If I were to edit the original, Leia being his sister in the first place would go bye bye because it’s some of the most incredibly sloppy writing in the series’s history.

It’s been six years since HAL wowed us when he used Boleyn footage to show Padme surviving.

Included a shot from the “Mock up” love scene, plus also a shot from my old Machete Cut, in which there is a lil blood when Anakin takes Dooku’s head.

This is what a more mature Star Wars could be like.

Which for some may like, as before ROTJ, Star Wars wasn’t cutesy yet.

This isn’t what the focus was, but I really like the image of Mace Windu confronting Palpatine by himself. It’s some good rotoscoping.
1). It looks cinematic, like an old western duel
2). It makes Mace seems cocky, as if he’s going to fight Palpatine without telling anyone else beforehand
3). It makes the other Jedi less of a joke when they are beaten by Palpatine’s very simple initial moves

I actually could get behind that idea, especially since Leiah being a Jedi amounted to nothing. The biggest thing i liked about it was simply Vader using it against Luke.

I actually would be interested to see Han die in Empire also. Maybe Leiah and him already hooked up, so Kylo could grow up with out a father. Leaving him open to Palpatines mentor-ship, as Luke would fill the father role. Adding a touch of the growing up with out a father struggle.

Muclunkey!

Thank you 😃 I think the original idea was something Ady had planned for the prequels but i only ever saw a still image for an example. I loved the idea so much tho that it became one of the first things i attempted to pull off. Also that if i could pull it off that i would go ahead and edit the rest. So im really happy to hear that it came out looking good and narratively fits the story and mood. Allowing Mace to be the “Bad @ss mother f*cker” he deserves. ( i like to imagine he carries a wallet for proof too ) I wish Mace had gotten more screen time, i always really liked him.

Muclunkey!

See that’s part of why I want this change: it’s a plot point that amounts to nothing. The other reason is that it’s universe shrinking to make every

The biggest thing i liked about it was simply Vader using it against Luke.

Which is apparently why it was added in the first place. When Yoda says there is another, it could just as easily be taken to mean Vader.

But I’m getting off topic. This would be better suited to the OT Radical Redux Thread.

It would give more tension to whether Leiah will choose Han or Luke by the end of Return of the Jedi. Keep Luke and Leia sneaking off on Endor but dont show why, then show Han questioning her about it, and getting upset that she could tell Luke some secret she wont tell him.

and back on topic- Aliens, Predators, Et aliens, and Engineers.

You know the idea of Palpatine personally going ham on the Temple while kinda silly is rather intriguing.

Anakin will be the one to wipe out the temple, but Palpatine will show up in secret for the children. Since he never orders Anakin to do it, but Anakin gets the blame from Obi to Padame. Adding to the lies of the Jedi from Anakins pov

Id enjoy seeing an R rated Star Wars. Itd be a pain with all the blood simulation but i think id be pretty cool. As a kid i always liked the blood in ANH and wondered why they did away with it in the other movies. Corridor crew did some small quick vids but they were more on the ridiculous side. I later understood that the wounds were being cauterized but still. I miss the bombastic squids used in the 80’s like in Robocop haha

You know, I actually had an idea for an R-rated Star Wars, complete with sex and nudity. It’d be doable with some actors’ other works and deepfaking.

However, we have to be honest, the SW community is extremely immature and conservative about sexual material, so it would be negatively received (in public) and get a lot of spiteful attempts to stop it.

Too bad, there’s enough source material out there to make it work…maybe I should take another crack at it.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G0OLUOwLSa35g6ytyyO9ZDmz0x_bLFYr/view Quick mock up. No nudity tho

Probably NSFW to click on.

Not bad, not bad at all.

I’ve had more than a few people say part of the problem with Anakin and Padme’s “tragic” love story is that there’s no passion. Lucas, being a bit of a manchild, was obviously really uncomfortable with love scenes in general (he’s said so in interviews that’s not a Star Wars thing) so the best we could have is Hayden reciting out lines like “I’M IN AGONY”.

For the story of a great hero brought down by his passion, we actually have to SEE the passion. Which is basically the problem of the prequels that many many others have already brought up: a lot of talking about things but not showing.

Yea i initially had the same knee jerk reaction, thinking nooo, no nudity lol but then i got thinking about what you were saying (You never expressed wanting nudity) and how to tastefully do it and find myself agreeing. Lucas does too much off screen including Obi and Anakins friendship (I wish we had seen more). A good way to look at it, would be to ask what Titanic would be with out the drawing scene and hand on the car window leaving a print. Iconic. Also, story hinges on seeing them hook up, not just kiss. The only nudity tho was the drawing, the car scene was all suggestive. So i tried to approach it from that sense and the parental guidelines. I mean, we see Iron Man hook up with a girl in the first Iron Man, just the music was more fun than romantic. Pepper even tosses her out like yesterdays trash, and this is Disney. ( I still can’t get past Tony wanting to bring back Prima Nocta, or Arnim Zola calling Widow Fräulein lol )

I still want to do some tweaking tho, fix the audio from Anakins mom and its timing, and try to use some scene of Natalie from No Strings Attached to work in with the scenes of Hayden.

Thank you! Ill try to have it finished up this weekend. I still have to do the scene of him walking into the room, so i have to size and sync the scene of Palpy walking. Ive been watching some new video’s also learning some new tricks that help with tracking, filling areas that had objects cut out, and other odd things like tracking a scene filmed in fish eye or wide angle (straight lines are no longer straight, and how to fix that temp to mod the scene before putting it back to fish eye). Plus just a busy work week but hopefully this weekend ill have that done. A few other things to do to.

(I chopped down Rogue One and ROS for the scenes Hal9000 is looking for to put in Vaders Tower. Though no timeline promised, wont be at least a week till i can work on it.)

Muclunkey!

Lol If you want to give it a try. I was thinking “Mister” Palpatine, but maybe “Mister Supreme Chancellor”? To match the movement of the mouth. Mister and Master are close.

We actually don’t see the kid’s mouth when he says “Master Skywalker” so he can pretty much say whatever we want.

You’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Am I making Carrie Fisher’s ghost proud?”
Well, are ya, punk?
