Favorite Episode title?
Time

^ Solid list, all great points.
My ranking isn’t set in stone; I did it rather quickly for fun. But now I’ve been rethinking the whole order 😂.
I’d bump TPM up one and move TROS down to the bottom (‘TROS’ makes zero sense). And I probably didn’t give enough thought to ‘Star Wars’. I really like the way you put it Servii, that’s what I meant by its vagueness being a good thing. But I could think about this all day long!

Putting actual movie content aside, here’s my ranking of the titles (along with some random thoughts):

  1. The Empire Strikes Back – Perfect title for a perfect movie
  2. Return of the Jedi – This one is the most interesting for the reasons Servii mentioned^
  3. Revenge of the Sith – Very strong title, sounds cool, mirrors ROTJ
  4. The Last Jedi – Double meaning with Luke/Rey. And Luke goes from wanting to be the last Jedi, to saying “I will not be the last Jedi.”
  5. Star Wars – Great sounding name, but doesn’t encapsulate the film all that well. Yes, there’s a war going on in the stars, but that’s pretty vague (unless that’s a good thing? I don’t know)
  6. The Force Awakens – Interesting title that also sparks your curiosity. Although I don’t know how an energy field can awaken. I would’ve preferred ‘Shadow of the Empire’
  7. The Phantom Menace – Not as bad as people say IMO. Palpatine’s the menace pulling the strings in the shadows.
  8. The Rise of Skywalker – An attempt to have multiple meanings like ROTJ I guess? I find it weak and confusing.
  9. Attack of the Clones – Same style TESB was going for, but sounds way too goofy; ‘clone’ is just a comical word.

Any updates? Not just asking to see when it will be done, but also to know if you guys need more donations, help, or anything else. Thanks for doing this historic work.

It appears the project has stalled, due to a death in the family ☹️

That’s not the case, work on 4K80 is continuing AFAIK. And maybe it’s just me, but I feel like that news really isn’t yours to share.

Change Jar Jar’s accent to a black rapper’s accent, and give him his own rap somewhere in Episode I.

It should be in the scene where Padme is cleaning Artoo and she asks how he ended up with them.

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute
Just clean that R2
I’ll tell you how I became a passenger on this starship with you

In west Otoh Gunga born and raised
Being clumsy is how I spent most of my days
Freakin’ out, stressin’, my dad’s a pro whaler
He tried to kill himself when I proved an awful sailor
Then General Tarpals, my boss and harrasser
Saw me making trouble when I boom de gasser
I wrecked one little heyblibber and Boss Nass got riled
He said “go up to the surface because you’re exiled”
I begged and pleaded with him day after day
But he flapped his jowls and sent me on my way
They threatened my death and told me where I could stick it
I put my brown vest on and said “I’ll forage by this thicket”
Then chased by mechaniques, yo this is bad
When this Jedi tackled me flat on my ass
Is this how the Jedi help those in strife?
Hmm, I owe a debt for my life!
We whistled for a bongo and when it came near
We went through the core while sea monsters appeared
“Better dead in the core!” I thought, and the Jedi agreed
But we made it safely through the waterfall to Theed
We pulled up to the palace 'bout seven or eight
And we rescued the Queen and helped her friends to escape
Then we break through the blockade while the Trade Fed pursues her
Now I sit in the hold of this Royal Naboo Cruiser.

10/10

Harrison Ford in &quot;Solo: A Star Wars Story&quot; - Amazing deepfake (up on youtube)

Coke and filming new scenes for an edit aren’t exactly the same…

If i paid them and they sent me a copy, that’s selling the film. If I donate money towards the funding of the edits and they have a stream of it for everyone who donated, that’s a different situation.

Pardon my dumb analogy. But they are absolutely the same situation. They are selling access to the film.

Lurker2021 said:

The only reason they have a donation page, is the same reason Adywan or anyone else would have one. To receive some help towards funding some expensive equipment or scenes. If we wanna sit and make weird comparisons to drugs then we can do that i guess? But I’m sure you’re not incapable of understanding why they would have a donation page.

Adywan does not sell his fanedits. They can do the same as he does, receive donations for equipment and materials or whatever, there’s no problem with that. But you cannot sell your fanedits.

Nope, it’s absolutely not. As I said, if I donate money towards something and they share something with me as an early thank you, they’re not selling me the film. You’re just wrong, but hey, that’s okay. You must feel pretty hyped when you scroll through Spotify and think “wow! I own every song here! They sold it all to me!”

Yeah, sure dude. “Donate” me some cash and I’ll send you 10 pounds of cocaine as a thank you. Don’t worry though, you didn’t actually buy any illegal substance. I just shared it with you as an “early thank you,” so we are both absolved of any wrongdoing.

Here is the two-shot test for the puppet show. I made a few changes but I’ll wait and see what people notice. Let me know what y’all think.

Love it!! The only the that stuck out to me was the guy’s hand on the right repeating the same movement. Though I’d probably never notice if I wasn’t watching for a repeated shot. Maybe the hand could be roto’d out, just when it re-enters the frame? Just an idea, but that’s just me getting nit-picky. It’s friggin’ beautiful as is.
