Okie Doke. Here’s a link to my opening of RotJ up to the point where Luke walks in through Jabba’s front door: //drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EleIyLvBBrk-D8zN9zy23NJhEeg6FMcs?usp=sharing
Hey I’ve actually been meaning to reach out to you on your page, JoyOfEditing, to say I’ve recently watched your vids and, truly, they’re a hoot to watch and I enjoyed them! Especially the ones related to the prequels. But then when I got to the ESB vids, I gotta say, while I respect the approach, to me that movie is like the Bible, lol, so don’t tamper with “Holy Scriptures” man! 😄 But seriously, you got great talent, love your humor, and between what you, Ady, and numerous other big names here are doing, it’s very inspiring for someone like me who’s uninitiated to serious editing (it’s just unfortunate I haven’t enough time these days to learn - but maybe some day!).
So back on topic for ROTJ:R, personally, I’m always up for reading and seeing what all ideas people would like to share about it, so share anything about it you wish here, Joy! I’m sure Ady won’t mind any extra potential ideas/concepts, especially if they’re video clips where we can actually see how it looks and feels. I am one who believes this movie needs as much of our ideas together as possible, and from there Ady will pick what he feels is the best and most appropriate option. Btw, I hope people don’t get me wrong, I still very much like ROTJ and it will always have a special place with me (and through the hard work of preservationists, we’ll still have the original), but if we look at this film objectively and compare it to the previous two films of the trilogy, at least imho, it isn’t quite on par (for various reasons), which is why, if Ady is wanting and willing, I’m a proponent for some bigger changes and not just VFX updates that ESB:R only needed.
Ugh, and of course “it’s late, I’m in for it as it is!” as it’s a work night for me. TGIF though! I’ll definitely be checking out the above clip as soon as I get the chance and let you know what I think, Joy!
