I like mirroring the Leia convo, but in the last close-up of Rey you can definitely tell that Daisy Ridley’s facial scar is on the wrong side if you’re aware it exists. Not that anyone would be looking for that sort of thing in a real viewing, though, of course. Could probably fix it with EBSynth.

Maybe I’m wrong, but isn’t the most conspicuous part the arm band Rey wears being on the wrong side? I’m not sure if she ever switches it but for telling whether something’s flipped I thought that might be an issue. It’s kind of like having Chewie’s belt going the wrong way?!

You’re right, I didn’t catch that. Not as bad as this shot though!

Now that’s weird to look at.
IMO Carrie being flipped is much more noticeable, and well worth the tradeoff to correct it, but not everyone will feel that way. Hal put it perfectly here:

It’s six one way and half a dozen the other with mirroring that scene.

That’s a good observation, about that scene playing into Leia somehow knowing Rey’s parentage. I’m not sure removing it would help the film’s overly fast pacing, though, as you’d have to smash from “We must find Exegol” to the Falcon’s fuel thing being uncoupled in closeup.

That little scene does establish that Rey is following Luke’s journal which is important to understand.

Even without the idea that Leia “knows,” the scene shows Leia’s misgivings about the darkness and/or inexperience that Rey senses within herself and fears.

I like it a lot, Sherlock.

Side note: would horizontally mirroring this scene break anything? The shots of Carrie are mirrored and I find it quite jarring; takes me out of the movie. Though I’d guess it’s not a big deal to anyone else.

But here’s a test: https://streamable.com/93t3fa

The only thing is that Rey flips the pages in the opposite direction (I have no problem with that though).

I’m looking for a higher quality version of this scene from RotJ. Does anyone have one?

It’s taken from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz56q4t6fek
AFAIK the YouTube upload is the only available source and the guy who owns the Laserdisc has never uploaded it uncompressed elsewhere.

^ That’s a great one.
The most bizzare choice that popped into my head was this:

SC 38 is hot garbage. No disrespect to the people who made it, I’m sure it was quite the feat. But that fan-film doesn’t fit in at all alongside the original Star Wars. Inserting a Teletubbies episode into the Death Star sequence would mesh better.

How’s this?

It’s not the cleanest; I had some trouble isolating the title from some of the stars.

Whoops, nevermind on that. I have a high quality version of that teaser trailer, working on it now

If you send me a source for the Rogue One title card I can slap something together for ya

Any plans to update this with Burbin’s new and improved deepfake integrations? 😁

Thank you! The ‘alternate’ deepfake clips really stood out before, now they all match perfectly. Much sharper too. This is a huge improvement, nice work Burbin (and Shamook!) 👍

Wow, that’s a cool idea. Great work.

Here’s another

That mock-up image looks very promising! And at first glance I didn’t even notice the camera gear still there. If this scene gets completed I’d be ecstatic.

Just mute the whole line.

Unfortunately this can’t be done, as it creates a massive hole in the logical progression of the character-driven storytelling.

Well, that’s why it’s here in the worst edit ideas thread.

Click on the link, 'twas a joke I believe. At least I hope so.

TPM: Make Padme’s voice so low it has to be put in the LFE track

ESB: Make “the other” Yaddle from The Phantom Menace

ROTJ: Add Howard the Duck to Jabba’s Palace

^ 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.

👍 Welcome to the site!
Your edit sounds pretty neat. I enjoy TROS for the most part, but I’d be interested to see how you cut it down so short. Also I dig the title. Could you PM me the link? 🙂

Linking to fanedits is not allowed, remove the link.

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.

Rest in peace Mr. Rinzler

Just made it past the 10-minute mark on the commentary track. I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. I’m not feeling as freaked out about recording on the mic. Sure, I still have my moments, but I’m starting to lose that fear, which is good.
