Cool world building btw.

This show has done a lot for showing that every planet is different, with its own local culture & traditions with Ferrix and Chandrila. It’s pretty cool.

Predictions for episode 12!

• Luthen, Cinta, Vel, and Cassian all meet at Marva’s funeral
• Syril is also there
• Bix identifies Luthen via Dedra’s surveillance
• This puts Kleya & the shop in immense danger and Luthen must go into exile (with Cassian in tow)
• Syril’s incompetence will allow their escape. Hopefully this leads to Dedra killing Syril. I can’t wait for that guy to die.
• Mon will accept the the mob boss’s offer

Season 2 has a lot of ground to cover in terms of the Rebellion growing, that’s for sure.

Could not get this idea out of my head:

Wookiee musical about an enclave of Wookiees surviving in a low level of Coruscant, and the troubles they face with increased oppression from the Empire. Titled “Fiddler on the Wroshyr”, includes the famous song “Tradoshans!”

Is this where we start lobbying for a “Tony Gilroy’s Rogue One Re-edit” as a series finale after Season 2?

No, someone already said that

202

Can’t wait until they clone Cassian and we get Keeef Guurgo

@adywan someone told me if you have the hdr or Dolby vision metadata from the original trilogy it can be added to your fanedit but the only thing I wasn’t sure on was would your new footage complicate that or not just wondering. because if it doesn’t I’m surprised you and nobody knew about this I didn’t know about until yesterday.

HDR is really just a different way of encoding the colors. Before OLED and Laser Projectors, there was a range to blacks. It basically expands that range. Someone skilled at the conversion could take any of his changes and render those shots in HDR. The only way to get true HDR is to shoot it in HDR. All old film was not designed for that and it will be an approximation. Some films can be scanned from the Original Negative and glean out some extra data when scanned as HDR. The Star Wars films are heavy on FX which really limits things. The scans we have were not scanned with HDR in mind, but with 3D in mind. So converting Adywan’s edit could be just as good as the Lucasfilm HDR version.

At least the way I understand it. You can discuss the color space and all the technical details, but at the root you have to have an original image that is suitable for HDR. Other have done HDR conversions of non-HDR sources.

So how can the lucasflim’s hdr grade be added to it then now I’m even more confused?

It can’t. Please stop.

This what someone said what are they talking about then? there are fanedits that copy/lift hdr metadata from one release and paste it on another is this true or is this person wrong?

He’s clearly saying that “this person” (whoever they are) is wrong. How would we know what some unnamed person was talking about in a conversation none of us were privy to?

A lot of the unfinished FX shots in there could be great resources for fanedits!

What unfinished effects shots?

could someone list them out?

the holochess table shot looks better than in the film more vibrant.

I don’t have a list, but I will say that, throughout the series - I’ve only watched the first 4, but that’s the end of the OT - any shots they use from the OT are definitely the original, optically composited effects. No SE or later changes! I’m sure others have noted this, and it’s obviously extremely necessary for a documentary like this, but it’s so great to see nonetheless. That is probably why the holochess table looks more vibrant.

Kino’s arc being all a ruse seems unlikely, as this is at least partly a show about belief & conversion, and he’s a great example of it.

If the Empire was trying to trick a group of people into being prisoners for life, I imagine that pretending to release them only to give them a new sentence would only work once. Maybe the prisoners are ‘released’ only to be transported to the neighboring prison building for the remainder of their life sentences, and one prisoner was accidentally placed back in the same building in a different level, at which point the game was up.

But wouldn’t they just be like “…hey I was supposed to be released!” to their new team, and then we end up with the same problem?

I’m imagining that there are two prison systems, one for prisoners who believe that they are working out a temporary sentence and one for prisoners who know that they are in for life. Whenever prisoners complete their sentence in the first system they are transferred to the second system (perhaps in a different building altogether) and so everyone there knows that they have been lied to and they are in for life.

This gets screwed up if someone who was supposed to be released is placed back into the first prison system instead of going to the second, which may be what has happened with the prisoner on Level 2.

Right, I just have a difficult time imagining what that looks like or how it would in any way be productive

Chandrila is beginning to seem like the planet where all the wealthy and ignorant people are from.

I think this is just because the only Chandrilans we’ve met are the ones who would travel or move to Coruscant. Tay made it pretty clear that Mon’s way of life on Coruscant is much fancier than the usual Chandrilan lifestyle. I’m hoping we actually get to see Chandrila sometime, and maybe some of its more normal denizens, but the apparent introduction of a Chandrilan mob boss does not achieve that goal.

What exactly do we think happened with Level 2? Did a guy think he was getting released from Level 4, but really he was just reassigned to Level 2, and when the Level 2 prisoners realized the truth, they rioted? Or was he supposed to be released but they made a bureaucratic error? Or…something else? The fact that frying an entire level took so much power that it knocked out power elsewhere in the prison temporarily has interesting implications for the potential of a full-scale riot. On the other hand, the prison does not seem all that difficult to completely flood if commanding officers on the highest level deem it necessary.

Why are the prisoners assembling things, when the Empire could just use droids, like the Geonosians used to build droids in AOTC? We do see plenty of people doing manual labor, so maybe that’s just how the economics of droids works in the galaxy, but it wouldn’t shock me if all their labors were actually pointless and the inspection process in a separate facility is just droids disassembling them and reassembling them properly.

Also, Keef Girgo, though surely a perfect Star Wars Name, is a little too similar to Greef Karga

Keep in mind that the title has to work for both seasons; I suspect Season 2 will feel at least a bit different as Cassian will (probably) be much more all-in.

Question for the group. Contains a spoiler

Do you think Kleya is acting on her own by arranging a meeting with Vel and telling her to kill Cassian? I get the feeling from the secretive nature of the meeting and Vel wondering why Luthen isn’t there with her that Kleya may not have told Luthen about her plan. I also get the impression that Vel isn’t going to do it since Cassian protected her by doing away with Skeen and leaving her all the money. He did the right thing for her, I think she’ll return the favor.

I totally agree

Unfortunately, I have only collected ROTJ storyboards. I decided at the start of the project that collecting for one movie was more than enough work.

If you are interested in collecting for ESB or ANH, I would be happy to give you tips on how to find them.

I’m glad it worked for someone. I think that’s the only moment in the show so far that my wife and I thought was stupid. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean…

That’s the point! Or at least one of them. You can be evil and do bad things not look or feel like you are.

Still following it: I get what this series is trying to do, I see the efforts, just too bad it’s soooooooooo slow with no emotion (and a bit of a very lackluster casting, especially Diego Luna, totally uninteresting). I thought it was going full “Bourne” but it’s now closer to “Michael Clayton”… which is kinda off topic. It seems the series will only be 24 episodes spanned over 2 seasons: they better hurry to start telling a story (and not just close ups of sad people’s faces), there isn’t much time left already.

We are watching two different shows it seems. 🤔

Not really: I just don’t find anything great about it, while you seem to enjoy a lot public servants reading files and people hiking in the highlands.

How about the latest episode?

Wait, I have more to say

Through these characters and their story, they have so far shown us

• The difficulties & stresses of living a double life
• The perspective of Corporate Security & ISB who, in their own ways, just want to do their jobs
• The difference between Cassian & the other early Rebels, and the first steps in his conversion

What?

The story so far:

• Kassa was one of a band of children on a world with seemingly no living adults, abandoned after mining failure or something. A spacecraft crashed on the planet, and when scavengers came to raid the crash site, Kassa was adopted and taken of world by a nice lady in the scavenging crew. He was then given the identity of Cassian Andor, but his sister was left behind.
• Many years later, Cassian (and his mom) were living in a Corporate Sector. He borrows his friend’s boss’s ship to fly to nearby planet in the sector looking for his sister who he heard was working there as a prostitute… but she’s not there anymore. He’s not supposed to be there either, and in the course of escaping he kills two Corporate Security Officers.
• The boss of the Corporate Security office tasked with investigating the murder is going to be away for a few days while making his annual report to the Empire, and he tells his deputy to just let the case go, they’ll never solve it, it doesn’t matter, better to keep things quiet. The Deputy is idealistic and foolish, and decides to investigate, eventually hunting Cassian down.
• Meanwhile, Cassian has a stolen Imperial surveillance part worth a lot of money, and he’d like to sell it through a friend who has connections to the Black Market, specifically to the Rebellion. His friend makes the call, and Luthen comes to Cassian’s planet to make the purchase.
• Everything goes horribly wrong when the Corporate Security team sent to find and arrest Cassian arrives at the same time that Luthen is meeting Cassian to purchase the Imperial surveillance part. There is a lot of shooting and, thanks to some help from the disgruntled and rebellious populace of the city, Luthen & Cassian make their escape in Luthen’s ship. But they leave the Imperial surveillance part behind.
• A young woman rising through the ranks of the ISB takes interest in the case, because she is suspicious that all the various missing parts and other incidents across the galaxy are actually part of a coordinated Rebellion. She is passionate about her career and protecting the Empire.
• The Empire takes control of the Corporate Sector in response to how badly things went with Cassian’s attempted arrest and its apparent connection to something more sinister. They fire the Deputy, who returns home to Coruscant where his overbearing mother tries to find him a new job. The Deputy wants revenge on Cassian for ruining his life.
• Luthen recruits Cassian to join a Rebellion covert job in which a few people, posing as shepherds, will steal a large amount of money from the payroll of an Imperial base. Cassian is hired as a mercenary and joins only a few days before the heist, while the rest of the team have been putting months or even years into this job, and are all there due to passionate commitment to the cause of the Rebellion. Cassian is an outsider, and this causes problems within the group as they make their final preparations for the heist.
• Luthen returns to Coruscant, where he is an art & antiques dealer. He uses this cover to meet with Senator Mon Mothma, whose home life is not great, at least partly because her husband has very different values than hers. Both Luthen and Mon Mothma are worried about the heist.

It is, as people have said, great, and the suggestion that you should watch the first 3 “episodes” as one movie is correct.

I did not like the music at the end of episode 2; I thought it was very cheesy.

But pretty much everything else was great, and you’ve mostly all said it all.

On a very unimportant note, was this the first time “caf” made the jump to the new Canon?

Just wanted to give an update. Over the past few months, I’ve updated files here and there as new storyboards have appeared online. Unfortunately, I did not keep a list of the updates, so I’ll just give you a small taste here:

I continue to collect boards from the rest of the movie. If I ever get the time, I’ll work on that. Well, and the chronological editing analysis…

That, of course, assumes that physical media will still be sold instead of just D+

That makes sense, as Liam Neeson is 2 inches taller than Samuel L Jackson
