It needs work but it’s on the right track. You get a different delivery every time you generate a line, and sometimes it’s best to spell it a little weirdly to get the pronunciation you want.
Painstakingly rotoscope Luke’s saber in RotJ to be blue again.
To make it easier to see, change Tattooine’s sky to green.
You joke but I did that with Pasaana unironically. Making the saber blue isn’t indefensible either.
I feel like I am living out of a suitcase.
Metaphorically speaking, that is.
It’s like don’t unpack, you may have to grab your bag and run any minute.
I take it you live in Eastern Europe?
My work put me on paid leave because I’m not meeting their expectations. I thought I was doing a really good job.
At least you’re getting paid.
You have a point. I guess it wouldn’t do much besides repackaging what’s already there.
The whole idea behind ending with quiet music is that it’s shocking because it’s different. I’m of the mind that the end music for the last entry in series should blow you away in some way or just generally itself apart, but I realize that sentiment is not universal.
I’m glad you enjoyed the experiment! It’s probably better with the ghosts anyway.
Honestly at this point just post the clip in the thread.
Make each “episode” a TV season made up of different movies (the PT, Andor, Kenobi, Solo, R1, etc.).
I was actually thinking for a few years now how you could weave together all the various spinoffs into a Tales from a Galaxy Far, Far Away anthology series.
You left the bombastic music in! I was saying you could just go straight from A New Home to a quieter end credits theme, sorta like I did here but without Binary Sunset. But whatever, it’s not my call to make how you make your edits.
I saw Spider-Man No Way Home last week. First time going to the theater alone. It was great how the audience was in the single digits, so everyone had the best seats in the house and no disturbances. The film itself was fun, if a little dumb.
That song’s start reminds me of Mass Destruction’s start.
TLJ - Poe Hug
One of the most iconic moments from Prisoner of Azkaban.
I love how the video is titled “Anakin iPad” but in the actual video it’s a Wii U.
Hahaha, that’s so good.
I think we should make a Google drive and just start uploading everyone’s clips until we can cut it together as a complete movie.
Absolutely. I thought about organising something, like divvying out scenes to people so there’s no double up, but I’m not the best person to organise that kind of thing.
Nah, doubles are fine cuz they give us more options. What will make one person burst out laughing might only get a minor chuckle or a look of confusion out of another, so it’s good to be able to mix and match.
Remind me sometime to make that version of Vader’s reconstruction scene with Weird Science I proposed a while back.
Personally, I think no comedy SW edit is complete without this.
You say that like the first two films were super serious.
And recognizes that he literally participated in making TFA. you can say his contributions weren’t meaningful but he was there.
I’m aware of George’s many Sequel Trilogy synopses.
I like the idea of Kylo speaking to child Anakin.
So basically have the same plot of finding Exegol run through the entire trilogy and Ach-To is somehow a stop on the way there?
I also wonder if you could hide potential AI dialogue by adding some kind of distortion or something to his masked voice throughout the film. Like, his mask is broken, so maybe his voice modulator is a little broken too. Could add a potential creepy factor to his voice. Some kind of effect that could be analogous to Vader’s breathing. Kylo doesn’t really have an equivalent.
Pull an “Up” and have it be high pitched lmao.
There’s a thread for that. You know the one.
I’ve been playing around with the ending for my personal edit, which is a Rey Nobody edit, and I think I’m onto something that could be useful to others:
Basically, I used footage from HAL’s version and the theatrical to eliminate the old lady and the “I’m Rey” business, so we can end on a more emotional note.
Damn, since when do we have such a high quality Ben ghost?
Honestly, I’d be kinda down to just skip the ghosts entirely if you skip the Rey Skywalker exchange. Just end it there quietly, no Binary Sunset music.

I know these lines would be useless for an edit, but just listen to how good this AI Grievous voice sounds. https://fakeyou.com/tts/result/TR:w31g8e0z0yfr8d5gny9r8ds5wtav7 https://fakeyou.com/tts/result/TR:m4hv24rbm167r1b3c8kapzmm5xb1a
The Russian accent is missing, but the vocal effects are on point.
I thought about the neat idea of having the initial prequel trilogy condensed into the first episode of a trilogy that has the Obi-Wan miniseries and Rogue One follow it
Then again, some may call me crazy
That’s a common suggestion. I don’t approve, but many others do. I agree with leftshoe18 here. Those films are kinda tangential, and they feel more closely tied to the OT then the PT.
I know I’ve seen some people suggest putting Dooku into TPM but has anybody tried putting Grievous into AOTC? I don’t think it would be too crazy to composite him into the meeting Obi-Wan eavesdrops on or something.
I remember years ago someone mocking up a hologram of Grievous in AotC, I think in place of Death Star. The concept was pretty lame, tbh, but the execution was good iirc, effects-wise. Really, if you’re gonna include him, it should probably be in the flesh metal. Heck, at that point I’d be down to include Ventress too, even if it’d be pointless in the context of the films. It’d just be nice to see the whole Seperatist gang together in live-action.
At that point you might as well make all the Empire’s ship blaster bolts red too, and the Rebels’ blaster bolts blue.
De-aging tech has come a long way. But that’s also why I said maybe starring different characters to get around that particular issue.
Finally time for the long-awaited Kit Fisto film!
Star Wars: A Holdo story. That character’s sacrifice really made me interested in seeing more of her backstory.
That’s never gonna happen given the character’s reception.
Also shouldn’t it be Holdo: A Star Wars story, not the other way around?
He wasn’t involved in Episode VII.
He absolutely was. The entire premise of the Sequels grew out of his initial outline in some capacity. Rey and Finn as characters date back to his involvement, as does Luke’s exile. He was personally present in early meetings and even approved some concept art. Was the finished product his vision? Not in the slightest, but that doesn’t change the fact that he was involved early on.
While I don’t dislike Spider-Man 3, it certainly is not all that great and is a real mess in terms of its story and plot. It feels too unfocused and there are too many subplots that are either unnecessary, or gets in the way.
Nah, the ridiculous clusterfuck of plot threads is what makes it so entertaining.
The majority of humor involving Emo Peter have been removed to come across as being serious.
Why must you suck all the fun out of this film?
But you do you. This edit doesn’t sound like it’s for me, and that’s okay.
What if all the Spider-Man films were in the same continuity? This is just a weird thought experiment so bear with me here. It’s not about making the best possible versions of these films but rather about making them all flow together as one series.
For simplicity sake, I will be referring to the films by the director’s name and a number, so for example TASM2 becomes Webb 2 and No Way Home becomes Watts 3. I hope that’s not confusing for anybody because personally I find it less confusing than using the official titles, not that those are confusing, just messy. Still not nearly as messy as Batman titles.
Obviously we have to start at the beginning, with the first half of Raimi 1. Peter gets bitten, does wrestling, Uncle Ben dies, yadda yadda, Spider-Man is born. MJ has black hair in this episode.
Next we jump way ahead to the Jon Watts films. The reason for this is twofold: the actors for Aunt May and Peter Parker look younger and more importantly Peter is still in high school. The faces aren’t too important since we’ll be deepfaking left and right.
Okay so Spidey fights Vulture and Mysterio, but without any Iron Man, Avengers, or SHIELD in the picture. Kinda becomes an issue if your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is being funded by a billionaire. Nick Fury shouldn’t be hard to remove, but Tony Stark will be a little harder. Oh and MJ doesn’t find out Peter is Spider-Man or kiss him at the end. Skip No Way Home for now.
This version of Flash is renamed and made a different character because there’s no way to convince anyone Tony Revolori is playing the same Flash as the other two guys. MJ is the same. Believe me, my instinct was to leave Michelle Jones as a separate character from Mary Jane Watson since they look and act completely different but honestly juggling Mary Jane and Gwen is already hard enough as is, and throwing a third girl to deal with who just vanishes is just too much. Plus Michelle is way better than Mary Jane so you can cut as much Mary Jane as possible to eliminate her irritating behavior and highlight Michelle’s loveableness. If you think passing off the two as the same character is confusing, just be thankful I didn’t try to pass of Ned as Harry before he lost some weight.
Now onto the Webb films. Peter and May look a little older and Peter’s just finishing high school. He fights the lizard, falls for Gwen Stacey, yadda yadda until Electro gets captured and Gwen leaves for London. Neither Gwen nor her father die. Peter and Gwen graduate, but we have an extra moment of Harry during the graduation looking at MJ breaking up with Flash taken from Raimi 1. Oh and Dr. Connors is never outed as the Lizard or incarcerated, so he just goes back to being a professor, leaving the morally dubious Oscorp for other more pleasant employment.
Finally we reach the Raimi films. Aunt May and Captain Stacy are visibly older and Mary Jane’s hair is ginger now. Green Goblin and Dr. Octopus do their thing pretty much unchanged. The we reach the Black Suit saga and boy do I have plans for this one. It starts off largely the same, with Harry wanting revenge on Spidey for god knows what reason (both the blood and death of Norman are dumb reasons) while Spidey also fights Sandman. In the end, he pummels Sandyboy with the Black Suit. (Raimi 3) After this Harry is fired from Oscorp and breaks out Electro to help get back in. This culminates in him becoming the second Green Goblin. (Webb 2) Meanwhile, Peter is now dating Gwen after things were getting too rough with MJ. He even takes her to the jazz club where MJ works at just to humiliate her. Spidey goes to church and removes the Black Suit. That’s where it latches onto Eddie Brock, whom Parker had gotten fired. Thus Venom is born. (Raimi 3) His first response? Walk in on his ex-girlfriend Gwen’s business meeting at a fancy restaurant and make a scene eating live lobsters. Her colleague takes him for an MRI but that doesn’t go so well and he goes home. (Venom 1) Meanwhile, good ol’ Gobby sweeps in to grab Gwen and flies off to a clocktower with her. Spider-Man chases them. They have a big fight and Gwen dies. Peter is very sad. Electro is also there but he doesn’t die. (Webb 2) No time to mourn, though! Venom’s kidnapped MJ and taken her to the top of a skyscraper. Sandman is nowhere to be found. Spidey of course rescues her with last minute help from the new Green Goblin making quit the moral 180. (Raimi 3) So that’s my mashup of Webb 2 and Raimi 3 feat. Venom 1, encompassing a whopping 4 villains.
Finally we reach No Way Home. A posthumous video has surfaced of Mysterio outing Peter Parker as Spider-Man. Peter goes to Dr. Strange in an attempt to erase this knowledge from the memory of the entire planet, but things go awry, resurrecting the first Green Goblin. Meanwhile octopi can swim so Dr. Octopus is AOK and decided he’s evil again now. He teams up with the Lizard (Dr. Connors had a second dose since we last saw him), Sandman, and Electro. Ned is there for some reason. Haven’t seen him in like 10 episodes but he’s here now. Him, Spidey, and MJ lure the villains to the Statue of Liberty (only one Spidey is present) to cure all the villains. Or something like that, idk. Peter finally reconciles with Sandman. They all live happily ever after except not really cuz memory wipes, setting up for Spider-Man 2: Eternal Punishment.
So there you have it. My bonkers mega-mashup of all 8 live-action theatrical Spider-Man films (with a touch of Venom). It’s nonsensical, will require a bajillion deepfakes, and probably worse than just watching the movies as they exist, but the point is it can (maybe) be done.
And for those you wondering about the episode counts I keep throwing out there, I split each movie into two one hour episodes, and taking away the first half of Webb 1 since we don’t need a second origin story that makes 15 episodes. The splits work really seamlessly with the Raimi films since they all have a part at the midpoint where the status quo changes and we get a montage to indicate the new status quo.
My favorite subtle nuances:
The comment section here has a good one.
Luke: He told me enough. He told me you killed him.
Vader: Aw, look at little Skywalker Jr… Gonna cry?
Reveal Rey’s father to be Chewbacca as her fur grows thicker from one film to the next.
I’d love to see a story that follows through with George’s Sequel plans of showing the Whills and microbiotic world. I’m so fascinated by the Force and the lore surrounding it. I know I’m in the minority though and in turn know it most likely will never happen.
I’ve definitely been hoping this happens eventually. I don’t need his versions of the Sequels proper, just all this Force deeplore.
Now we’ll never get the canon story of how Luke ended up after ROTJ.
Its like Bond just getting his license to kill and then we never get to see anymore movies.
That’s just patently false. We’ve had two different continuities exploring what happens after, and just because it wasn’t written by the original author doesn’t mean it’s not canon. Besides, Lucas never even wrote TESB or RotJ.
Before Grogu, I always thought it would be cool to see a really young Yoda set 700 years before The Phantom Menace. We watch his village attacked and his parents murdered right in front of him by a lightsaber wielding Sith, one of the very few remaining.
The Sith villain has visions of a great teacher who trains Jedi. This teacher is Yoda, and he just starts killing Yoda’s kind without knowing his identity. We see Yoda go through many emotions throughout the story.
An older recluse of his kind survives by not being in the village on the night of the attack. He teaches Yoda about the force, to seek out knowledge and to find the mysterious Jedi, he travels to many different places and he eventually finds them.
That reveals a bit too much about Yoda’s species.
I just had the best weekend! Four days of making Pokémon and Harry Potter board games in GIMP, watching Spider-Man, and playing Persona! That probably sounds lame to some people but I’m just really happy to be buzzing with activity again for once, even if it is by myself.
I had everything in place on Friday to finish my recent playthrough of my old favorite Sayonara Wild Hearts on Friday on train home from school in the dark (adds to the mood compared to playing in broad daylight) aaaaaaaand my switch was out of power. That’s what I get for not charging overnight and not brining a charger with me.
