I’m curious, Jonh. What were some other things that you really wanted to see in this movie? Are there other ideas for edits that you would like to pursue, or see other people pursue?

I would have loved to see the ghost of luke appear with kylo ren, as luke says in the last jedi … I would have liked to see coruscant, and the jedi temple, even Rey in the jedi temple … but that’s impossible hahaha …
I also wish there were no flashbacks, just like in the OT … and the movie would start, with kylo ren coming to exegol, eliminating mustafar, and those quick scenes.

more star wars transitions …

and something that I would have loved, it would have been another clone of Snoke in exegol, before Palpatine’s appearance, talking, and suddenly he saw himself using Snoke as a puppet, talking at the same time…

and as much pain as it gives me, he would have killed chewbaca and lando at the end of the film, sacrificing himself for resistance. It would have been a great dramatic moment. the millenium exploding on the general ship
(holdo style in the last jedi)
the legends are dead

In the end, instead of tatoinne, or before tatooine, I would have liked to see how resistance is celebrating victory, for example on Coruscant, in which someone announces the end of the war, and uncovers some large statues of the fallen heroes of the OT, for example, at the place of the palpatine statue in ROTJ remastered

but almost all of these things are impossible to do I think 😅

again, sorry for my english, I use the translator

Sure, but that’s just because Lucas lazily pasted Christensen’s head on to footage of Shaw’s body from 20 years before Attack of the Clones came out. Throughout most of TCW, which has the most favourable portrayal of Anakin, he wears an outfit very similar his AOTC/ROTS outfit.

🤣🤣🤣

His black robes symbolysed his dance with the darkside, I think it only makes sense for him to have the lighter Jedi robes here since he is now one with the light.

He had been wearing the black robes since episode 2, and remember that luke was wearing a black suit in ROTJ…

I’m in doubt jajajja🤔

Jonh, that clip with the lifting hands is basically perfect!
I have no idea how you managed to get it to look so good!
My only nitpicks would be that in about two shots, Luke and Anakin’s hands look just a little too large.
Also, have you tried to get Anakin in his ROTJ robes yet? It could be interesting to experiment with. 🤔

okey!!!
I’ll fix the hands!😉

Regarding the robes, I find it strange to put it because in the prequels, anakin does not have that robes … I do not know, it seems strange to me, so rare with ROTJ

Many apologies, I struggle to identify tone.

That looks really great jonh! Excellent job so far. I’m curious, how did you create the shots where they all raise their hands to help Rey?

For obi wan, anakin and luke, I have photographed my hand, and for yoda, I did a montage with the ROTS yoda arm …

I think I’m going insane… The video attached to that link says it was uploaded a week ago, and there’s no shots of them lifting hands…

Red or green?! So I shrunk the bodies some more and added a little murkiness to the water to help cover. I also made each face slightly different.

Palpatine Clones - Red
Palpatine Clones - Green

🤔 Now that’s an idea!

Wonderful!
you are an idol!!!

poppasketti said:

Ok, here’s a version without the lightning scars and scaled down a bit! Still need to tweak the track a little.

Palpatine Clones - Clear

that is incredible!

Again, this is looking so freakin amazing!
SO good, in fact, might I suggest the camera shake you’ve added to the shots of the Jedi ghosts being slightly reduced?
The only reason I’m suggesting reducing the effect is so that we (the audience) can see them a bit better. Specifically, the shot that pans from Yoda to Obi.

Perfect!!!
I’ll fix it

krausfadr said:

Jonh if possible you should do a final release without any color correction to the lightsaber. Then anyone including yourself can correct it from that final version in their edits. (No purple for me personally)

of course!!! I will make two versions, and that people choose

Chase Adams said:

I’ve been thinking that it might be easier to create a Coruscant shot to replace the Ewok shot in the ending montage by possibly using the removed Star Destroyer matte to add to an already existing Coruscant shot from the prequels.
Here’s a very rough mockup that I did in like two minutes:

By doing this, we can avoid having to go to the trouble of rendering new models that might not fit with the original film’s aesthetic.
If we don’t want to go in this route though, I am more than confident in snooker’s abilities to create something awesome!

In saying that however, snooker, hate to be a nuisance since I’m sure you have better things to do, but I’ve had trouble motion tracking these two elements together (the crashing destroyer and the AOTC city) so might you be able to see if we can make this shot work by trying it out? 🙏 ☺️

If you don’t think that this shot from AOTC works much, I’m sure there could be another shot from the prequels we could use!
looks great!!!

looks great!!!

Hello! I have edited on the clip of Skenera with force ghosts… I have illuminated a little Rey with purpure, the light of the ligthsaber.

opinion?

krausfadr said:

jonh ok well we need you to be able to finish this so everyone should help to keep the scope of your scenes manageable. Then we can have a finished product soon. The force ghosts can just fade out as soon as Palpatine’s dead. The quarantine won’t last forever.

And nice work on the film for the telephone of the dead. I like how they put the guy saying “don’t fuck with me” into the trailer. Cool!

Quiet!! I hope to finish the edition this week!😃

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised to learn you’re a big-shot pro! Thanks for sharing that. We’re glad to have you around.

Do not do that! I get excited !! hahaha

idir_hh said:

We have a potential hollywood director on the thread!
That looks fabulous.

Hahahaha hopefully!

hahahaha, thank you very much !! I discovered this forum about two years ago … and since then I have wanted to help do some fan editing … but my work did not allow me … I am director of short films and video editor in a local tv … but now with the quarantine I have had 2 months of break…

this is a trailer for one of my short films…

jonh, you’re doing an amazing job!

Now, for someone who hasn’t chimed in until now:
You might want to look at altering Luke walking. He wavers left and right quite a bit…so much so that he distracts me every time I watch the clip. I don’t have time to notice the other Jedi in that shot. Granted, they each get a closeup, but maybe keep him from moving too much??

Maybe it’s just me. What do you guys think?

Perfect!! I’m going to fix it… 😃

Jonh, you rock! I am really, really liking the direction you are going. For your “force sheild” I would try to simply add a slight glow to Rey instead of a shield like thing. Keep if fairly subtle, since the next shots of Yoda and Obi-Wan really sell the idea of them assisting.

Heck, the next scene when she redirects the lighting can show either or both Anakin and Luke doing the same gesture as Yoda and Obi-Wan could be really cool.

Using that with the combination of Purple Leia Lightsaber and the force ghosts is just too good to be true. Please continue your great work.

Next, Anakin/luke ,that’s exactly the idea, but I haven’t done it yet

Now that I think about it, hahaha, it doesn’t make much sense to show a shield of force, because Palpatine’s rays pierce the shield hahahaha …
Maybe it would be better not to put a shield? and that the ghosts just push Rey

Of course! I’ll just have to replace the clip 😃

subtlest shield.
