It doesn’t look like anybody else wants to… Bingo Wings, are you there?

I mean…you could’ve made a new thread instead of bumping a 5-year-old one for a dead project, but okay. This was one of those things I started but was never able to finish that I kinda hoped everyone had just forgotten about.

You’re probably right. It’s just that I wanted to show my aproval of Bingo Wings’s idea. Oh well. Would you like me to start a new thread? I guess there wouldn’t be much point now.

I was just trying to retool this into a general thread for discussing editing the DWTVM.

While I agree the Empire should use minimal color, it just doesn’t make sense to wear white. Besides, it’s already been implemented in some weird way with the shoretroopers.

I like how you added the main theme to the escape from Grievous. It adds a sense of fun.

I went with the name Anakin instead of Ender (my usual name) to avoid confusion with Darth Ender, but have come to regret my decision. It won’t let me make a new account with the same email, so is there a way to change my username? Otherwise, I’ll have to change my email on this account to free up my real one for a new account.

Sounds like a rumor to me. In the ROTJ scripts Leia was always Luke’s sister.

I’m not gonna take any stance on whether or not it’s real (I can’t be bothered to read the scripts), but regardless, it’s a better idea than making Leia the other.

Are you still taking requests?, because I’m trying to integrate camouflaged stormtroopers in the Battle of Endor, as I feel they would know better than to dress in white for a fight in a forest.

This camouflaged stormtroopers idea made me think, and I realized:
Prepare for what fight?
I would assume they never imagined in their worst nightmare that they have to actually fight those creatures. It’s like no SAS or any elite force on earth would bother to use camouflage while “fighting” monkeys in the jungle, using flamethrowers and machine guns. It would be more like exterminating, not figthing.

One would think one small rebel group is no match for all of them with some AT-AT and AT-ST and speederbikes on their side.
And they were hidden as long they wanted to be hidden. Rebels never saw them. Everything went as expected, Rebels were easily captured.
No fighting.

But it was a trap. They knew Rebels were coming. Granted, they were supposed to let them deactivate the sheild, but that doesn’t mean they needed the Rebels alive. Just let them take the bunker, and on their way out, kill them.

Apparently, an earlier script of RotJ had Vader as the other. That would have been a perfect way to wrap things up.

I would disregard Leia as Luke’s sister – not because of twincest*, but because it’s universe-shrinking bullshit. Alas, too much of the post-ROTJ EU I accept as canon predicably runs with the revelation, so, as it is with the Death Star II, I accept it but only with much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

My thoughts exactly. Luckily, there’s not much acknowledgement of these in the stuff I follow, so I can generally disregard it.

Oh hai 10-year bump.

Is there something wrong with reviving old threads? It’s not like that much happens on this site anyways, so there’sa no danger of accumulating an overwhelming amount of replies.

If they had tried to pull it off as some big reveal a la ESB, I would’ve been rolling my eyes. They still managed to achieve this with Han’s death scene, though.

I think this twist is single-handedly the worst thing ever to come out of a saga film (even worse than the AotC romance). It’s so cringey that’s one of, if not the only major plot point I’m changing in my fan edits.

I guess I’ll have to give it a watch.

They revealed his lineage early on because they knew it was obvious. If they had kept building it up, it could’ve been disappointing.

I like the spin, as it reinforces that he’s on a whole other level. It never struck me as being silly.

I always thought the theatrical opening was fantastic, so I don’t like when people skip it, but it never occured to me to put it in the middle instead. That said, I think I still prefer it at the start. It kicks things off with a bang.

Anakin feels like a completely different character in every movie and TCW. The fact that his voice in TCW is completely different does him no favors in this department. If possible, I’d like to get a Matt Lanter soundalike to dub him over for. Plus, it would give me an opportunity to fix his more atrocious lines (mainly in AotC), or improve the good ones. Given the nature of your edit, I figured this would be something you could get behind.

While you’re here, what do you think of my edits?

I just wanted to know if there were any big changes that drastically affected the whole narrative, but okay then.

I put all that information in the video descriptions, but I guess I can copy paste them here.

Well it is over 50 changes, many of which are probably minor.

ROTS has one and only one good sequence: the one where everyone shuts up and all you hear is the music as Anakin and Padme get all weepy. That’s it. That’s all. The rest of ROTS takes the franchise out back, puts a bullet in its head, and leaves it for dead.

The scene I spent part of today intercutting with Palpatine’s Arrest, funny enough.

I posted this on its own simply because I didn’t know where else to put it, and to get maximum attention.
