CamSMurph

Has a tentative cutlist been drawn up for this project yet?

Any reason why Sir_Ridley didn’t bother capitalising any of the words in his revised opening crawl? 🤔

Hey HAL, I was just wondering — why did you change Ben’s mode of transport in the climax? 🤔

Oh, I can answer that! Previous stuff has established that standard TIE fighters don’t have hyperdrives.

The supplimental stuff retcons that this specific TIE is an experimental TIE scout with a hyperdrive, but that’s clearly a post-facto rationalization.

Hence, swapping it for something that DOES have a hyperdrive.

I see. But I don’t think the original film explains how he got off the Death Star ruins. 🤨

I mean, it’s clearly meant to be that he salvaged a TIE. I don’t really think it needs to explain more than that; the problem here is that they chose a TIE that doesn’t make any sense, not that the movie lets you realize he salvaged a TIE on your own.

Mystery solved.

Nope it doesn’t. So Vader’s TIE / the Lambda shuttle are good balance points between plausible (both with hyperdrive and could be found among the wreckage) and recognizable (for the shot to retain its symbolism).

Right. Let’s leave it at that, then.

So where are you with this fan edit? Ive become very interested in this as your list of changes sounds like its going to make the movie so much better. Has this project been abandoned?

Not quite. It’s on hold until I get Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Exodus finished first.

Welcome back, my dude! 👏

What exactly are you waiting to do, HAL?

Have you thought about restoring Leia’s “Always…” from the Final Trailer? Seems like a bit of a cop-out to redubbed it with Mark Hamill’s Luke in the final cut, if you ask me.

When can we expect an ETA for the edit? 😃

Is this edit still being planned out or has it been put on hold? 🤔

Rated ‘12’, mate? 😏

Any reason why you’re keeping Finn’s botched Kamikaze run?

Any updates as of late?

Does that mean it’s finished?

• When Rey hears the voices of the Jedi, it is Leia who says “Always,” not Luke (pulled from the trailer). Ridiculous missed opportunity.

Now that I think about it, it is kind of fucking ridiculous how they redubbed the “Always” quote at the last minute shorty after the release of the final trailer.

This could go down in fan editing history as the ideal mash-up of the Donner Superman films. 😃

The files have been deleted. 😐

It was indeed a change of pace for the MCU to have an opening title sequence at the beginning of one of their movies for once. 😛

Any updates on this? Clips look good so far.

This edit should be released this coming Monday as everything is pretty much set in stone.

Here’s a fun little bonus featuring some excerpts from the commentary track, with George, Ben Burtt and Rob Coleman talking about deleted scenes, with some added relevent visuals.

I am absolutely loving that test pattern, dude! Where did you find it? I should definitely look into using it for my own previews in the foreseeable future. 😃

Could this be the single best, ideal fan edit of Superman Returns out there?

The version in the GDrive folder, is that the most recent one?

Subtle, yet effective. 😃

Has this edit been changed at all in the past year? 🤨
