I know that it’s very early (and years away) to be talking about this now, but this goes out to Adywan.

I was reading in the links below about the changes you’ll be making for the PT:R and I was really impressed with the direction it’ll be going, but the changes that really stuck out to me were of creating new voice dubs and of reassembling the stories down to their basics.

Over the years I’ve been reading books from Joseph Campbell who was a major influence on Lucas in writing the story & characters for the OT and many of the themes of his works are present in ANH, ESB, and the ROTJ scenes involving Luke, Darth Vader, and the Emperor; these themes are an influence that I’ve always believed were heavily lacking in the Prequels and why on a script/writing level the films suffered.

If you get the chance over the years, I recommend taking a look into reading these books like “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” and “The Masks of God” for ideas in reassembling the stories for the PT:R as many of the themes/ideas from the OT that made it what it is today originated from these subjects and can do a lot of influence for reshaping the structure of the stories to what you’re trying to create.

I know it’ll be years from now before taking this into consideration, but hopefully this is something you can have filed away until the time comes.

That’s certainly a video! Which pulled a lot of their mistakes from things discovered in this forum (Luke’s “Ghost”).

ahhh…ok.i don´t know the shoe in the asteroid field…

Forget the shoe… what about that cockpit shot!

It just goes to show you how re-purposing the shots creates the jigsaw puzzle. Nice corkscrew move there of the falcon in action lol… But where does it go? I’m not opening this book someone else can.

Top tips:
is it the same length as any other shots with the start trimmed off.
does the shot minus the cockpit frame follow continuity of any other shot.
Read the shooting script for the scene
Check storyboards
look for music that has been cut (yes there is) 2 shots have become one.
Have fresh bandages after smashing your head against a wall

The cockpit shot is garbage in that video. Anyone with eyes can clearly see that isn’t the Falcon, but an asteroid. Nothing was reused there. That’s also NOT a shoe or a potato that they point to in the video.

adywan can you give an update on the han in carbonite?

He should be quite well protected. If he survived the freezing process, that is.

It’s the holiday season, I wouldn’t expect too many updates from Ady until next year.

Adywan can’t make alternate cuts for every whim. This is why he’s making a fan edit, and how YOU TOO can make a fan edit. 😉

But I’m not sure YOU TOO wants to make one!

Surely if you notice you forgot him you couldn’t have?

Don’t think this was ever mentioned, and this might be an unpopular suggestion as it has to do with ESB’s dialogue rather than visuals, but here goes. I always thought it was really odd that after he’s been rescued by Leia and Lando, moments after Vader reveals himself to be Luke’s father, Luke responds to Vader’s telepathic communication by saying, “Father?”

Wouldn’t the reveal be such a shock to him that he’d be in denial for at least a short while? Especially since a year later, in ROTJ, he’s still in disbelief when he asks Yoda if it’s true that Vader is his dad. That moment in ESB always just rang false to me. I feel like if he wordlessly acknowledged Vader calling to him and just have his first line in the scene be “Ben, why didn’t you tell me?,” that scene would work a lot more naturally and emotionally true.

But cutting dialogue from what is arguably the best movie of the OT is a touchy subject and I’d totally understand if Ady doesn’t want to go there.

He’s trying the title on for size. I’m not sure anyone has ever had a problem with that line.

The CinemaSins video for ESB actually reminded me of it, it points out that moment too.

Most of the complaints are made in jest but I feel like he’s making a fair point when he says Luke immediately went “right into the acceptance phase of that shocker.”

I’ve always thought that, through the force, Luke recognized the voice calling to him as his fathers. He looks and sounds startled and surprised. Then when Vader continues, Luke realizes who it is, causing his apparent sadness and feeling betrayed by Ben.
But I agree that it makes Yoda’s reveal in Jedi redundant. But Han and Leia confess love for each other in Empire, then in Jedi it’s like that didn’t happen. So maybe it’s another problem to fix in Jedi (the broken movie) instead of Empire (the best one)? I dunno.
It’s not really a big deal to me that Luke still wants confirmation from Ben and Yoda though. It could be Vader playin’ Head Games. And Luke can’t take it anymore.

Really looking forward to when this comes out Ady!
Keep up the great work, and if there is anyway I can help, (with any of the revisited projects) let me know!

Thinking the unthinkable indeed.
