This is my interpretation:

I agree, I think Space Fantasy is more accurate of what Star Wars is. The term Space Opera comes from the likes of shows like Flash Gordon, Lost in Space etc, where the story seems to go on and on and on… like a soap opera. And initially that was what I think George Lucas was trying to achieve. And then he seemed to abandoned it for a 9 episode saga where by the end of the 9th episode the Emperor would be destroyed. But of course by the completed script of Return of the Jedi he had decided to make ROTJ the final conclusion to the Saga. Now with the new movies Snoke was introduced to fill the role.

I am interested if anybody knows when George Lucas abandoned his initial idea of making Star Wars a Space Opera? My own guess is between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. And I guess it leads to the question… now with Disney in charge and so many movies in the pipeline. Could Star Wars be now reconsidered as a Space Opera?

For TFA I have written down what I’m going to do. I am going to add a 20th Century Fox intro with “A subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company”, change the “along time ago…” into the old font. And essentially remove all scenes of Rey arriving at the island. Finally change the credits; remove Mark Hamill’s credit and insert 20th century credit.

I have decided to do TLJ in 4K. I will need to split the movie up into quite a few segments. My biggest problem is how to deal with Poe’s mutiny.

I have been thinking about a TLJ fan-edit for a while.

I generally have a problem how TFA and TLJ sit with other. So I have decided it is better fixed by re-editing TFA.

This will be my very first Fan-it and the problem I am grappling with is resolution.

Is it better to do TFA in 1080 and TLJ in 4k?

OR all in 1080?
