Lord Haseo. U should think about releasing ur edit publicly. I find I agree with you about many things concerning TFA.
Once I see the film again I’ll compile my full cut list for you guys and if anyone is interested based on that I’ll share it.
what main edits would u be making?
-
The Kylo Ren is the son of Han and Leia reveal is going to be a bit less obvious (I’m removing the line “You cannot deny the truth of your family” line but I will be keeping the line “I know where you come from, before you called yourself Kylo Ren”)
-
Add music from the OT and PT where I deem the film can benefit from it though a decent amount of the original score will be intact
-
Reducing the amount of awkwardness that surrounds Finn when he is around Rey
-
Removing obvious fan service (training ball droid, the board game in STAR WARS and even showing all of the aliens in Maz’s Castle)
-
Nerf Poe’s flying ability a bit (mainly the implausibility of the kill streak he goes when fighting on Takodana)
Possible ideas:
-
Adding film grain
-
Color correcting certain scenes (probably not going to do this though)
-
Make Starkiller Base a sun killing weapon that destroys Systems by proxy from freezing (this will be problematic to make work)
-
Changing the title of the film to Star Wars Episode VII: Awakening of The Force
As it pertains to minor things there are just mostly going to cuts to certain lines of dialogue but a couple of miscellaneous small things I’m going to do are:
- Removal the TIE Fighter exploding in the sand
- Make it so that when our heroes are spotted in Maz’s Castle the First Order spy sees them and reports that she found the droid and the Resistance droid does so a minute or two later
- Trimming the on foot chase when Finn and Rey are being perused by Storm Troopers.
- Trimming the Rathtar scene
- Removal of the weirder than fuck hug between Leia and Rey
- Trimming the interrogating in the interrogation scene between Rey and Kylo Ren
- Making Snoke’s hologram obviously a hologram
- Remove helicopter shot
…shit like that though I don’t have a full grasp on everything yet.
