These clips might require some explaining. I want to show you guys a few examples of what I plan to do in this edit. This first clip happens right after the opening crawl. I ask that when you watch this, that you try to flip on your Star Wars virgin switch. These movies are so imprinted into our minds, that we know when things have been changed, and that can sometimes trick us into thinking it's a mistake. Watch the clip more than once and ask yourself... Would this be jarring for a Star Wars newbie? I'd like to know. Thanks.

So, now you may be wondering why I skipped all the interiors scenes on the Tantive IV. Well, I believe people watch these edits for two reasons. 1. They think the prequels suck. 2. They want to see what's been changed. We KNOW A New Hope so well that I wanted to change a few things around so that the material is somewhat fresh for old SW eyes. I hope I've achieved this. THIS next clip will further show you that I didn't actually get rid of the interior scenes of the Tantive IV. Normally you wouldn't see this style editing in a Star Wars movie, but with this style edit, I believe it grants me permission to do this. I like it anyway. What do you think? In the last clip you saw the droids leaving the escape pod, and the rest the shots progress as you know them to do, and then we get here...

Now I've skipped ahead to show you how I transition back to the present.

There you have it. I hope this gives you a clearer vision of what this will be like. I'm having a blast working on it now that I found a direction that is working for me. When I see a clip that begs posting, I'll do so.

Thanks to everyone who views these.
