It’ll be interesting to see how it turns out. I think this approach lends towards those who want to merge the films. Seeing your other work, I’d not be surprised if we see a mapleized merged edit by some other editors.
I’ve honestly thought about doing that merged edit of Rogue One and A New Hope, but there would be a couple issues.
-
Going from brand new Rogue One made in 2017 to A New Hope from 1977 would be glaringly obvious visually.
-
There isn’t any footage to link the Tantive IV escaping via hyperspace above Scarif, to then being captured by Vader’s Star Destroyer above Tatooine. I suppose you could splice in the deleted scenes of Luke and Biggs in Anchorhead, but the footage is poor quality.
It might be worth a shot however!
