A part of me is still hoping that they might be saving them for Disney+, but I’m holding at straws.

I guess I’ll be fanediting this movie in the ‘Script Writing and Rewriting’ section then.

I’m with you too. It’s just impossible to work with what we have. I’ve already started work on a modified version of Trevorrow’s “Duel of the Fates” draft, and I’ll be sharing that here soon.

Ugh, this movie finds new ways to piss me off every day.

I · II · III · IV · V · VI · VII · VIII · IX
This is the way.

I look forward to it!

It seems our paths are similar. After hearing the discussion about Duel of the Fates, I almost couldn’t help but start writing a script in my head. I haven’t ever committed to writing a whole new script for something, but maybe this is the one that happens.

At this point it’s painfully obvious that Disney is trying to save face but inevitably it’s going to backfire on them Big Time, Hopefully with the shitty security at Lucas-film/BadRobot someone will leak the entire thing, original cut, deleted scenes, scripts, everything, ala Duel Of The Fates.

I recall that the commentary for TFA wasn’t released until the 3D copy came out, right? So it is possible a commentary could come later.

I’m still curious if there really will be no deleted scenes, but honestly it would be nice to just extend the film some more, the TFA deleted scenes didn’t really add much of anything at all. The biggest thing might be the brief conversation between Kor Sella and Leia. It definitely helps flesh out the political situation slightly, but it didn’t make or break the film. I have a feeling that even if we got deleted scenes for TROS, they probably wouldn’t have added as much to whatever we hoped they would.

It’s funny that you guys are talking about rewrites. I had been thinking the same thing, especially the other day when we were talking about Kylo’s redemption arc in one of the discussion threads.

Perhaps it’s not so much that the scenes would have significantly improved the film, but more the apparent lack of effort on Disney’s part that has everyone so bitter.

As far as script rewrites, I really liked the discussion about Kylo turning in the first act and think that would be just a whole lot of fun.

I think so too! I think Kylo interacting with different characters would pretty fun to write. Maybe I’ll start a general rewrite discussion thread over there so people can bounce ideas around for the film.

What about re-write threads for the other Star Wars movies?

The unfortunate reality of the Star Wars prequel and Disney trilogies is that they will always be around. Forever. They will never go away. It can never be undone.

I also prefer to be referred to as “TNT”, not “Freezing”.

There are already plenty of rewrite threads for the prequels, sequels, and ROTJ. And since SW77 and ESB are considered basically perfect, we don’t need rewrite threads for those movies.

Well, I’m glad I didn’t get my hopes up (it just sort of seems fitting that this film would continue to disappoint).

I did have this sort of feeling from the start. I think the issue is every deleted scene falls under one of two categories - either they are scenes that don’t work with the final edit (like the Mustafar stuff considering changes to the crawl/structure), or they’re just little moments here and there in preexisting scenes (they’ve never really included any “extended” scenes before).

Thankfully my ideas for editing the film weren’t dependent on deleted scenes (though I certainly would have appreciated them).

Same. I obviously think extra scenes would’ve been a great addition, but I think the things that I personally feel need to be addressed weren’t things that deleted scenes would have solved.

The truth is as well that a lot of the pacing problems are down editing within scenes. Additional scenes could have helped the overall shape of the film to not feel as rushed, but, like I said, they never really release extended scenes so this would have remained an issue regardless.

As someone who dismissed the theatrical cut as an incomplete film and wanted to wait till the deleted scenes to get the real film, I’m sorely disappointed.

Is legally possible to crowdfund some kind of animated version of Duel of Fates, at this point?

No deleted scenes ticks me off so much…

Yeah, not worth it. It would be an insane amount of work. Also, Disney would probably get it shut down before it gets started, or file a lawsuit against the creators.

If we are innovative we won’t need Disney’s deleted scenes to successfully fanedit TROS. My aim is to make an edit coming in at 2 hrs or more that fixes many many things, especially the pacing, the bad crawl, Rey’s backstory, too many reversals, no suspense. On that note does anyone have an Abobe template set up to do a legit redo of the crawl? I’m looking for a template that looks just like the REAL crawl with the text stretching across the ENTIRE screen, not the one that everyone uses from online that looks decent but not the same.

heil Palpatine!

I really like the duel on the Death Star, but was I was a little dissapointed bc of a promo that played a variation of Duel of the Fates during that scene, also John Williams said that he took themes from all the other movies, which he did, but not that one. I think it matched very well. Maybe it could be an improvement to add that theme during the fight.

Was the track “The Last Saber Duel” used at all during that battle? I assume it was meant for that scene? I think it would be interesting to take snippets from Duel of the Fates, Battle of the Heroes, and The Last Saber Duel. I think a combination of those tracks would be fun to hear.
