
I wish they had stuck with Micheal writing all 3 films instead of opting for a rush job.
JJ was on as the director,and a pretty capable one, but by no means should they have replaced an Oscar winning writer for him.
I think adding R2 and 3PO with Rey and Tattoine is a must.
It’s also pretty doable.
Hey there! Welcome to the forums. What do you think of rearranging the ghosts around with Anakin as the head, Luke and Leia than finally Ben in the foreground? Basically a generational handing of the skywalker name leading to Rey, in chronological order.
I would have enjoyed it if not for the terrible prop design, looked like something straight out of Power Rangers.
Great comedic animation of Duel of the fates by mrsundaymovies.

Not a long timer on this site so seeing this is pretty mind blowing especially TPM and ROTJ Stuff.
Love the use of old Coruscant concept art!
I wonder if we could have the dyad concept introduced in The Force Awakens. Maybe when Kylo and Snoke first speak via hologram, it could go something like this.
Snoke: There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?
Kylo Ren: The dark side…
Snoke: -And the light.
Kylo Ren: A dyad in the Force…
Oh I like that.
