Anakin Starkiller

Sorry, just what was running through my head at the time.

Replace the entire films with recordings of themselves someone took on their phone from the couch 5 m from the screen (shot vertically, of course).

For a while, I’ve been on the fence about saying this, but to heck with it.

During the scene where Padme reveals to Anakin that she’s preggers, intercut a short flashback of them doing the devil’s tango.

You jest but I legit have clip someone made here on the forum of a scene of them going at it in the Naboo villa in AotC. Of course it isn’t explicit or anything but you can tell what they’re doing.

Find YouTube Poops of every single scene in the saga and edit them all together in order into one single eighteen hour insanity cut.

No, silly, you’re supposed to play all nine films at once.

Change Palpatine’s scream while falling down the DSII spire to “Noooo!!”

Try “I’ll be back.”

Aunt Beru puts tiny CGI creatures in the food processor rather than vegetables.

Okay this one is golden. Tbh, it sounds like something that could legit happen in the prequels. In fact, if someone were to put together such a clip, I think I would include it in my edit of ANH.

This is one of those great worst ideas that if you told me straight-faced it was in one of the different Special Editions, I’d probably briefly believe it.

Well there we go, like I said, it sounds like something that could legit be in there.

ANH has a lot of “show, don’t tell” problems in regards to Luke’s piloting ability up until the trench run. I’m surprised nobody’s rendered a short sequence of the T16 Skyhopper zooming around Beggar’s Canyon to insert immediately before the theatrical introduction to Luke.

You’re not the first one to suggest this. The mockup here is to brief, but it could give you guys some ideas.

Nowadays if you released ANH a lot of crusty nerds would complain up and down about his piloting ability coming out of nowhere. But the truth is sometimes those details don’t need to be explained in exhausting detail. People can roll with a lot if a film is easy and breezy.

Technically not the same film, but pretty close.

You know I just had One-Winged Angel going through my head but for some reason I changed the word Sephiroth to Bibarel.

It sounds pretty good quality to me, but I guess I’m not picky.

Yes. That is a perfect plan.

Definitely would have shaken things up! I think this would have been great to open TRoS with, even.

That is TRoS.

Please the people who want Gina Carano rehired by rehiring her for the one pre-Wampa scene

If Colin Baker’s anything to go by, that’ll be a no from her, but I know you’re just joking.

However Sabine and her relatives from clan Wren look ambiguously East Asian.

Good point. They’re definitely Asian. They don’t come from the same planet fwiw. That might have something to do with it.

Here’s a mockup.

The Padme scene is extremely blurry and distant because the vision isn’t supposed to be clear. A clear vision would have a much more understated border haze. And yes, I think it would help, particularly with the Exegol temple vision edit we were just discussing. It would solve my biggest issue with it.

On different note, I’m not sure if I’ve brought this up before but I was just thinking, in edits that add Palpatine stuff into TLJ and maybe even TFA, his introduction right off the bat with “The dead speak!” can be kept and expanded upon. What am I talking about? Why the Fortnite message, of course. If we could isolate it from the music, it would work perfectly as a cold open. Lucasfilm logo, A long time ago yadda yadda, then black screen. After a second we hear his speech, still with no images. Then smash cut to the Star Wars logo with fanfare and proceed as usual.

It doesn’t look like a vision. It’s just confusing. And while I assume it was that way in the theatrical cut, having Kylo’s theme burst open specifically on the shot of Vader’s helmet is kinda weird. Shouldn’t it be the Imperial March?

That’s what I was referring to.

Bold of you to assume they have one. The only vision they have is dollar signs.

Wasn’t that R2-D2’s job?

Not Schmara Dune, Jimmy Scrambles deserves the spotlight now.

He finds the wreckage of the Second Death Star, and finds Palpatine desperately clinging to life with dark side magic, and maybe a little help from life support maintained by freak show cultists.

You know what this means, right?

I do really like your idea Sparky, but not quite enough for me to look past Palpatine’s importance to the Saga. If it were any other Sith lord, this would be a perfect end, but not him. He’s our big bad.

Then recast her, you cowards!

I know this completely contradicts canon concerning maps and stuff (Jakku and Tatooine are half the Galaxy away from each other), but Jakku is Tatooine. Tatooine was the name used by the Hutts, and after Leia killed Jabba, their hold on the planet quickly collapsed. Those who filled the power vacuum renamed the planet Jakku, not unlike the Ottomans renaming Constantinople to Istanbul. That said, the events depicted in TFA take place pretty away from Mos Eisley and Mos Espa.

There’s no confirmed voice cast for LEGO Skywalker Saga, but after Battlefront 2 used the TCW cast, it’d strike me as odd if this game didn’t. The Holiday Special used Matt Lanter

The difference is that was an original project. The Skywalker Saga is specifically based on movies where Anakin was played by someone who unambiguously isn’t Lanter and sounds nothing like him. I’m not saying it won’t be Lanter, I’m just saying it’s far from being a given.

I agree with the general sentiment, but I still think Palpatine’s survival would’ve worked best as TLJ’s cliffhanger. It does not work like “I am your father” because it was revealed in a trailer.

Sounds good to me!

When you don’t think like Disney’s consumerbase I would say. Disney itself doesn’t care. They just want profit.

Great work! Can you DM me a downloadable version? I’d like to keep it in storage.
