Buzz Lightyear

Critics also act like there was no explanation for how he is still alive after blowing up in a reactor shaft shortly before the second Death Star blew up, except he straight-up confirms he’s died before, and his main motivation is literally to possess Rey if she were to kill him in anger so he wouldn’t be trapped in that shitshow of a clone. Put two and two together, and one can infer that he transferred his spirit to this clone after Darth Vader killed him in anger.

Actually you have some of the details mixed up here. Palpatine wanted Rey to strike him down with her anger and hatred and a desire for revenge because striking him down with those negative emotions is what would complete the Sith ritual and allow his spirit to transfer into Rey, but Rey refused to feel hatred toward Palpatine:

"Palpatine: The time has come! With your hatred, you will take my life and you will ascend.

Rey: All you want is for me to hate, but I won’t. Not even you."

And we can infer that if Luke or Vader had killed Palpatine out of hatred in RotJ, it would have ostensibly allowed Palpatine to transfer his spirit into Luke or Vader, respectively. This is how the Sith have been passing down their spirits from Sith Lord to Sith Lord for generations, and thus is why all the Sith (at least, the ones who successfully killed their master and became Sith masters themselves) exist in Palpatine.

When Vader killed Palpatine out of love for his son, it broke the cycle and Palpatine just straight up died, temporarily bringing balance to the Force. Palpatine’s later revival in a clone body was a separate thing that occured later.

I’d love to get a link, kind sir.

I tried to implement Scene 38 into IlFanEditore’s cut of ANH, but I wasn’t entirely satisfied; I think there were too many music changes, and I’m not too experienced with editing music.

There’s no indication that he rejected the dark side.

His beef was with Palpatine, specifically. Like pretty much everyone in this series, but even moreso than most, he was a victim of Palpatine and wanted revenge, and in his dying moments he took comfort in the idea that Luke would eventually carry out that revenge.

The problem isn’t that it’s a plot hole (I agree that it’s not), it’s that it’s an unexplained coincidence. Explanations help coincidences feel less coincidental and smooth out the immersion-breaking feeling they cause. Good explanations will completely eliminate coincidence completely (for instance, it’s not a coincidence that Luke met Obi Wan or that Obi Wan had Anakin’s lightsaber, since Obi Wan was Anakin’s former friend and mentor and was watching over Anakin’s son). Even weak explanations are better than nothing.

Without that minimal effort on the writer’s part, the human mind is immediately alerted to the fact that this is just actors reading from a script and that the writer couldn’t think of a more organic way to move the plot in the direction he wanted.

I’ve been following the SC38 project since its trailers and have toyed with the idea of putting my own effects into this, trimming it down, etc. I mentioned this to a friend and got the whole “oh, haven’t you heard” and was directed to ForceGhostRecon’s version, which I liked. I just came across this version and love what you did with it, especially with the canon streamlining, great work!

If you are still sending out links to the full movie, I’d love to check it out, let me know 😃

Is there any technology like this but with voices? I wish there was a way to make Hayden’s voice match closer to Clone Wars, especially if it’s coupled with a deepfake to make him look more like a young Sebastian Shaw.

Also, as much as I love Tim Curry, I wish there was a way to make his voice sound more like Palpatine and less like Tim Curry in the episodes he voiced.

I don’t understand why Ventress falling would be problematic. Force users have survived much worse.

How did you get scene 38 without the original musical score?

I didn’t, I integrated my changes into the existing sound. Forceghostrecon may have somehow got it, and his edit was the one I built mine on top of, but he’s long since been banned from here.

I’d argue the name Darth Sidious in TLJ and the clone army line in TFA are the only true references to the Prequels. If no one told you who the Jedi voices were you wouldn’t question it. They’re just past Jedi, doesn’t matter who they are, and that includes Obi-Wan. Granted, Anakin does mention bringing balance to the Force, so I guess that’s one for TRoS. Oh and the RotS quote from Palps.

The entire concept of the Sith being a thing at all was only ever established in the prequels, in the OT the Emperor was just this lone guy with Force powers who managed to turn a Jedi to the dark side. Yet the Sith existing is the basis behind Palpatine’s revival and his plans to transfer his spirit to Rey. So I’d definitely mark that down as an important detail from the prequels.

Hay buddy I’d love a copy of your edit, was planning to do a rewatch of both trilogies (rogue one & solo too) and then both seasons of mando and this would be perfect as now I don’t have to make an edit myself!

Sorry for the late reply. PM sent!

Wait…this think has had 52 completed episodes (plus specials?) just sitting around collecting dust for NINE YEARS? That’s insane. Why didn’t Disney want to release it until now?

As far as signifigant direct story elements go…as in, stuff in the plot that comes out of nowhere if you go straight from the OT to the ST without watching the PT…the Darth Sidious acknowledgement is probably the main one, along with the whole idea of the Sith being this long standing organization/religion, which is important to Palpatine’s revival and his plans for Rey. In the OT the Emperor was, as far as we knew, just this lone powerful dude who managed to convince Anakin to betray the Jedi and become his attack dog. The PT is what worked in the whole Sith plotline.

Definitely wouldn’t mind checking these out. Despite the fact that I never actually watched them, these films occupy a strange and unique place in my Star Wars nostalgia. Back in the early 90s, when Star Wars was little more than a vague yet looming cultural landmark on the periphery of my awareness, I remember always seeing the Ewok films on the shelves of video rental stores along with the main films. For a long time I assumed that they, and the Ewok species in general, were a much more important part of the Star Wars saga than they actually were.

Of course, once the TPM hype train came along, I finally dove headfirst into Star Wars and learned that the Ewoks were just some unnamed alien side characters added to the third movie to sell toys and that the Ewok movies were just some weird spinoffs. But I’ve always been a bit curious about what the heck those movies were all about.
