Here’s my best attempt.

This was really solid work!
Can I get a link?
I just wish I had the skillset to do this myself.
But yes to what you said.
I’ll probably end up using this scene- likely heavily VFX filtered though- in the Scipio episode of my TCW series, as a kind of dream/flashback. I’ve always wanted to pair these scenes with the Scipio episodes because the Scipio story shows a lot of Anakin’s possessiveness towards Padmé, and with this scene in the viewer’s mind I think that it could be recontextualised as the only real on-screen raw reaction of Anakin’s loss of Ahsoka.
Has anyone seen this:

I wish these concepts were easier to make and someone would either redo Clone Wars like this, or heck, remake the prequels?
SSWR!!! You’re back. Just now seeing!
Whatever you’re working on, I’m ready for it.
Like the new kiss scene. Works a lot better for sure.
The first assignment works.
The “did you hear what they said?” seems off a bit. Maybe because they look like they are 200 feet away.
When I’ve tinkered with that scene, I just cut it a bit after Kenobi and Typho’s dialogue, and then you see the ship take off.
Anyway, keep it up. You’re very gifted.
If you need a workprint viewer, PLEASE reach out to me!!

Hello again peoples
Wanted to drop another video here and see about getting some feedback particularly with the dialogue. Again, I’m using my voice only temporarily, so, aside from not liking my vocal performance, does the dialogue itself work?Main things I’ve done with this clip:
Altered the music to change the atmosphere of the scene. I’m not completely sold on the soundtracks I’m using BUT it gives the “feeling” I want to convey. I don’t think any of the pieces I’m using are in the same key and I just don’t know enough about music to know if it’s really a problem or not.Created a shot of Padme not knowing how to respond to what Dorme says. Padmes “then my jedi protector will have to prove how good he is” isn’t particularly bad imo but I couldn’t find another way to cut around the little Obi/Anakin exchange without removing this line.
Cut Obi-Wans berating Anakin about doing anything without consulting him or the council. In this edit, Obi does teach Anakin…but less Master/Student and more like an older wiser guy showing a younger guy the ropes, if you will.
Anakin hears a noise and looks up thinking it could be trouble. I’d like feedback on this too. I’ve liked this idea for a long time but hadn’t implemented it until now. I’d like to know if you think it works…if it adds anything to the scene.
This is where it gets a bit iffy:
-“what are you thinking about?”
-“this is my first assignment on my own…thought you should know.”
Does this exchange work? or what if I cut Padmes line altogether? they walk along in silence for a few seconds then Anakin just blurts out his lines?-“did you hear what they said about us?”
-“yeah”
-both laugh
Did this exchange make sense? Did you find yourself following along?
I could revert his dialogue back to “don’t worry, we have R2 with us” and that would work well with the new R2 shot I’ve added.You guys are my Brian Trust. What do ya think?
Triadne, came to see some of the comments over here.
Still deeply interested in the end result!!

I would love to see these as well.
Loved Rebels.
I’d like to take a look at this.
Sounds great!
Ma klounkee.
Only this time we find out who he/she is!
While you’re at it why not align the planet coming into frame with the musical sting as it was in 1977?
This please.
Merry Christmas! As you guys know, I’ve been working on the original Tatooine matte painting for a while. Here you can watch the results of my work! Also - I decided to keep the original timing, so Tantive IV will no longer fly with a camera movement 😃

(edit) It may not look that good because of the YouTube compression.
Been gone a while and just now seeing this project.
Well done here! Ready to see the rest of the shot! =)
Wow… Quiet in here since I came last.
Ahem…
The prequels are still horrible and need to be corrected.
As you were.
there’s some good stuff in there, though!
Agreed. The end credits brought a tear to my eye.
There hasn’t been a perfect Star Wars film since ESB for me personally. But if you dislike something, you find holes.
It’s not hard to pick a film apart.
Part of the reason I enjoyed Rise was that my 9-year-old daughter and I had a blast. I’m wondering if it takes a kid’s mind to appreciate Star Wars in 2020?
Anyway, to each their own. I enjoyed the snot out of it,
No offense. So glad I watched this movie and enjoyed it before I came on here.
I’m sorry to say you just plain don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s not a matter of noticing it or not. Show me a shot and I can tell you if it’s on sticks, a dolly, a crane, or handheld. Shaky cam is handheld photography, plain and simple. That’s just what it is. And I’ve seen TFA enough to know that there’s literally only two shots in the movie with handheld photography, when they’re in the basement of Maz’s castle during the FO attack. There’s also a scene on the Falcon with simulated handheld, but you can tell it’s still on sticks. There’s nothing else in the film that’s “shaky” (besides arguably a couple effects shots). That’s it.
This… All of this.
Or go even crazier and replace Ewan with Alec Guiness.
We need someone to get good at this technique. So many possibilities.
Look forward to the progress.
It’s a great start.
I too would like to know why Kenobi’s lightsaber was changed.
Keep up the solid work.
I have a Superman film in my head but I’m afraid no one would watch it! lol
- Make Qui-Gon Obi-Wan’s elder brother.
- In the Naboo saber fight, Maul cuts off Qui-Gon’s arm. Right before Maul can finish Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan uses a mind trick to sneak up on Maul and kill him.
- Qui-Gon takes the role of Count Dooku. He escapes the Republic, leads the Separatists, yada yada. The key difference is that he is not in league with Sidious.
- Anakin slays Qui-Gon instead of Dooku at the start of ROTS.
Basically make it so that the character of Dooku does not exist and his role gets transferred to Qui-Gon, the Secessionist Light Side Templar.
I think a complete reboot is needed. Not restructuring. Qui-Gon has no business being a major character at all. Obi-Wan should be a full-fledged Jedi Knight and aged enough that he’s had a few apprentices. Not to mention that in midst of 20 years, Obi Wan goes from looking like he’s in his late 30’s and then 80 in A New Hope. His age needs adjusting.
Naboo had no purpose. Alderaan needs to be a major planet in the films. We all know why.
I like the idea of uniforms. I too feel like it was strange the Tattooine clothing line becomes the Jedi robes.
I have a lot of thoughts about re-imagined prequels… Just need time to lay them all out.
These are interesting ideas.
I’ve also contemplated the issue of Luke using his Skywalker name. Sine we really can’t get away from that I think the thing to do is:
That last bit would have to be achieved by having a lot have to happen in Episode 2. Maybe “The act” happens in episode 2, but the fake death of Amidala happens there as well which would plunge him deeper into the dark side.
The third film takes place 9 months later. The birth of the twins occurs, and a side-bar adventure is Padme going through a series of events to hide the kids, and act that at one point leads to a sacrificial death. None of which Anakin is privy to as he’s busy with his Jedi Holocaust.
So… You’re really praying Poe isn’t in the next film?
I actually enjoyed the film, but I am fascinated with your cuts. How do I view it?
