Anyone else think Empire Strikes Back's Special Edition is actually better than the Theatrical Cut?

I’m a younger SW fan, so I grew up with the 2004 editions on DVD. For me it’s the little things, like the audio for “the first transport is away” is redone and it makes the moment that bit nicer.

Ummm… What?

I believe in regards to that replacement voiceover, they were so unbelievably lazy that they got Mark Hamill to record the line, then deepened it slightly. Much like the reuse of the Emperor’s scream when Luke is falling. Seems more like both create massively confusing and convoluted continuity errors rather than improvements.

<em>REY NOBODY</em> - A Collaborative Thread

Something like this:

Rey: Why did the Emperor come for me? Why did he want to kill a child? Tell me.
Ren: Because he saw what you would become. You don’t just have power. You’re a vergence in the Force Rey. The most powerful nexus of Force energy since my grandfather. I didn’t want to accept it, but it’s the truth.

For years, I’ve been chasing his power, and all this time it’s been right in front of me. In you. Palpatine fears your power, Rey. We’ll kill him, together, and take the throne.

Octorox, mrbenjamino has volunteered to attempt an impression of Kylo Ren saying these lines. He says he can make it sound fairly convincing so I trust him in that sense.

Before he records them however, I would like to know if you think any improvements can be made to the above dialogue before he records them.

Here’s a quick try (sound is not great) for an idea I posted a few days ago : removing Rey in the X-wing shot at the end of Exegol. The video is quite long for such a small change, it’s just to see how it flows. IMO it’s more consistent regarding Rey’s feelings at that moment. So what do you think ?

this thread may be the better place to post that.

Lol “ice speed”

Thinking ahead, how might we do a group commentary track? Through Zoom? We could stream the movie through there and each maintain our own recordings of our own voices, to be edited together later.

We could either make it a real party or just have 3-5 commentators. As long as sync isn’t an issue a party would be okay, but I would be a little concerned about sync.

You can record group chats very nicely on Discord. It seems that whenever I try to chat live with Americans on Zoom, connection and audio quality is a real issue. It’s stylistically fucked.

Could the current cut simply work with both removed TIEs at the end of the chase, and keeping the lightspeed skipping banter afterwards?

I don’t think we actually need to see the fighters following the Falcon to explain why it’s on fire the next time we see it.

That’s something that has been particularly problematic to me, you NEED that scene when the falcon is on fire since it’s the first time Finn, Rey and Poe have been depicted together and it establishes their relationships with each other for the rest of the film… But I can’t stand a single second of that stupid argument scene! That dialogue! Oh my god!

We shouldn’t do Naboo instead of Corellia just in case Snooker ever finishes making Ajan Kloss into Naboo.

Also Corellia is cool, better than a video game graphics Gunganville…

It would be nice to have a planet from each grouping of films, who cares if not enough people have seen Solo, it’s not like it would ruin the entire film, it would just look like another city planet. It’s the best thing to add as both a Solo and an EU reference.

At least get whoever makes Naboo to create an alternative for Corellia.

Edit:

We’ve also already seen Naboo used in a celebration montage in the SE of ROTJ.
