Revenge of the Jedi (The Snooker edit) (Cancelled: *unfinished project *)
Time

I have gotten back to where I was before in editing!

Here’s a change that I’ve been working on that I would like some help with:

Password: Vader

I feel like 2004 JEJ doesn’t mesh well with 82 JEJ, and I can’t make “the” sound right. Does anybody have any advice? Thanks!

Shit!

Looks like my one and only project file got corrupted and smart little ol’ me neglected to create any backups! Fuck!

I feel torn apart! 15 days of work!

Good news:

I didn’t lose any VFX shots (to my knowledge)

Bad news:

Editing is tedious as all hell. So is sound design!

Don’t expect any updates for another few days while I try to recreate what I had.

You wouldn’t believe how happy I am to hear that!

My next course of action will be to storyboard the entire final act to find out how many new shots I need to make. The Han death sequence is pretty much mapped out in my brain, too. This may take a while to actually finish, but it’s so satisfying to create something and have people like it!

JEDIT: Here’s the Emperor scene again with fixed wipe and with added BLUR

I think another way to make it a bit more real is a (slightly) subtle white glow around the ships like in Rogue One, it gives a nice look to the ships.

While that would make it look the best it would then stick out more from the 1983 footage. Keep in mind that I want everything to blend and fit in nicely.

I like the wipe but think it’d be better if it was a little bit faster.

Yeah, I quickly threw this together so that I could upload a preview! 😕

Normally wipes are 1 second and I had to make this one 2 or else I would have had to put in some effort!

…is it possible to add some sort of slight motion blur (in-post or however you do it) it’s a little thing that can give more life to the new animated scenes.

I knew that something was missing! I did a quick test and I think you’re right about it giving new life! Thank you!

I will upload a gif later with all vfx shots updated to include motion blur.

Edit: Here’s a thought: use those awesome whale sound effects from TLJ as the cloaking sound effect of the Eclipse.

Also can anyone splice together some C3PO dialogue to make him say “Where is General Solo?” or something? Thanks!

This is a really tough thing. The only reason why Luke’s lashout at Vader has any weight is because Vader is threatening Leia, someone that Luke knows and loves. Also I have never personally had an issue with Luke being Leia’s brother.

We shall see what decision I ultimately make.

Here’s another quick preview. Keep in mind that the actual wipe is unfinished 😃

Proposed Luke “Sister” storyline.

Obi Wan talks to Luke and he mentions his twin sister. The conversation ends after Ben says “your sister remains safely anonymous…”

Luke and Leia’s conversation on Endor (after Luke says that he must leave to confront Vader):

“He’s my Father”

“Your father?”

“The Force is strong in my family… my father has it, I have it, my sister has it…”

“No! Luke, run away. Far away!”

And the rest of the conversation continues as normal with Han stepping in to hug Leia (without jealousy)

Luke’s sister isn’t mentioned until the end by Vader.
