UPDATE: This project is complete. Thanks to Wakeupkeo, irishpunk, and Hal9000 for their excellent work!
Hi there, I’m an ESL teacher and I’ve been using various fan edits of Star Wars stuff for years now in combination with various ESL readers I’ve put together. I found a fan edit of the Galaxy of Adventures shorts for Empire Strikes Back made by irishpunk that I made English subtitles for. I found it was very helpful in my classes. A little while ago, the excellent fan editor Wakeupkeo combined the Galaxy of Adventures shorts for A New Hope for me, which has also gone over great with my students. These little hyperspeed-fast versions of the original trilogy are really effective at getting students excited and engaged in material that pop culture has since copied, recylced, and regurgitated endlessly for decades now.
Unfortunately, Wakeupkeo is currently unavailable to finish the Galaxy of Adventure OT trilogy at the moment and I have neither the editing software nor skills to do it myself. I have all the shorts downloaded with English subtitles ready to go, I just need someone who can combine them all together for me into one short film with the narration removed.
The big problem is that, unlike A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, the Galaxy of Adventures shorts never included the ending of Return of the Jedi. It ends with Luke and Vader fighting in front of the Emperor. There’s also nothing with Lando and the Rebel fleet fighting in space. However, as this project is only meant to supplement the original films and reading materials the students will be doing, this isn’t really a deal breaker for me. I’m okay with the end transitioning into a recap of the Jedi vs. Sith battle as the final Galaxy of Adventures short did.
If anyone is willing to help me out, my students and I would be very appreciative. Please contact me through PM if you’d like me to send you the link to all the video shorts and readers I’ve compiled for this. Thanks for your time.
