I really really want Luke to haunt Kyloooo
Yeah, gotta say, that was like the #1 thing I was looking forward to from IX after I got out of the theater from TLJ (when I was still furious about Luke’s death).
Nice thought, though!
If we could somehow do a wholesale saber replacement throughout and have her use Leia’s to replace Anakin’s which broke in TLJ, then Luke gives her his green one on Ach-To…that’d be an interesting experiment. But it might not work given how much dialogue is centered around “[Leia’s] brother’s saber.”
Literally the only difference between the HDTV/DVD and the theatrical cut is a wipe that accidentally got changed to a hard cut.
As for the “Nooo,” that’s false. We have the theatrical audio.
I always thought that TPM was in 2K at best, as a result of its CGI and digital composition being only done in 2K. Wouldn’t the whole film need to be re-rendered to be truly in 4K or am I mistaken?
They don’t do that for the 90% of current movies that have all their CGI and the final master done at 2K (like every Marvel movie).
WAAAAAYYYYY more 4K BR’s are upscaled 2K than you think.
That…might be a little much for a Star Wars movie. 😂
If you want the theatrical versions
The Phantom Menace: 2000 Widescreen Video Collector’s Edition (VHS)
Also laserdisc.
Attack of the Clones: 2002 widescreen DVD is identical to the digital projection version
This is probably false (as far as we know the garage scene was extended for the DVD) but we don’t know for certain since we have no bootleg of the digital theatrical cut.
Revenge of the Sith: Theatrical version never released, but the Blu-ray and 2005 widescreen DVD are almost identical (Disney+ version is the Blu-ray version upscaled to 4K)
Literally the only difference between the HDTV/DVD and the theatrical cut is a wipe that accidentally got changed to a hard cut.
As for the BR, the wipe was fixed, but moss was added to Kashyyyk rooftops and some sound effects added when the clones attack on Utapau. That’s it. Other than that, the BR is the theatrical cut.
Original trilogy: 1992 Special Letterbox Collector’s Edition or 1995 THX Widescreen Edition (VHS)
Also laserdiscs and 2006 GOUT DVD release.
Kathleen Kennedy’s hyper-feminism.
Oh. You’re one of those. Gross.

Seriously, that is stunning.
Perfect! 😄
As for the “pulsing” effect, if it’s possible to give Anakin’s saber a blue version of the same effect Kylo’s red saber has, I think that would work both logically (she had to use a cracked Crystal much like Kylo did) and thematically (she’s inching closer to falling to the dark side, much like Kylo did).
Only problem there is if Anakin’s lightsaber works like that with no crossguard, it begs the question of why Kylo added a crossguard when he turned his saber from blue to red if it wasn’t to contain the energy of a cracked crystal…
Dang it, Hal already released the final version of TFA:R! Stop coming up with good ideas! 😉
With respect, I honestly can’t understand why so many people think it’s perfectly okay to have “Rey Nobody.”
TFA established, and TLJ continued, the notion that this “nobody” is vastly overpowered with the Force compared to anyone else, without any training. That needed an explanation.
Um…was the Dyad thing not the explanation?
Also, the idea that a “nobody” can have such innate talent with the Force was kind of the whole point/message, wasn’t it? Bloodlines don’t matter, anyone can be the most important person in the galaxy?
I’m 100% all for adding some “For Skywalker!” voices to the end battle! I wonder if we could Tweet some TCW/Rebels VAs to record just that line in-character. They’re all stuck quarantined inside already, they must be bored, right?
Oh, I was just talking about altering the end of ROTJ, not TROS. I think Victory Celebration is a better track to end on, especially if you intend to follow it up with the ST, but I’ve never liked the planet cutaway celebrations in ROTJ.
But something like what I want to do certainly would mesh with a TROS edit where someone used ROTJ:SE Bespin/Coruscant/Tatooine/Naboo celebration shots. But I don’t intend to do a TROS edit.
…yet.
sigh Fine, I’ll make something and finish it for once. 😉
I guess the choice is to either mitigate the fan servicey crap, or lean into it.
I vote mitigate. And this is coming from someone who overall likes the movie.
LOL, it’s only been a month since the last post, man, be patient.
Yub Nub!
Nah, I prefer Victory Celebration instead.
I’d say this edit is a perfect place to try out using Victory Celebration without cutting away to the SE planet celebrations, since that ending is now redundant with TROS and you could then reuse some of them, like Coruscant, for TROS Ascendant.
General consensus is basically that 4K burning for playback on standalone players is not feasible at this time. Ripping 4K discs is possible though, and most 4K players should be able to play 4K MKV video files without issue (though check your player’s manual for supported video and audio formats).
Hilt replacement is always a problem, but I could get behind that if it could be done convincingly (though I’d hate to lose the Leia training flashback, it was one of my favorite little moments).
Yeah, that’s a fair analysis.
And this is reminding me of exactly why I jumped ship from Apple back to PC back when FCPX first came out. So many absurd hoops to just get the damn thing to work. You’d think almost a decade later they’d have ironed that shit out…
So what’s your point then?
Like I said, it’s been a thing since 1980!
Basically, unless you’re insane you actually like the scene, there’s no reason to keep Leia Poppins IMO.
Agreed, very well argued, but:
All y’all are forgetting her sensing Luke calling to her at the end of ESB… smh
