I’m trying to give Rey’s crackling Saber a different effect than Kylo’s. This may not be the best example but the core white is more his style but what are your thoughts on more outer blue crackle than core instability?

I agree with Ax that we need to see it in motion to determine it.

Comparing with shots of Kylo’s saber affect with these stills … it SEEMS like the second shot is “less” like Kylo’s to help it be distinctive. However, need to see it in motion to really tell.

^ Was referring to the “why don’t you just build a model” comment.

Wait … why don’t we just completely replace most of the movie with our own stuff! Yeah! 😄

Jake, the second clip works really well with Rey’s part. I like that much better … it’s such a goofy line in context in the original scene since … she’s not. Plus a funny take away from that too is she’s pretty much saying “Who cares if you are all the Sith, I’m a Jedi” and defeats him. Lol.

Although I don’t think its feasible … but would love if the whole Sith ritual/transfer/all the Sith aspect of the movie was removed … but there is only so much you can do. Lol.

As a giant dork, I am legally compelled to note that the canon reason it doesn’t break the ANH rules is that the ‘skips’ are precalculated at the outset, before any jump takes place.

Lol, let me guess, in the book/tweet/something outside of the movie? Oh boy, this is another one of those bandaids like “caused a space time disruptions to be seen thousands of lightyears away” with StarKiller base and seeing the distractions of the New Republic. Oh JJ …

Another reminder … Thank you Hal for removing this scene!

No worries. I’ve done it too, thought I was missing something.

That was the beauty of the originals … time/travel time were left ambiguous. We were not given timers … since that would cause all sorts of issues to try and "make it 100% logical/explainable for science/laws/etc. How long did it take the crew to get to Alderan? We aren’t told. How long did it take the crew to get to Cloud city without a hyperdrive? We don’t know. Those scenes were split up with other scenes/locations that gives “the illusion of time” occurring. Simple and works.

That’s why I appreciate the removal of the “timer” in this edit about the “Palpy fleet attack.” Again, like the Last Jedi we are told things happening in hours and the “hero’s” are all traveling and doing things “within hours” and makes it … unbelievable. Also, the light speed skipping breaks “the rules/laws” from ANH. Heck, it breaks the movie before it it’s rule on how it works. LOL it was just bad, period.

It’s bad to make a created story that tells you at the beginning “Oil and Water do not mix” and then later show water mixing with oil." Takes you out of that world the author/creator is creating. A big no-no in story telling.

Also Jonh, again, great work with the haircut. Comparing it with the original “wig” it’s night and day difference.

It is an interesting thing to think about - how far did they go on their first light speed jump? And would it make sense with the whole chances of running into a star or other debris?

The speed of light is 299,792,458 m / s

Being generous, I’m assuming he was going light speed for 3 seconds, but it might be 3.2 or something. Multiplied by 3 and converted to miles, you only get 558,847.

EDIT: nvm ships go WAY faster than the speed of light in star wars pretty sure

https://www.tor.com/2014/12/08/star-wars-how-fast-is-the-millennium-falcon/#:~:text=The Millennium Falcon’s top speed,So there we have it.

With this guys research and anaylsis, which I’m inclined to believe because for the star wars lore/movies to make sense with the distances and speeds seen then going hyper speed would be extremely faster than just normal light speed, so even 3 seconds is by no means a ‘quick/close jump.’ Did some calculations with the times this guy theorized and the falcon likely would’ve gone a couple trillion miles in just a few seconds

Well, I would say it’s Star Wars, not Star Trek, doesn’t need to be realistic as long as it keeps inner consistency within the Universe it takes place.

Honestly, it doesn’t even do that. In ANH, it explicitly only takes them a few minutes to get from Alderaan to Tatooine, which is a pretty lengthy trip based on in-universe maps. Other films clearly have longer travel times. Hyperspace travel has always, since the very beginning, moved at the speed of plot.

Where does it explicitly say that?

Is it possible to properly remove the “all” from both the lines of dialogue in that final exchange between Palpatine and Rey to make the dialogue less clunky, without suddenly skipping a couple of frames or anything?

If that could be done seamlessly, that would be fantastic.

Ummmm … what?

watches clip

Still very confused with that assessment/statement.

The whole thing was bad … just bad … I am glad it was removed. The concept of it was just … bad.

A Sith-supporter guy, used by Sidious, went to the wreckage of the Death Start “X” years ago, decided to make a dagger in the shape of the wreckage … and then have a little pointer that extends out and “points” to the exact spot of the wayfinder.

Remember, this is HIS dagger that HE created … for “reasons” to lead to a location he has knowledge of, that then points to a wayfinder, (which he obviously knows where it is “stored”) … so it could help navigate you to Exegol, which he came from. Must have made it in case he developed dementia and forgot how to get home?

SO yeah … the whole thing is just BAD and this helps make it LESS bad.

Granted, if there was a way to change the “translation” scene, even by using a new voice over to change the dialogue to make it more vague about the dagger’s origin and how to find the wayfinder, it would be better and still can say “The dagger will lead the way” or whatever the line is. Obviously the issue is how to make it so the crew knows to go to the DSII wreckage …

That would be great to get a hand on those. Rogue one is still my favorite of the “new” Star Wars movies and I just want to keep perfecting it piece by piece. Lol.

Hal 9000 said:

That is extremely cool, and your version of the entire opening works well!
For TROS:A I’d love to add just the modified RO castle shot and add the castle over Kylo’s shoulder. I wonder if the RO shot could even lose the red glow, as though it’s just dead and static inside even?

Agree with your assessment.

We shall look forward in two weeks Jonh. Very exciting and can’t wait for the haircut!

Here is what to do. Do a photo merge of Hayden and Shaw, use that photo for fakeapp. Apply to Anakin ghost. Boom. The creeptastic edition. What could possibly go wrong! 😉

Literally just watched the V7 with the updated deleted scenes upscaling. Fantastic work! Such a huge improvement.

It looks perfect, great job Poppa! Wow!

Hal 9000 said:

Well sheeeeeit. You’re right that it’s too late, so that’ll have to be. There’ll always be things like that to find. All the same, good to point it out.

Well … erm … the obvious response to that is “The dark side of the force is a pathway …”

EddieDean said:

Has anyone considered the flipside for RotS/Rogue One? Adding a little burned forest to the landscapes?

I felt like that was played with a long time ago but one of the big issues was color matching the shot … I mean, if someone could match the coloring perfect, that could work.

But the issue I can possibly see is is it a bit to “edity” to take a shot from another SW movie and reinsert it? Not sure how I stand on that topic, but it is something to consider maybe?

Ok, here’s an updated pass at the Coruscant addition! It’s the same link as before:

https://vimeo.com/494722697
pw: fanedit

For the first shot, I enlarged and moved the planet more prominently into the frame, and I was able to extend the shot by a full 24 frames to give it more time to register (Hal you will need to extend the audio like you said).

For the last shot, I made a few refinements. First, I made the rings on the left less circular and more oval. Then, I was actually able to get a good track using Mocha, which made the window frames considerably more stable, and all of the roto should be greatly improved. It might not be quite perfect, but I scrutinized those edges as best I could and this may be about as good as I can get it!

My goodness that looks good.

It definitely looks a bit better but I feel like the effect was already pretty damn good in Rogue One.

Arent we all on the quest for the perfect edits? even if its just a “little bit” better? hehe

Exactly.

Poppa does it again! Just a little polish and it’s perfect. Such a “simple” thing to do that adds so much.

I wonder if he would be able to send “you/us” those video clips in the proper fps to avoid that hassle. When I watch the two in comparison, I think the deep fake is “better” … mainly the eyes stand out the most to me being more real.

V7 is available now … need to get that!

Lol I think people are making misconceptions of what a Mary Sue and Gary Sue are and trying to broaden it’s meaning by tying it with Power/Ability, knowledge/knowhow, etc.

Lol … just like Scene 38 reimagined. Thanks for the relink to see it at least.

Watched the edit last night, the deleted scenes quality was an improvement. I can only imagine with upgrades to that technology it will add a bit more improvement visually. But for now, it is an improvement!
