So I feel this is potentially exciting for Star Wars faneditors. If we nip and tuck The Force Awakens, and maybe add some deleted scenes to calm the frantic pace down a touch, then I feel this movie could be special.
I’d like to end it one shot earlier as well. The final scene had slightly awkward editing all round, but surely you end on Luke’s face, given the whole film has led to that moment.
Add your ideas below…
You’re dreams are already coming true… okay, maybe not dreams. But I have already started a fan edit of the movie.
The goal of my edit personally is:
-Cut back on the fanservice moments, which are pretty obvious.
-Remove the Kylo Ren temper tantrums.
-Re-edit the film by taking out shots here and there and overly cheesy dialogue.
-Completely re-do the entire sound mix, as the current explosions and effects just didn’t appeal to me.
-Remove some of the unnecessary references to the prequels.
and most of all,
Ultimately remove The Force Awakens score and replace all of it with the best music from all the other films.
That last point is big for me. I kinda liked Rey’s theme and some notes from Kylo’s theme, but most of the score just didn’t stick with me. I personally thought it was the worst of all the Star Wars soundtracks. I can’t hold much against John Williams, as he is 83 now, but I was still disappointed.
As for the final shot of the movie…
