Jonh, seriously props to you for being so optimistic and generous with the feedback we’ve been giving you. I think this was something most people were hoping to see (I remember reading how many people online were hoping to see Anakin). I think if we can get a few solid versions of this, plus a few other major changes from some other editors around here, I think we can create a surprisingly different version of The Rise of Skywalker.

EDIT: If I had to nominate an extra Jedi to add, I wouldn’t say Leia since, like Hal said, her body is still on “Jungleworld” at this point. I would argue that you could put Qui-Gon on the far left, next to Anakin, though. I mean, he’s basically the reason all of them are even able to be force ghosts. Plus, we literally here Qui-Gon say “We stand behind you, Rey.”

Hell, if Rosario Dawson does end up showing up as Ahsoka in the Mandalorian, as rumors have been suggesting, I could see a future version of this with her standing there. That way you could have at least one female Jedi behind her.

Thank you vary much!
In this version I will not include a Qui-gon, but later, if you want it for your edition, I can include it 😃

first I will finish the version with anakin, luke, yoda and obi wan … and when I finish it, I will make other versions, for other fan edits 😃

I’m wondering if Leia should be there as well since she appears as a ghost at end of the film and arguably has a closer personal relationship with Rey than even Luke. I’m just not sure how you would balance the shot in that case.

Maybe put the focus on Luke and Leia and let the other ghosts be more of a background presence in the wide shot?

I like the idea of ​​including leia

Hello! I had no intention of including more ghosts, but later if you want, I could do a version with more ghosts … but for now, I prefer to only include ghost for the original trilogy … I know, hayden is not from the trilogy original hahaha

It’s obviously up to you if you choose to make more alternative versions. It would be a nice treat for sure, but I’m more than pleased with the current version, so it’s fine if you leave it that way 😄

thank you!!!😊😊😊
and I’m going to perfect the blue outline !!!

The ghosts look magnificent! If something like this played out at the climax I would have walked out very happy with the film in spite of its shortcomings. And honestly, the fact they’re all repurposed footage will fly over most people’s minds, even fans. It isn’t immersion-breaking, and in fact having the Jedi ghosts appear is what someone watching the film for the first time would reasonably expect after hearing their voices first (I did, at least).

Perhaps you could add a soft glowing blue outline to the Jedi for the close ups, yet keeping the actual ghosts subtle otherwise.

Also other suggestion for the “brighter edition” could be add more stills/silhouettes of some of the other Jedi force ghosts involved (Qui-Gon, Windu, etc.) in the far background for the wide shot. I agree with having only Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda and Luke in the forefront, but it could be a nice touch to acknowledge the secondary ones.

I wonder if it might help just a little to mirror Anakin since he’s gazing to the right whereas Rey (and therefore sort of the ghosts) are established as being right of Palpatine.

The shot of Anakin is pretty static, perhaps the face aging could be done with a still or two using key frames. If so, I wonder what it’d be like to blend him with a young Sebastian Shaw (because there’ll be more footage to work with) and then aging that.

lo intentare!..

i know… Do not try. Do it, or do not do it, but do not try, hahahah

I’m sold. That’s great! Unfortunate that Luke, Anakin, and Yoda’s footage is repurposed, but maybe I’m just too sensitive to that. Well, I know I am. Have you thought about aging Hayden a little?

Yes, Unfortunate footage is repurposed, I have not found anything better … 😓
I don’t know how to age a face in a video

For Yoda , it would be neat of you could use the shot from TLJ where he is looking down with his finger up, summoning the lightning. I think it would fit better in this context.

I’m going to do a test

If you can make something that reminds me of this, I’ll find you and I’ll bow before you.

my idea is to do something similar to this … that the force ghosts help Rey against palpatine, creating a force shield, but only with obi wan, anakin, luke and yoda

but I need the clip in very good quality, I downloaded mine from youtube …

!!! I’m speachless.
Could you do two versions, one that subtle like this and another that’s stronger, more apparent?

of course!!!in all the shots?
and one thing, could someone send me the clip in prores? of the blue ray?

This is phenomenal. THIS is what I was expecting from the final act of the movie.
Could I use this in my edit? Needless to say, I’d credit you…

of course!!! I expected it too jajaj

That’s some very nice work. However, I think the only way I would actually want to use it as if it is so subtle that it’s almost hard to notice on the first viewing.

Jonh,
This is some great stuff, I think if you made them seem more in the distance (maybe add some blur for distance) and only appear with the lightning strikes and then disappear in the shadows, it would sell the effect better

That looks very good! Though I’m not too keen on reusing the shots of the ghosts from the Endor celebration.

I’ll try to find other shots

hahaha, I have not got tracking yet … when I have it more advanced I will do it !!!

I did a meter test only on the flashes but they are not appreciated, it is rare, so I have reduced the size of the ghosts and lowered the opacity
