Cutlist? Anything that could vaguely describe what’s in these edits?

Aren’t you that guy who said all faneditors are garbage people?

Garbage people lol? Like Oscar? It is possible though, the last time I posted it turned into a mess (and people were hatin just for hatin’s sake - much like nowadays with The Last Jedi). It’s the past, leave it there. If anyone was offended last time I apologize and (as Conrad Thompson would say) let’s move on.

I think everyone who is unhappy with the way Star Wars has gone needs to either watch edits like mine or other people’s or just make your own cuz Star Wars is dead so YOU (or I etc) need to fix it - NOT wait on Disney - cuz you’ll never be happy.

I’m a faneditor so that would make me garbage too lol I think most people GET fanediting wrong though - that I’ve said many times. Like with TPM, most people think just editing Jar Jar out will fix the movie. It doesn’t. I changed his dialogue to the Hindi track and gave him proper eng subs and removed his over the top slapstick crap. He’s a main character so editing him OUT doesn’t fix anything it just creates MORE problems…

I like how you refer to it as your canon. It really wraps in a nice bow.

It’s a self contained saga - no tv, books or comics. Everything you need to know should mostly be in here (hence why I created two more clone wars movies and a rebels movie). That’s why there’s 14 movies, at 2hrs - any longer and it’s too much. I changed a lot of stuff that would negate the continuity of the other properties though. Like in Clone Wars Season 6 - I HATED Yoda’s going to degobah and the priestess’ etc… In MY canon, Yoda is meditating in Ep III (before Obi Wan returns with Padme and the droids) and Qui Gon speaks to him and tells him to go Degobah (‘The answers you see seek, are here’). The CW Season 6 arc doesn’t make sense cuz in Empire R2 acts like he doesn’t know where they are or who Yoda is… It pisses me off lol so I made Qui Gon tell him to go there - makes more sense doesn’t it? So at the end between Leia baby and Luke baby he lands, Qui Gon greet’s him and takes him through Degobah (EXPLAINING force ghosts and medichlorians etc) and leaves him at the cave to face his fears. Then we go to Luke (who is the real hero of the next trilogy) and it ends as normal… We don’t NEED to see Yoda’s experience in the cave because we see it through Luke in Empire (hence why I cut the cave out of TLJ - nothing happens and we’ve seen it already in Empire).

Plus all the little touches that make it mine…

• I moved the Vader breathing at the end of TPM to ROTS
• I added a post credit sequence after Jedi of Snoke calling out to come find him deep in space
• I added Yub Nub to the Jedi end credits as a (now ruined) surprise
• Qui Gon appears at the end of Jedi with the others (I assume Anakin was powerful enough to help give him a form plus I just think he was thrown away after TPM and NEEDED to be there. Everything IS his fault after all lol)
• I added Qui Gon speaking with Vader in ROTJ. As Luke and Vader’s bond strengthens - and why I put back the opening cave scene - the Emperor’s hold on Vader weakens thus allowing Qui Gon to ‘communicate’ with ANAKIN. That cave scene is great because it really sums up WHAT the movie is all about - a father and son. Vader is trying to communicate to Luke across the galaxy. It shows how strong their bond is. I LOVE this scene, it should have never been removed. Lucas didn’t want to spoil the ‘surprise’ of Luke showing up, where as I say it WASN’T a surprise but a ‘it’s about damn time!’ moment lol This way you’re NOT just waiting for him to show up, you know he will so you can really enjoy the opening Jabba stuff instead of being impatient or thinking it’s slow or boring…
• I added a scene from all three preqs to the end of Jedi so we SEE what Anakin is thinking during the electrocution. I don’t believe Vader was just like 'don’t hurt my boy!, lol, Luke represents Padme and EVERYTHING that sack of sh*t in a robe beside him TOOK from him. I also added Quigon asking him ‘Do you believe you are the chosen one?’ and then yelling at him ‘Anakin’ ‘No…’ ‘ANAKIN!’ 'NOOOOOOO!'So it’s really more satisfying when he SPOILER tosses him over the railing.
• I added a Qui gon cameo in Empire (another ruined surprise lol). I took out Yoda’s saying ‘No there is another’ (cuz he acts like Obi Wan doesn’t know - when HE helped deliver the babies ffs) and added Qui Gon instead. OW: “That boy was our last hope…” QJ: “No…” Quigon’s belief in Anakin being the chosen one is the catalyst for everything. I love how even in Jedi, he STILL believes in Anakin. I also removed all the child killing in ROTS so we feel empathy for him when he burns on the beach (one of the most hard to watch scenes ever put in a mainstream family movie) and we can believe in his redemption. It was ok before the preqs cuz we didn’t know WHAT kind of bad things Vader had done but killing a room full of kids is just WAY too much. One of many, many bad decisions Lucas made with the prequels. Vader/Anakin: “Tell your sister you were right about me, except for that room full of toddlers, you were right…” Sorry, that doesn’t work for me lol 😉

just stuff like at all over the place… my own touches lol I reshaped and reconstructed enough so that it’s all here
in these movies. You don’t really need anything else, so I feel this is MY Star Wars and I hope others enjoy it. My cuts are blueprints as to how to fix things (in a perfect world) as opposed to fully polished fan edits. I did a bit of rescoring here and there and added my own crappy visual effects lol so it’s not always pretty - but it works. The STORY comes FIRST. That’s what MY canon is about - making the story connect all the movies in every way.

Aside from the rebels and 2 extra clone wars movies I edited all 10 films simultaneously so I never lost track of where I was, what I was doing and where i the saga I was and where IT had to be… I hope I stayed true to George’s vision and only made it better (I think he would be extremely happy at the end of Jedi).

I like to think Anakin is a different person in my cuts. You like him as a kid (and believe in him, cheering him on at the end), you understand and feel the frustration of ‘teen’ Anakin (you don’t hate the whiny, angry, stalker), believe in his and Padme’s love (their marriage really works better this way. God I love how Ep II ends) and really see and feel how he’s DUPED in ROTS (he doesn’t just decide "Ok, I think I will turn bad now’ and off with Mace’s hand).

The frankenstein ‘Noooooo’ scene in Ep III should mean something and NOT be something to laugh at. He just lost EVERYTHING - and Anakin’s main problem is - the same one his son faces in TLJ - he cannot let go. He can’t let go of his mom, can’t let go of Asohka, can’t let go of Padme - and finally that one, coupled with the baby pushes him over the edge… The best way put it is maybe that - the theatrical trilogies are one story of anakin and one of luke and I tried to make it all seem like anakin’s story. If that makes any sense, that’s the best way to put it…with a neat little bow on top 😉

You have a Solo edit? The Blu-Ray doesn’t come out until September?

Not until September. Hopefully the blu ray will have some cool deleted footage.

DigMod said:

What’s your sample size that called these “genious”? Are the film’s any different than your initial edits of them?

I feel this quote is summing up my response.

It’s not completely clear what this is, but the vague description alludes to it being a massive, enormous, and ambitious series of edits. But the details just suggest ‘no Jar Jar, some splicing of clone war episodes, new crawls, and DVD quality, but maybe just a blueprint’.

I’ll be honest here, I’m losing memory. I have a hard time accessing my brain so I can’t remember if the majority are different or the same. I believe I re-watched them all, took notes and tweaked audio/visual issues but nothing in the story… The biggest changes are the addition of the Rebels movie and two more Clone Wars movies (and eventually Solo). Solo sits on it’s own so it can wait till Sept - we’ve all seen it so we all know the answers to the later questions the OT made. I re-cut all the movies, re cut TCW movie with 2 eps of the show, made a rebels movie and 2 more CW movies out of the tv shows and that’s about it… I edited so much I’m not sure I can list everything but I re-edited and scored most of the deleted scenes and put them back in after gutting the prequels (my first cut of TPM was 1hr 20 mins and it was amazing - but too short) of everything I hated then building them back up. I made at least one cut or change in almost every scene in all the films…it’s a lot to catalogue, especially now. I can remember almost every cut if I had to do it all again but I also thought friday was saturday and couldn’t tell you today’s date if I tried 😦

You do know the date is displayed on your computer right? 😉

Are you open to feedback this go around?

DigMod said:

lol

What are the contents of each of these movies?

DigMod said:

Are you open to feedback this go around?

Yes, but judge THESE versions please lol IMO you have to go through it ALL upto The Last Jedi and then - take it all in.
I stick to my guns on that though because if you don’t go through the whole STORY - it’s not all clear. Once you’ve gone through it once with ALL the changes then (hopefully) you can/will bounce back and forth lol

Again, I’m not concerned with how things look because I didn’t get paid, this isn’t official - it’s just a what should/could have been… It’s impossible to ever be fully satisfied with a star wars edit because of the wipes. So I left that vanity behind and it’s all STORY. The Skywalker story. Father, then Son, then their Legacy. And it ALL connects. Enjoy or hate away lol My goal was just to LOVE these movies like I did and FEEL like I did when I was 8, and hopefully make others feel that way again…cuz the studio never will. They COULD and this is the point of my edits…but they won’t lol So head canon is the only canon now imo 😃

You can skip the Ewok movie if you don’t have kids lol but it’s a great family movie - I wish they’d originally been in widescreen.

two notes - TPM is a lil rough - the hindi audio track was crap an not my fault and nothing can be done - it WORKS though and that’s all that’s important to me. also the ending to The Wrong Jedi is only a placeholder until the final season of TCW airs.

Also TCW is a lil rough because I spliced two eps in, so the story lines don’t all resolve in the best of sync/order so
if anyone has any ideas on re-ordering etc… I’m all ears. Again, it works enough that you get the idea lol

Everything else I’m pretty happy with.

I tried to keep them at under 2hrs 5 mins but the rebels and resistance are a bit longer so if anyone can see anything else to be cut in the ones over 2hrs 5 mins lemme know pls

Plus if anyone can think of better phrasing or words for the crawls fel free to post that too. My memory loss has diminished my big words lol Thanks. Also, the only thing I couldn’t add was HOW Rex and his troops are still around in Rebels. I just had no way of putting it in so if anyone can think of a way, PLEASE do. It’s addressed in The Clone Wars movie (which I’ll be honest I was a bit burnt out on lol) so I just assume we/you can figure it out lol

I’m always changing them too - every time I watch them. I’m TIRED now though… like an example is in II - the I hate the sand scene lol Anakin says ‘and smooth’ and his mouth doesn’t move because I used a diff shot…now ONE DAY I will find out how to add his mouth speaking (hopefully), but there’s little things like that you know - this IS Star Wars though, so use that imagination we once had lol 😉

Fire away!

P.S. sorry if I double responded to anyone personally - the old grey matter just ain’t what she used to be 😉 Thanks.

EDIT

I found an ERROR in The Clone Wars - I cut off the subtitles…CRAP. I’ll fix it soon as I can. My bad.

Everything’s fixed with the new ROTS, etc added. Ewoks still needs work as the quality is just ok since I had to zoom in to make it 'widescreen (from a 4:3 source). It’s just a bonus anyways (but a good family films which I like ALOT). Thanks for your patience.

Still haven’t sorted the issue out with my streaming, my I finished up the left over edits on everything so I will upload them tomorrow and send you the links. They’ll just be for download unfortunately… Going for root canal now so yeah hopefully tomorrow I’ll have them all up. Finished Mandalorian 2 as well.

No the streaming links are down cuz google screwed me. You can still download them though. Try this link. I’ll get everything from Empire onwards uploaded to another site. Let me know if you can dl these ones. I fixed everything I had to so these should be final for now. Thanks!

Hmmm, a direct link to direct links…

It’s not against the rules if we only check one step down

Just pm me pls don’t post links that’s a no no here lol Just hit me up.

So, are these actually completed files? Could I get a link to them?
