(Star wars tribute) Rey Skywalker | Who you are

This star wars tribute is dedicated to Rey skywalker, though in truth it is also dedicated to Sian Thomas, my mom. Though I have largely negative views and feeling towards the star wars sequel trilogy and its characters, its protagonist Rey struck a chord with my mom from almost her first scene in the force awakens. For that reason, I wanted to make a Tribute to Rey and create something that my mom (who has been very encouraging in regards to my video editing) would be better able to enjoy and appreciate than my Halo tributes. I originally intended to release this as a Mother's Day day present but due to drama school work and mass file corruption on my computer I have missed that date by more than a month. However, after remaking the project almost from scratch radically improving how efficient I am with my time to workaround schoolwork, it's finally finished.
This tribute focuses primarily on Rey's relationship with Identity in regards to the Force and her family with additional emphasis on her relationship with Leia and Ben. I particularly wanted to convey the emotional turmoil Rey goes through as a result of discovering her true heritage and Leia's death, so the Video is structured around that one point.
Those more interested in my Halo tributes might be happy to hear that I will be returning to making Halo content with the hope of releasing a John 117 Tribute in time for the release of Halo Infinite.
To all those who watch this tribute, I thank you profusely and hope that you enjoyed it. Constructive criticism is very welcome as is any effort to share any of my creations with other people or platforms.

Beautiful work Rohan! Even though the quick cuts are risky especially when one does it all throughout, I can understand your choices here. It actually matches Rey’s chaotic energy. Something we always were curious about when we all first watched the Force Awakens. Although Rey’s journey could’ve been handled better, you assembled something pretty special here. A reflection of Rey’s inner turmoil with her heritage. Which was the most interesting thing about her character. Loved the music choices too! I’ve been planning to use the second song (Never Goodbye) for a future project as well ;) I hope you continue doing this if this is what you’re passionate about. May the Force be with you!

[@rohanthomas4134]

You have just made me exceptionally happy. Thank you so much for your kind words and for checking out the video in the first place. The focus on her inner turmoil was exactly what I was going for. I’ll definitely keep editing, I love doing it so much and I’ve got lots of ideas to create (I’m even toying with the idea of a Halo saga tribute inspired by your “the last skywalker” mega tribute) Thank you again sir and my the force also be with you.

[@plexaurella1043]

This is awesome! Rey’s ENTIRE story and arc is beautifully summarized. Such a powerful edit that captures the heart of this wonderful story. Thank you!

[@rohanthomas4134]

It's wonderful to hear that, thank you!

[@AlexaLexie]

This is such a beautiful tribute for Rey, omgosh. Hands down one of the best tributes for her on this site!!

[@rohanthomas4134]

That means a a lot coming from you. I’m so happy you liked it so much considering that your probably my favourite star was editor. Thank you!

[@jananae4063]

I absolutely love this. I know her character was plagued by some bad writing, but her arc was beautiful in spite of it. Her struggles with identity and anger were wonderfully realistic and human; I love that in a character.

[@rohanthomas4134]

It makes me very happy to hear that. Though I started this project purely as a present to my mother (who loves Rey) and not out of any love for the character I eventually found a lot to love about her. I like to think that my newfound appreciation is communicated in this tribute.

[@hermitsunite953]

As a writer... Rey is a Mary Sue. She has too much plot armor. Yeah she struggles with anger, but who doesn't. Rey isn't a very good character.

[@sir_smile2353]

Bro, your editing skills are amazing! I can’t believe this barely has any views, overall great work.

[@rohanthomas4134]

Thank you, I think I learnt a lot making this edit. Personally I’m satisfied so long as I know that people like you found so much enjoyment out of my efforts, and hay there’s still time, who knows how many views it will get in the future.

[@FreeEagle31]

This is so beautiful!!!!! Wow!!! Thank you! Rey is my hero, You took so precise that moment with Leia that makes her so beautiful, that friendship between the two and Rey's respect for Leia. Beautiful! I will post your video in my group and Rey's page.

[@SyncCryo]

This is absolutely brilliant! I personally will never understand the hate this trilogy gets. *quick question* How do you get all these scenes without the music from the actual movies playing in the background?

[@rohanthomas4134]

Believe it or not, I'm something of a detractor of the sequel trilogy myself but I have a newfound appreciation for many of its elements after making this tribute as a present for my mother. There is still plenty of stuff I'd criticise, but there is a lot that I know think is more than worthy of love and celebration. To answer your question, I use a program called adobe audition. it has a feature that attempts to extract and isolate different types of noise like speech, sound effects and music. it's not perfect and it has limits and you can hear a lot of tell-tail fuzzy background in this video if you know what to listen for but it gets the job done for the most part. there are better ways that result in cleaner sound but they require specialised software or piracy to do it. If you have the physical media as ether dvd or blue ray you can use a peace of software like Handbreak to render the clips you want in your desired video format, just be sure to render the chosen media in 5.1 audio (assuming that is an option) as this will give you multiple audio channels in your editing software one of which having most of the dialogue and sound effects and nothing else. (this varies depending on the media you are using) the other option is piracy. There are plenty of tutorials that will teach you how to torrent movies and TV shows safely on KZbin all I will say is that if you chose to you should make sure To download files that are already in the 5.1 audio format. Bear in mind this method is considered illegal in dozens of countries around the world so do so at your own risk. I do hope this has answered your question and thank you for your kind words.

@@SyncCryo happy to help. It always frustrated me that i could never find an adequate explanation for the use of 5.1 audio in editing even from other editors. I’m only to glad to help a fellow editor out with what I’ve learned.

Aw man I was hoping for a Star Wars Expanded Universe tribute video... *(internally cries)*

I’m not sure how that would be made considering most of the expanded universe is made up of non visual media but it would be interesting to try.
