Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - Fan Edit Ideas thread... — Page 7

Chirrit was likely the best character in the movie. Just remove where he kicks dirt in the troopers face…wtf he’s wearing a mask for god sake.

Another point on Vaders MOTIVATION in the movie. Seems to me in SW77 He is not all about the plans, he wants the rebel base location, not impressed with the Death star or too concerned wit actually getting the plans or he would have went to tatooine personally. Did he know they were on tatooine and couldn’t bear to go back down where he used to live. He got Leia she knows where the base is that’s enough. Doesn’t even stay in the system to make sure the plans are retrieved, he takes leia straight to the death star— was Leia the only survivor because I bet most of the crew knows the location he can interrogate them also… so in this movie his motivation is ???
There I go rambling again…

I would remove all instances of Yavin V being named so should you watch ANH next you might think Leia cracked and gave the name of the base away when she gives Tarkin Dantooine as a vain attempt to spare Alderaan.

I think the opening of the film was unsettling, looked a bit amateur, I mean who directed it Tarantino? thw film still lacked the fantasy and mythological element that I now truely believe was brought by Henson. Multi strand narrative fail, it needed to have a beginning, middle and end. It was all over the shop in terms of narrative structure, and I did disengage a few times, too much repetition. It needs someone to get hold of that footage and re edit it for sure. A great film crying to come out but either rushed or capitalised. However, I was surprised , this was the only film I haven’t followed after the disappointment of the the last 4 , I did have a few moments where it reminded me of ESB.

This is an excellent idea, and it can be pulled off with little effort

You are right, very good point indeed!

I would defo edit the opening.

Remove the jumping planet to planet and titles.

It definitely needs the star wars fanfare and crawl.

Remove the mind reading monster.

Corny jokes removed.

3po r2 cameo removed.

Darth vader choke, didn’t need to show his fingers. And definitely remove the “choking on your ambitions” line that was cringe worthy.

Showing Leia’s face he back was enough.

Vader’s castle removed.

Vader scene(s) removed.

All easter eggs removed.

Stardust references removed.

Soooo basically take out everything Star Wars-related and then add a crawl. Maybe we can replace the space battle with scenes from Red Tails. lol *idea for the ‘Ridiculous’ cut.

An Idea:
-The main crawl’s music will be “Main Title”, Take 18.

[In the beginning part, you can hear a cresendo]
Since of that cresendo, you can both mix the title card and crawl together.
And for the title card, it can be one of jack’s mockups.

I’m onboard for a title card tweak. Maybe something simple like this… Untitled-1.jpg

I like the logo from the trailer, just without the “A Star Wars Story” on the bottom.

I think I am alone, but the Choking on your ambitions line is growing on me.

Never understood the hate for that line. I think it’s in character for Vader, especially since he’s in the familiar setting of his personal castle. I have observed that it is customary for humans to be less formal in their own homes, at least during my visits to the planet Earth.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

“Be careful not to choke on your *aspirations(not ‘ambitions’), Director” – hence, the breathing pun… Aspiration: (1) a hope or ambition of achieving something (2) the action or process of drawing breath.

Although I don’t feel like the line is a grand slam, I personally am not bothered by it.

Maybe faneditors can try something more subtle…

Rogue one is a bad title, not starwarsie at all. If you want to include a crawl, change the title as well. Call it… well… A Spark of Rebellion, or The Rebellion Rises, something like that.

Rogue One is a way better title than The Rebellion Rises. 😄

Well the Rises one might not be great but Rogue One doesn’t sound like a SW movie but rather like a SW video game. If you take the time to make a crawl you could push it to make a new title. Besides I like the fact that fanedits have an alternate title.

Since “hope” is the theme, why not: A Spark of Hope ? Or Stardust memories… oh… well…

Because that actually sounds like a fanfilm title. Or… well… a fanedit title.

I’d actually just rename ANH “ROGUE TWO”

Why not call it Episode IV: A NEW HOPE Part One?
