Alleged leak of an early draft of JJ Abrams’ Rise of Skywalker featuring Coruscant and Jedi Finn

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
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!

With this text to video AI, all your crazy ideas are in reach of complete realisation
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.

Ren opens Vader’s mask container
Smoke comes out
Jump cut to smoke blowing on Vader in the Forest
Quick dialogue
Jump cuts to saber clashes jump to choke
Back to Ren Meditating
Saber on ground
Saber through Vader
Back to Ren
I think this is their logical best bet for a successful film debut after a long hiatus. Hopefully they will rely more on practical affects and traditional film making over the volume this time around (fingers crossed they film in Pinewood). I see this story heavily involving the New Republic/ Emperial Remnant putting into place the pieces for Filoni’s film, possibly even re introducing the OT cast.
Remember the line “See you around kid”? Someone made a convo between Luke and Kylo that really fits well in my opinion.

Another shot. Tried to make things more blatant. Also tried to work in a more clear separation between the Dyad and the connection Snoke initially made.
“Rey… wherever you are… you are hard to find.”
“You are hard to get rid of.”
“I pushed you in the desert because I needed to see it… I needed you to see it… who you are. I know the darkness that lives in you, Rey…”
“You’re lying.”
“You were right… your parents were no one. But they did not start out as junk traders.”
“Don’t!”
“As loyal subjects of the Sith, they were first assigned with raising you…"
“I don’t want this!”
“…and then killing you."
“No!”
“But they’d grown to care for you, so they hid you from Palpatine.”
(Rey sees the vision of her parents and her abandonment.)
“Rey, my love… be brave.”
“You’ll be safe here… I promise.”
“Come back! Nooo!”“They paid for your protection… in more than one way.”
“Stop talking.”
“Rey… I learned what happened to them.”
(Cutaway to heroes capture)
“Your parents sought Luke’s protection, searching the Jakku desert for his allies… but Palpatine’s assassins tracked them down. They resisted fiercely, only to be forgotten by the sands of time."
(Rey sees her parents get killed.)
“So that’s where you are.”
“You know why the Emperor’s always wanted you dead. I’ll come tell you.”
…etc
“Why did the Emperor come for me? Why did he want to kill a child? Tell me.”
“Because you were one of many experiments, Rey… Modeled after the Emperor’s genetic code, meant to host his lingering essence… Which chose another vessel,…”
“To them, you are nothing more than a leftover liability. But what Palpatine cannot see is that we’ve become a Dyad in the Force, linked by Snoke, but grown beyond that. We can end him and the Sith, and create something new, together…”
(Removes his helmet)
“You know what you need to do. You know.”
“I do.”
Very nice…it fits really well with pre TROS continuity, making the Palpatine connection much easier to swallow.
Would love to check this out, mind shooting me a link?
Bravo to everyone involved this was a pretty enjoyable watch.
What do you think of leaving out the scenes that have ashoka fighting her way back to paridea, that way you keep the suspense and anticipation of her return, maybe only keeping the shot of her calling to Sabine with the force as confirmation that she has arrived. So you would cut from her jumping to light speed until she comes to save the day pretty much. Which shaves a good bit for faster pacing.
For those struggling to keep their edits at the 2h30 range I don’t see why not cut the rather inconsequential and redundant scenes in which Ashoka makes her way to Paridia. I suggest leaving her after the " long time ago " scene with Huyang only to return to her either at round 2 with Baylan or Ashoka saving the crew from Shin. That way you cut a bunch of fluff and create suspense and anticipation.
Someone made a Mustafar roto in the wbw scene

I love the subtle messaging in this episode. Filoni really shows respect to the fans by not spoon feeding everything to them - leaving it open to interpretation.
“Live or die”
I see this as a sort of call to defiance against the absurd , ala Albert Camus.
Live life to the fullest regardless of the tragedies, the apparent meaninglessness, the darkness and cyclical nature of life.
Live in defiance.
Choose life no matter what.
Live, or die…
