Would love to check this one out, can I get a link, please?

Edit: woah! Didn’t realise you had already sent this to me.

Thanks dude, I’ll be sure to check it out in the next few days.

I hated the aliens in the original and I’m excited about this edit. Can I get a link, please?

Really excited to finally check this out!

Can I please get a link?

Can I get a link to this as well, please? I’ve been looking for this kind of edit for a while now.

Is this the final workprint? “Rey Nobody” version has any progress? i’m waiting for that version.

All the work put on this edit is incredible and i appreciate all the effort, but i really can’t enjoy the movie with that twist, that “twist” cheapens the whole trilogy for me and makes the whole Rian vs JJ tug war situation more glaring.

I can’t understand why so many of you have a problem with Rey being a Palpatine. For me, it’s the only possible explanation why she is so powerful. I like the character of Rey, but in Part 7 & 8 it always bothered me, that she was too strong and powerful. But when it became known that she’s a Palpatine, everything made sense to me.

Except it doesn’t explain why she has the knowledge of how to concentrate to use the Force and also how to use specific Force abilities despite never being taught how to use them before. I know, I don’t want to set up an irrelevant flame war, but I’m just pointing something out.

This is what people meant by her being powerful and also untrained.

Honestly, I always figured it’s because her and Kylo are a dyad of the Force, meaning she’ll know how to do wwhatever Kylo knows how to do and vice versa. Therefore, even though they’re two seperate individuals, in the force they are one… as Palpatine put it.

This sounds really exciting. Can I get a link too?

Very nice job on those. Removing the space horses seems like a good idea, especially since they are only in a couple of shots after which they are never seen again. It’s like they all just fell off the side of the Destroyer at some point and nobody cared. Shifting the Rey and Finn conversation is tempting for me, but if it requires FX and grading, I’ll probably leave it as is. I would love to get rid of the Chewie-splosion, but I am playing up Rey’s temptation by the dark side and this is really the only time we see her use dark side powers. Granted, she fights Kylo in anger, but that’s not overt. I’ll keep Rey stabbing Kylo for similar reasons. The other edits I’ve already done.

I’m more than happy to provide a pro-res version of this scene so you can use it yourself?

I posted the below in Hal’s thread and was also made aware of this one, figured I’d post it here too.

In the early days of lockdown I did a very rough edit merging TLJ and TROS together, which later turned into two separate movies and creating links between them, but I never finished it.

Here’s some of my ideas from the TROS end of it, perhaps something works for one of your edits?:

• Cut the guys seeing Rey leave Exegol. It makes her reunion with Finn much more emotional:

pass: fanedit

• Got rid of the space horses, it was always ridiculous to me. Video below is not how it’s edited as it’s missing a massive chunk. Just wanted to quickly show how Finn not saying “I have something for that” works and then showing how the landing bit works:

https://vimeo.com/423995968
pass: fanedit

• Shifted Rey and Finn’s conversation about her on the Sith throne in Ochi’s ship to after they rescue Chewie and are talking in the Falcon. Where Finn says she doesn’t sound like herself, it just fits better here for me (had to do some minor FX + grading to make the shot fit):

https://vimeo.com/423995946
pass: fanedit

• Experimented with Rey not stabbing Kylo, but we do see her give her life force to snake thing earlier to establish the force power. Imo, this gives Rey’s death more impact and makes Ben’s life force sacrifice more meaningful:

pass: fanedit

• Cut Chewie’s “death” and Rey’s extreme burst of lightning power that blows up the transport ship and all mentions of his death. Although I’m not sure if this works all that well because of the way the guys react when they found out he’s still alive:

pass: fanedit

• C3PO never gets his memories back, nor is there any mention of R2 being able to restore it. It makes his emotional goodbye actually mean something! I truly hated the “no consequences” element of the movie.

• Removed Finn trying to tell Rey something…but he never actually does, so it just feels odd.

• Removed Rey’s and Kylo’s kiss because it just looks awkward as hell…

Ah yeah, whoops! My bad. I’ll change that 😉

I’ve been lurking here for weeks now and I’ve gotta say that what you guys are doing here is incredible!

On to my possible contribution. In the early days of lockdown I did a very rough edit merging TLJ and TROS together. I’ll probably never going to release it as I mainly did it to pass the time.
