She’s been implied to be Force sensitive since at least 1980.

It’s painfully obvious it was added because of the jarringly different musical style.

You really need to work on your tact when offering criticism, man.

Woo, happy dance!

I’ll post the 720p and full 34GB 1080p versions on MySpleen sometime later this week, same as I did for V2. (My job is considered “essential” and I can’t work from home, otherwise I’d just do it tonight.)

Yep, that’s another one of my problems with it.

I know. I was sarcastically saying that erasing every one of his posts because he didn’t get the reaction he wanted was “mature.”

Well, this was a mature response…

It’s not like anyone was saying the studios are in the right morally, we all agree it’s fucked up. We were just pointing out that it’s entirely legal and within their terms of service.

The Princess of Alderaan would have been such a better title…

Have you seen the Pruned Edition fan edit, and if so how does your edit compare?

It is, but only during the flashback scenes in TLJ showing what happened between him and Kylo.

Exactly - the only time he’s using the saber that’s supposed to be green, it is green, therefore there’s no problem.

I wholeheartedly support this.

He no like Ahsoka. (FFS = for fuck’s sake)

The problem with Mustafar is that it’s not really a scene. It’s just ‘Kylo goes to a place and finds a thing he was already looking for’. For it to earn a place, something has to happen that changes a character or plot element, otherwise it could just open with Kylo arriving at Exegol.

Exactly. This is why I said it almost convinced me…

Maybe the crawl tells how Kylo is trying to make good on his promise to end the Jedi and the Sith, and this has brought him to Mustafar to wipe out Sith cultists. When he finishes killing them, the ‘Find me’ can lead him to the wayfinder.

This would at least help give the scene some element of interest as Kylo may not have realized the wayfinder was here.

…but you might have actually convinced me.

Frankly, as soon as I saw the Darksaber, I knew we’d be getting live action Sabine, and that logically would mean we’d also likely be getting live action Ahsoka based on where both characters left off.

A little surprised Ahsoka is the one that we learned about first, but I guess that’s just because of who they cast.

But if Sabine doesn’t make an appearance, there better be a REALLY good reason Ahsoka’s there and she isn’t.

Ooh, I like that idea a lot. You almost just convinced me Mustafar should stay.

Almost.

Yeah, same here! Sorry if my post came off as complaining, that wasn’t the intention at all.

I actually agree with AniStar on this one. I don’t like how the scene feels like a rehash of the conference room scene in SW77, and removing those lines does help cushion that.

Plus, the terms “conjuror” and “soothsayer” rub me the wrong way in SW for some reason. Though it’s entirely possible that’s just the actor’s delivery.

Ooh, I’m really glad you spotted that before I got home and started downloading, Nev! I’m close to my monthly download cap and “flash frames” like that are instantly noticeable to me. Definitely gonna sit back and wait for a fix to be uploaded.

It says right in the first paragraph that the content is subject to restrictions from the studio. Maybe they can’t permanently remove the content, but from just the snippet you shared I see nothing to prevent them from replacing the content with an “updated” version without informing you.

Currently I’m still working (I do QA at a plastic meal tray factory), and we shouldn’t be affected unless we run out of orders with no new orders being placed, or existing orders get cancelled, or we run out of raw materials and can’t source any more.

More concerningly, 3 of the 5 people on my shift on Sunday were out sick, and the person on my opposite shift (I work a 2 on/2 off/3 on/2 off/2 on/3 off schedule) had to suddenly fly to Utah for a week for her dad’s funeral, so if we can’t keep fully staffed we might get screwed there too (I would complain about having to work 12hrs every night for the next week but the overtime could mean the difference between affording rent or homelessness if I do get laid off).

Currently I’m guessing I have at least 2 more weeks of work left just based on existing orders that aren’t yet cancelled, but beyond that I have no idea. I want to think that with everyone quarantined, demand for our product (used in microwave dinners, prepackaged meats, stuff like that) will either stay where it is or increase, but I really don’t know. And then there’s the raw materials and shipping concerns…

Digital copies are always a license to access the content. That’s it. You don’t own a digital copy. Ever.

The studios can replace the digital copy with an updated version, a censored version, or even revoke the license altogether at any time, without refunding you a dime, and they’re well within their legal rights to do all of those things.

Is it right? Nope. But that’s how it is.

It’s also very easy to remux an MKV file into an MP4 with just the video and one audio track without reencoding any of it if you need an MP4 for compatibility reasons but don’t want to compromise on visual quality.

I’d support fan edits that eliminated episode numbers for the OT. It’s probably just me, but it allows for more flexibility in the series and gets rid of needing to watch either the PT or the ST.

I wanted to do this once upon a time, too…

I am removing force healing from my edit. So, Kylo dies on the death star after being stabbed by Rey. In other words, Ben is never redeemed. As a result, Rey cannot be healed by Ben, so she tragically dies after defeating the emperor.

Also, I am removing the entire McGuffin chase. Meaning Rey goes straight from Leia to the death star to find the wayfinder. Its an imperfect solution, but its workable, and it removes the worst parts of the movie IMO. It does a great deal to fast track Rey Nobody because it removes Ochi and the flashbacks about her parents.

This is probably much different from the direction other people are taking, but maybe it will spark some ideas.

I’m intrigued by how well this might work, though I don’t know how well eliminating the search for the Wayfinder stuff will work without cutting the movie down to less than 90 minutes…

Maybe I’m alone in this, but I think that since it’s already established in canon that Rey is a Palpatine, we should just keep that, improve it but not deny it, even if we don’t like that narrative decision. Changing something like that it’s too big.

Then why bother making a fan edit if you’re locking yourself out of ideas because it’s “established in canon?” This is a bad reason for not trying something unless you’re explicitly making a “canon edit.”

idir_hh said:

I would propose somewhat of a radical reconstruction of the film where Rey and Kylo are both racing to find the wayfinders with Kylo beating her to the chase and finding exogol before the deathstar sequence(only possible in a Rey nobody edit to avoid the revelations on kijjimi).

Hell yeah. So on board for this.

It might not be possible, but it’s definitely worth attempting.
