Here what i would say in the crawl.

Episode 6 Revenge of The Jedi

The Rebellion Needs Han Solo To Survive! Meanwhile Vader and The Empire Are Searching to the end of the galaxy for Luke Skywalker after he slipped thorough the Fingers Of Lord Vader.

2 Months After The Shocking betrayal at the hands of Lando Calrissian. Luke Skywalker has returned to his home planet of Tatooine and is Waiting for The arrival of the Millennium Falcon. Luke Skywalker and The Rebellion had just finished there preparations to rescue the charming Han Solo from
The Evil Gangster Jaba the Hutt…

I strongly disapprove on putting the blame on Lando for the Han’s capture. He was being held at metaphorical gunpoint and ordered to betray the Rebels.

My opinion on deleted scenes unless it pushes the overall story don’t put it in the movie.

I see them as events that canonically happened (unless they directly contradict other scenes) which the director decided weren’t needed from a storytelling perspective. Just like any other scene in the movie, a faneditor may chose to leave it out.

I can’t wait to see your progress on this edit! IMO, Return of the Jedi needs some major tweaks in order for it stand up to the other two movies in the trilogy, and by the looks of it your edit might make this film as good as it deserves to be!

FTFM

I’ve been thinking about how to give Obi-Wan a more important role while on Tatooine and I think I’m finally onto something, but I’m gonna need adivce on the specifics. So picture this: after recieving a holographic message from Naboo saying to contact the Naboo, Obi-Wan says it’s a trick, like in the movie. However, we then cut to Obi-Wan sitting in the ship’s control room thinking, with an audio flashback to something relevant someone said earlier in the movie. Also, we can totally replace Bibble with Dooku, or anybody else, for that matter, to change the context. Any ideas on how specifically to go about this?

Maybe you can rework the actual ST into a sequel to this, with Luke vanishing in his search for his sister. Though he doesn’t find her, he finds her daughter Rey. It’s an idea I toyed with for my own edits, but eventually decided it deviated to far from canon, not to mention it robs Rey of her powerful backstory of being not related to anyone famous. However, since this edit clearly doesn’t care for canon in the slightest, I’d say it would be a good idea for it.

Is that why every second post says “AotC is the only good SW movie.”?

Tbf, the Jedi robes do make sense as a way of blending in. Definitely not something to wear in a warzone though, something which Lucas overlooked when making RotS.

I’d love to see a Star Wars story, which doesn’t include or even reference any left wing or right wing agenda, make it just a good old “good vs evil” story

Isn’t that kind of a given?

Well I’m going to be doing frame by frame. Right now, I’m trying a combination of keyframes and chroma key for it. Some stationary shots will just be painted manually and rotoscoped.

Here’s a hi-rez screenshot because the gif is so compressed:

You know I really love how the lighting turned out.

Hey have you guys seen my fanedit thread’s recent update?

Seriously though, what are you doing, Kitty?

Trust me, having her speak only offscreen is not a good idea. It just comes off as really awkward.

Here’s something I started on. I’m trying to reinforce the red/blue color dichotomy, since the actual films are over the place with the color palette. Since Palps is a Sith, he should have red…things, whatever they are, not blue ones. Also, I’d kinda like to give Vader red eyes (something which has become rather fashionable recently, what with Rebels and RO) (they match his lightsaber!), but it’d be too much work.

Now if only Dooku didn’t look like he was in a PS2 game.

I’ve already made a similar shot of Dooku’s hologram on the ship, though I haven’t animated him. My problem is getting the Queen to say her Padme’s AotC lines onscreen. What are you doing with the Queen’s lines?

The fact that there was basically NOTHING to celebrate Star Wars’ 40th birthday is a bit sad.

For comparison, Doctor Who at 40 had been off the air for 14 years, save for one TV movie, yet it still got a whole documentary and an animated webcast to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Star Wars is more popular than Doctor Who, so you’d think it would’ve been a big deal. Then again, Star Trek Beyond’s marketing did not make a single mention of the franchise’s anniversary, so I guess studios think people don’t care about franchise anniversaries.

Anyway, I’d like to see archaeology in a Star Wars movie.

This reminds me of a story idea I posted in another thread some years ago.

Two Jedi archaeologists – a master and his newly appointed apprentice – are sent to serve as consultants on a remote backwater planet where the ruins of a long extinct civilization have been unearthed. Apparently, this civilization wiped itself millions of years ago after succumbing to some bizarre pandemic which caused them all to develop conflicting memories about themselves, their peers, and the history of their world, driving them to homicidal madness in the process.

As the archaeological team digs deeper and deeper into the ruins, they, too, begin to suffer from the madness which wiped out this lost civilization, recalling conflicting memories about themselves, their peers, and the universe around them.

Eventually, it is discovered that this plague of madness is caused by some bizarre orb buried at the heart of the ruins – an orb which serves as a window into the multiverse. Anyone who gets too close to the orb and its emanations gains the memories of their counterparts in other timelines, driving them insane in the process.

In the end, the Jedi master sacrifices himself by merging with the orb, defeating it in the process. His apprentice, who suffered prolonged exposure to the radiations of the orb, is left insane, unable to distinguish one reality from another, existing in multiple worlds at once.

I still want to see this movie made.

Sounds like a good idea, but maybe not for Star Wars. For some reason, having a multiverse in SW just feels wrong.

That reminds me of how RO was pitched as being so low budget they could reuse sets and props from TFA. Obviously, it didn’t turn out that way though.

This. He almost looks like an anime character (and we all know how bad that is).

Is anime hated 'round these parts?

…David Prowse in the ROTJ unmasking scene?

Sad thing is that actual has been filmed by fans, they’re just not allowed to release it. Ah well, maybe when he’s dead Lucasfilm’ll soften up about it.

The first thing that came to my mind was: wow. This is a fascinating project idea. One of the things that has frustrated me with Star Wars is the real-life time gaps between each trilogy. Lucas lost a lot of his vision and stamina when creating the prequels. The sequel trilogy suffers from lack of clear direction by Disney and Lucas leaving. I have been looking around for fan-edits that treat Star Wars as the multi-part epic that it deserves to be. Sadly, no one person has been able to edit all the movies. Your doing so allows for consistent vision and direction that has been lacking in the transitions from the PT to OT to ST.

Yeah, the ST feels kinda like a half-assed “But wait! There’s more!” happy ending override.

I’m more excited for this edit than I am for Episode IX

Tbf, Episode VIII felt really close-ended.

Snooker is now the Adywan of the Prequel triolgy.

There’s very little in common. Just about all of Adywan’s changes were technical. He didn’t really touch the story. Snooker is heavily reworking the story.

That’s besides the point, but I appreciate the thought.

Maybe when he’s old enough. It could help people who haven’t seen the PT yet recongize his ghost.

Rogues and Rebels sounds like a Dungeons and Dragons spinoff/knockoff.
