Watched you clip Dan and it's pretty good...

I would like to see more.... Check out this If you can find a higher resolution there is some good stuff to use in that clip.

I'm always on the look out for usable footage for this edit - especially anything to do with Boba Fett or stuff taking place on Endor-like planets. Unfortunately that Adidas ad appears to be made of recycled footage from the OT. Thanks anyway.

I'll upload the current version of the radical edit at some point if you want to see it, but it's still nowhere near completion.

The original edit is online. Check your PMs. The other more experimental one is still being worked on, but I'll upload a workprint soon.

I did some shots in After effects about a year ago... They are really rough shots but I never got around to putting the sequence together... I might actually do this later on today or next week.

Basically a few things that everyone seemed to agree about in the collaborative thread was that The rebels rush for the port / deathstar attack had a few issues. I'll list the main points.

1. No Turret Defense and no ships got taken down by any guns turrets

2. It did not feel like they were being chased by ties across the surface

3. A few rebels needed to get blown up to show more of a struggle

4. No Coms chatter

5. No Shots of Tie Fighter Pilots protecting the deathstar

6. No Shots of tie fighters launching from the Hanger

So I have some clips that I did and I will string it together and post it here but what I found was that I could not get the pacing of it right it felt far too slow.

But I think it's time I had another go at it

This sounds really interesting. I'd very much like to see it when it's finished.

Sorry but...

"Took out Lando 'Yeehaaa' or whatever cheesy line it is, when they escape the Death Star"

That scene is one of the greatest achievements in human history! Including landing on the moon!

If I could wave a magic wand and do one thing from Star Wars it would probably be, blasting out of an exploding death star in the Falcon reathed in fire shouting Yeehaaa in Billy Dee's voice (Whilst wearing a flowing grey cape and suave moustache preferably)

I've watched that hundreds of times and I swear down I almost reckon hes not gonna make it everytime.  Goosebumps, chills down the spine and huge open mouthed smiling ensues every time.

But that just my personnal preference lol

Taking out the Lando yeehaaa was about the first thing I cut. I always hated it, and honestly if I couldn't have seamlessly cut it I may have abandoned the edit before going any further.

actually you know what, chewie doing a tarzan impression is one of the worst things in the whole 6 film saga. That needs changing deffo

Definitely. That was another must-go moment.

One of the sources you were waiting for with the experimental edit is done. Not sure if there is any good footage that wasn't already available.

Cool! Thanks for letting me know.

There's not much there that could be added, unfortunately. A few moments maybe. Some action with an AT-ST around 6 minutes. There's a nice big pan of an imperial base at the 8 minute mark. And obviously it's nice to have a higher quality version of the Tydirium landing on Endor.

On an unrelated note, Dane Ditor is a cool Star Wars name.
