Help: looking for... Solo fan edits

Are there any good Solo fanedits around yet?

I have not seen much editor attention on this movie since it was released, besides color grading.

Honestly, I’ve been thinking about doing one recently.

I thought it was pretty good in theaters, but only saw it once. I watched again recently and I enjoyed it even more. It is just a fun ride, in my opinion.

I’ve been waiting to see if someone would make a nice LUT to use for a brighter color grade, but beyond that I just wanted to trim stuff here and there to cut about 15 minutes to get the runtime down to 2 hours in order to make it a bit “faster”, and “more intense”.

There were a fair few ideas and people interested in doing a Solo edit in the Solo fan edit ideas thread - though none seem to have been released as yet…

Which seems a little strange as there were a few good deleted scenes released for the blu ray, and a few people were highlighting their wish for a shorter film in there - or somewhat of a ‘faster’ and ‘more intense’ edit as RL stated above 😉

Am not sure… though I don’t recall kk650 having yet done a colour-corrected version for Solo either (I think he has done projects for the other SW films?)
 

A little patience goes a long way on this old-school Rebel base. If you are having issues finding what you are looking for, these will be of some help…

All of my computers are too outdated to make a quality edit from, or I would attempt one myself. I just don’t have the money to upgrade now.

I would love for an edit that trims the opening and has the Solo title card after the Imperial officer asks Han what his name is. It would go as follows:

Han: “I wanna be a pilot”

Officer: “And your name is?”

Han smirks

I made one that lasts 1h44 but it’s a French version… it’s up to you

I always get worried about disrupting continuity. I seem to get blamed for that a lot.

There’s a nice color grade that came out recently, on r/fanedits. I have seen it a few times, and it’s a big improvement.

kk650 has done a regrade of SOLO but i dont think it fixes the major problem with the film as far as color goes. the user or r/fanedits version looks really good, but im not sure it has been released yet.

I have a fan edit in mind that I’ll probably get to at some point that’ll probably pretty quick and easy. I actually like the look of the film, but I’ll probably still color correct it, as I tend to do that anyway.
