Just saw A New Hope, and oh my! This was Star Wars on speed! 😄
This was really high paced, with no place for a little breather for an old man like myself. Action, action, action! But indeed a fun watch. I especially liked the flashbacks and to see a clip of Han changing his mind about helping the rebels.
Amazed by the skills of the editor. Looking forward to watch the rest!
Thanks for the feedback! I was very happy with how Wakeupkeo was able to weave them all together so seamlessly for his A New Hope edit. I agree with you about the little additions Titmouse Animation made to the original films, like showing the moment of Han changing his mind or Luke & Han’s stunned reactions to Leia’s badassery–that bit gets a huge laugh from my classes every time.
Please let us know what you think of the next two. With ESB, Irishpunk was the luckiest of the editors because he had the most footage to work with. That edit, like the movie itself, tends to be the most popular with my students. However, I continue to be very impressed with how well Hal & Bailey managed to stick the landing with their RotJ edit. Not one of my students has noticed thus far that the animation styles for the space battles are completely different 😉
