I do not believe they will turn out to be siblings , nor do I believe they are going to be romantically involved , but I could be wrong .
I feel the same way about them being siblings, but if Luke can be Leia’s brother, might as well make Tarkin Rey’s grandpa.
I would just say “What?”, but I’d be repeating myself. What are talking about, 4throck? What’s confusing?
English isn’t your first language, is it?
I’ve got both one part (2:37) and two part (1:22 + 1:15) edits of The N00b Adventures I’m currently proofwatching. The split actually just so happens to be at the perfect place both narrative and editing-wise, as it’s just after a midpoint boss battle and covers up the one transition I just couldn’t pull off successfully. Based on my rewatch so far, I think it might work better in smaller chunks (no pun intended) of 10-15 minute episodes. It would still an upgrade from the original, with episodes being mostly around 5 minutes, but would stop between plotlines. This should make for about a dozen episodes. What do you guys think? I guess this series is a little too young for you? It’s not exactly high art, but it holds up.
Do you understand now, though?
It was briefly suggested in the video that inspired that thread. I recommend reposting those links there to keep things all in one place. It’d be nice if you could make a few more too. It’s an idea that has potential.
The battle starts too suddenly. Let the scene linger in silence everyone behind the shields for a moment.
What?
Yeah, well in that case, I don’t think a new thread was necessary.
Oh no, I perfectly understood what you meant. It’s just I think we could stick to one thread for all thing relating to rescoring Harry Potter. If this is a personal project you actually intend on making this, then yes, this warrants its own thread. If you’re just throwing out ideas to see what people think, it should just go in the other thread.
Should’ve posted this here. Anyway, I’m in a public place right now, but I’ll give it a listen when I get home.
Super easy, barely an inconvenience. Since, as with all Star Wars films, Lucas was mostly just making it up as he went along, he got so caught up in adding cool new stuff that he didn’t get around to any of the essential stuff until RotS.
That’s not to say the rest isn’t worth watching, just that you wouldn’t be lost without it, or at least the case for TPM, as the Machete order proves. However, as any 3-in-1 Prequel editor will tell you, you should start with the end duel with Darth Maul and Obi-Wan promising to train the boy. I mean, sure, it’s just as unnecessary as the rest, but it’s such an amazing scene and the ending is sorta relevant. I guess now that I think of it, there’s not much reason to include it, but it doesn’t really hurt.
As for AotC, there’s some bits you should probably include. Include the Obi and Ani meeting Padme in her apartment, Obi-Wan discovering the clones, Anakin and Padme spending “falling in love” on Naboo, the three getting captured, and the clones rescuing them. No need for the Dooku duel, since there’s one early on in RotS.
Oh wait. Now it’s just a 3-in-1 edit. Aw well. I spent too much time on this post to delete it. I’ll just try again.
What do you need that isn’t in RotS?
-Introduce Dooku
-Explain the Clone Wars
-Introduce Padme
If you go with a crawl, those first two are covered. You could argue Padme is introduced well enough in the film as is. Just patch everything up with flashbacks to the other two films and you should be good.
Since you’re back to working on it, maybe you should change the thread title back?
I think Outbound Flight makes an excellent point about how flat the Prequels look, although I’d say that mainly applies to Coruscant. I wonder if that was just Lucas’s way of creating contrast between the pristine AotC and the war-torn RotS. Right off the bat, the floors have more complex patterns in RotS, and lots of concept art showed war taking it’s toll on the Jedi.
do you mean “the original trilogy radical redux ideas thread”?
Oh I knew I had that coming right away, and was tempted to just get it out of the way by addressing in the first post. The reason behind is the other threads are The Prequel Radical Redux Thread and The Sequel Radical Redux Thread, so I just wanted to follow that format and leave out the word trilogy.
Keep it like it is. Is funny.
And now I have an excuse to do so.
This is the thread for posting any and all ideas pertaining to editing the Original Trilogy, although knowing Star Wars fans, it’ll probably be 90% about RotJ.
Even if Adywan isn’t Revisiting the Prequels, he can still contribute to conversations about how they should be edited…if he wants, that is.
As for a new thread, here it is.

Because Luke isn’t relevant to the plot of Rogue One, whereas Leia is.
Those scenes wouldn’t stand on their own.
I don’t get why you’re so obsessed integrating all of those scenes. Deleted scenes are deleted for a reason.
What’s this? A Prequel scene
with an actual setshot on location?
FTFY
Even though they made heavy use of bluescreens, the Prequels used plenty of sets. In fact, isn’t a bluescreen room technically a set, since it’s built indoors temporarily for the sole purpose making a film?
Btw, while I appreciate shooting on location, this one doesn’t feel Star Warsy enough. It looks to much like a real-world home. The holographic frames are a painfully bad attempt to remedy this.
Those scenes introduce Luke before he becomes relevant and are overall not a good use of the audience’s time. I’d rather have him go to the Tosche Station after his meal, skipping the bits with his other friends, although I’d have to check how the Binary Sunset scene would factor into this.
At this point, maybe we should rename this thread the Original Trilogy Radical Redux Thread.
Rogue One
Bland and uninteresting. Also irritating fan service and a way too epic final battle.
You know that’s strange because that’s exactly how I’d describe Solo, save for the “epic final battle” part. I loved Rogue One, but Solo is my least favorite because it’s a checklist of Han Solo getting things we know him for (and they still managed to leave out the vest, somehow) that ends up feeling soulless and forgettable, despite being a passion project of the screenwriters. The bland color palette (which RO is admittedly also guilty of) and bad lighting don’t help.
I will never understand how or why the copy-paste job that is TFA is so highly ranked.
I wonder if most of the people who liked TFA didn’t like TLJ and vice-versa. After all, everyone seems to agree about the narrative whiplash of the two being so radically different. And they’re not just different; they’re polar opposites. One’s derivative and predictable while the other goes out of its way to be unpredictable.
If you liked every movie but one and that one was still mostly okay, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t at least like [Solo] at a minimum.
Well I also at least enjoyed every movie until now, but couldn’t enjoy Solo.
I’m only restoring Luke talking to Biggs. I don’t think the other scenes are necessary, and frame-by-frame restoration is extremely time-consuming, so I’m sticking to the essentials. I’m only restoring this scene because I really, really wanted it in the film. It adds weight to their reunion on Yavin IV and Bigg’s death. It seems so strange to me that Lucas would add the reunion scene for the Special Edition, but not this one. One can’t work without the other.
