Thanks for the great review and feedback! I definitely agree with a lot of those points. This edit is ~3 years old now and I’d do some things differently now, so when I get back to re-editing my ideas I’ll be making many of the changes you suggested.
Is Luke still alive somehow in the universe of this fan edit?
Get in losers
We are replacing Palpatine with motherfucking Plagueis

None of these really address the ins and outs of Palpatine’s essence and why he’s so obsessed with possessing Rey in particular
What if Rey was partially not just a clone of Palpatine, but of the fallen celestial Abeloth?
This is an idea that I tailor made for the legends cut
But the basic gist is that Rey is a clone of Palpatine and a recovered avatar husk of Abeloth
Palpatine’s spirit is tethered to the throne, he cannot risk anything happening to it
This creates a deeply troubling state of affairs
Enter the project of Rey
He wants Rey because he can merge with abeloth through her
Merging with Abeloth will allow his spirit to possess multiple bodies at once
The death of one avatar meant nothing, he would be physically immortal
This explains the teeth of empress Palpatine
Thus the Horcrux throne and the need for Rey is perfectly explained
With rey, he can merge with Abeloth and gain her immortality
No longer needing the throne
Two scientists take her and…
Is there a screenshot of these 3 Palpatine clones in the tank?

Found Palpatine’s resurrection scene for a rise of Skywalker fan edit
When will you begin writing?
Love it if you include Byss and the clone bodies
Love the use of pre-1999 EU
Are you the writer of dawn of the Republic by any chance?
Shoot me a link…hope it is Google drive
How does this edit subtly change the worldbuilding to make it better?
Ooooh…Leia sending diplomats to unify various worlds to join the resistance cause
I wish there was some magical way to make this a real thing
Amazingly fun for RPGs
Simulon will allow us to replace Snoke and Palpatine with Plagueis…complete with convincing shadows
Those is my favorite version of the film. There are some minor sound desync moments (Obi-Wan warning Luke not to go back to the homestead) but it’s the best presentation for my liking.
I think it would be nice to to cut some of Luke’s infatuation with Leia and maybe add in Obi-Wan’s theme from the Kenobi show, for Kenobi’s first appearance and after hus death.
I know this is on indefinite hold, so I may end up making those adjustments myself.
Can you shoot a link?
Mind shooting a link on Google drive
The Crimson Empire trilogy was a letdown. Excellent first part; okay second part; pointless third part which only rehashed the “resurgent Empire” trope that had already been played out by the end of the '90s instead of realizing the trilogy’s raison d’être (the last of Palpatine’s Royal Guards seeking vengeance against Luke).
Feel that it would have been better if it was the last stand of the empire
A sequel trilogy of trilogies of sort
The rise of the imperial remnant in the Thrawn trilogy
The height of the imperial remnant and the beginning of its decline after Palpatine’s final death
The fall of the imperial remnant after the fall of the last of Palpatine’s royal guards
Thanks! I like Evangelion and the sort of esoteric feelings it invoked. I think my edit does have a little bit of that same quality! Thanks for your interest.

I’m gonna try my hand in commissioning a Star Wars fan-edit called
Star Wars episode 4: trials of obi-wan
Basically plan on taking this fan edit, SC38 reimagined, and Adywan’s Star Wars revisited into one film
Kenobi is treated as flashbacks while the present day deals the events of new hope
Might even use deepfake tech as well for two versions, one with Alec Guinness and one with ewan mgregor
Can you imagine Plagueis in episode 9
Truly exciting times ahead
For those wondering…this will be canon compliant and will serve as a replacement for watching the actual show
Meaning that if you have a media literacy class and for one reason or another…you want to show Star Wars, you can pop this into a Star Wars marathon and your kids won’t be confused
Plagueis can now exist in the sequels
Darth Plagueis can now appear in Rey nobody edits that nonetheless want to preserve the theme of Rey rejecting a dark heritage but don’t want her to be a Palpatine
This is a primitive technology as of now
But…it won’t be long before it advances enough to make it easy to edit Darth Plagueis into the sequel trilogy
Here’s what we end up with applying my logic for bestowing ‘Episode’ titles onto things, from the ol’ Legends/EU. Only include things that substantively forward the Skywalker story, and only things which at the time of their release are chronologically later than the latest “Episode.”
Thrawn Trilogy
Jedi Academy Trilogy
The Crystal Star
Corellian Trilogy
Thrawn Duology
New Jedi Order series
Dark Nest Trilogy
Legacy of the Force series
Fate of the Jedi series
CrucibleSo, who knows? Maybe we’ll be at this for a while, despite TROS nominally being the end of the saga. But for now, I’ll enjoy looking forward and speculating about the movie itself, and let this thread lay fallow for the most part.
Replace crystal Star with dark empire
I assume Plagueis could be another divergence
Maybe in the DC timeline…Palpatine was less patient and killed Plagueis much sooner
Whereas in legends…Palpatine let Plagueis live till the last possible moment
