So, Ash, it sounds like you’re essentially saying this is a “Good-bad” movie, one enjoyable for being balls-to-the-wall bad.
What say you to the idea that trying to hold 9 alongside 7 and 8 makes them make no sense? In other words, must one divest themselves of investment in this particular story to then be able to enjoy the ‘fuck it’ approach?
So I’ve seen your Homer response already (LMAO) to editing the movie but I did have an idea I was thinking of creating a thread for in the fan edit area, if not for myself (as the Disney Trilogy might as well never have happened for me to continue enjoying the original saga) then for those that didn’t like TLJ and find it hard to reconcile the DT as a result with JJ’s two separate entries. I thought instead though just to post the idea here to see what you thought and leave for someone else to take on board if they think it has merit.
Basically I wondered if it would be worthwhile to edit both TFA and TROS into one single movie or maybe two or three new fan edit movies (together without any editing their runtimes total 277min which could become three 1.5hr movies if all the footage were to be used) or any other split up you could imagine, maybe even including TLJ in a super edit much like some people have edited the entire PT into one movie. But the original basic idea was to mix TFA and TROS together to make a single much more cohesive narrative that could be viewed in a standalone sense much like RO and Solo are.
Anyway, take it or leave it. It’s of no consequence to me but thought some others might see merit and use in it 😃
