I’m actually surprised how well that worked! I love that people are starting to piece things together for their edits. I feel like you’d still want to cut Merry’s/Charlie’s line about cloning. It already felt like it came out of left field and now that Palpatine isn’t even mentioned it’s just random.

I left it because it makes it seem like they believe the Sith fleet could be manned or assembled by clones.

Here’s what I’ve done so far for the edit TROS: Resurgence

Changelist:

1. New opening crawl (written, but still needs to be done) to make the Knights of Ren feel more dangerous, remove mention of Palpatine, and set up the destruction of Corellia.
2. First scene after the Tie fighters is now reforging Ren’s mask but with clear shots of the monkey elf’s face removed (scenes involving Palpatine are moved to later).
3. Second scene is now Ren and his Knights walking down the hallway; cut the stormtrooper banter “the Knights of Ren…”
4. Third scene is now Ren’s meeting with the First Order leaders. Kept the force choke but cut the ceiling levitation of the guy asking questions. Cut Ren’s reference to hunting the scavenger, instead he ends his speech with “Prepare to crush any worlds that defy us.”
5. This sequences directly into the fourth scene which is now the Star Destroyer arriving at Kijimi and lowering its super cannon. But now this has been changed to be the planet, Corellia. Added brief footage of the Planet Corellia from the film, Solo.
6. Cut to Rey levitating stones while meditating. Cut her groaning and saying “they’re not with me.”
7. Trimmed Leia just standing there watching Rey, so her clunky insertion looks less awkward.
8. Cut Rey’s line about talking to the Jedi that came before.
9. While Rey runs the training course, Corelia is destroyed.
10. Poe, Rey, and Chewy’s scene where they play the game on the Falcon is moved to just after Rey returns the lightsaber and says “Yes, Master” to Leia.
11. Cut Poe turning off the game.
12. Cut Klaud (the weird alien tree monster) from the Falcon and from existence.
13. Trimmed much of Boolio so we see and hear just a little from him.
14. Cut Finn being sassy as he’s bumped around in the Falcon’s gunner seat.
15. Cut Finn’s sassy-pants agreement about “bouldering” the Tie fighters.
16. Cut Finn’s badly delivered line, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Now Poe just simply states he’s lightspeed skipping.
17. Since Klaud doesn’t exist anymore he doesn’t scream during the final lightspeed skip.
18. Cut Poe’s line about the final lightspeed skip. Now he just says “hold on.”
19. Moved Rey reading Luke’s notes on the jungle moon of Ajan Kloss and Falcon arriving there to just after the last lightspeed skip.
20. Trimmed Rey greeting Finn in order to remove his sassy-pants line “always” referring to Poe being in a bad mood.
21. Trimmed Finn’s eye rolling as Rey and Poe bicker.
22. Cut Finn’s useless line “It’s true.”
23. Trimmed and completely rearranged the Resistance briefing scene to remove Poe and others’ references to Palpatine. Exegol is still described by C3PO as a Sith world and this is what scares/surprises everyone. Moved the line “secrets only the Sith knew” to be spoken as Rey is picking up her book. Baby Ackbar is cut completely!
24. Cut Rey’s line to Leia “find the Emperor.”
25. Cut Leia’s V.O. line to Rey as she’s hugging her goodbye.
26. The Falcon’s flight from the jungle moon to Pasaana is now one continuous sequence.

Edit has begun see change list above in the main description.

Here’s my opening, showing my new crawl and my version of an idea that’s been tossed around here a bit (using the TLJ deleted star destroyer bridge shots):

Nicely done!

idir_hh I watched your footage and was thinking the behind the scenes with Luke and Leia fighting could be used if you cover the moving camera with a training remote tracking them.

Ben looks like the studio put him there, not a fan, even if he does look a touch weird. If you’d presented this to me in the context of the movie I wouldn’t have questioned it.

I’m not sure how to take the wording of this comment? Are you saying that it looks really good or looks like the studio put it there?

Rian didn’t have the puppet anymore from ESB so they had to make a new one after the original model except either it was a little different or the camera angle was not ideal because our little green friend got visibly chunkier.

Too many hamburgers in Jedi Heaven??? A comparison of OT Yoda vs ST Yoda.

Maybe we could try being constructive instead of calling Kylo a “fat cartoon” over and over.

For example, instead of saying “fat” you could say his face is a little too big for his head. I think the “weird, unnatural face” isn’t that weird, I’d actually say the problem is the face and the head nod combo that looks off - I think if you went with one or the other it might work better.

Glad to see someone is agreeing something about this looks off. And sorry if my wording didn’t seem constructive. I realize how much effort this took, and technically it’s quite good.

Also, maybe if someone had told Rian Johnson that Yoda looked pretty fucking fat (in a nice way), then he would have made him look less fat before releasing TJL. Or maybe Jedi heaven has lots of hamburgers idk. In any case I applaud the effort put forth so far on this. In addition I would make Kylo taller than Luke which might also help a bit.

…I think it’s better to just remove the Rey Palpatine twist completely.

Yep very true. Also TFA and TLJ were better than TROS-- so retconning them to fit TROS instead of just fixing TROS is silly. Unless it excites you so much that Sheev fucks that you can’t bear to lose Rey Palpatine and Kylo’s terrible line “you’re a Palpatine.” How many alternate lines to you think Adam Driver recorded?

You’re a…

“Sith goddess”
“Kenobi-- complete with a British accent”
“Skywalker-- because Luke fucks”
“Product of Luke and Leia’s one night stand before they knew they were related”
“Lamp named Mary Sue”

As… weird as Luke and Leia seem to me there, Ben seems to blend in.

Leia looks a bit weird/bad-- let’s admit that too. So if someone has the talent and capability to fix this whole scene without adding more to the weirdness, e.g., “fat cartoonish Kylo” and even replacing Leia, all the better. But just because Leia looks weird/bad and Luke looks mediocre, it doesn’t mean it’s ok for Kylo to look weird too. Unless that’s what you’re going for in a joke edit.

Heya! I’m the guy that made that~
Thanks for posting, I tried throwing it up on Reddit but it just got shit on so I deleted it ahah. Glad people here are enjoying it somewhat!

It took talent to get something to look this good, technically. While everyone seems very excited about this, someone has to come in with an alternate opinion to push for something better. The bottom line is with the footage used, Kylo looks fat, extra goofy, and is making a weird, kind of unnatural face. While Anakin looks somewhat wooden, Kylo looks like a cartoon. I know you wanted Kylo smiling, but if this is the best result possible with smiling, then maybe consider not smiling an option. For me, Anakin is not necessary at all.

Don’t let the reddit trolls get you down.

If you could make the dagger have a blinking eye and say “find me” in the Emperor’s voice, then I’d like it.

When I recently used FCPX it had an audio export glitch for some reason where it added faint but shitty pops and clicks even to unedited material. Hope others don’t have that same experience. Seems some models of macbook and the OS version can cause conflicts with FCPX.

I wish I had done a test export before I had gotten in too deep. Now it’s Adobe Premiere all the way but it can have its own issues as well especially with 5.1 channel fidelity under certain circumstances. Sorry FCP7 is not working out anymore.

Version 1 is released. See above for details and change list.

Ewoks die… Palpatine laughs.
Kylo dies… Palpatine laughs.
The Final Order fleet crashes and burns… Palpatine laughs.

I still don’t have a problem with the scene in the first place. Nothing wrong with showing him finding it real quick; the movies don’t usually rely on the crawl too much anyway.

There is a problem with this scene because it’s the first episode of SW to open with a montage. It feels waaaay off. The opening scenes always use space and spaceships to lead us to a real scene. So the scene itself is usable (cool yet awkward as it is) but not so much for an opening.

No. It would be a pretty cool set up for a continued story where the Dark Phoenix has taken control of the earth and enslaved its population to punish Charles for pretending to love humanity so much while at the same time ruining Jean’s life.

Don’t worry the X-School isn’t that close to Manhattan and they could have survived. 😃

It’s not deleted scenes but it’s something:

Here is a clip of a new ending for Dark Phoenix: Reborn where Jean declares war on humanity after being betrayed by her father and Charles.

https://youtu.be/gWwyqQxLdbM

This edit has new music scoring, sound fx, and scenes to give a proper tragic ending.

Thanks for going through all the hoops to get it rendered. I’m looking forward to the update. 10 solid days of just rendering is a bit much.

I’d support that idea and use it if it can be done.

I think that as Kylo is yelling that he’ll find the scavenger, the poor fella is visible squirming up on the ceiling. Also I think it’s a bit dumb how he calls her the scavenger, parroting Snoke like a tool.

Don’t worry, I’ll do that for you.

In the original, Jean put her father to sleep after weakly saying “It’s not me” to him when the walls of the house shook. Now she becomes the Dark Phoenix and kills her father, who abandoned her.
