Mod Edit: The Ritty’s four threads for his Star Wars Saga have been merged into this one thread.

 

The following topics have been merged into this one:

22 movie Saga…
 

I’m back, so let the haters hate lol!

Ok, so I’m up to 22 movies now. One saga - no wooden acting or b.s. and it ALL connects - NO contradictions.

The Phantom Menace
Shroud of the Darkside
The Clone Wars
Magick of the Force (still haven’t found the right title!)
The Wrong Jedi
Revenge of the Sith
Solo
Spark of Rebellion
Twilight of the Apprentice
Rebels
Rogue One
A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
The Ewok Adventure (both films in one)
The Mandalorian (s1)
The Foundling (s2)
Fuel for the Fire
The Force Awakens
The Rise of Skywalker
Resistance
The Final Order

I’m not going to list what I changed - I don’t do that. If I could post a screen caps at least I would. It’s up to you to take the journey. I think I’ve revised these enough that I can’t do any better and this is as good as it gets. I’m too old and crippled up to do anymore work on them. All clock in at roughly 2hrs except ROTS, it has season 7 of clone wars spliced in and runs 3 1/2 hours.

Can I post a link here to my Twitter page with screencaps? Is that acceptable? Thanks.

Hit me up if you interested, I can always use the extra eyes and opinions. I can always make them better but I’m done re-watching and working on them, as they were only examples of HOW I would change things. The movie decisions still stand I think - even if you remove the cartoons from the list.

Cheers.

18 movie Saga…

The Ritty said:

I’m happy with these until the final piece, ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ drops.

18 films - blueprints as how to ‘fix everything’ really - not 100% polished fan edits lol This is (and post Jedi is still to come) self contained. No shows, books or games etc… The only two films we really need are an Obi Wan movie (set between I & II) and Solo II to make it snug. I’m not going to list what I changed 'cuz there’s so much. I fixed everything I could, sometimes imagination MAY be needed or I had to create special effects or use an animated scene…all kinds of surprises await. ALL the dots are connected now, no contradictions, etc. I know many have made edits, many have watched…MANY…edits.

Mine is the ENTIRE SAGA - not just one movie. My goal is to fix the STORY and characters and bring that early 80’s feel to ALL of them. I’m not concerned with how GREAT something looks. That means nothing to me. I don’t want anything to look like crap lol but if footage has a different quality sometimes - so be it. That doesn’t ruin my enjoyment. In the Rebels trilogy, SOMETIMES I may have needed a shot from an earlier season and sabine’s hair is a different color for one scene lol, stuff like that. I want YOU to have so much fun again that it doesn’t matter. I love Star Wars, I hate what’s happened to it and I made it so that EVERYTHING feels like the OT. I wish my Dad could have seen it RIP - he’s the only opinion I care about but I’ve had great feedback. It’s a journey, 18 films I Know but who can sit through ALL the other stuff to enjoy stars wars. It’s too diluted now (for me). So hopefully people enjoy my take. Maybe I’ll expand here later but I say just take the journey…

The Phantom Menace
Shroud of the Darkside
The Clone Wars
Sons of Dathomir
The Wrong Jedi
Revenge of the Sith
Solo
The Siege of Lothal
Twilight of the Apprentice
Rebels
Rogue One
A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
The Ewok Adventure
Resistance
Resistance II (eventually)
Resistance III (eventually)
The Force Awakens
The Last Jedi
The Rise of Skywalker (eventually)

So it’s,

The Prequel Trilogy
The Clone Wars Trilogy
The Rebels Trilogy
The Anothology
The Original Trilogy
The Resistance Trilogy
The Sequel Trilogy

I’m out after that haha, except for maybe a second anthology trilogy (like Mandalorian and Caspian, etc), that I could get with.

I’d love to know what people think of it - you have to start at Ep I and watch all the way through though…I’ve had people just start later cuz they didn’t like the prequels but then they missed all the good stuff. I enjoy the prequels just as much as the OT. EVERY Star Wars film is GOLD when cut right - even the Ewoks movie was good family entertainment. If only I had the negatives!

May the force be with you!

Questions - ask away. I’m on ALOT of pain medication and my brain doesn’t work well enough anymore to just go into FULL details, I apologize (I’ve been told i’ll prob be in a wheel chair in a few years boo hoo hoo etc) so just ask. I’f you’re gonna hate then save it pls lol 😃

Thanks again.

 

The following topics have been merged into this one:

14 movie Saga…

The Ritty said:

All 10 (11 with Solo blu ray) films, 2 more clone wars movies and a rebels movie. If anyone wants to take a gamble - let me know. My The Last Jedi has been called genius so that’s all the praise I have right now LOL 😉 But seriously, all films edited down to roughly 2 hrs each (I don’t think with this many movies - anything longer works) with most of the deleted footage re-inserted.

SW EP I The Phantom Menace
SW EP I.5 Shroud of the Darkside
SW EP II The Clone Wars
SW EP II.5 The Force Unbalanced
SW EP III Twilight of the Apprentice
SW EP III.5 Revenge of the Sith
SW EP IV Solo
SW EP IV.5 Rebels
SW EP V Rogue 1
SW EP V.5 A New Hope
SW EP VI The Empire Strikes Back
SW P VI.5 Return of the Jedi
SW EP VII The Force Awakens
SW EP VIII The Last Jedi
SW EP IX The Travesty Concluded (OK, so that’s not real lol but on a side note, I know the ‘_.5’ is stupid but they’ll all get proper numeral titles when all is done)

All I can say is I tried to put the FUN back into Ep 1, the romance back into 2, give answers to the questions raised in II & III into TCW (Syfo Dias and Order 66), Han shooting first and the original jabba’s palace scene back into the OT, remove the jj-isms out of 7 and return OUR Luke back into Ep 8. The other 2 CW movies tell how a certain Solo cameo character returned and give Asohka her dues… Aside from my altered Jedi ending, Yoda landing on Degobah and meeting Quigon (who doesn’t disappear after Ep I, staying till Ep VI) is the thing that I added that I love the most. George was right in saying it hurt the flow of III’s end but it was because Yoda had nothing to do. This is the way it should have been.

I’ll try and post all the changes when I do commentary tracks. I also have a question - can we post screenshots? Thank you.

I think after Ep 9 I’m out. I’m happy with my cuts, Solo answered most questions and even though it leaves itself open for a sequel (which I think Lando should be II and Boba Fett III) I think it gives us enough that we don’t need one (not that we even NEEDED Solo lol). May the force be with those who blindly give my cuts a whirl and to the others I’m gonna get on that list of changes soon.

Also, don’t be stupid and jump on the boycott train - if you want to see Solo, go see it. Aside from the droid it’s really VERY good and boycott ep 9 instead (which won’t happen and will be a huge hit because of mama klump’s fav actor returning). Solo had nothing to do with the sequels and the death of everything we loved lol. Solo, like R1 has the feeling of and pays homage to the OT. Both movies HAVE flaws yes but they are both better than the sequels from another dimension. 😉

I also re-cut
The Crow (the Skull Cowboy should have been in it, for many reasons - so now he is)
Dracula (a lot of the cut footage should have stayed in, too bad it’s in the condition it’s in now)
Batman V Superman (into a batman movie and not a superman sequel)
Superman II (combining both Donner and Lester versions, as neither are truly complete)
The Pink Panther Strikes Again (added del scenes in place of other ones)
Curse of the Pink Panther (combining Trail and Curse into one movie)
Saw (1-6 in a movie linear edit with 3 & 4 running concurrently and 10 mins of 7 then part 8)

in case those strike your fancy 😉

Also, I’m looking for opinions on the crawl txt - how to word them better, and if anyone could come up with a better title than The Force Unbalanced for the 2nd of the CW trilogy.

SOLO will be available when the blu ray comes out - just to clear that up lol 😉 GO SEE IT IN THEATERS - it’s worth it!

 

The Original OP of this thread

9-film Saga…
 

I’m finally done all 9 films. THIS is Star Wars as it should be. No loose ends, no silly jarjarness, no “I taught so and so” when they didn’t etc etc… Everything is answered, no need to watch clone wars or rebels (even though YOU SHOULD lol)

George Lucas is a genius and visionary - he just needed someone to reign him in. Everything was filmed, every piece he need - he just put it together wrong. The only movie I couldn’t fix or save was The Clone Wars (it will always be junk but hopefully now it’s more entertaining and informative).

The only changes in the whole story I made were splicing two clone wars episodes into The Clone Wars movie (to answer WHO is Syfo Dias, who is Lord Taranus (we know but in the FILMS the characters don’t) and Order 66. I also changed how Yoda got to Degobah (I hated the clone wars episodes regarding this). Now he speaks with Qui Gon before Obi Wan arrives with Padme and the Droids and TELLS HIM to go to Degobah…then at the end of the film Yoda meets with Qui-Gon on Degobah and he leads him to the CAVE… Also changed Jar Jar language to hindi, added 90% of the deleted footage back into Ep II and removed the Endor Battle from ‘Jedi’.

Hopefully you all enjoy this - I’ve worked hard on the STORY of Star Wars (tightening it up). Also, I added proper SW crawls to all films.

Anyone who wants the links (they’re dvd quality not blu ray, best I can do unless I transferred the HUGE copies to someone’s HD directly), just PM me please.

May the schwartz be with you all!!

Episode I - The Phantom Menace 1hr 59mins
Episode II - Shroud of the Darkside 2hrs 2 mins
Episode II.5 - The Clone Wars 1hr 55mins
Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 2hrs 7 mins
Episode III.5 - Rogue One 2hrs
Episode IV - A New Hope 2hrs
Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back 2hrs
Episode VI - Return of the Jedi 2hrs 2 mins
Episode VIII - The Force Awakens 2hrs 3 mins

😉

One last thing, I regard these more as blueprints than fan edits. I believe the entire saga should re-edited and this is how I would do it. If I only I had access to the original footage…

If you enjoy these, I also made ‘fan edits’ of Superman II (best of Lester AND Donner versions), The Crow, Bram Stokers’ Dracula, The Pink Panther Strikes Again and Curse of the Pink Panther (combining Trail and Curse into one movie).

I consider my edits ‘blueprints’…not fan edits. They represent what could have been… 😉

Why what? lol

It’s not completely clear what this is, but the vague description alludes to it being a massive, enormous, and ambitious series of edits. But the details just suggest ‘no Jar Jar, some splicing of clone war episodes, new crawls, and DVD quality, but maybe just a blueprint’.

Either way, I think it belongs in the fan edit section.

Well, he also posted a random nonsensical something-or-other in the Twitter thread that got deleted, so picking the right place to post seems like it might not be his strong suit.

Plus I’m not so sure what’s vague about “completing work on all 9 Star wars films” with 9 individual links. Seems pretty clear doesn’t it? 9 fan edits - but like I said I call them blueprints as to hwo the series should be re-edited. Am I speaking chinese lol?

Is there anyway to close a topic like this when it’s in the wrong section? Thanks.

What individual links though? There are none in the OP and that’s probably the missing piece so that people can then checkout each edit to see what it actually involves.

Edit: Ignore my initial post above. Just re-read the OP and seen that you will PM links. Are these links to just the edit details though or the edits themselves? If the edits themselves, do you not have more in depth details as to what you actually did with each movie?

The vauge comments are probably due to the fact that we have no idea beyond short snippets of what you’ve done with these. I don’t think many are going to be willing to invest 20 hours into something we have no clue about…though I suppose some people did stick around for he entire extended Hobbit series…:p

Yeah, a general cut list and list of sources would be cool.

The edits themselves LOL it’s all good. If you’d like them pm me (unless you have - I’m on A LOT of pain meds lol).

Thanks again to those that have requested them - I appreciate ANYONE who takes the time to watch these. They’re meant to binge watche as HOPEFULLY each one now makes you WANT to put on the next one as opposed to forcing yourself to sit through the four prequels just to get to the REAL prequel R1.

There’s always room for improvement so feedback if welcomed. Sorry if I deleted your fav sceneby the way lol I had one couple tell me what I did to phantom menace’s story was PHENOMENAL and then another guy said that I cut out the best part of Clones so he didn’t like anything - constructive feedback there!@ LOL

I made these for my dad (who passed away before the last two GOOD ones came out). He loved these movies and watched them EVERY TIME they were on tv (even if just in the background while he was reading). Sometimes I’d be like “Empire AGAIN!?” LOL But god bless him he sat through them everytime - even the god awful prequels. So I made these so NO ONE wouldh ave to sit through long boring star war ever again. These are not PERFECT - hence why I call them blueprints over fan edits. I’d love to have the original materials to fix everything perfectly - but I did the best I could on an out of date laptop and free software.

I’ve seen these movies more than anyone who isn’t a megafan should lol and I’ve got them down to where I can watch them without anything really bothering me - that I can fix (some bad cropping in The Clones Wars here and there and SOMETIMES the words might not match the voices but hey what can you do, right?). I’m 95% happy with these versions.

So enjoy GOOD star wars and imo the way it should be seen. I will NEVER watch the original or SE editions ever again. You don’t even need to watch the Clone Wars tv show with my edits (thought you should). Hopefully once Rebels is all done I can make a film for them (I’d like to use the obi wan stuff)…

Anyways PM me - and enjoy my friend!

Yeah, a general cut list and list of sources would be cool.

I can’t even BEGIN to tell you what I cut I’m sorry. I GUTTED them of everything I hated, then reviewed all the deleted footage and put back what I could stand or what was needed for the overall story, etc etc. I created footage. added ,usic and dialogue and scene from the other films… It’s impossible to list. I edited pretty much EVERY scene in the entire saga. I actually LOST all my work a year ago and had to do evverything again by MEMORY. There’s added bonus at the end of the films here and there (moved vader’s breath from 1 to 3, added yub nub to jedi, put more star wars-ishmusic on rogues credits I think or FA - one has like a SONG at the end. Yuck!) and I added opening crawls to Clone Wars and Rogue One…

Just get the links, sit back and be blown away (hopefully).

It’s the STORY that I’ve concentrated on. The prequels should be ANAKIN’S story not co story with the emperor and padme and obi wan and the rise of the empire. etc etc… They all have parts and events HAPPEN but the focus is completely lost in the prequels. The originals are LUKE’S story so the preqs should be Ani’s. Both pre-sequels were hurt by the reaction of the one before. Phantom Menace bored the shit out of everyone so lucas removed the love story out of 2 and the entire saga falls apart there. If you don’t even believe for a SECOND that these two could fall in love (it’s hard even in mine but it works at least. The theatricals they fall in love in 2 seconds…) then you don’t CARE. If Anakin is a totally annoying kid in 1 - you don’t CARE. If he’s an annoying DICK in part 2, you don’t CARE. So when 3 rolls around, you DON’T CARE… Hopefully that’s what I brought back. He’s doing everything for his wife and child, he’s totally DUPED by the emperor (which hopefully you see that in my cut) and the biggest sin of ALL - I removed his killing younglings. I’ve said this many many times - all sympathy for him is LOST when he’s burning on the beach…cuz he’s just a filthy child murderer. How Lucus went from kiddie nonsense in TPM to child killing in ROTS is beyond me… the one who gets shot in front of Jimmy Smitts is enough. They show and/or mention it like 6 times!!! Ugh… That sh*t is all gone. Like who cares how he redeems himself at the end of Jedi - he;s a filthy child murderer… Anyways, there’s too much stuff to mention like I said before…

You should LOVE the prequels (cuz they’re EDIT: just as good as the originals and a better trilogy, when done right), they’re were DIAMONDS buried in the COAL we received. Lucas is a genius and shot everything he needed - it’s all there, just lost under gluttony and excess. The originals are shot the exact same way the prequels were - just thank god there was no cgi in 76 or we’d have never even gotten EMPIRE. 😉

LOL…oh my god. I used to be on a figure forum and when someone found a new fig or hot deal that’s ALL ayone ever said. LMAO - good throwback joke.

Can I post screen shots though? Is that OK in these forums cuz I know the actually inks are not allowed… Not sure WHAT exactly I could show with them but thanks for an answer if you can.

EDIT - found two things I still need to fix/forgot about (just to keep in mind in your critiques)

TPM - must redo boss nass hindi dub (to remove the pops in audio track change between qui-gon’s english and his hindi)

ANH - I don’t like the way I did the biggs scene…gotta redo that. My editing program doesn’t have the nice wipes lucas uses - just stiff ones.

ROTJ - when 3po and r2 are walking and 3po tells r2 about jabbas palace… originally r2 had a frightened sound (when he’s BEEN HERE BEFORE lol), I fixed this but forgot to remove the original audio so it’s muddled right there for a second). I changed r2s beep to a more (ha! ish beep, since he knows all about jabbas palace, etc, etc…)

thanks.

Trust me I KNOW how that sounds lol… I’ve honestly enjoyed sitting through them a more than the originals - in all this editing I’ve been doing. The originals are special but the preqs were written as a trilogy so they’re more choeisive(?) in that sense - and I’m talking about mine NOT the theatricals. NO NO NO way are THEY better than the ORIGINAL theatrical films.
Give mine a watch and then tell me the prequels didn’t have good(/great even?) movies in them somewhere… 😃

I already said both sets of films are shot the same way. Look at HOW LONG in takes the jawas to load up R2 or even in their moving car/van lol… All those droids get a shot - THANK GOD there’s no cgi then or they’d jave been even LONGER. There’s plenty of fluff in the original trilogy too. I personally feel they all play better at 2hrs instead of 2hrs 20 mins…

Jedi will always be my fav but I think I like TPM next, I find it (my version anyways) the most fun to watch. So much so that I extended the podrace. The podrace fails in the theatrical cuz you’ve sat through crap for so long that one long ass sequence is NOT what you want next. I feel my cut gets us there quicker and is more fun so why not make the race feel more like the way Lucas intended - a big old school race sequence. The theatrical pod race is a mess… In mine all the racers are identified and all have their moment in the race (be it big or small).

So when edited ‘properly’ - the prequels are fantastic. I hope with mine you simply just don;t hate anything anymore. I hopefully fixed or at least patched all the problems with the story. I want everyone to enjoy them and want to pop that next one in even if you have to work in the morning or go to school lol…

Someone watch these and report back so we can know if now the prequels are better than the originals.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone claim to have fixed all of the issues with the prequels! So, if you provide a cut-list and some screenshots I’ll sure as heck check this out!

I about died laughing at reading this this thread so far. Not out of derision, just the presentation and anticipating that OT.com welcome pending. I’m curious what you’ve done with the films, but the hype train is going too many miles per hour to stop and let us know.

LOL hell maybe everyone will think they’re sh*te 😃 I hope everyone enjoys them and yes I think I fixed everything (it’s too bad clone wars wasn’t a better movie though - I shoehorned alot of info into that one cuz I think some questions needed answers). I just rewatched TPM and found still some things I can fix - it’s never-ending but I’m still happy with these versions and I think may be truer to Lucas’ vision then he achieved (in regards to meddling). It was all there just too much cgi, too many wooden takes, bad dialogue - stuff that severley hindered both jake lloyd and hayden christiensen(?)'s performances. They’re both GREAT - he just speilberged it up with bad kiddie stuff (in TPM) and making Anakin a whiney douchebag in AOTC lol (“it’s all obi wan’s fault! blah blah whine whine…”). I don’t know why he made the choices he did - like that horrible dance number in JEDI. god is that awful! The original version where the rancor eats the green girl and she’s screaming while he’s crunching her was what made Jedi one of those dark 80’s family films that were so good… All the intensity is lost for (not even a MUPPET!?) dance number. At least give me a muppet not this cgi reject. I had Sy Snoodles and the Max Reebo band as a kid. I liked their song better lol But I digress just pm me and watch for yourself. You’ll thank me when you get to Jedi - or as I call it, “An evening without Ewoks”. 😉

And when I say they’re better…well look Jedi is my fav but is it ‘better’ than Empire? No. Are any of the other one’s REALLy better than empire no. But as a trilogy, they work better and I’ve enjoyed sitting through them alot more (repeatedly after having to check my edits time after time) than the originals. To sum it up best Anakin doesn’t make out with Padme and then we find out she’s his sister… That was HARD to cut of Empire but I sloppily (yeah I’ll admit it on that particular cut) did it LOL… BETTER is subjective anyways too isn’t?
