I used the original version of the scene for my ANH project, mainly because Greedo shooting first is a total fuckup.

I did emulate the subtitles pretty well using Harmy’s and Catbus’ projects as reference.

I decided not to replace the flash frame of the Greedo dummy with a better looking frame from earlier, as Darth Editous had done, because I avoided non-harmonizing-OT-and-SE changes, though I wonder if that one might’ve been better to do.

One thing everyone can agree on is Greedo got SHOT. You don’t see blasters do that kind of damage very often. Greedo’s brothers (Slotho, Envio, Prideo, etc.) had to have a closed casket funeral. His childhood friend, Walz, committed suicide from grief.

Very interesting. I never knew anything about lightman other than that he existed. And I only was aware of that because Adywan said something about potentially adding a similar idea to ROTJ:R.

Turns out at the end the entire story was all a dream being had by a Star Trek character.

I like that idea but won’t use it myself. I think it feels off for Kylo and Rey not to sense Leia’s death when they do.

lol YES

Redub Boba Fett in the Holiday Special to sound New Zealandish.

I’ll leave it. I’m positive I made that edit before to test it out and decided against it. No reason to reverse it and I’m ready to be allll done with TFA.

Eh, I don’t really feel a pull to remove it. There’s a few little things that don’t amount to much but is probably okay. I don’t feel then need to cut too much out.

You could do updated commentaries if you’d like, Hal.

If I was going to recommend books to someone who has never picked up a SW book before but was interested, here’s what I would suggest that doesn’t require much shoehorning into the current canon.

Revenge of the Sith novelization: THIS is the definitive backstory of the OT. Puts the film itself to shame.

Darth Plagueis: Cool story tying the prequels together

Master and Apprentice: Wonderful exploration into the Jedi religion, and more interestingly, the strain between spirituality and dogma; I really enjoyed this one for that.

Splinter of the Mind’s Eye: It’s good! It has historical value, too.

Shadows of the Empire: Fun story between ESB and ROTJ

Glove of Darth Vader series and Dark Empire: Glean what you may from the source material for the ST.

The Approaching Storm: For people that enjoy being bored

Bloodline: Remedial ST context

I, Jedi: It’s good, and a glimpse into the post-ROTJ EU without breaking your tether.

Labyrinth of Evil: Pretend its early 2005 and get into the hype headspace.

Phantom Menace novelization: It’s pretty good, and you learn Dooku’s true age.

The Secret History of Star Wars: Wake up, sheeple!

Star Wars Episode I Scrapbook: Nostalgia

The Visual Dictionaries: So good

OT Choose Your Own Adventure books: Hopefully you’ll get farther than me on your first read. I got killed by sand people on Tatooine after the very first decision.

If you have the Drive link, the lossless audio output will be in the labeled folder, as six mono files.

Thought we were talking about MagnoliaFan for a second.

What’s that?

Yeah it’ll address that flicker thing. And I haven’t adjusted the color (for most scenes) from the BluRay.

Does the lossless audio output work for you for that? It’s fully baked in and part of the mix. I can send the separate raw audio if you need it, though.

That and a very subtle tweak when we see the Vader helmet to hint at the Emperor’s theme.

I don’t plan to do anything else about it. I’m okay with it being that way, as any left turn hints would maybe feel weird and sort of weirdly anachronistic. It’s like the OT having twists that have dubious retroactive buildup. I dunno. But I’m okay with TFA like we got it. It and TLJ have a couple subtle hints that weren’t there before.

I don’t think I’ll do that.

And yeah, I bet there’s a fair bit of things in those 2 commentaries that would be twinged with sadness now.

Holdo hasn’t met Poe before TLJ, so I don’t think that’d fit well. Rose probably wouldn’t yet be anywhere but in the definite background, like an extra. It’d make more sense to put her sister in somewhere.

Just fixing a persistent video glitch, and removing the holochess cameo to say I did something else. Lol

Just so everyone knows, I’ve got some all-consuming business to keep up with in my personal life so I won’t have a lot of time to dedicate to going about this. I will still release V2 and the Rey Nobody edit, even if it takes time and ‘the right day’ here and there. I also hope to get the slight revision to TFA out the door.
Thanks for your understanding. I do the easy part, but you all are keeping the project going and I know V2 is going to be incredible for it.

Happy to.

No one looking up at the destruction of Hosnian Prime from Maz’s castle seemed to have any issue identifying what was happening. That explanation just doesn’t fly.

And I do feel similarly about lightspeed skipping. Maybe it’s just me being an insufferable dork, but I do.

All this is in the FAQ at the root of the Drive directory I send people, so anyone else knows.

He also gave some specific footage of Luke that almost totally removed the blue hue, and I overlaid that with the original to find a good amount for the blue glow.

If Skenera could re-de-blue the scene once jonh’s work is done, that’d be great.

Rey is self-aware. lol

But I do like that idea! RogueLeader is a fan editing genius.
