Hi, I’m looking for help and resources for my Episode I edit called Star Wars Episode I: The Beginning. I do have some rough ideas for what could be changed and what needs added:

-Opening droid fight removed
-Jar Jar, Otha Gunga, and Underwater Chase removed
-Theed Invasion moved to later
-Need some new visual shots
-New Dialogue needed
-Plan to Restore some deleted scenes
-Darth Sidious and Darth Maul balcony scene moved to later with new dialogue
-Darth Maul is introduced on Tatooine
-Anakin is no longer a slave but more of an employee to Watto
-No Slave talk
-No Gungan battle (Only Anakin in Space, Duel of the Fates and Padme Vs Trade Federation)
-Movie ends with the Funeral of Qui Gon with the shot of Palpatine and new music (saving funeral music for Episode III)

Please send help or PM me.

As a starting point, I use DaVinci Resolve. It’s a great editing program that is used by professionals. Plus, it’s free.

If you’re having trouble with getting the prequels, there are plenty of fan editors here who have made preservations of the movies. I’m currently using Schormann’s HDTV preservations for my fan edits, so if you want a recommendation, I’d give Schormann13 a PM.

Keep in mind, though, that the best route is to own the prequels on blu-ray and get transfers from the official releases, usually by pulling out a blu-ray drive and ripping the movies. However, I know how inconvenient that is. I only managed to get a blu-ray drive because it was my birthday. But it is the most legal option to go for. Plus, it makes it easier to get accepted into fanedit.org, which scores a few brownie points. If you have money you’re willing to spend, it’s worth it.

I have altered Lucas’ visions. Pray I don’t alter them any further.

Whoops, my bad. It’s Schorman13. I keep forgetting that it’s one n, not two.
