The Mystery Box has been opened- AND IT’S EMPTY!

I really liked this movie despite it having some flaws. The stuff with Luke and Rey is fantastic- Yoda was straight out of ESB, beautiful! However the B and C stories were meh at best.

Great Things:
Luke and Rey, Kylo and Rey mind connection, Snoke’s Death, Rey and Kylo’s short lived team up, YODA, Yoda, and Yoda, Andy Serkis acting like he was given some direction this time, Kylo Ren’s origin story having three different tellings, Rey’s parents being junkies, light speed kamikaze, the infinity mirror scene, Luke facing the entire FO fleet on his own, the force projection fake-out, and the return to the binary suns.

Not-so Great Things:
Finn and Rose’s story was a bore, Canto Bight was unimaginative, Poe learning the same lesson 100 times about being trigger-happy, SuperLeia, BB-8 commandeering an AT-ST, the slowest chase of all time between the Supremacy and the Resistance Ship, deactivating another thing on a ship because Star Wars, Phasma going out like a chump AGAIN, the soundtrack sounded like a William’s imitation (sorry, John), DJs awful stutter, the space battles felt like semi-video-gamey-cutscenes.

Things I need to think about:
Luke dying because he was tired.

Hey there, folks. I’ve seen a ton of the fan restorations and edit that spawned from here. I know DaVinci Resolve pretty well, and want to try my hand at a late 70’s looking color grade of TFA. I own a Blu-Ray copy- but I need to know how to get that file into editing software.

Anyone out there know how? Thanks

Can I assume “the wheels” is a color reference?
If so, where would one find it?

Do you have DaVinci?

Has anyone thought about setting up a Discord for OriginalTrilogy.com? I feel like it could work really well. If there already is one then, oops.

That’s a good idea. More of a “People Vader is going to kill” movie than a “Vader movie”.

I’d be down to see that film, my one reservation being that I fear new spinoffs may go too far in the ‘explaining every nook and cranny of the OT’ direction.

I’d much rather them create a brand new character we can latch onto, rather than milking Vader for the 8th time.

Hey, what source do you normally apply the grade to?

Or- how do you get footage from a blu-ray into DaVinci?

Neither was the writing for Rogue One… heh

I don’t know. I think that Vader is an awesome character, but I’m not sure he can carry a movie. The limited time he had in R1 is what made those moments great. Even the Vader comic that’s out right now is enjoyable, but to me proves that he can’t carry a story as a lead.

As for the super-weapon. No more super-weapons…

I mean, to be fair, the last version of the Adywan revisited I saw still used a lot of SE footage.

Maybe I’m naive, but I have a sliver of hope. I don’t think it’ll come in this first wave of spin-offs. But I think it could come someday.

I want to see a spin-off movie about something never explored in Star Wars before. No old planets, no old characters.

Just new stuff.

I think that if we still got to have official high quality theatrical releases, I would think that the special editions are pretty cool.

I mean think about it. Even though they aren’t good per-say, they’re pretty interesting ‘what if’ experiments. Adding new scenes and new effects to a classic movie is an interesting idea in and of itself.

What year/version are they.

Also, how much?
