LEGO® Star Wars™: The Skywalker Saga
Play through all nine Star Wars™ saga films in a brand-new LEGO video game unlike any other. ModOp and I created this trailer from gameplay moments, cutscenes, and official LucasFilm sound effects. Being both a Star Wars and LEGO fan, this project was extremely on brand for my nerd credit. The biggest challenge of this trailer was striking the balance between the humor of LEGO and the seriously epic storytelling of the Star Wars universe.
For this project, I was lead editor. I worked closely with Andrei Haq and Hank Strong to make this gameplay trailer. The main client was Warner Brothers, who’s main direction was to have a decent mix of footage from all episodes of the Skywalker Saga.
The gameplay trailer premiered live on Gamescom Opening Night Live 2020 to 150k viewers. It gathered a lot of excitement from the chat, especially when the rarely seen character Yaddle made an appearance.
In addition to editing the gameplay trailer, I created social media assets and localized the trailer for 16 different regions. This trailer, like the game, is worldwide. The localization process was handled by Matthew Lane Smith on Graphics, Hank Strong producing, and myself changing edits, creating subtitles, placing localized voice overs, and finally exporting all the various versions for each region.
