I’ve been thinking about creating my own fan edits of the PT. Unlike other editors, I mostly want to keep the creative and narrative integrity, and I don’t want to do such things like dubbing the aliens with new a language and adding subtitles, like others have. The problem is that I don’t know where to start, what programs to use, and if it’s even possible to do absolutely everything on this list. Could someone please help me?
Across the Trilogy:
Use Adywan’s 20th Century Fox logo from The Empire Strikes Back: Revisited.
Change the starfields and planet exteriors to more high resolution versions.
Have them be in 4K HDR.
Keep the lossless Dolby Atmos mixes.
Re-rotoscope the lightsabers and have them omit and reflect light onto surfaces.
Change the lip movements of the Neimoidians to better match the words.
Redo the opening crawls with the ST fonts.
Redo the end credits so that the starfields are there throughout the entire thing.
The Phantom Menace:
Add a field of grain to the whole movie.
Remove some, but not all, of Jar Jar’s antics.
Remove the power cord lighting up the bulbs on Queen Amidala’s dress.
Fix the shots where Obi-Wan’s Padawan braid is on his left ear instead of his right.
Remove or reposition the inconsistent shadows in some shots.
Maybe cut some parts of the pod race so it doesn’t get too boring.
Use the trailer version of Padmé saying “Get to your ships!”
Lower Yoda’s voice a little.
Change the Mace Windu double near the end to actually be Samuel L. Jackson.
Attack of the Clones:
Change the the color of the fabric that Padmé is packing, as it changes from red to blue between shots.
I may or not add the scene with Anakin meeting Padmé’s family. The problem is that it’s too different in picture quality compared to the rest of the movie, and I don’t think there’s any way to make it work with the lossless Dolby Atmos track.
Revenge of the Sith:
Fix the continuity error of Padmé’s nightgown pearls being tangled in one shot.
Fix the shot where Palpatine has Anakin’s lightsaber handle, a holdover from a deleted scene.
When Anakin lands on Mustafar, add the black glove back to his right hand, as he puts his hood on.
Maybe replace Vader’s “Nooooo!” with the Russian version.
