my The Force Awakens style trailer for Harmy's Despecialized Edition

I had seen some trailers floating around that cut original trilogy content to the Force Awakens trailer. Thinking I could do better and following Harmy’s advice of do it yourself, I made my own using all footage from the Despecialized Edition. Let me know what you think! I think it turned out pretty nicely.

Beautiful mate - some impressive work and I really liked watching that.

If it catches on you may be asked a few hundred times how people can get hold of them - it may be worth putting a link into the video itself (at the end of the trailer maybe?) to Harmy’s facebook page, his youtube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXifjbxZDAM or his threads on here?

I would say that Alec Guinness’ ‘always’ line at the end of the trailer seems a little cut off or short? Could be my hearing though! 😉

Thanks, I’ll do that!

The “Always” line had a weird little squeak or something behind it right at the end of the line. I tried my best to minimize it (you can still kinda hear it if you really listen) while keeping the line intact. I considered trying to find a different line to end with, but there really wasn’t a better option!

This was very well done. The only things I would say is adjust some of the dialogue levels and maybe shorten Han Solo’s speech- it just seems to drag a little.

I mistakenly thought that the ‘always’ line carried a little - a bit like ‘alwa—yyy—sss’ but you’re 100% right. My memory vs reality! lol

It may be worth checking out these for ideas etc - Shahan’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN74bOubUug & MakeItDirty’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VdcMWWh3s0&feature=youtu.be - they seem to be quite popular and stir the emotions judging from comments.

That was great. 😃 I agree about “always”, it was a little short. Maybe too much Han but I loved the parallel to the TFA trailer, that was funny. It could’ve used more effect sounds, Falcon engines etc. still, nice job!

There’s this for TESB which I think is awesome as well, using Harmy footage and TFA style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFA-Oip1wF8

OMG imagine seeing this one on the big screen I would cry and pay a million bucks just to see this on the big screen.

By the way Han shot first.
