Yes.

My boys Jonh and Poppa are certainly worthy of this honour. A collaboration between them and snooker would be mind-blowingly good!

me, dir_hh and poppasketti, we are working on the opening of coruscant. I think it’s going to be great … when we’re done with this, and luke’s hair, I’ll be happy to help with the final shot of coruscant!

I don’t know if it has been discussed … but suddenly an idea occurred to me …
and if king, instead of palpatine’s granddaughter, is a being created by palpatine with the dark side (like the legend of darth plegueis).

the way to fix it, would be a voice impersonator of kylo ren, eliminating the granddaughter’s, and adding new lines.

even if we had a palpatine impersonator too hahaha, we could add lines at the end of the movie, in exegol, like these:

First I created Anakin skywalker, but his body burned, then I tried with his son, but his father killed me.

And then, I created you … to possess your body, and be eternal

I know, it’s crazy hahaha

I should have written it down because now I can’t remember!! Who’s DarthYcey on vimeo? I wanted to ask if you’d be able to export a ProRes version of your sequencing of part 2 of the ghost-relevant scene.

It’s the sort of thing I normally wouldn’t mind just recreating from eyeballing it, but any timesaves are immensely helpful.

Actually, I sent jonh my newly-timed version a few days ago. I believe he’s working on exporting a high-quality version with that sequencing of shots. I didn’t have hi-res footage myself when I threw that together, which was really just a (successful) test of whether shots could be trimmed and/or rearranged to maintain the existing music.

Fuckin’ A.

That clip has the line “Let your death be the final word in the story of rebellion.” If whatever music I overlay allows the line to be kept, I think it would be appropriate to have the first line of the crawl use the word ‘rebellion.’

In the theater during that sentence, I expected him to say “in the story of Skywalker.”

personally, would eliminate the line of rebellion, Burning’s music fits better, and looks more scary in Palpatine

jonh, I want you to send me some audio. You need to be included in this. It can just be a simple “Ship or crew or person name standing by”. If it weren’t already a ship name with crew to recognize I’d say “the Ghost” would have been perfect.

Poppasketti, FWIW (and I’m afraid the finer details may elude me), I like Option A’s trajectory and lightspeed jump but E’s little boost of the engines partway through. But I’m happy with whatever consensus emerges about the shot. Both are incredible.

Thanks to all with the audio submissions and getting appropriate effects onto them. We’re taking a liberty to expand them to the left and right channels rather than just the center. I like axlanian’s, as he kept my line placements more or less. Personally I don’t want to open with a prominent “9000 crew standing by”, not only because it’s my voice but because it’s a little too meta. So the line is there but it’s a bit buried. Could also be confusing, as though the whole informal fleet is being referred to as the ‘9000 Crew.’

So, the “For Skywalker” line had to be pruned, so further submissions should be check-in’s or other chatter.

And since it came up in Dom’s thread, in my head the primary version of this project will retain Rey Palpatine. This will be the conservative style that has served me well. But, I plan to release a Rey Nobody edit, perhaps at a later time, once that idea is completed by whomever, with an eye toward Dom’s project.

hahah I’ll be happy to send it to you … one thing, what exactly do I say? tell me and I record it!

While we’re discussing the Force Ghosts scene, I want to ask since this soundtrack addition absolutely makes me feel like a hyped little kid; Hal, what do you think of the following from the redux ideas thread?

jonh said:

a quick test
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1p-M_FZG9Srkvcze0R7u8GOmjr6CyRJU4

The music feels very “epic trailer” to me, and feels out of place within the movie itself. It gave me chills too! But it felt like a trailer video.

Plan A to try at some point is what was originally scored for Rey catching the saber in TFA.

Although I like music, I must say that I agree with you … it seems more trailer music

Would have been sick to have Palpatine hiding in the sith shrine deep below the temple instead of Exogol, right under the noses of the New Republic and The First Order. Imagine the surprise of the destroyers emerging from deep below the surface of the industrial regions of the capital. A true power play.

Judging from this concept art this may have been the case in an early draft.

My only problem with using Jedi temple shots TOO unchanged is that it’s important to remember that the Jedi Temple was remodeled into the Imperial Palace, so it’s probably looking at least a WEE bit more sinister these days, at least on the inside.

sorry! that where it appears? I’m not following the expanded universe or legends😅

In Lucasfilm Canon, it’s mostly appeared in a bunch of (very good) comics and novels. Here’s a picture:
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/DQqz0

The exterior structure is mostly the same, save for some lovely banners. The interior appears have had at least some degree of structural change, however, at least based on what we see of the throne room and the Emperor’s vault.

Here’s the throne room, as illustrated in the comic adaption of the first of the new Thrawn books- looks pretty similar to his throne room on the Death Star:
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/3/36/Emperors_throne_room_Imperial_Palace.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180220134421

However, looking over the various related comics, it looks as though most of the actual interior structures have remained intact, they’ve just been stripped of their Jedi symbolism and statues and the like, and instead replaced with imperial symbolism and statuaries and all that.

This isn’t directly relevant (I just like talking about lore), but it’s kind of implied that Palaptine chose to turn the temple into the Imperial Palace because the Jedi temple was, eons ago, built atop a Sith shrine. During an ancient war with the Sith, the Sith built a shrine in that location and, through heinous bloodshed and general Sith-ery, created a nexus of Dark Side power. The Jedi Temple was built on that location to cap and contain that dark power, in order to prevent it from directly corrupting the rest of Coruscant.

I’m sure that, at the very least, most of the Imperial symbols and relics would have been stripped away by 35 ABY, which is roughly when the ST takes place.

uhhh interesting! I did not know, I did not know it! I’m just a mega fan of movies hahaha, I’ll have to start with the EU 😃

Jonh, you just let us know when you have it where you are once again happy with how it all looks. It’s a gem, so polish it to your heart’s content. 😃

If I’m very lucky I can totally finish up with everything ROTJ for the time being and then have sporadic time to implement the things that have stockpiled for TROS.

Ok hal !!
Part 1 is OK OK …
I will make a small improvement in part 2, I will upload it soon 😃

GREAT ! remember I recently uploaded a version with a little improvement

jonh what was the change you made? Maybe I can just isolate that part on an update.

I made a little change of almost all the shots … so better if you replace them all! I made changes to Anakin’s hair, and changed the noise from other shots 😃

barely noticeable! but I am more satisfied with this version hhahah
