AI Star Wars Fan Edit Ideas Megathread

I would love to see that Spartacus.

When deepfaking started getting good, I had planned to attempt this using a lot of the Hayden interviews that he did for the Obi-Wan Kenobi show. But A.I. at this point would be so much easier, and less awkward looking.

Especially since he needs to be slightly transparent and have a blue hue. It would be a lot easier to avoid the uncanny valley that way.

The hardest part of that, really, is would Padmé really be okay with splitting up her children?

I’d almost think a scene of Yoda leaving a room with a bedridden and clearly saddened/distraught Padmé would be the way to go, and then use AI to edit Yoda’s line, “The mother agrees, hidden, safe the children must be kept.”

Edit Bail’s line to say we’ll take in Padmé and raise her daughter. Also, something about Padmé’s severely weakened health would help.

Use the existing Boleyn footage and run it through AI to better integrate it into the Alderaan environment.

The Rise of Skywalker: Heirs to the Throne (WIP)

Did a slight rewrite. I think this is a great idea, but I really think the sense of family/inclusion really ties into Rey’s TROS arc more than the failure/fear aspect of it.

The Leia thing is the hard part because it cannot be recent. It needs to be something older for it to make sense in context.


REY: I keep failing! Everyone will be safer if I’m gone. I’m never leaving this place. I’m doing what you did!
LUKE: I was wrong. Being alone is not the answer. What are you most afraid of?
REY: Myself.
LUKE: Because you’re a Palpatine. Leia knew about your dark visions.
REY: She never told me. She still trained me!
LUKE: Because she saw your spirit. Your heart. Final lesson Rey, some things are stronger than blood. Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny. If you don’t face Palpatine, it will mean the end of the Jedi. And the war will be lost…

Honestly this all sounds exactly like what people said when the prequels came out. Something like - “None of the sets are real, it’s all green screen CGI slop! Old fashioned filmmaking is better than digital, end of story.” It’s no wonder George has the extreme position on AI that he does, he’s heard all of this same stuff before and is likely sick of it.

No point in arguing. Some people will always have a closed mind when it comes to AI. I work with it every day and have seen both the benefits and negatives of it. Give it 10 years and revisit it. I remember when people were arguing that digital art was not actually art because it was done on a computer and not by hand…

Good! Maybe we can turn it a bit more into a slight about him getting demoted from a Commander to a Captain?

Might I suggest:

“Of course you do. I understand. But Captains don’t get-to-know this plan. You’re impulsive. Dangerous. And the last thing we need right now. So stick to your post, and follow my orders.”

Or you can even say “But the demoted don’t need-to-know this plan.”

The problem with that is it isn’t his (Ben’s) sacrifice, it is Luke’s choice:

“I saw darkness. I’d sensed it building in him. I’d seen it in moments during his training. But then I looked inside, and it was beyond what I ever imagined… darkness had already consumed his heart.”

“I’d seen every path before him. Each one led to the same pain and destruction. Leia, Han, and countless others would die because of what he would become. I saw no future in which I could save him. But for a moment, I thought I could stop it…”

Luke ignites saber.

"It passed like a fleeting shadow, and I was left with shame, and with consequence. And the last thing I saw were the eyes of a frightened boy whose Master had failed him…”

This is a great idea! If this could be added to @Poppa’s edit and remove the Luke matrix scene it would be an 11/10 fanedit for me.
