SOLO (A TRIMMED STORY) - FRENCH FANEDIT
Greetings to all of you,
I am a French Star Wars fan and recently started editing the film so hated by many I named it “Solo: a Star Wars Story”.
Unfortunately my editing will be in French (Quebec dubbing) it can only serve as a basis for those who would like to be inspired to create their own version. This project will be my very first FanEdit, I was inspired by several editors among you.
The following is a list of the changes made:
⁃ Colouring and increasing exposure to better match other Star Wars movies (especially to better see the scenes in the movie)
⁃ Addition of soundtracks composed by John Williams, from the original trilogy (especially the song Lapti Nek in Dryden's ship)
⁃ Many slight cuts of shots to improve the rhythm of the film.
⁃ Section of the text at the beginning that introduces the character of Han Solo dreaming of "travelling to the stars", we all know his true story no need to leave him.
⁃ Addition of a spatial shot at the beginning of Corellia's film with several Imperial Star Destroyers in orbit (Multimedios 3D VFX)
⁃ Purification of the introduction scene with the speeder, Han has some problems to start his speeder (stolen longer before the movie)
⁃ The "Solo" logo is cut off from the introduction
⁃ Cutting off some dialogues that are really useless to the narrative to give more clarity for the future of the characters in the film.
⁃ Some "humorous" moments have been removed to dramatize the characters' situation a little more.
⁃ Han Solo's character is more similar to that of the original trilogy.
⁃ Cut at the time the imperial officer chose Han's last name
⁃ Addition of the "Solo" logo from the teaser
⁃ Adding a deleted scene (Han Impérial Cadet) (cut dialog, sound effects and music only)
⁃ The smuggler gang infiltrates more discreetly during the Battle of Mimban
⁃ The passage where Han asks for Chewbacca's name on the shuttle platform has been cut off
⁃ The campfire scene was also ruled out for the simple reason that I prefer Han to get his blaster thanks to Lando during Kessel's escape
⁃ The humour in the film has been severely cut to avoid looking like a superhero movie
⁃ The passages of L3 have been largely excluded from the film, she is only present as the Falcon's co-pilot protocol droid and not Lando's "girlfriend".
⁃ The passage where Darth Maul activates his lightsaber has been cut off
⁃ Several transitions have been added
In short, a lot of change in perspective, I let you discover all the changes in the hope that you like them and surprise you pleasantly.
Be lenient for the quality of the film, I used a DVDRIP because the Blu Ray format was not supported by my editing software, as far as the lighting of the shots is concerned, I am not a professional calibrator.
I always get worried about disrupting continuity. I seem to get blamed for that a lot.
