I don’t really know why you would want to make this, it would just turn Star Wars into some weird tumblr fanfiction shit.

OP is clearly making this because they’re interested in making it what you consider “weird Tumblr fanfiction shit.” That you don’t share that interest doesn’t make OP’s interest or goal invalid – Star Wars is different things to different people.

Now, OP:

  • I’m not familiar enough with Undertale to know the original context of the music, but the track you use for Anakin’s surgery feels a little tonally off – it’s more “jaunty walk through RPGville” than “a villain is born”. (Maybe that’s what you’re going for?)
  • Similarly, maybe you could try to cut the footage to match the rhythm of the music more – I think Undertale’s retro aesthetic would probably lend itself to fast, choppy cuts that you won’t really find in Star Wars. (Try fading out the music a little more gracefully, too.)
  • The video you posted is cropped – maybe it’s a limitation of the software you’re using, and I can’t speak for others, but when I think Star Wars, I think that lovely widescreen that really shows off that beautifully designed world. (Of course, I cropped for my own episodic edit, too.)
  • I’m really interested in your “Luke as a trans girl” angle – how are you planning to pull that off?

Anyway, keep it up, and don’t let someone like Smithers here dissuade you from playing with Star Wars. 😃
