This is an edit I will be starting in the New Year. =) It is something that I am sure has to have been done before, but I can’t seem to find a reference to any particular edit. Either way, I’m sure my way of going about it will be at least partially different from any other edit. Most of you know that the Star Wars trilogy was originally planned as one movie (allegedly), so I, intrigued by “what if” scenarios, decided to edit the trilogy into one continuous narrative. It will begin more or less the same as Star Wars, but will move into Empire after our heroes escape the death star. The rebel base will now have been on Hoth from the beginning, and the Empire finds the base by tracking the Millennium Falcon. This leads into the battle of Hoth and the bulk of TESB and then ROTJ. There shouldn’t need to be much of any fancy editing to transition between ESB and ROTJ as it already has a fairly continuous narrative. Now, the death star will no longer be destroyed in Star Wars, but will carry on existence throughout the film, only to be destroyed at the end of ROTJ. This idea will be accomplished by eliminating the second death star storyline in Jedi as well as replacing some shots of the second death star with custom shots of the original death star done in after effects. The plan is for the edit to be somewhere between 2 hours and 2 1/2 hours in length.
