Grand Admiral Thrawn

Hey Hal, any updates on your updated Extra-Stuff edits with the OG titles?

Just thinking…

• Redo Poe’s Illum line
• Maybe cleanup/redo Finn’s: “It’s the First Order, they’ve found us line.”
• An angry line for Poe about making the First Order pay after the destruction of the Hosnian System (helping to explain why they are continuing the assault)
• Potential line for Lor San Tekka (or Kylo) clarifying that it isn’t a map that Luke left to find him, but a map that leads to an ancient Jedi Temple where Luke may be, clearing up the confusion on why Luke would leave a map if he didn’t want to be found.
• Maybe some kind of line before Rey leaves to find Luke about starting an evacuation soon because the First Order is coming to D’Qar to counterattack.
• Any Leia exposition lines that could be on comms during the Starkiller X-Wing battle?
• A Maz Kanata line about having to leave soon to go settle a union dispute (TLJ connection)
• Over the loudspeaker at the Resistance base in the background “Rose Tico, please report to maintenance.”

Hey @JarJar, I posted this before. Not sure if any of these are feasble.

Hey Nev! Any updates on the next version of this project?

If we were interested in hearing endless complaints about Chancellor Palpatine, we could go to literally any other place on the holonet. It’s getting old. He won the vote of no confidence fair and square, and that’s the system we have. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Very mature Nev 😄

Andor has political themes, but let’s be real, we’re here for Star Wars. If we were interested in hearing endless complaints about Trump, we could go to literally any other website on the internet. It’s getting old. He won the election fair and square, and that’s the system we have. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“No politics; only light discussion of current events is permitted, and only in the Off Topic section. Your signature, which appears beneath all your posts, may not contain political content or social commentary.”

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:

• May 22, 2026

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:

• The Phantom Menace: Balanced
• Attack of the Clones: Evolved
• Revenge of the Sith: Dominant

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:

• “Come on, I’ll show you Threepio. I brought him home with me.”

Then only the other line would replace the one when he uncovers the Threepio.
