Just bumping on the offchance that anyone knows if SSWR is okay.

I don’t like Return of the Jedi that much either but if Jedi copied TPM Chief Chirpa and Wicket would escape through the Imperial shield, attempt to meet up with the Rebel fleet to plead for help and get shot down over Tatooine. They help Luke rescue Han from Jabba and Leia convinces the fleet to attack the Death Star. Wicket confesses to actually being Chief Chirpa in disguise. Which foxes Lando who has inexplicably fallen in love with him. At the celebration ceremony one of the revelers is looking a bit Snoke shaped and is smiling sinisterly at Han and Leia clearly in love. Actually a better film.

Replace the 20th century Fox fanfare with that alien yak thing farting in Jar-Jar’s face.

I think they should take a leaf out of the Rogue One book and do a film about the Bothans obtaining the location of the second Death Star and have the Emperor and his underlings scheming to let them get away but not too easily. Many Bothans will die😢. Some characters from Andor and Rebels could appear. But new characters we don’t know of too. I’d rewrite canon so this Death Star was started around the same time as the first. And that it’s the one we saw in Revenge of the Sith. The first Death Star being a Separatist weapon completed by the Empire and the second being a Republic version built using the plans Dooku gave Sidious. This will explain why it took so long to build one but the other was almost finished a few years later.

See Threepio in the prequels speaks with a Jamaican accent and only adopts the fussy butler persona after his memory is wiped in Episode 3 when his memory is wiped again in episode 9 the accent comes back.

This is all Phase3’s fault. . . He shot me the cut shots from the Naboo Space Battle that he’s restoring, and I decided to see if I could figure out where they went. . . This is the result [music is a temp-track to check pacing and color/sound is WIP]: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1864hKUDsi9-FnuZUda_rxcb_S3fe763I/view?usp=sharing

Maybe just one, “I’m trying to stop”. The one shot I would love someone to add is the Trade Federation fleet approaching And surrounding Naboo at the beginning. But I am on record saying the big issue with The Phantom Menace is it’s not linear enough. The Queen should start out on Coruscant and intend to rescue her people on Naboo with Jedi but get shot down and forced to land on Tattoine en route. Finally getting there at the end. If ANH had the same structure as TPM Luke would have found out the Rebel Base was on Tatooine and have to go back there to blow up the death star.

Wait, I thought the $1000 was supposed to be matched to $2000.

$2000 isn’t £2000 yet. But don’t worry our politicians care working on it😁

Use CGI to replace Benjamin Bratt and Jimmy Smits with Adrian Dunbar.

Sad to note the passing of Joe Don Baker aka Darius Jedburgh.

It’s fun but I think it’s a bit too blue and dark to match the usual effect. Originally the hologram footage was filmed off a CRT monitor. I don’t know if you could do that. I always thought the subtitles could do with alterations so it doesn’t just duplicate Greedo’s scene. It would still have to match Harrison’s lines.

No that was an infamous joke that got him “banned” one April. https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/SAVE-LANDO/id/10311/page/1

He has pulled this once obscure Lucas buttslap device of a site too far into the mainstream.

I’m not sure I understand what a buttslap device is.

It’s a device for slapping butts.

Okay, how about this

The best attempt yet. Star wars at its most needed.

I just sold my sixth kidney. Hopefully that will do it.

What does that mean?

I took six of my kidneys out and sold them for donation funds. They keep growing back anyway.

I’m still miffed Leia wasn’t Snoke. Hopefully one day someone will be able to do that film. Until then this looks fun. Like the prequels there is no high art to debase by playing with alternatives. By breaking his saga Lucas unleashed a wave of creativity that Disney has kept feeding.

Aloha!

My work schedule finally slowed down a bit, so I’ll be back to working on proper editing breakdowns later today, but in the meantime here is one of my favorite recut scenes from Attack of the Clones: https://youtu.be/ZaOsg-B0iqg

Enjoy the Edit!

Between yourself and what SomethingStarWarsRelated was attempting to do I can see a fun watchable Star Wars peeping out. Be careful with cranking the contrast up too much. Some of the footage is very difficult to see at times. The action cuts are really good. Big plus being the lack of research rubbish changeling effects, even the name sounds stupid

That was another Kiltwalk. It ended being 27miles because I had to get to the starting point and from the finishing line. Normally we have all four seasons at once but this year we got Autumn in April. Rain with intermittent grey. The organisers split the event over two days so the shorter walks happened on the Saturday (in torrential rain) making the long walk not as densely participated and the usual enthusiastic crowd at the finishing line wasn’t very impressive. I got lost at one point because the signage wasn’t too good and I couldn’t see anyone else doing the walk as there weren’t as many kilts this time either. Thanks again to my donors. The link should be good for a few weeks to come. I am now sore in places I didn’t know I had places.

Impressive collage.

Episode 1 wasn’t as silly as RTD openers usually are.

Are any short cuts in reducing the gerf of the baseball bat Luke wields in ROTJ or would it have to be done by hand?

Happy Bingo was Happy 👍👍

The Dooku fight in AOTC always seemed topsy turvy to me. I think it comes from an attempt to create anticipation for the very silly Yoda acrobatics. Surely sword fighting is less of display of prowess than throwing the environment about and shooting electricity out of your hands?🤔
