You have to kill him with the dark side in order to be possessed. And thankfully the Force ghosts we added in serve a purpose beyond fan service: they hold Palpatine’s spirit in place so it’s finally destroyed.

Agree thats always been my interpretation of it, Sheev struck down Plagueis with dark intent and got possessed probably like the many other Sith before him so Plagueis needed Rey to do the same but Plagueis ended up being destroyed by his own powers in the end as the ghost Jedis shielded Rey.

Thanks Omni good to know saw it on fanedit.org and thought I’d share here as more need to see this quality work.

The first part of a 13-part documentary series chronicling the making of Star Wars - Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

Part 1 is all about George Lucas writing the film from 1994-1997, and some of his hopes for the upcoming trilogy, of which he was not considering directing at all.

Mod Edit: Bobson Dugnutt also has an ROTS ‘Making Of’, here - Falling Into Darkness: The Making of Episode III.

I hope he does an AOTC version too.

Sign me up!

I really like the ‘early morning’ aesthetic. It’s not as drastic, and more passable, than trying to make it look like night, and we do get that gradual progression of daylight setting in that implies the passage of time, not to mention it’s more visually pleasing.

Agree the morning light aesthetic added by NeverarGreat in his vid is very cool, just need to deepfake the already nice looking Leia vs Luke close up fight scene now for perfection. 😉

No problem, Muffy. I’ll start work on Order of the Phoenix in a few weeks.

Sounds good to me buddy 😄👍

Hi Anjohan, Hope alls well and things coming together with v2 for you?

Master Lawdog said:

Ladies and gentleman! The Triwizard Tournament has begun! Goblet of Fire is now finished and available!

Thanks Master Lawdog

Might be too much work, but since Zorri wears a mask the whole time, we could redub her to fit whatever new narrative we wanted. For example, we could have her say Poe was just working as a spice runner undercover for the Republic, which is why Zorri is so pissed off at Poe (and would help alleviate some of the stereotype issues of making the Latino character a former drug runner.)

When Poe asks how long Kijimi has been like this, she could say not long after Crait or Skywalker. And when Poe starts getting down in the dumps about people losing hope, Zorri could tell him that these people have actually regained hope and are resisting.

And I don’t think the mask has to be perfect MR. Once we have puppets there, it’ll probably distract from any imperfections. Plus, it’s such a short shot anyway.

“Poe was just working as a spice runner undercover for the Republic, which is why Zorri is so pissed off at Poe” Brilliant idea RogueLeader as Poe previous spice running days feel so shoe horned in this films story.

Thats cool another update for fixes is a good thing 😁👍

Due to this edit being over 10 years old now its only SD but having said that theres some charm in its lower video quality as it is the editing which makes the story shine through even without HD but it would still be nice to see this edit upscaled though. 😁

Well done Anjohan

Will post back once watched.

Thats how I read it when they meet the pilot simply as a mistreated prisoner so that scene still works unaltered.

As cool as the idea is, I think I will leave the sequence of the post-Jedha scene as-is. I’ll remove Cassian’s pre-instructions about killing Galen Erso, though, as I think that’s a fairly elegant change that works well.

This is the way, best to try and keep as close to the original were possible.

Noticed a line which might be worth removing @ 1:32:03 when the rebels are attacking Scarif and Krennic tells an officer to lock the base down the officer replies surpised and asks “and close the shield?” well er… Yeah 😑

was you able to check that line out Hal?

First post! Just thought I’d drop a little message to show my support from this - I stumbled across it from Google after a little thought to myself about why there weren’t Directors Cuts of the Harry Potter films.

What’s been done so far sounds fantastic (a colour-corrected HBP in particular really interests me) - and I’d love for a release of 1-2 to be contained in this too (I own the extended Blu-rays, but a completed set would just be nice, no?). Plus, even though I adore Richard Harris, a deepfake to keep Dumbledore looking consistent throughout the films would be brilliant.

Thanks again for all your hard work - I’ve bookmarked this and will check in from time to time to see how this is going and hopefully engage with the community. 😃

If your looking for improved versions of the first two films you should check out Anjohans fanedits of those films here: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Harry-Potter-and-the-Sorcerers-Stone-Revisited-Released/id/17069

Hes looking to release V2 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone - Revisited which includes deepfakes but not of Dumbledore though.

Noticed a line which might be worth removing @ 1:32:03 when the rebels are attacking Scarif and Krennic tells an officer to lock the base down the officer replies surpised and asks “and close the shield?” well er… Yeah 😑

Nice work PJ

These are amazing, definitely my go-to’s for the books from now on. The ambience and music from the films really do transform these into a truly magical experience.

Can’t wait for GOF!

Thanks a lot! I hope to get it done in February.

No rush my friend better to take your time and have an edit YOUR happy with 😀👍

Hi Anjohan, glad to hear your update is coming along and with deepfakes too!
When do you think we will be seeing this much needed magical version?

jarbear said:

It would be nice if that line can be removed, if possible. Hope Digmod could work some magic to remove it.

EDIT: If I find some time, I may try to see how it looks to cut it out and stitch the scene together … I think it’s just ambient sounds and not music, but I gotta check to remember.

Now its pointed out it can’t be unheard, it does seem tacked on and unnatural as he says it walking off…

Agree this mystery mission change is good, its a shame we don’t see Cassians intro scene in this edit as knowing he will kill in cold blood if ordered would make this reveal all the more tense.

I also very much like the original Rogue One and think its theatrically fine as was intended on release, but those deepfakes added to Hals V2 won me over from the original version, this can no longer be called a half-assed edit 😁

The less changes the better but still looking at TM2YC change list if there were to be any fixes to use:

• Reordered opening act, which I felt was choppy in the original version. Now we do not return to older Jyn until it’s time for her to be rescued and time for her story to begin again. Death Star scene has also been brought forward to establish the threat, before we see how others are responding to that threat. I think these changes make things clearer.
  -Hals removal of Cassian in the beginning to better follow Jyn is understandable but that scene is a missed

• Altered blue-milk shot so the camera pans with Lyra’s movement across the kitchen, instead of zooming right in on the milk, which I found to be distracting.
  -subtle yet effective

• Removed distracting fan-service cameo from Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba.
  -Already fixed in V2

Removed a few seconds of Bodi dithering too long over the ‘Rogue One’ call sign.
-Already fixed in V2

If more aggresive changes preferred then best off with TM2YC Rogue One edit.

Hmmm, it’s an odd thing. I’m not sure how any of this works, but I noticed the colors looked diferent back when I tested merging the shots to a full scene, even though the clips would look fine on playback.
The odd colors are most apparent during the first scene:

Here’s a fix test I did altering some settings, this might look better, though it still alters the colors a bit:

That green is noticable when looking at those images

Also, I have a huge list of fan edits (including this Mandalorian fix) that I will begin crafting/uploading as soon as my new computer arrives. I’ve got a Last Jedi edit that I haven’t been able to complete due to computer issues but it’s about halfway completed on my current computer. After that is finished, I’ll start work on my definitive edits for the rest of the series. Pumping out a Mando edit should be easy compared to these movies 😃

Look forward to seeing that Shamooks deepfake of Lukes in the full episode lavoyd.

Nice, your Filmumentaries Jambe Davda are something to behold they sit alongside the rest of my Starwars collection and have been rewatched nearly as much as the orignal films. 😁👍
