Anakin Starkiller

It was a few years ago they changed it. Not sure why, tbh.

Wow, you’d really like my Sequel edits, by the sound of that.

I just played Settlers of Catan and for the entire 2-3 hour game, I was able to build exactly one road. That’s it.

Add “Turn off the flash you fucking moron” right before the crawl in every movie (or just TFA, if you wanna be authentic).

Rise of Skywalker is a remake of Return of the Jedi and Dark Empire.

Strongly disagree. The plot was its own thing.

I really liked that J.J. brought back Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker, and I thought it was an absolutely necessary thing to do.

By bringing him back, it ties all nine Skywalker saga movies together as one cohesive, overarching story and makes The Rise of Skywalker feel like an actual series finale to the saga, it feels like there really is one overarching villain for the saga rather than just killing him off for good in Return of the Jedi and then having Kylo Ren be the villain in the last trilogy.

He is so important to the saga, and had he not been included as the final villain of the trilogy, and, by extension, the saga, then it would’ve felt like something was missing. We have more of an established connection with him over the first six films than with Kylo Ren or Snoke or Plagueis or the Yuuzhan Vong from Legends or Maul.

For once I agree with you. No one else agrees with me on this.

I’m a little baffled we’re only now starting a thread like this.

Overall, the trilogy was an uninspired mess with moments of greatness. Everything is needlessly derivative in both story and aesthetics. For settings we get a bunch of boring desert and forest planets. Only TRoS actually tried to tell an original story, but even then said story is utter crap. Only Rey, Luke, and Kylo get lightsabers because that’s what the OT did and god forbid we deviate from it. It’s blatantly obvious to me the Knights of Ren should’ve all had lightsabers.

Finn actually an excellent character in TFA, he just unfortunately never evolves out of being a Rey simp. I certainly wouldn’t call the character racist like fmalover. Rey is not OP in the slightest. She has the power level I’d expect her to, and I don’t get why everyone else is so up in arms about it. Luke doesn’t feel out of character at all. He feels like a believable progression of his RotJ self. Poe is…honestly not bad for someone who was supposed to die in the first 20 minutes.

Now for the good. The first 40 minutes of TFA are flat-out perfect. The rest needs a lotta work, but that opening is gold. I think bringing Palpatine back was not just good but necessary. He’s the thing that ties the whole Saga together. Was he handled well? Not particularly, but it’s better than nothing. And no, I don’t care about the Prophecy, not to mention it’s literally explained in the movie that balance was restored in RotJ and that it just wasn’t permanent balance. The two rhyming Han and Ben scenes are perfect. Rey and Kylo’s dynamic is great, and just Kylo as a whole. TRoS’s breakneck pacing feels 100% appropriate imo for a finale. I love Fuhrer Hux’s speech.

Oh and the tone across all three movies feels like a parody. No, not just TLJ, TFA did it too.

We now have the means to make Obi-Wan say the words “dummy thicc”.

We already have a deepfake ideas thread. Isn’t this one redundant?

Could I have a link please?

“Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy looking Nerf™ herder hoarder!”

Leia makes a personal attack on Han’s hobby of collecting Nerf guns. Recolor his blaster to be brightly colored and plasticky accordingly throughout the films.

That might be very difficult to rotoscope, but, if everyone is okay with me doing an exceptionally bad job of it, it’s doable! (Not that I anticipate much of my visual additions to be good, but I figure that’s not really the point of this whole endeavour.)

I figured you’d do the whole thing with G5 style animated sprites overlaid on the actual film.

Very important question time: who is Holdo’s partner pokémon?

Some kind of fairy type. Maybe Snubull.

Ziggy, do you have a high quality version of the deleted Yoda scene?

Anyone have an HD version of this?

I’m looking for a higher quality version of this scene from RotJ. Does anyone have one?

Try doing a bearded Kylo Ren in TRoS, to visualize that he’s no longer a “child” but rather a man.

Bearded Kylo riding on a Tauntaun is the ST’s biggest missed opportunity.

Whether it does what?

An idea I had today was to make the reveal that Kylo and Rey are a dyad. Could that work?

It still feels a bit odd to jump from an interior to an exterior right back to the interior.

Strongly agree.

Obviously they meant the Star Trek Enterprise theme.

I’m not a trekkie, but I know my dad always hated that one.

Anyway, what if we expanded TRoS’s crawl to explain to the audience that Palpatine returned in Fortnite™?

Especially comparing it to the music from my grandparents’ generation, which sounds like it was written by five year olds.

cough cough Beatles and Queen

I really want to end my TLJ edit by irising out on the group shot of the Resistance inside the Falcon, but the shot isn’t long enough to fit the music. It’s only a few seconds too short - I’ve seen people here extend shots using interpolation software, but I don’t have the technical know-how to do it myself; is there anyone who could give it a crack?

Just change the music. Or better yet, take DZ-330’s suggestion.

The Next Generation theme actually works really well. In fact, the original theme is not a bad fit either.

Bill Gates paid them to film it in Bliss as product placement.

Pursuant to this: what’s the funniest/worst piece of music to replace the Star Wars theme with over the crawl?

I’ll nominate the song I happened to be listening to when I read that post.
