Originally, I also wanted this to be the case after I heard it was supposedly the original plan.
But “FIGHT the Empire!” is so much more a call to action than “F*** the Empire!” and I wouldn’t want it any other way now.
I just donated $30.
Long live the Empire!
Yeah, the mods should step in a bit more often in Adywan’s threads. They tend to be very active and are taken off-subject a lot of the time.
I doubt it, but I wonder if any story bits or easter eggs from this game are coming…
Release date:
Ryan Gosling is joining the Star Wars galaxy in a new film directed by Shawn Levy.
Levy, who recently directed and produced Marvel’s hit Deadpool & Wolverine, made a surprise appearance during The Mandalorian and Grogu panel today, joining Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and chief creative officer Dave Filoni on stage to confirm his project for the live audience at Star Wars Celebration Japan.
One of several theatrical projects still in development from Lucasfilm, including films by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, Taika Waititi and a new trilogy by Simon Kinberg, Levy’s film — Star Wars: Starfighter — will star Gosling and go into production starting this fall.
Set approximately five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Gosling will play a brand-new character teased by the actor’s appearance on stage.
Star Wars: Starfighter arrives in theaters on May 28, 2027.
Any new progress to share? Been very eager for this one!
Well, Celebration Japan is this weekend… I’d at least hope for an update or teaser or anything. My breath is not being held though.
New official logo:
I’ll admit. The editing is better but the music is a little rough when they stop smooching.
Someone accidentally loads up the wrong hologram in the Home One briefing in ROTJ, and promptly scrambles to switch it out before people start judging.
Speaking of this idea… this one may need to go to the best edit thread:
In TROS, after the Resistance listens to and responds to the message about Palpatine returning, it turns out that message is 30 years old and the informant wanted them to play the datatape backwards, and it is Kylo declaring full scale war against any anti-FirstOrder planets. Poe then lets out a "whew… i thought somehow Palpatine returned.

i have now been able to swap out the SE shot for the original.
Wonderful!
I’m not convinced this movie is ever coming out. It’s going to get cancelled like every other one. Disney sucks at managing this franchise.
I will ONLY believe it when I am at the theater with my popcorn, the lights go dark, the trailers have ended, and I see the Lucasfilm logo.
For those that don’t have the time, I’ve found this channel to be pretty thorough with their recaps!
All right, having thought about it a bit more, here’s what I imagine for the ‘alternate’ set of edits as companions to my main edits.
Original film titles, same crawls otherwise as main edits (ideally, if possible)
Not sure whether to reinstate midichlorians! Current canon projects have seemed to dodge explicit mention of them, and even if one needed them for its story they would be probably be introduced there just fine
TPM:
Reinstate the trip underwater to Otah Gungah and a few scenes that come with it which were only removed due to depending on it
Reinstate Anakin being stated to be too old to be trained
AOTC:
- Reinstate Yoda with a lightsaber
ROTS:
Existing alternate stuff about having Padme die would be part of this
Reinstate youngling murder scene and a few references to it
Reinstate Yoda vs Sidious and the explicit plan of Yoda and Obi-Wan to assassinate the two Sith (using the AI ‘Your mother once thought as you do’ line in ROTJ will help here)
In order to avoid having THREE versions of Episode III on offer (current/main version, alternate version, alternate stuff described above but Padme still lives on Alderaan), I could simply reinstate the youngling stuff into the main version as an update and have the fully alternate version in which Padme dies and Yoda fights Sidious.
Or, we could really just legitimately offer three cuts of Episode III to fit with anyone’s taste on these points:
- Padme lives, Yoda does not fight Sidious
- Padme dies, Yoda fights Sidious
- Padme lives, Yoda fights Sidious
All three would feature youngling murder, for the reason that a major canon project closely tied to the Skywalker Saga (The Kenobi show) makes central use of this story point.
Thoughts? Outrage?
What are your thoughts on reinstating Padme helping start the Rebellion into ROTS? I know her scenes can be pacing killers but I think adding back the deleted scenes help sew the seeds of the plot lines that are expanded on in Andor and also makes her feel less like a fridged woman and more like her proactive Clone Wars counterpart.
That’s already in the edit. Go to page 1 and read the changelist 😃
Some thoughts:
I think you might need to include them going into the water. The cut from “This way, hurry!” to them underwater swimming is a little rough. I think the “Canon Cut” can restore some silly “Jar Jar moments” since a lot of other ones will still be cut out. EDIT: Rewatched the OG scene, definitely mute his scream when he dives into the water.
Yeah, definitely cut the cheesy: “Through the plannnnnnnet corrrrre”
Remove Jar Jar’s over the top “OAHHHH” when the fish first sticks his tongue to the bongo
Hal posted the reflection shots to see if someone can take a stab at removing them from the reflection.
How about these:
I prefer the Padme dies cut so this won’t be relevant for me, but maybe something like this:
YODA: Hidden, safe, the children they must be kept.
OBI-WAN: We must take them somewhere the Sith will not sense their presence.
YODA: Split up, they should be.
BAIL: I can hide Padmé and her daughter on Alderaan. But all of them together… it would be too dangerous.
OBI-WAN: And Then what of the boy?
YODA: To Tatooine. To his family, send him.
ORRRRR, if possible
YODA: Hidden, safe, the children they must be kept.
OBI-WAN: We must take them somewhere the Sith will not sense their presence.
BAIL: My wife and I will help Padmé raise the children. We’ve always talked of adopting a baby girl. They will be loved with us.
YODA: Split up, they should be.
OBI-WAN: Then what of the boy?
YODA: To Tatooine. To his family, send him.
EDIT: I just had to add the word “with me” at the end and it suddenly sounds better. Very short sentences are hard for the AI to do I guess.
Maybe try to do a full one of this to replace the existing one:
Then only the other line would replace the one when he uncovers the Threepio.
May be too wordy, but something like, “He’s in much better shape than when I found him.”
Maybe like this for the full line since it is mostly all off-screen:
“Come on, I’ll show you Threepio. I fixed him up. He’s way better now. Watch.”
turns Threepio on
EDIT: I see what you mean. Watched the full unaltered scene. This could work:
Based on C-3PO’s body language (can a droid have a body language?) he seems to be in a chipper mood, almost.
Maybe something more like this, to tie to C-3PO telling R2 he is his best friend in TROS, poetry/rhyming: 😉
I was suggesting a more plot-relevant line before for 3PO before. Maybe a shorter line could help?
Hoping the new versions of Episode I will also remove the force run scene curtesy of @TGWNN, and hopefully his color correction too if it is done.
I can get the 3PO line quite easily but I’d have to work a new thing together for little Annie.
He was also in Jingle All the Way a few years earlier if you needed to find more lines to train the AI model.
For context on C-3PO:
Current Episode I edit: (before the podrace)
Current Episode II edit: (leaving Tatooine)
New Episode III edit: (leaving for Mustafar), I’d suggest…
Another thing that I don’t know how easy it would be to fix in Episode III, in your edit R2 was removed from the birth of the twins, but his reflection is still in the glass.
