"First Order, Last Jedi - A Star Wars Story" The first ever 3-in-1 Sequel Trilogy edit (Released) — Page 3

Can I have a link?

Nearly five years later, I’ve gone back and recreated the edit from scratch. My workflow has improved significantly, giving much higher visual fidelity including a version in upscaled 4k. I also began this time with 5.1 surround sound, improving the final audio as well as enabling much better transitions from scene to scene. The story hasn’t changed overall, but I made a few different choices from scene to or shot to shot that benefit plot clarity or character. The edit is now 5 minutes longer and truly never looked or sounded better!

This was great! Seeing the og3 early was indeed awesome - it bought more tension and hope. I had not seen the final installment Rise of Skywalker despite owning its trilogy on disc, and thought finding an all-in-one film would be perfect for what it is. Man, I really forgot chunks of TFA and TLJ. The second I saw Rose, I suddenly remembered all the grievances I’ve had with these blockbusters. Not seeing those grievances in your edit kept me in the movie. Kylo’s reveal was awesome. This edit is awesome. The ending/closing you made was brilliant, I had to do a bit of remembering and googling where I had seen it…hah! It’s from one of the movies, duh!
No wanting to escape on like-horseback from this edit, because this 3-in-1 edit is a jackpot. Thanks TP, looking forward to any projects you might be working on if so.

This is so fantastic to read! I feel really happy with the updated release of the edit. If you ever get around to watching Rise of Skywalker, I think you’ll be amazed at how different the official last chapter is from what my Franken-edit creates!

This film edit was amazing! I loved progression of the story soooo much more. I actually held off showing my 9-year-old daughter the sequel trilogy despite loving the individual characters because the theatrical The Rise of Skywalker plot was so “inconsistent” (best euphemism I can use here). After watching this edit for the first time, I actually watched it again with her and she loved it! Will definitely be on the lookout for any other projects you decide to consider!

Thanks so much for the feedback! This story is so wonderful to hear.

No offence, but it’s not ‘the first ever 3-in-1 Sequel Trilogy edit’. I watched a couple in 2020.

No offense taken. This edit was initially released in June of 2020, within a month or so of the Rise of Skywalker Blu-ray release. If you scroll to the beginning of this forum thread, you’ll see when I first announced it here at OT. I’m more involved in the Reddit and FanEdit.org communities these days, but I’m unaware of any 3 to 1 sequel trilogy edit that predates it. I did one major update about a year ago (mostly to update it with much better visual and audio quality), so for the most part it’s told the same story since release.
