Last February I published my 3-to-1 prequel edit “Kenobi - A Star Wars Story” on YouTube (link removed by moderator as per the site’s Fan Edit / Preservation Forum Rules and FAQ - Rule 4; a simple search for the title of the project on youtube should help find it…) and remarkably it was only blocked in 6 countries. Since then I’ve begun work on a sequel titled “Skywalker - A Star Wars Story” an edit that attempts to blend Luke’s story with highlights of Anakin’s story, and makes no attempt to hide Vader’s origin (as it is a sequel to Kenobi). While progress is being made, I do have an issue when it comes to cutting down the OT. With Kenobi there were plenty of prequel edits from which I could draw inspiration, but there are almost no Original trilogy edits condensing the story. So far I’ve seen “War of the Stars” Parts 1 and 2 and “Pulp Empire.” If anyone has any ideas for what I could do, or knows of any other edits I could watch that condense the OT, please reply below.

Edits so far (SPOILER ALERT):

Vader’s revival (severely trimmed) as a prologue.
A text block (similar to the intro of Kenobi) to fill in the blank between Kenobi and this. Being written.
Almost all scenes without Luke are removed (story told from Luke’s perspective).
Inclusion of the Tosche Deleted scenes (currently being restored by Sky Shazad on YouTube), intercut with Anakin and Qui-Gon at night.
Periodically cut to Vader and/or Anakin.
Very brief flashbacks during Ben’s House, specifically talking about Luke’s father.
Creation of a sort of “There has been an awakening,” scene on the Death Star after Ben’s house, followed by Anakin learning he’s free.
Han shoots Greedo before introducing himself to Luke and Ben.
Obi-Wan vs Vader replaced by heavily trimmed, color corrected, version of SC 38 Reimagined.
Death Star only damaged during assault (Same Death Star as RotJ).
Luke flies from Yavin to Dagobah as the Rebel fleet escapes.
Luke is told not to enter the cave by Yoda and enters while Yoda is asleep.
Vader reaches out to Luke via a RotJ Deleted scene.
The Bespin duel takes place inside the Dagobah cave.
Luke leaves Dagobah after finding out about his heritage. Obi-Wan tries to stop him.
Yoda, asleep says “Failed, I have…” and dies.
From Dagobah Luke returns to the Rebel fleet, who have just learned where the Empire is repairing the Death Star.
Vader periodically reaches out to Luke during RotJ.
Luke leaves the Ewok village without being noticed and talks to Obi-Wan about his sister. “Then our only hope is your twin sister.”
Minor dialogue changes; “Padme once felt as you do.” - “I’ve accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father,” “Anakin Skywalker was weak. I destroyed him!”
Flash to dark moments of Anakin when Luke goes to town on Vader.
Vader’s death to his funeral and his return as a ghost (Hayden) is turned into a montage over “Across the Stars.”
Ends before the celebration.
Ending of TLJ as an Epilogue.

This is gonna be quite the thing isn’t it?
