Grand Admiral Thrawn

One more point to add before I cave in… Luke throwing the lightsaber and then using it at the end is symbolic, but using the green makes his story come more full circle as the last time we saw him use it on screen was the event that brought about his self-imposed exile and the events in this movie. Luke using the green at the end resolves the problems he had even before Rey presented him with the blue. In my mind it would be more symbolic that once Rey picks up the blue after Luke tosses it away, it remains her’s until the end as it symbolizes that she will need to move forward on her own.

I am looking forward to your edit, anything you release will be loads better than what we actually got.

I agree with you, but to play devil’s advocate, the blue one symbolizes Luke accepting Rey’s request for help (and his “role in all this”) that he rejected by tossing that same lightsaber aside at the beginning of the film, so changing it to the green one would lose that bit of symbolism.

To play devil’s advocate to your devil’s advocate… I think it is more symbolic for the green one to be used as it shows Luke has grown past his mistakes and is ready to take on the role “burden” of being a master once more and has “let the past die” as he overcame his moment of weakness and will eliminate Kylo for the right reasons now. I get that the blue is a hint that he isn’t there but the footwork on the salt and the wink at C-3PO do that enough, since Threepio can scan life forms and would know that he wasn’t actually there, hence the wink. Since I’m ranting on… I would like to see Hal include Luke’s shoulder dustoff in his edit. I get that it is a little over the top, but I take it that Luke is so done with Kylo’s s*** and wants to rub it in that he is more powerful, adding even more to Kylo’s anger.

Do you plan on leaving Luke using the blue lightsaber on Crait? If Luke’s goal was to make Kylo angry and distract him, what better way to do that than to use the lightsaber that Kylo hates so much? Almost seems like a no brainer and I’m still confused as to why Rian chose the blue one. I do not have the skills to edit it myself but maybe one of the awesome editors here can tackle it and do a rotoscope and hilt replacement.

Here’s some new ones.

A Very Rough rotoscope on Anakin on mustafar.

I’m honestly not sure which one is the original.

Goes to show how pointless this edit is. The right shot could be found in either environment with no rotoscoping required.

Im just doing this for Fun that’s all.

Just ignore him, he likes to be cool and pop up on threads just to tell people how “useless and stupid” their ideas are. Your ideas seem fun and creative and offer a different take on what could have been.

Google Drive download works properly. 😃

JEDIT: Windows Extraction and WinRAR do not work to extract, you must use 7-Zip on Windows-based computers.

I’m not sure if this had been mentioned before, but I would like to see Luke and Yoda’s scene moved directly before Crait. All hope seems lost for the Resistance until Luke realizes what he needs to do to help them. A problem with this could be it going from night to day to sunset very fast with the Luke scenes.

Hope all is well Hal. I posted this in another thread before but your edit of TLJ is the one I’d be most excited for. Here is the supposed deleted scene list for TLJ that leaked out:

• Alternate Opening
• Paige’s Gun Jams
• Luke Has a Moment
• Poe: Not Much of a Sewer
• It’s Kind of Weird That You Recorded That
• The Caretaker Sizes Up Rey
• Caretaker Village Sequence
• The Costumes and Creatures of Canto Bight
• Extended Fathier Chase
• Mega Destroyer Incursion – Extended Version
• Rose Bites the Hand That Taunts Her
• Phasma Squealed Like a Whoop Hog
• Rose & Finn Go To Where They Belong
• Rey & Chewie in the Falcon

JEDIT: Target ad mostly comfirmed these as well as saying “Phasma’s Death” so it is unlikely she will be back for IX if that helps make your decision for her character.

Possible deleted scene list has been making its rounds online. It seems some are throwaways while others may be good to use. Let’s hope for no overlaid timecodes this time.

• Alternate Opening
• Paige’s Gun Jams
• Luke Has a Moment
• Poe: Not Much of a Sewer
• It’s Kind of Weird That You Recorded That
• The Caretaker Sizes Up Rey
• Caretaker Village Sequence
• The Costumes and Creatures of Canto Bight
• Extended Fathier Chase
• Mega Destroyer Incursion – Extended Version
• Rose Bites the Hand That Taunts Her
• Phasma Squealed Like a Whoop Hog
• Rose & Finn Go To Where They Belong
• Rey & Chewie in the Falcon

Are there any shots in this movie where it’d be worth it to try to rotoscope the necklace in?

If any, the secret wedding at the end would probably be the best narrative-wise.

I interpreted the force ghost scene with Yoda as him being stronger in the force than Obi-Wan and being able to physically appear as a ghost greater than Obi-Wan could; which is why he could react with the world more too. He still looked “off” to me though and I think a color correction would help with the scene.

I know it’s late of me to comment, but this is clearly not the thread for your own personal plans.

You seem like a nice fellow…

I was replying to a posted comment with my thoughts and how I would go about it if I were to. I did not know that it was a crime to share opinions on a forum website based on sharing opinions. In the future, I won’t post my own personal thoughts for any edits I may or may not create on another edit’s thread.

Better? 😉

I think it’s time to address the blue elephant in the room. 😉
How is Lapti Nek being handled? I would like to see it stay in Revisited but that Sy Snootles puppet is god awful, and so is the newer CGI version of the scene. I came across a hybrid someone made on YouTube, it’s an interesting idea that’s tolerable.

Lapti Nek CGI

Would anyone happen to have a link to A New Hope: Revisited? I have only been able to find it as multiple files. Any chance the whole movie is on 1 file?

Is this what you need?

I would just do something similar to the Blade Runner 30th Anniversary Set, but one for each saga movie. Each version of the films restored in HD 1080p with 5.1 audio

Original Structure:
Disc 1: Theatrical Cut (1977 / 1980 / 1983)
Disc 2: Special Edition (1997 & 2004)
Disc 3: Blu Ray (2011)
Disc 4: Bonus

Prequel Structure:
Disc 1: Theatrical Version (1999 / 2002 / 2005)
Disc 2: DVD Version
Disc 3: Blu Ray (2011)
Disc 4: Bonus

This movie needs to stand on its own. We know the events of Rogue One happened. We don’t need to be reminded every 5 minutes.

So is the 720 version in the folder now not v2.1?

I’m not even seeing it in the folder. I don’t think it is actually up yet.

Hal 9000 said:

The 720p suffered a problem, which I saw when I woke up, though I know its cause (subtitles cause it to not encode entire video) so I’m reencoding now (and will mux subtitles in afterward). Hopefully no more than a day.

JEDIT: Handbrake takes a long time to encode, but the results are unparalleled.

Sounds fair to me. I’ll check again later. Hope all is going well so far with the prequel trilogy re-edits!

Any update on the 720p?

I agree that it should be the Death Star. I’m just not a fan of the prototype, but I can live with it 😃

I’m against the prototype Death Star, if anything, have the Death Star, but a LOT less constructed. Maybe just a “+” design, just the vertical and horizontal axis. Leave it up to the viewer on what is being built as it leaves some intrigue as to what is to come in RO and the OT.

So if the necklace payoff is reinserted in Episodes 1 & 3, a close up shot could be created by one of the awesome editors here of the necklace on the ground of the landing platform on Mustafar before Obi-Wan and Padme leave, implying Padme left it there while Obi-Wan and Anakin are fighting. You could then cut out Padme saying there is still good in him if you haven’t already. Then, in terms of watching as a saga, it could imply that only Luke believes his father can be redeemed and Padme gave up on him.

Will you also be hosting Versions 4.3 when completed on Google Drive like Versions 4.2? That was by far the most convenient way to download the edits. It took me forever to get Versions 3.0 when I first came by your edits.

Awesome news Hal. I am very excited for Version 4.3.

Just a small suggestion, but in the crawl for Episode III, the first sentence reads a little weird to me with where the “nearly” is placed in there.

Original:
After years of civil war, the Separatists have battered the faltering Republic nearly to the point of collapse. The fragile government is crumbling under attacks from the ruthless Count Dooku.

Suggested:
After years of civil war, the Separatists have battered the faltering Republic to the point of near collapse. The fragile government is crumbling under attacks from the ruthless Count Dooku.

Also, will the weird-looking “G” in APPROACHING be fixed with SirRidley’s crawls? Haha
