Worst Edit Ideas — Page 6

*Slaps Ady HARD*

Don't give them any feckin' ideas

I'm actually going to talk to a friend of mine, who does film work and would probably have the proper equipment, if he would be interested in helping me write a George Lucas commentary for ANH. I might also try and stick Rick McCallum in there as well from time to time, just to say how amazing all of Lucas's ideas are.

If we do decide to go for it, expect a thread soliciting suggestions in the near future. :P

I can do a spot on GL.

Let's update the dialogue.

Vader: No, I am your father.

Luke: O RLY?

Vader: YA RLY.

Luke: PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!

vader would just pull out the photo of him and padme (maaaaybe of baby luke probably not) like in Lego Star Wars

Blimey, where are all the mock-up pics? ;) Just figured there would be more, is all. Bingo, what are those puppets in your last pic with Vader and Fett from? The one on the left looks extremely familiar!

Oh well, I only have a few to contribute and many have seen them before:

Gornssk!

May as well throw this old one in here as well:

And one joke line for now:

TARKIN: Surely he must be dead by now.
VADER: Don't underestimate the power of the Force. And don't call me Shirley.

...take out Artoo's beeping, and put in dialogue... 

I was seriously thinking about subtitling R2 and Chewie.

 We could dub Chewie, and he should talk like The Fonz.

I think he would sound better talking like Scooby-Doo.

 

No no no no, just simply dub Chewie with a voice sounding like Peter Mayhew and R2 with a voice like Kenny Baker's.  I think this could be a really funny edit but actually something that could be rather "good".  Hell, I believe on some of those "behind the scenes" docos like DELETED MAGIC and BUILDING EMPIRE, you hear Peter's voice (like the clip in ANH right after Ben leaves the DS1 lookout room - when Chewie is supposed to growl, you hear Peter Mayhew say "That man is out of his mind!"  whereupon Han/Harry says "You said it, Chewie.  Where did you dig up that old fossil?!")

If you do an edit with the idea that you can still follow it semi-seriously (like SNATCH WARS), it would be amusing without being annoying.  More MONTY PYTHONesque humor, less Will Farrel humor.

I would also try to match any R2 dubbing with the beeps (like after Luke leaves when he takes off R2's restraining bolt, C3P0 says "I don't think he likes you".  The beeps almost sound like he says "Do you?"  C3P0: "I don't like you either"  R2:"Oh")  You know, maybe you could dub him with a child with a high-pitched voice to match the tones of the beeps.

Luke's Photon Torpedo fertilizes the Death Star (really a giant techno egg) and it grows into an enormous robot baby which crawls around the universe looking for his daddy.

Or have it turn the Death Star into Mega Maid, which then begins to suck out all of Yavin 4's air.  That or it turns into the Space Baby from 2001, with Peter Cushing's face morphed onto the baby's face).  Darth Vader could be sent through the 2001 time portal, leading him on many great adventures.  And of course, this all happens AFTER the Death Star gets the shot off (ala the DS has a few more seconds on top of the STAR WARS: REVISITED edit) and blows up Yavin 4, leaving Han, Luke, Wedge and mysterious unknown Y-wing pilot as the only ones left of the rebellion.

When EMPIRE starts up, everything starts as normal like all good TV shows.  In fact, the EMPIRE beginning titles could offer some really hare brained explanations as to how Leia, R2, C3P0 and others escaped.

Hell, you could do a MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL with the opening scrolls, maybe even have someone reading it or reading a DIFFERENT scroll than the one rolling on screen.

And in regards to Alderaan, you can replace the planet explosion with something out of HARDWARE WARS, or something appropriately 70's Italian space cheese (paper mache planet on a string, blows up in spectacular normal speed, falls quickly down with smoke lingering in front of the space background).  Still keep most of the great FX, but randomly replace some shots with bad ones to throw the audience off - since it would bounce from competent to insanely bad and back again.  In fact, you could take the "Falcon escapes from 4 TIE fighters" scene and have every other scene replaced with shots from THIS ISLAND EARTH or the STARKILLER clips from THE GOONIES (or go straight to the source: MESSAGE FROM SPACE and WAR OF THE ROBOTS.  Hell, you could edit in some of the blonde wigged robots from WOTR into the detention block scene, to depict them fighting along side the stormtroopers).

Hell, what would it take to make an edit combining as many of the STAR WARS rip offs INTO STAR WARS to make one big mega epic that makes no sense whatsoever?  But what could be cooler than having Sonny Chiba, Harrison Ford, Vic Morrow, maybe even Robert Vaughn (from BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS) all in the same movie?

Dub in Steve Carrel's voice from The Office saying "that's what she said" via comlink during the Death Star raid in ANH, as if he is an unseen off-screen X-Wing pilot, or maybe he is at the rebel base or something.

Best...idea...ever.

Agreed.

Only if after the third or forth annoying time he does it he gets blown up in mid sentence.  You could have Red Leader constantly telling him: "Cut the chatter Red whatever number you want to give him", even modify the audio of Red Leader to make him sound angrier every time he says it (each word is louder and more pointed: CUT. THE. CHATTER.  Red 6"  "I Said: CUT THE CHATTER, RED 6).

For that matter, have some scenes (just some) where the radio chatter is insanely complicated, with audio conversations from other war movies playing overtop each other, making it near impossible to tell what anyone is saying.  Take things like the PEE WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE back-and-forth ("I know you are, but what am I?) and put it in the background chatter, among other conversations.  Remember, there are 33 fighters up there with 33 pilots.

What about maybe taking the Pink 5 audio and put some of it in the background radio chatter during the last battle sequence?

On a related idea, I have always wanted to edit this scene into The Empire Strikes Back, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5blbv4WFriM&feature=related

That thing cracks me up everytime.

EDIT: Just discovered this one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gQozw40Mso&feature=related it goes on for a little too long, but shorten it to only two times and add an audio clip of JEJ laughing and it would be another great addition to a worst edit version of Empire Strikes Back.

Good ones on the Vader dubbing.  Speaking of elevator music, what about having the BLUES BROTHERS elevator muzak in all elevator scenes throughout all 6 movies?

Or put police lights on top of all of the TIE fighters (with the siren sound from the above link)?

Here are a few other things:

On a less serious note, could we put some of these things on the guard rails above the shaft (in the Emperor's throne room in JEDI)?




Hmm, one could even shape them to vaguely look like Vader's helmet (like it was Vader's idea as a way to suck up to the Emperor).

I can see it now: "Man, that's far down!  Hey, young Skywalker, wanna take a look at my re-ac-TOR?  Heh, heh, heh.... hey, its that aluminum falcon thing.. HEY!  WHAT'S IT DOING?!  I JUST BUILT THAT!"

Last but not least:

we NEED this guy to be in JEDI:R:


Jack Wickelson



Queen Amifrodalla





If only...





or maybe we could change all of the Ewoks to hand puppets.. it couldn't be any WORSE..



you know, once you put the hair on him, it is strange just how much Putin looks like Palps..



I guess George Lucas can't sue you if you're in one of his movies (that's a JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK reference...)



I now have all the confidence in the world you will succeed in your mission (in other words, we're doomed)









The REAL head of the Jedi Council



Busey Wan Kenobi: wait a minute.. he's one of the GOOD GUYS?

You know, it's so much fun to tamper with perfectly good movies...

I thought I'd make the ROTJ duel a little more one-sided. You know, to show how awesome Luke is and all. Vader totally gets owned.

I say also include voice-clips of Macho Man Randy Savage:

-"We've picked up a new group of signals. Enemy fighters coming your way."

-"BONESAW IS READY!!!!!!!" or "YEAH YEAH YEAH! SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!"

Not sure what you mean by spoof lightsaber blades.

All I did was cut and paste footage basically.

Whatever, pink sabers?  Day-glo green sabers?  You messed with something, that can't be footage from an official release.

What's that?  Someone actually said this was OK and finalized it as the "definitive" version of Star Wars looking like that?!

I've found a page containing almost every single voice clip from Star Fox 64. Imagine what one could do with those and any Star Wars space battle!

StarFox-Online.com

do a barrel roll luke! stretch out with your feelings!

hairy_hen said: If you're going that route, you should also dub in the "voice" clips from the original SNES Star Fox, as well.

The perfect spot would be to dub Peppy's voice over Garindan's. :)

Ok. Some may view this as a "Best Edit Idea" depending on a certain point of view, but it could cause some trouble for the rebels later. This is my take on Luke getting fed up with the Ewoks' buffoonery.
