I recently acquired a copy of The Sounds of Star Wars book, but I can’t get the audio player to work for the life of me. I’m interested in getting a hold of those 256 sounds in particular. This thread is the closest I’ve been able to get to finding them anywhere online.

Even if Brash’s full archive isn’t available anymore (or ever?), does someone at least have a lead on the SoSW sounds?

Thanks in advance.

Nice work! I really like the added dust at the end, little things like that really help to sell the shot better than the original does.

Can this make color falloff with the lightsabers work on all scenes of the original 6 films? https://youtu.be/CYN2alBR3P8

Messed around with a real quick and dirty test of this the other day actually. It actually looks reasonably fine!

Wow, very promising!

Thanks Harmy,
This shot at 2:04:00 has a very different grade compared to theatrical. Is this a 19SE change?

Hi DMC, would you be able to please share the link with me as well?

I really appreciate the restoration work on this special as I’ve never seen a fully complete version before, and was only recently made aware of how much was removed. I’ll definitely be preserving my copy!

I was upset when I realized they removed so much. I looked online for the missing segments and when I came across this I had to sign up in hopes of being able to see Emmett Otter like i remember. DMC could you please PM me I would appreciate a copy of the the restored full version. Thank you so much for keeping this alive for Emmet Otter fans.

Sure thing!

Hi DMC, I’d also greatly appreciate a PM for Emmett Otter. I have a DVD I burnt ages ago of the Philfrog edit but it always freezes during the Washtub song, and I can’t find my original files. Many thanks in advance and happy holidays!

PM sent your way!

Hi DMC. I’m new to the page. I have many copies of this movie, but none of the original. If you are able, I would appreciate a copy of the “good version” as well. Thank you in advance.

Jonah-Hex said:

Hi DMC - Emmet Otter is my gal’s all-time favorite Christmas special, so I’m sure she’d love to see your version. Could you please PM me the link so I can surprise her with it later this year? Thanks!

Hey, PM sent your way. It’s a great edit by Philfrog (not my version to be clear, I’m just keeping it alive by sending links). Hope you both enjoy!

WXM said:

DMC, I’m not seeing too many post-received thank yous here so I’ll offer mine. Thank you 😃 You’ve been keeping this alive for everyone for over half a year now. Very cool of you!

Hey WXM, thank you, that’s much appreciated! 😃 Out of the 8 people I’ve sent this to you’re the only one who ever thanked me 😆. So that’s cool of you as well.

I feel bad for people getting into Star Wars for the first time. A lot of them will be confused about which movie to start with, and even if they do start with the OT, they’ll be stuck watching the Special Editions.

It saddens me. There was this big wave of YouTube videos of people reacting to Star Wars for the first time. They were enjoyable to watch, but every one I found (except 1 lucky gal) watched the Special Editions. I get this sort of second-hand embarrassment seeing someone watch the Jabba scene, Jedi Rocks, or Vader screaming “NO!”. I’ve seen a few people comment on how the effects are a little dated, not realizing that most of the dated effects were added 20 years after the film came out.

3PO’s “Shutting up, sir.” line in ANH, I had never noticed it before my May 4th viewing yesterday.

WTF??? This is the most mind-blowing thing in this whole thread.

I’ve had my own ROTJ edit sitting at like 95% for a few years now. I’ve been putting off finishing it because the last 5% is the most difficult, tedious stuff. And I’m still unsure about many of my changes anyway. So this will be a great thread to bounce around some ideas/flesh them out. Some that I’ve used, and some that I deemed too ambitious for my edit.

Anyway, love the Boba Fett clip RogueLeader, works better than I imagined. And that mockup image is sexy, Nev.

I was curious to see if Boba’s theme would work with the scene so I copied RL’s work to test it out. And I threw in some sound FX just for fun:

Maybe a little too on the nose? IDK, I think it’s pretty cool 😃
There’s a dozen other good Morrison lines to use there, I just picked a couple. I would end up settling on different lines/placement; perhaps my test doesn’t have the right tone. RogueLeader, I’m certain you can perfect that. Could be cut a few different ways depending on the vibe you’re trying to achieve.

I check in on several threads but I’m just not actively posting.
When compared to every other thread, my posts are never lengthy. I prefer posting my thoughts in video form as opposed to taking the time to write it all out. I’ve always struggled with putting words to my thought process anyways.
I just feel kinda funny bumping my thread every time I release another youtube video. As you can tell by my channel, I’ve been releasing more videos…trying to grow the channel.
Is it annoying when I post here? I try to keep it to a minimum…
Well, either way, thanks to everyone who checks in on this thread!
I just felt I needed to address some of these thoughts I’ve had here.
Thanks again!

No, it is absolutely not annoying. I can understand trying to keep posts to a minimum; I rarely post despite obsessively checking this site several times a day. But this is your thread dude! It’s perfectly appropriate to bump it.

Whether it’s a post here, or a video, I can’t get enough content that explores the process of fanediting. I enjoy it all. So do what you’d like!

^ Amazing work! Love what you’re doing here.

Wow, interesting idea there. To be honest, the first time watching I assumed that Zam’s scope was actually Jar Jar’s POV for some reason (idk, maybe this new green Gungan has a bionic eye lol). I think it’s because the “Welcome, Jedi” line comes immediately before the assassination attempt, so my brain sort of connected the two. Giving that part a little more breathing room might help it sell better; maybe extend the shot of Padmé and Typho if possible.

I think seeing Zam might help too, but I understand that’s a hard thing to get working and may cause a different set of issues.

Thanks for sharing your work 👍

I recall some discussion of a tool for generating C-3PO dialogue earlier this year, and realized that there’s one place in this edit where it could really come in handy.

That tool was a text-to-speech voice on TikTok. I just took a look and it’s not available for me anymore. Hoping it’s just me 😧
