I have to agree with Nev and say the first two ideas are the most interesting to me. I’m curious on your take on TLJ and what all you would cut to make the message less muddled.
I watched the movie on triple speed a while ago, and went through a transcript at the same time, crossing out dialogue. So I’ve got a script to work from when I finally get to this project haha.
Your idea of a retro Star Wars II edit is pretty interesting as well. The idea of edits that try to maintain the non-digital feel of that era is really interesting to me, and it’s something I’ve been wanting to try with a potential Return of the Jedi edit.
One thing I really want to to is create Lucas’ original idea for the ESB opening crawl - navy blue text across a Hoth snowscape. Thanks to Biomes, there’s finally a long enough shot to do it.
