I suppose in regular English it would be: “Have you read them? They were not page-turners.” So his question doesn’t imply he hasn’t read them, it’s more of a “Hey, nothing lost.”

Thank you for making me no longer hate that moment. Here I was thinking Luke was a lazy ass Jedi Master who didn’t bother to read the manuals.

Has anyone done an edit for... Ghostbusters 2016
Time

Is there an edit that “saves” this film for fans of the original? Something that takes an over-the-top ridiculous dumb comedy movie into a serious movie with some comedy that doesn’t treat everything as a joke or every male character as an idiot? I would love to give this movie a try but I don’t think I can bring myself to watch the original.

Just made a quick mock-up. Here is my order:

  • Poe, Finn and Chewie Receive the News
  • Kylo Ren’s Redemption
  • Poe Talks to Leia & Lando
  • Finn Talks to D-O
  • Reunite & Artoo Restores Threepio’s Memory (trim out R2 reporting a signal)
  • Finn & Poe Talk About Occhi
  • Palpatine Informs Pryde (with Star Destroyer establishing shot)
  • Rey & Luke’s Scene
  • Resistance Track Rey

PW: fanedit

JEDIT: I think learning from D-O that Palp’s plan is for Rey being alive, and then the NEXT scene he talks to Pryde about Rey coming to him plays out extremely well. Then we cut to Rey deciding to go followed by the Resistance tracking her ship and following. In my opinion, it flows so much better. Hopefully y’all agree…

I like the way you think DZ-330! However personally, my only concern with that order would be you lose the transition from Chewie howling to Kylo standing alone on the Death Star, which I would be really sad to see go. I just think it works quite well and was pretty impactful the first time I saw it in cinemas.

How about this way? I may try mocking something up.

Focus on Leia:

  • Poe, Finn and Chewie Receive the News
  • Kylo Ren’s Redemption
  • Poe Talks to Leia & Lando
  • Palpatine Informs Pryde

Droids:

  • Finn Talks to D-O
  • Reunite & Artoo Restores Threepio’s Memory

Rey:

  • Finn & Poe Talk About Occhi
  • Rey & Luke’s Scene
  • Resistance Track Rey

May I propose a different order that seems to be a little more focused and hopefully allows less jumping around to other planets and topics:

Focus on Leia:

  • Poe, Finn and Chewie Receive the News
  • Poe Talks to Leia & Lando
  • Kylo Ren’s Redemption
  • Palpatine Informs Pryde

Droids:

  • Finn Talks to D-O
  • Reunite & Artoo Restores Threepio’s Memory

Rey:

  • Finn & Poe Talk About Occhi
  • Rey & Luke’s Scene
  • Resistance Track Rey

There is a way to provide meaningful criticism and debate an issue without doing it in a rude way.

Could you give me an example of how to do that when it comes to fan edits and how I respond to specific changes?

Instead of just complaining how it ruins the original film and how it is “wrong” to do, try explaining your points in a more logical way. Make your case without being rude to other people’s ideas. Change A could actually hurt the message of the original film for Reason A, Reason B and Reason C.

Part of fanediting is about changing the message of the film itself. Some changes may not just be to change the effect of a shot but part of the story, and you need to get better at respecting that faneditors do not care about the original message, they are trying to make their own message with the given material.

When you are making comments explaining to someone what a plot hole is, that’s degrading. Anyone on this site knows what that is, and by doing so, it makes you look like a dick.

Think of how a parent calls out their child for doing something wrong, or something similar with authorities and people who’re unintentionally breaking laws. I’m sure you guys have good intentions, but I’m just trying to let you see the bigger picture here.

This explains enough about your issue.

TestingOutTheTest said:

Again, so you guys’ll listen.

You need to understand that not everyone will agree with your criticisms and being rude won’t help your case at all.

@TestingOutTheTest

You act like your ideas are better than anyone else’s and then turn into a defensive ass when anyone calls you out on how you are rudely criticizing something.

You are the definition of an internet troll and it amazes me that the moderators of this site have let you go on for so long.

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

Downloading now!

A quick “pro-tip” to anyone here:

  • Import the files
  • Install the sync app on your computer
  • Use local sync in the app to download directly to your computer
  • If you have a VPN program, when you connect to it the program changes your computer’s outgoing IP and allows you to bypass restrictions
  • You may need to close and relaunch the program for it to work but any active transfers will start where they left off!

Thank you for all of your hard work @Adywan!
