I think what you may be unaware of TDS is that everyone starts out with ideas, but it’s important to measure those against practicality. As a rule, it’s found that most of the work gets done here by people deciding ‘I’m going to do that myself’ rather than ‘Can someone else make this idea work?’ There are lots of free programs, and free teaching, that people use to realise their ideas, and they are accessible to people without any experience - the vast majority of us here are not professionals and had no or minimal experience in any of the fan editing disciplines before embarking on our projects. Similarly, at this point, the vast majority of ideas that can be had about especially the earlier movies have been had already, and more radical ones (like replace a character) are still outwith practicality. I’d recommend reading through the ideas threads, and the threads for the most successful projects, to see what the process looks like, and help refine your vision, and then consider picking up one of the tools required to realise it.
When I came up with this thread (too scared to look). The ethos was to think outside the confines of what is obviously doable (though by no means easy) such as trims and adding deleted content and come up with ideas that really shake the prequels up and make them closer to the sort of films a viewer from 1983 would have anticipated.
There are some really great ideas in these many pages. Some that would have been very close to impossible when the thread began are now possibly doable thanks to AI voices and deep fake technology married with the ancient arts of model making and acting. This thread has always been and hopefully shall remain a place were imagination and ideas are more prominent than solutions (though both are encouraged). It is nice to see it still going.
