What’s your sample size that called these “genious”? Are the film’s any different than your initial edits of them?
I feel this quote is summing up my response.
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’.
I’ll be honest here, I’m losing memory. I have a hard time accessing my brain so I can’t remember if the majority are different or the same. I believe I re-watched them all, took notes and tweaked audio/visual issues but nothing in the story… The biggest changes are the addition of the Rebels movie and two more Clone Wars movies (and eventually Solo). Solo sits on it’s own so it can wait till Sept - we’ve all seen it so we all know the answers to the later questions the OT made. I re-cut all the movies, re cut TCW movie with 2 eps of the show, made a rebels movie and 2 more CW movies out of the tv shows and that’s about it… I edited so much I’m not sure I can list everything but I re-edited and scored most of the deleted scenes and put them back in after gutting the prequels (my first cut of TPM was 1hr 20 mins and it was amazing - but too short) of everything I hated then building them back up. I made at least one cut or change in almost every scene in all the films…it’s a lot to catalogue, especially now. I can remember almost every cut if I had to do it all again but I also thought friday was saturday and couldn’t tell you today’s date if I tried 😦
