I’m sure I’ll keep making fanedits at some point in the future; I used to be a film editor, it’s in my blood forever. It’s just a time management issue.
There’s really only two or three things left to do on this edit, and I think for the single VFX shot I need, I might actually front up some money and hire someone to do it properly. I think this edit is probably my magnum opus and I want to be able to point to it and say “this is finished and I’m satisfied with it.”
You’re alive!
It’s good to see this thread again, even if the project is heading toward the end. I hope it is as good as you say it is.
I hope so too! I may have mentioned this previously, but, I showed my current version to a friend a while ago. His response was, “This is the best possible edit I can imagine anybody ever making for TLJ. But, I still don’t like TLJ.” I take that to mean that I accomplished my mission statement of polishing the intentions of the theatrical version to the point where they’re clear and comprehensible, personally.
The currently available workprint is pretty close to the final product, minus a few revisions.
