@Dominic
Have you considered maybe using some pieces of the Kylo/Vader fan film? Like for eg. You mention in the opening crawl that Kylo Ren is trying to find this Fleet. So it could be some kind of His vision After touching Vaders helmet in which at the end he hears Vaders voice saying Mustafar or something. Then he knows where to go next. It could make His journey longer.

Are you planning to use some different ideas/pieces from other threads like for eg purple lightsaber or shots of Coruscant etc??

BTW, i cant wait to See your work 💪🏽 i m So hyped 😉

I don’t think there’s really a natural place to use that footage with the way I have the film cut right now.

The purple lightsaber I’m considering. Not entirely sold. If someone could do it in this specific shade of purple I might use it though.

Coruscant for the celebration I’d love to use but I haven’t seen anyone do it yet. I’m also curious about the conference room scene taking place in Coruscant’s orbit but again I don’t think anyone’s done it yet.

As for other things, I’m keeping tabs. I’m not a big fan of the visual Force ghosts but I kind of like the idea of seeing flashes of them in the wide shots only. I do kinda like the idea of Ajan Kloss being Naboo, and I go back and forth about the tank of Palpatine clones.

What with all these people doing VFX shots, I should probably go back and see if I had any crazy ideas I wanted that might be accomplished that way.

Sound Perfect 😉

And what about the kiss? 😀

This edit helps cement the idea that these people are a family now, instead of Rey being completely alone on a desert planet at the end. Her friends are there waiting for her : )

It also helps explain why BB-8 is there, he’s just a curious little friend : )

I’m gonna join everyone else in saying that this is an amazing idea! This and the new shot of the Falcon leaving really help emphasize that Rey isn’t staying on Tatooine, making the ending much more satisfying.

Combine this with DomCobb’s rescore idea and the ending would basically be perfect in my opinion.

+1
I think it would be the Perfect ending as well

The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant (Released)

Guys, did anyone consider doing Rey Solo instead of Rey Skywalker maybe?
Cause from the in universe point of view, it makes more sense. Han Solo was kinda a father mentor figure to her in E7. He brought her to the resistance then he saved her. And she basically inherited the Falcon After His death.
Then, Leia Organa Solo became a mother figure to her. She was her Jedi Master as well.
And of course her dyad in the force, Ben Solo. The Solos were more a family to her than Skywalkers.

Plus it would be a nice pararell to Han Solo. I mean, he was Just Han before some guy came up with the Solo surname.

Here’s a rough idea for changing the music in the final scene, using poppa’s WIP final shot:
https://vimeo.com/415655381

Wow its awesome 😮

Maybe guys you could just tease the Rey Killing her parents thing? Like, she tries to stop the transporter and during the process we could hear the small Rey s “come back” in the background, then show some Quick shots from the flashback from TFA and then intercut into Rey s using force lighting? Subtle enough to suggest she killed her parents but not too much, So the viewer can still interpret it as he wants.

Thank you!

Also szopman, I’m looking forward to the Maul episodes too! What I’m doing is splitting up the season 4 arc with Asajj and Maul.

So the episode where Dathomir is destroyed will be put onto the end of the Nightsisters arc and the epiosdes where Savage finds and ressurects Maul will open up the Revenge arc.

This will make ‘Revenge’ 2 hours long and a hell of an episode 😄

That could qualify to be a movie format 😈😀

Just some random new idea. What do you guys think, maybe instead of seeing the Luke and Leia s ghosts at the end, we could just insert some flashbacks with Rey and the Skywalkers / OT characters with the closing music theme somehow extended? Or even somehow insert some good moments from all the Saga? The in universe explanation could be that she Just somehow See all those important moments through Force. And maybe the flashback sequence could end with the Twins ghosts as a culmination of the Skywalkers story. Then After a while she responds “Rey Skywalker”. Then it would have more impact I think. Like, all Skywalker Saga Led to this moment.

The New Republic EP1: A Vergence in the Force 4K (The Mandalorian Season 1 Edit) [V4 RELEASED]
Time

smudger9 said:

So after sadly abandoning my Clone Wars epic after a hardware failure, and taking time away from editing, I’ve decided to return to the fold with a fanedit of The Mandalorian Season 1 in the classical Star Wars movie format.

The plan is to produce a single movie of around 2.5 hours, whilst maintaining the character development and story flow.

My first cut is done and is coming in at the 2:45 mark. I’d like it shorter, but at the moment its difficult to see how I can take a chunk out. I’m currently sticking with most of Chapter IV because it allows the Mando-Cara and Mando-Child relationship to develop and is key to the Mando’s motivation to return to Nevarro.

Here is the opening 5 minutes with the classical crawl. I’ve also made a couple of adjustments to the Mando-Grief intro such as removing the “I can only pay half” line.

Enjoy

And here is a Star Wars Episode VII version, for those that don’t like the ST!

Hello there 😉
Im super happy you returned to fanediting the Star Wars stuff.
Would you consider maybe realising a third version without any Episode number? For eg. Just leaving the crawl and all, Just without "Episode… “? 😉

Szopman,
of course. that makes a bunch of sense. Some of the arcs I’m going to work on are based on my preference (Malevolence, Geonosis, Umbara, Mortis, The Unknown, Sacrifice). I can imagine my edits won’t use the episode format but will be numbered outside of the edit, so the complete viewing order is clear.

This plan will work for both OPTION 1 and OPTION 2. Although I’m currently leaning more over to OPTION 1.

Well, cant wait to See your project then 😉 especially ashoka /maul centered ones

Just one suggetion from my part: you could replace the normal intro reel from the series with the Type of opening crawl that we saw in SOLO.

Great ideas, but I d suggest only one thing here.
Maybe instead of doing “Episodes” format you could guys consider the spinoff/anthology format. Without ep numbers. This Way, people could choose the orde of the films or which one do they want to watch, which ones they prefer to ignore. Everyone of them could be an in dependent story as well as a part of the series 😉

Kind of a weird, possibly pointless note considering what you’ve set out as your goals, but considering you’re changing the lore anyway, I think leaving Kylo’s ultimate fate ambiguous, i.e. cutting away before he dies is kinda a good idea (thus avoiding repetitive “redeemed bad guy dies instantly after doing good thing” trope, and also not requiring fx to add him to Tatooine or anything like that).

I’m definitely considering alternatives to Ben’s fate, although personally I think cutting away after the kiss and never showing him again may be a step too far in terms of ambiguity.

And a question: are you planning to keep the way Rey defeats Palpatine the same as in the movie: by blocking force lightning with 2 lightsabers? (it’s super dumb)

I with you there, although I can’t really think of any alternative. I’m all ears though if someone comes up with something.

Thoughts, anyone? I understand it may be out of this edit’s scope, but on the other hand to me these elements are nearly as ew as rey palpatine and “Rey Skywalker”, speaking of which, is that final line staying? Changing that goes together with preserving “Rey the nobody”, does it not?

I don’t really see it as contradicting Rey Nobody, in fact I think it works well with it. In either scenario, she’s adopting the name because she’s fulfilling the Skywalker legacy, regardless of her upbringing.

That said, there is a chance, depending on what I do with the final scene, that the moment will be cut anyway.

About the alternatives for Bens fate, have you considered cutting him completely After the moment Rey heals him? Then Rey faces the Emperor by herself, and maybe even dies, or not. Then in the end we can go back to Ben, meeting the vision of His father etc, and closing the movie with reborn Ben Solo, throwing His lightsaber away, leaving is with ambigous bitter sweet ending. Ben Solo came back to light, survived the movie. But what next? He cant go back to the FO, Resistance and the New Republic wont forget nor forgive him His crimes either. Now he has to find a Way to redeem himself and spend the rest of His life trying somehow to repair the evil he has done. Maybe he ll run away on an exile? Maybe he ll rebuild the Jedi order? Maybe he ll fight the remnants of the FO? It would be a nice open ending i think.

The Mandalorian - A Star Wars Story (Season 1 into a 2 hour film) <em>Spoilers!</em> (unfinished)
Time

Hi, seems like a good idea for a fanedit, i enjoyed the show, but i dont wanna watch all 8 eps everytime I rewatch the STAR Wars on Blu Ray, So it would be nice to watch it in a 2,5h movie format.

About the title, maybe you could think about using some Old Eu Boba fett novels title?
Like for eg, Hard Merchandise. Or The Mandalorian Armor? I think both would fit and it would be a nice nod to the previous SW material.

Or maybe you could follow the anthology titles format? THE MANDALORIAN:A STAR WARS STORY?

Quick question, will you use “Long Time ago…” at the beginnjng and the classic ending credits?
