Worst Edit Ideas — Page 74

In the cave scene of TROS, when the flashlight gag happens, replace Poe’s flashlight with an actual lightsaber to eliminate the gag. The flashlight remains a lightsaber throughout the tunnel sequence, but it is never commented on.

On Kijimi, when Finn and Poe argue and Finn leaves to find Rey, show Finn taking that same lightsaber from Poe as he gives Poe the binoculars. In the hallway scene where Finn dramatically looks around, have him ignite the saber. The saber remains ignited as he runs toward Rey and calls her name, but when she pushes him back she also force-pulls the saber into her hand.

On Ach-To, cut everything about Leia and her training. When Rey “takes both sabers to Exegol,” it’s the Skywalker saber and the Finn/Poe saber.

YES. And through editing, imply he only appears as Snoke to Kylo Ren.

Kylo’s mask is actual an AR headset.

Gorgeous.

My stance on revising fan edits.

Use the Adam Driver voice AI to record new Kylo lines to dub in whenever his mouth isn’t onscreen, saying things like “Huh? Who’s this guy? Sounds like Snoke. Oh, there’s Snoke, now my helmet is back on. You guys don’t see this?”

When he reforges the helmet in TROS, do similar editing and AI voice dubbing to imply he now sees everyone at the FO meeting table as Snokes.

Edit the celebration at the end of the movie so Finn and Poe aren’t excited about seeing each other, they’re both excited about seeing the Finn/Poe Saber.

Instead of giving Rey only Leia’s saber, Luke gives her the entire Jedi Council’s lightsabers. She immediately attaches them all together like whiteboard markers and starts twirling the resulting mess of a staff while singing Duel of the Fates to herself as Luke watches on awkwardly with the look of someone who is just so tired.

It would be so easy to cut together “You’ll take a thousand sabers to Exegol” from dialogue already in that scene.

In either Rogue One or A New Hope, have a character shoehorn in a monologue about a doughnut-shaped prototype for the Death Star 1:

No relationship to the droid control ships from TPM?

That’s… probably a better idea.

Okay, revising what I said, TPM entails destroying the doughnut ship before it destroys Naboo, mirroring the climactic battle in ANH… because it’s like poetry; it all rhymes…

The link to a video of a donut shaped Death Star that looks nothing like the droid control ship is what threw me off.

ALLOL? What does that mean?

Hal has finally lost his mind after thinking about TROS for such an extended duration.

It kind of looks like it.

Now I’m picturing Rey putting 500 sabers behind her back, Ben pulling them out one after the other like a magician pulling a string of handkerchiefs, as Palpatine and the Knights of Ren watch patiently.

Or maybe “1000 lightsabers to Exogol” is metaphysical. When the force ghosts appear in jonh’s edit of the final battle, have all of them ignite ghostly lightsabers. Then use edited Attack of the Clones footage to have ghostly Jedi appear and light up their lightsabers throughout the grand stands of Palpatine’s arena.

At the end of ANH, when Darth Vader is sent flying out in space on account of Han Solo, have Vader say “I’LL GET YOU NEXT TIME, LUKE! NEXT TIME!!!”

I have altered Lucas’ visions. Pray I don’t alter them any further.

Ironically that would fit with the original script of Star Wars.

I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.

Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

In ROTS, when Obi-Wan is telling Anakin about the assignment to spy on the Chancellor, he says, “We are at war, Anakin… a star war.”
