How do you intend on reaching six bloody hours??

How to transition from one logo to another, lol.

Would you care to show us an example?

I mean from the FE.org logo.

How do you do that “transition” exactly?

Any news on PoA and DH?

Any news on PoA and DH?

I wonder how you’ll be able to add the blood spurts?

You mean the one where Doctor Strange tells Spider-Man to “save them”?

Which deleted scenes have you left out?

One of us should take up the opportunity before someone else does.

Is there enough footage in the bonus feature to reconstruct the director’s cut?

Anakin Starkiller said:

I was never planning on personally replacing wands. It’s just that Anjohan or whatever his name is claims to have replaced them in his edits, so I figured I could use those if they look good (and giving him credit for them of course).

Well, I await to see how that turns out for you.

Nice! Do you still plan on replacing the wands?

Hey Anakin, how are things going?

Any updates?

I guess you could call these the Prequel Trilogy Special Editions we never even knew we wanted.

I just viewed the 720p render of the edit with the commentary track, and I appreciate the decisions you made to bring ROTS more in line with the OT and your explanations as to why you took such actions.

I will say that I could barely hear your commentary during the climactic duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan as the film’s audio overshadowed yours. Do you plan on rectifying this in future?

How long does this edit run for?

A fellow user on the Redux Ideas Thread said this concept would be near-impossible to implement into The Rise of Skywalker as is, so I feel it is worth sharing here as it seems more “radical” than what is being presented on the other thread.

Fanedit Forums user Gaith suggested that the film open with a funeral for Princess Leia before the opening crawl. This quote comes from the official thread for the movie:

Lucasfilm logo. “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…”
SMASH CUT to a silent (with music) funeral scene. As with Glee and Cory Monteith, we all know why the character’s gone, so there’s really no need to explain it in-universe. (Canon sources elsewhere could officially designate it space cancer or whatever, but my idea lets the funeral be a tribute to Fisher as much as possible, just as the ending to Furious 7 was obviously for Paul Walker, rather than for Brian O’Conner.) Fade out.
STAR WARS title fanfare, crawl, movie.
In short, Fisher’s passing would be so significant that it would be the only time the Episode format of “A long time ago”, STAR WARS title fanfare, crawl, movie would ever be broken. I get that most don’t enthusiastically love Thor: The Dark World as I do, but I think the two-minute dialogue-free Frigga funeral is a freakin’ fantastic scene that would make an excellent model.

A very unique idea that unfortunately wasn’t taken advantage of.

Okay, hopefully my latest idea will garner better reactions from you guys.

I can see you’re responding resoundingly in the negative. Who can blame you? The video never goes into detail on that incentive.

sigh I’ll show myself out.

Believe it or not, the Nostalgia Critic’s review of the film brings up a very interesting idea: there’s one point near the end of the video where the Mandalorian says, “Oh, I see. Because bloodlines don’t matter. She’s going to say her name is Palpatine, turning that evil name into something strong and hopeful.”

Yay or nay?
