The worst one is probably the hardest one to change (“a thousand generations live in you now”).

Yeah, he looks like the big Lebowski in that shot. It might be good to cut that line anyway, since it contradicts the Jedi ghosts showing up in the final battle.

hahahah lebowski! yes, it is almost impossible to fix the hair in that shot also, maybe remove the line …

Jonh, I was going to ask you, but are the only shots where Luke wears are wig the parts where he says “I was wrong…” “What are you most afraid of…” and “Because you’re a Palpatine” Is that correct?

f_ck! there is a lot of talent here !!! It is wonderful to see how we come together to make this stinky movie something more beautiful …
the truth is that at first I was hesitant to make edits about the work of someone like JJ abrams, who in my opinion is a great director (I loved the force awakens hahah, even star trek, without being a fan), and he wasn’t sure about doing VFX on his work out of respect, but F_ck, the last two star wars movies have been a mistake, and we’re doing a wonderful job! we deserve a better version of these movies hahahah, because we are fans from a very young age, and OT is our bible !!!
What I mean is that you are all wonderful, and you have very good ideas! we can rule the galaxy hahahahha, congratulations to all, you are all great

EDIT:
It would be wonderful to see you all face to face one day, but I would not understand anything! I don’t speak english hahahah, without the google traductor hahhaha

it would be great if someone does a good audio mix

Amazing work with the Jedi Force ghosts, man…but I really don’t think the audio needed re-mixed, the scene just failed to follow through on the VOs that got Rey to her feet in the first place. The goosebumps really hit now with the music and Force ghosts showing up. This is exactly what I was expecting in theaters but was totally let down. But great job man. Oh, and I re-edited this sequence using your purple saber footage (which I also love). 😃 Rey really IS all the Jedi now… Check it out…

ouhhh sure, you have eliminated other shots !! nice job 😃

and you have changed the order of the shots, I like it! Looks wonderfully

I like that everyone is satisfied with this sequence, which is fan service hahahha … they helped me a lot to make it better!

I don’t know. I’m a bigger Anakin fan than many, but I think this would’ve been absurd. Why spend two and a half movies building up two compelling new Force-using characters, Rey and Ben, and developing their dynamic together, only to sideline them in favour of the same dude who killed Palpatine last time? I would’ve liked Anakin to have had a slightly greater presence in the movie (rather than getting the same size role as Luminara Unduli), but I think anything more than
the support role he gets alongside the other ghosts in jonh’s edit would have robbed Rey and Ben of their moment. Besides, to a certain extent, the ST is about the two parts of his legacy: Kylo idolises Vader; Rey is trained by Anakin’s children.

I agree, but I don’t think Idir was being serious!

luke learning how to interfere

Fascinating. What if we had a scene like this during the “be with me” scene showing the relevant ghosts legs crossed as they speak, so when Obi speaks we cut to him on the circle, when Anakin speaks we cut to him on the circle etc etc.

talking is impossible without reusing material, and would not be convincing.

this scene that i propose, would be located maybe 10 minutes before the force ghost … luke learning and calling the other jedi

In addition, showing them in the battle against Palpatine has more impact.

HOLY SHIT! 😱

scarn

Can you do some for the other characters?

I was thinking, not to include the others, so that the end is a surprise, but that this scene ends with lights appearing in front of luke, and maybe, some voice

jonh I have been completely remixing the audio of this scene. When editors see the audio mix is in stereo they’ll realize they HAVE to remix if they want 5.1. Will use your choice of “The Return Home” string music from A New Hope. Will get some better FX for thunder then from zapsplat.com. Cutting Palpatine’s line about a scavenger girl and cutting Rey’s line “I’m all the Jedi.” Will probably keep Palpatine’s line “Let your death be the final word in the story of Rebellion.” Cutting Palpatine’s dramatic pause before using lightning on Rey (he did the same exact pause when he used lightning on the fleet).

send me your mix when you can, I want to see and hear it !!! 😃

video included, with cuts

More options for the final shot!

Falcon Shot - Option A
Falcon Shot - Option B
Falcon Shot - Option C
Falcon Shot - Option D
pw: fanedit

Option A = original comp with the newer model, now with an adjusted path to smooth it, and sped up the light speed jump.

Option B = snooker’s 2nd pass, now more integrated by adding motion blur, heat distortion, and making the engine glow more blue.

Option C = a recreation of snooker’s original pass, which had the Falcon slowing and making a wider turn to jump. It’s not exactly the same, I made a few small adjustments.

Option D = craziness.

wow !!! you’re the f_cking gandalf!
Personally, I like the B better, I don’t know, the model looks more similar to the hawk, the one in version A, it is very fine.

I think that in all versions, the presence of the farm fails, because it makes the falcon seem small …

what do you think, or eliminate the farm, or insert a more distant one …

poppasketti … GOD

jonh, I’ve been working on incorporating your material into my edit and I just have to say great choices on the music change when Rey gets the saber and the ghosts appear. It works so well what you did. And the little trim you made when Palpatine is on the throne and puts his hands down. Great overall restructuring of the footage, even without the addition of the ghosts!!!

EDIT: Where did you get your thunder sound effect?

They are crappy sound effects from YouTube, the audio mix is ​​not very good for me, if you want to mix …😉

So I watched TROS again a couple of days ago and took some notes as to potential edits:

  • Since Kylo is oddly communing with Vader’s mask after Palps tells him he’s been ‘every voice in his head’, it might work to place this scene right after the opening crawl. The mask could be Vader telling him exactly where to find the wayfinder on Mustafar. Cut to him slaughtering the Cultists.

I tried something like that here: https://vimeo.com/417019357

I’m thinking of using the pan to Coruscant - 1313 footage - DOTF concept art and the bridge shot of Kylo Ren as Palpatine’s message plays across the galaxy, then cutting to him meditating on the helmet - setting up his search for Exogol.

wow, me encanta la idea!
