Idea: Knights of Ren Overhaul - Ideas for Fixing the KoR in TROS
Time

Anakin Starkiller said:

Giving the KoR lightsabers is a must in my book…

The idea of giving them dialog, while it might make them a tad less intimidating, would be brilliant way of giving them character. We could explicitly establish them as Luke’s former students that way.

If someone gave just one or more of them lightsabers during the final showdown with Ren that would be amazing.

Giving them the right dialogue would make them more intimidating. Them standing around with no dialogue AND doing no harm to anyone is the opposite of intimidating.

I’m gonna mock these up to see if they fit in the actual scenes, then I’ll put a link here.

That would be awesome!

EDIT: As far a Paplatine echoing “my servants…” to the KoR I’m not sure about this on Pasaana because I’m pushing out the Emperor full voice reveal as far as possible and this happens later with Ren. That should be the first voice reveal.

Here’s an update to the Tie Replacement on Exogol:

I spent a lot of time staring at lightning flicker at 800% scale, so I could just be going mad, but I think it’s pretty close! If anyone sees any issues, please let me know. I made the shuttle a little bit bigger, but also curious how the scale feels.

omg that really does look badass and so much cooler than the TIE.

Are we still determined to keep the “silenced all communication” thing from Trevorrow’s script? I feel like it doesn’t have much relevance here, and it’s contradicted by Lando’s message reaching the entire galaxy.

It fits because that’s why Lando has to fly out and rally the troops himself. No long range communications. I would also be fine with Hal removing it and adding something about Leia because it would also be a shame to remove her from the crawl.

EDIT: Here, I inserted a different middle part:

The galaxy is united. After the heroic sacrifice of Luke Skywalker, countless systems have taken a stand in the name of RESISTANCE.

General Leia Organa, sensing a sinister presence, dispatched many spies deep into the UNKNOWN REGIONS. But none were ever heard from again.

Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren is haunted by visions. Determined to destroy any threat to his rule, he seeks a powerful artifact hidden on the planet MUSTAFAR. . . .

I spruced Hal’s draft crawl up a tad, fought the commas, and made it more star-warsy:

The galaxy is united. After the heroic sacrifice of Luke Skywalker, countless systems have taken a stand in the name of RESISTANCE.

To suffocate this growing uprising, the tyrannical FIRST ORDER has silenced all communication between neighboring systems.

Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren is haunted by visions. Determined to destroy any threat to his rule, he seeks a powerful artifact hidden on the planet Mustafar. . . .

Here’s an idea, if you want to try it going forward; what if you used the final trailer’s epic rendition of the main theme, starting when Rey crosses the sabers and the ghosts lift their hands?

https://youtu.be/8Qn_spdM5Zg

It starts at about 1:26 in this video, with the “This Christmas” card.

This music never got used in the film, but I think it’s wonderfully triumphant…

Interesting idea— note the music in the trailer is heavily ducked. Perhaps there’s enough of the un-ducked parts to be useful or pristine tracks can be found somewhere else? However the music sounds more sentimental and a tad too melancholy so I’m not sure yet that it fits for this scene.

Good work! Are there any lightning sounds from elsewhere in the movie relatively free of music? Even if you leave what you’ve got more or less, mixing in a few ‘authentic’ lightning sounds might help sell it.

Also, when you do have it how you like it, would you mind maybe posting a version without added music, to let others experiment with that aspect alone?

Thanks and yes once done I can definitely post a version without the any music. I’ll also check to see if there’s Exegol lightning claps without music. Good idea.

jonh, been busy but here is the first half of the Exegol force ghost scene that I incorporated into TROS: Resurgence:

https://streamable.com/hpos45

changes from your version:
audio remixed using 5.1 channels
your selected music from ANH processed to improve stereo imaging
different, more subtle thunder fx
reinstated Palpatine’s line “let your death be the final word in the story of rebellion.”
removed Palpatine’s dramatic pause before zapping away
removed Rey making a bad acting face at the end of the scene
haven’t done it yet but might foley back in Rey’s panting

…in the theme of ideas:

Has anyone considered the viability of this?

Do away with ‘Mustafar’ (bear with me)…but keep the slaughter sequence?

Repurpose it.

Start the movie with Kylo dropping out of HS . Landing on EXAGOL!..

There’s your establishing sequence! Then repurpose the slaughter on Mustafar (via colour correction) to have Kylo killing the cultists in order to get to/into Palpatine’s lair? (Instead of it being to find the way finder)

Keep it all, but make two sequences across two planets, just one???

Brilliant idea! Some extreme color correction though.

EDIT: Gave it the old college try but too many things going against it pieced together this way… Ren is now very dirty when piloting the ship to Exegol for no apparent reason. Only his TIE flies to Exegol but there are stormtroopers suddenly with him fighting the cultists. The sun is out when fighting in the forest. Suddenly the forest is gone with no sun and he’s at Palpatine’s lair. Nothing matches up well.

I’ve sent earlier versions of my “Leia Intervenes” edit over on Hal’s thread, but there doesn’t seem to be much interest in the idea for his film, so I’m posting the “final” version I just finished here in case others may find it useful.

In short, I always felt Leia should have had a larger role in Ben’s turn from the dark side, not just say his name to distract him. This edit re-imagines her role in his redemption. I’ve restructured and re-scored some parts to make the changes mesh together well. Kudos to Cinefy for the inspiration on Ben’s ‘toss the saber’ music. This also includes parts of DominicCobb’s new Rey Vision. Hope you like it…

I like having Han be what distracts Ben during the fight. I would just make the first cut to him very brief. Then remove that same shot of Han later, the one before he starts talking to Ben (maybe start with the wide shot of the two on the ledge). However delaying Leia’s death actually lessons the dramatic impact because then her reference has to be removed from Han and Ben’s conversation.

The issue is the first sentence shows an overall state of growing rebellion. Then other statements in the crawl may undercut that first sentence at least superficially. It feels like instead of kindled it should say stifled. But of course that’s not the more optimistic direction Hal is going for.

EDIT: Also it feels like the communications being cut off and stuff about brave agents should be in the same paragraph.

Episode IX
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

Rebellion has been kindled. To suffocate a growing uprising, the tyrannical First Order has silenced communication between neighboring systems.

While Rey, sole heir to the Jedi, continues her training, General Leia Organa has dispatched her brave agents across the stars to unite the disparate worlds in the name of Resistance.

Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren has traveled to Mustafar, chasing whispers of a hidden power that would allow him to destroy any threat to his rule…

It keeps getting better and better. “… in the name of Resistance” may be slightly redundant with the first sentence. Wouldn’t necessarily start one paragraph with while and the next one with meanwhile. Overall the crawl is more well thought out than the one we got!
