Hopefully he won’t mind me posting this, but I reached out to MR and he told me he unsubbed from most threads and is just keeping in touch with some people via PM.
He’s having some computer issues and will hopefully rejoin the thread once they have been fixed.
@Testing really did a lot to hurt people’s morale around here…
The idea I’m presenting is changing the angle of Tatooine and the Escape Pod so it falls in that direction and angle.
Hopefully this helps clarify your idea. I took your angle and modded it to be in the right ratio.
TM2YC did it on Fanedit.org. He titled it “Ghostbusters III.”
I saw, I’m not a fan of titling it that. It kind of ruins the immersion when you know its a reboot and not a sequel.
Hi. I don’t read all the messages of this thread, and the last time I saw TROS was in the cinema, so I have a question (if you guys doesn’t bothered to answer): In the scene of Luke and Leia training, what’s the difference between the new dialogue from this edit and the original dialogue from the movie? Just curious to know what improvement you are making on the scene, and how it helps to improve the film as a whole
We also replaced “you’ll take both sabers to Exegol” with “We’ll always be with you”. At least that’s how I remember it.
If my memory serves me right, the new dialogue should be as follows:
Luke: “There’s something my sister would want you to have…”
Rey: “Leia’s saber.”
Luke: “It was the last night of her training, Leia told me that she had sensed the end of her Jedi Path. She surrendered her saber to me and said that one day, it would be picked up again, by someone who would finish her journey. We’ll always be with you, but this is your fight.”
Rey: “I can’t get there. I don’t have the wayfinder. I destroyed Ren’s ship.”
Luke Skywalker : “You have everything you need.”
Flipped shots are always so distracting. I can forgive them for flipping one face. I’d say trim the scene but don’t flip it.
Perfection!
In other news, I’ve been playing with a new reading of the word “end” for the Leia training. I’m at the point now where I need a clean set of ears to listen to it. Let me know how it sounds, and if you think this version works any better than the other!
Old version (Version A): https://streamable.com/y02l42
New Version (Version B): https://streamable.com/6dn00mI still think this is the best version.
Great work either way.
Also agreed. The word “end” just sounds so funky in the other versions since it is being cut together. This one sounds the most natural.
I was rewatching some clips from V1, and something stood out to me right at the end - when it goes from Rey’s Theme to the End Credit fanfare, it’s like there’s an extra note in there or something? So rather than hitting the end credits immediately, it’s almost like it hiccups a wee bit? Am I imagining it?
Nope, I had mentioned before that I feel it needs to be smoothed together a little more if possible. One trick I have learned is overlapping the audio and using volume levels and fades to crossfade more and that usually works well.
Wow! That’s really appreciated. Sorry I’ve not been involved in conversation. I find it tough not contributing to an edit thats so close to finish.
I’ve honestly really missed the escapism. I hope you’re all doing good though.
Thanks guys.
How are you still active without a working computer? 🤔
Smartphones are a real thing 😉
Amazing work as always. Can’t wait!
Here’s my video, my editing software doesn’t have the proper credits transition but the point is there:

I flipped the shots of the Falcon in hyperspace and the group shot and the music lines up perfectly. You just need to add sound effects for the hyperspace shot.
If it could be rearranged some it could better imply that Leia was passing her Jedi journey, and not just her saber, to someone else. Plus by re-adding some removed dialogue from this edit and repositioning it, it could make it more personal for Luke and Leia with Rey. Just food for thought to help the scene some 🤷♂️
Luke:
“There’s something my sister would want you to have.”
Rey:
“Leia’s saber…”
Luke:
"Leia surrendered her saber to me. She told me that she had sensed the end of her Jedi path and that one day, it would be picked up again, by someone who would finish her journey.
Rey, she saw your spirit, your heart… we’ll always be with you, but this is your fight."
EDIT
“UNLIMITED fap fap fap POWER!!!”
Hal has already stated before that he just wants to include only the “Phantom Four” (Luke, Anakin, Ben, Yoda)
One thing that’s always erked me was the over the top heavy breathing.
“I… heh. heh. heh… I’m a Jedi.”
I know it’s nitpicky but I think it would make she scene a little more serious if they weren’t as pronounced in the film as they are now.
I think if it was included it should be when Vader first appears:

I would miss the Battle of Hoth version of the march during the extended Death Star battle though if it was being removed.
I just made a quick edit of the line without any word modification and it sounds fine to my ears:
“Leia had told me that she had sensed the death of her son at the end of her Jedi path.”
I still think it needs a little work but would love to replace the existing dialogue either way.
Better yet, a track with “added” music and a track without.
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.
I guess I’m just trying to find an edit that removes the over-the-top dumb moments and makes the film more tolerable than the official version.
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.
Anything to help show a passage of time would be great. Having Rey and Ben on their own for longer helps the story.
