This, and also looks nothing like the death star hangar. also, why would stormtroopers just be standing in formation like that?
Here is a quick mockup I put together. If Ady wants to do something like this I think it would look a lot better, but it is his edit and choice though!
Hey Ady! Glad to hear you are on the mend!
Have you ever considered restoring the Han versus the Stormtroopers with the original 1977 version?
Part of the comedic charm of the original version is the Stormtroopers realizing “Hey… we out number him! Why are we running?”
But then in the 1997 and onward edits, they just bait him into running towards a big room filled with more goons. In my opinion, it loses a bit of the humor that the original had.
Just curious!
(The screengrab does use the recomposited shot from SW:R)
I agree with DZ that might be a good idea. Although I don’t know if whoever rendered those out for you is still around.
I think it was SirRidley, but I don’t recall seeing them around here in a while.
I think all of these are perfect additions. Even further… thoughts on having the crawls using the original titles to separate them from your main edits?
EDIT: Still keeping the updated crawls, just restoring the original titles 😉

I’m alive! And so is this project!
I’m editing a Christmas project update video- it was supposed to be out on 25th, but due to circumstances (I’m in charge of the family dinner menu), it will be out sometimes before New Year’s eve.
In the meantime, enjoy those stills. And I’ll explain why I was mostly offline as well.
Merry Christmas everyone, and may the Force be with you all!

WOW. TPM has never looked so good
The Chernobyl mini-series (2019) is a shockingly powerful and deeply disturbing real look at the actual truth of the disaster. Everything about it was both well-crafted and respectful to the real people who were involved. The sound design was stunning, as were the visuals and the sheer haunting awe of it all. A must see for fans of history, biopics, audiovisual terror, and for those select few that have a strong stomach. I highly recommend it, but with a caveat that you only watch it if you are certain that its right for you.
My co-worker’s wife is from Russia and lived there when the disaster happened. She said that out of all the Chernobyl-related things she has watched, the 2019 miniseries is by far the closest to the actual events that happened and the atmosphere of the country and people that lived there at the time.
Plus, you can tell they are older in it and that it was shot a lot later than the 2002 footage. It just sticks out and doesn’t blend well, and the scene actually serves a purpose in Obi-Wan Kenobi and I feel it isn’t needed here.
I feel this is what I’d like to see. Not really sure where else they could take it either:
Star Wars, Episode II: The Approaching Storm
😄
DZ-330 has kindly offered to host the file once I’ve finished it.
I was talking about putting on my Plex Server, not Google Drive! But if Hal isn’t able to host for some reason I’m sure I’d be able to get something set up to help! 😉
Discovered I have a water leak and black mold in my attic… fun.
What a joke. It’s time to clean house at Lucasfilm.
My thought is… now that the 4K is out he is replacing his downloaded Disney+ footage and replacing it with source quality. That’ll likely take some time to complete…
Wow that looks good. Can’t wait to see more!
thanks
That color grade looks great so far from what I’ve seen. Really brings it more in line with the rest of the PT. Phantom has always just looked off for some reason…
probably because it was shot on film, while the rest of the prequels where shot on digital so they have much more of a neutral grade, which is what I’m going for here.
Can’t wait to see the finished product. Any other fun VFX plans you’re thinking of?
Wow that looks good. Can’t wait to see more!

Hey @NeverarGreat, hope you’ve been well! Any updates on this project?
Wouldn’t that have been a twist!
Kylo leaving with the Resistance on the Falcon after Luke helps to redeem him and Rey staying and taking control of the First Order with her dark side powers unleashed.
TLJ ends with Ben and Leia reuniting.
Looks like it is missing on the Google Drive…
That’s literally explicitly about Jedi and Sith.
Depends how they do it. A movie about people discovering the force for the first time without the mention of Jedi, Sith or lightsabers could be a cool concept if done right.
If they wanted to do something truly original, they wouldn’t have any Sith at all. Or maybe a Sith that we’re not familiar with, and no Jedi.
That’s why I’m most excited for Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi film, in the case of doing something original. Technically, it won’t have Jedi in the traditional way, but a small group of people discovering the force and how to wield it seems interesting.
Would it have been though?
Likely not, but if it was, would it have gotten a Season 2?
Exactly… when this show was first announced, I think there were a lot of people who were thinking of it as a “Young Palpatine” show focused on him being a Sith Acolyte ploting his rise to power. Like Game of Thrones for the Sith.
What could have been…
