I did see these, and they’re awesome by the way 🤤, I was going to use them if I couldn’t find a set with the “Episode #” logo set along the bottom. But awesome job nonetheless Ash! 😃
Hey guys, so I have just finished my latest Re-Org of my collection, with all of Hal9000’s latest editions of his edits (thanks Hal btw). But I have run into a problem (darn OCD). I would like if possible, to have posters for Hal’s Prequel Edits that more closely resemble the official releases, so as to give more cohesion to the collection, and look more “official” in that respect. I have included a picture below to better illustrate what I mean. Any help on this would be great!

So I have (with much difficulty) restrained myself from rewatching both TFA and TLJ until Hal took a crack at them. I can remember in the theater during TLJ whispering to myself “It’s ok Hal’s gonna fix it, Hal’s gonna fix it” I know that sounds like a lot of pressure, but I knew if anyone could do it it’d be you (can’t stop, won’t stop watching Ep.3 LOE). But where pray tell, might one find such pieces? Is Spleen no longer safe???

I loved that Rey is a nobody
…And we know this for a fact? Just because some creep says so, does not make it true.
This is very true, and I would say this only adds to story. TLJ is very much so the polar opposite of ESB. So many echoes to that film thematically, but they’re turned upside down brilliantly.
Eh I get that you’re excited about Rey redefining what means to be a Jedi but isn’t that exactly what Luke did/was expected to do post-RotJ??? I mean, they literally picked his character arc, re skinned it and just gave him anew character arc to fit in with the new Luke. So, in a way, Luke’s also just plot device. Only in a way though.
Can’t really use Luke to forge a new path if the story is this far into the future though can you? I get what your saying, but we needed these new characters to continue the story, unbound by what came before them.
After viewing TLJ, I knew immediately that I would be wrestling with how I felt for a a long time. I realllllly want to love the film. Thematically, I love the direction of “letting the past die” so that the saga can go into a new direction and evolve beyond the characters that both grounded and caged the series for too long. In this vein, I think it might be the best story to come out of Star Wars since ESB.
I loved that Rey is a nobody, Snoke too. Would I have like to have a little more back story on him? Sure. But Kylo snuffing him out to take full control of his own destiny, will serve only to be his undoing, and foreshadows some amazing poetic justice to come later. Rey too will have full control of her destiny, unbound by the limitations of the “old order”, she will carve out a new path of what it means to be a Jedi, and I am so excited to see what happens next.
Visually, the film is stunning. Snoke felt alive, the action scenes were full of tension and excitement, much of what I loved about Rogue One. Puppet Yoda sucked sure, but this was our fault for jumping down the throats of CGI Yoda to begin with. That being said, watching Frank Oz control Yoda just as he did during Empire was so powerful for me. Every move and mannerism harkened back to Empire, and I couldn’t help but feel at least a little bit giddy watching it. I hate the Porgs but my annoyance with them was echoed by Chewie so it kinda balanced out.
What I hated…
-le sigh- The parts that I loved about this film is not over shadowed, but comes close by what I hated about it. The humor is so Disney it hurts. In fact, most of, if not all of what I disliked about the film can be summarized by the term “over-Disnefied”, it hurts so much… Everything from the Porgs, to the casino planet sequence, to Super-Leia, to the Blue Milk coming out a boob… (I loved Blue Milk btw, thanks for ruining that for me Disney)
I understand that a younger audience needs to be reached, and the scene were the kid force grabs the broom, holds it like a lightsaber, whilst looking to the stars is a powerful one, and reminds me why the kid in me still loves both Star Wars and Disney.
The one joke that I absolutely loved however, is the grass tickling that Luke does to Rey “-Gasps!- It’s the Force!” I’ll give it to you there Disney, I was dying haha.
All in all, I think I liked it. The parts I hate about it are what the kids are going to love, and had I watched this as a kid, I have no doubt in my mind that I would have nothing bad to say about it.
I eagerly await Episode IX where (I hope) that we get less Disney, and more of the thematic elements that make Star Wars such an amazing experience that fuels the passions that makes me care so much for a fictional story set “a long time ago in a galaxy far far away…”
Hey Hal,
So after watching Rogue One, I decided to re-watch Labyrinth of Evil, and the 9000 Series of New Hope. Let me just say that I have never been so satisfied with how cohesive everything is! Things that I thought might jeopardize the continuity between the three films isn’t an issue at all! The whole thing flows very nicely and I love the reworked sounds on Ep III and the preservation of some of the “good” CGI on New Hope.
Thank you so much for your hard work, your versions of these films are my standard for this franchise.

FanEdit doesn’t have torrent links. Anyway I could get those?
Hey Hal,
Spent wayyyy too much time tonight reading about your edits on I II and III and I absolutely MUST have your most current work. I don’t know if fanedit.info has the most current, but if so, I’ll use those. Keep up the good work.
PS, have you ever thought about doing anything with the OT? If you have an edit of those that you’d recommend, I’d be greatly appreciative.
