Jar Jar’s question: I don’t think it has to do with the loudness; though, honestly, I don’t really know what it is that makes it sound different. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s that higher frequencies travel farther, so when someone’s mouth is right next to a microphone it sounds more bass-heavy than what you’d hear if you were talking to them at a reasonable distance.

I wonder how well it would work if the Justice League’s flash-forward, specifically the part where Superman kills them, replaces Bruce’s knightmare in BVS. The fact that it shows the Flash might make it clear that it’s not just a nightmare, but an actual look at the timeline they’re trying to avoid. Plus, putting that scene earlier might make Justice League’s ending feel more resolved. Although I feel like I can’t comment too much on the sub-plot since I haven’t watched BVS, Ultimate edition or otherwise, in like 4 years.

I feel like this movie would work well in 2 parts, a la Kill Bill. Part 1 ends after Stryker’s island; Cyborg reveals he has the mother box, then Steppenwolf reveals the “anti-life equation.” Part 2 starts with Martha’s conversation with Lois, then goes back to the Justice League when they talk about reviving superman, and the story continues from there.

Sherlock, I think the way the nav-tower works is that they didn’t blow it up, they blew up the power source for it, which delayed the ships taking off. Though it’s not at all clear in the movie, I’m pretty sure that was their plan all along - to just stall the fleet long enough for Lando & Co to arrive (because if deactivating the tower is enough to stop the fleet then why do they need Lando’s help at all?). It isn’t until Finn & Jannah destroy the command deck that the fleet gets stuck there for good.

Make Luke’s ghost in TROS green to “honor” the Irishness of Ach-To.

WAIT WAIT HEAR ME OUT!

We only see… what? four force ghosts throughout the whole Saga? Why not have each force ghost glow a different color?

Obi-Wan could be white
Yoda could be green
Anakin could be blue
Luke could be teal?

Or, since kyber crystals get their color from the user through the force, what if all the ghosts matched the color of the ghost’s lightsaber? Luke and Yoda could be green, Anakin and Obi-Wan could be blue, Leia could be purple. Perhaps we should move this to another thread.

I’d go that way too. I’m a franchise purist rather than an OT purist, so I’d be eager to help the OT subtly fit in better with the surrounding content.

Im obsessed with connecting them all but not in an anachronistic way like the re-edit of Obi-Wan and Vader’s fight.

If I was hypothetically able to add things the movie, they would need to work within the limitations of the year the movie was released.
If Mustafar was to be shown, it would need to be done mostly with matte paintings, and camera can only move within the limitations of the early 80s.

Agreed. If I could re-shoot Ben vs. Vader I’d try to make it more slow & deliberate, like a real samurai fight, instead of the energetic and prequel-y style of “SC38 Reimagined.”

I don’t think splitting up the Ahch-To scenes would be a good idea. In the movie, we’ve been on Ahch-To for almost 4 minutes by the time Luke lifts the X-wing. If it starts with Rey getting the wayfinder, then it’s only 30 seconds. I feel like the scene loses some of its power if the build-up to it is interrupted.

Yeah, it would require some restructuring, but it could possibly work. Just curious if people have thought about it already.

I’ve seen an edit that made it work kinda well, where she and Ben both survive and then they share an awkwardly composited hug. The problem is that so much of the movie’s last act requires Leia to be in a coma, and I don’t know how we could communicate her waking up.

I suppose it’s possible that as a moody teenager he ran away from home (the Resistance) and joined up with the wrong people for a while. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the canon answer eventually.

As someone who has read every single piece of canon media, I can confirm that’s literally the answer haha. There was a book released in August last year called “Poe Dameron: Free Fall” which detailed his spice-running career’s start and end. He initially got caught up in it because he was frustrated by how overprotective his father was of him after his mother’s death and how bored he was stuck in his boring small town on Yavin IV, so while in the only remotely interesting thing near his house, the local bar, he overheard some of the Kijimi Spice Runners discussing how they needed a new pilot (after the last one was killed) and he, in classic Poe Dameron fashion, acted like a hot-shot-best-pilot-in-the-galaxy and joined the crew as their new pilot.

So, like… The Little Mermaid but with drug dealers in space?
