Well, not if we make it look like the original prototype looked like that and remove that hologram from Ep2.
Oh, and I guess if anyone with the ability desires to make the Death Star under construction at the end have its dish located along the center axis to match the plans as seen in RO and ANH, I’d welcome it.
Just sayin’!
Probably deliberately silly.
I have been working on something, and it’s nearly ready to be released.
I decided to reissue Cloak of Deception, The Approaching Storm, and Labyrinth of Evil with remastered ‘deleted scenes’ using the footage provided by bryantmh as described in the thread linked to below.
While the result remains imperfect, it’s a large step up and the scenes feel like they posture themselves to blend in better with the main movie. I’d like to think I can set these prequel edits down without leaving anything on the table. I don’t think there’s much else anyone could do to make them more presentable in a theater (given that those deleted scenes are gonna be there).
I do not plan to make any real changes beside this. For COD, I added about half a second of pause after the new 3PO line immediately prior to the podrace sequence which was too quick in V6. For TAS I tweaked the sunset kiss effect and swapped the establishing shots before and after the ‘Padme addresses the Senate’ scene. For LOE I plan to reinstate the line “FOR DEMOCRACY” (because recent U.S. political shenanigans have given me an appreciation for it).
I would once again like to thank MMP, poppasketti, Catsailor73, ChainsawAsh, EddieDean, Josanael, RogueLeader, and Neerb for their help with the new(er) computer. Without it, this would not have been possible even if my older one hadn’t bitten it.

Actually, I was rereading through some of NFBisms’ ROTS project and reminded of a few things. I am just entertaining the idea and feasibility of moving Anakin’s conversation with Padme (“Have faith, my love”) to before Anakin enters the Jedi Temple to slaughter the Jedi. To me this is an absolute improvement from a script perspective. One thing that would need to be solved to make it possible is what to put in that scene’s original placement.
I’d be happy to hash this out with you all and see if its something that would be desirable and doable.
Nah, man, sorry. But I get it; it was me who removed them and me who put them back after all.
Is it just me or does that logo feel similar to Buzz Lightyear’s logo?
HelloGreedo pointed out something fascinating in his review of Chapter 15; https://youtu.be/Z2j2A_an09w?t=313
Mayfeld and all the stormtroopers salute with their left hand instead of the right. Now that could of course just have been the fictionalized SW version of it, but he also points out that the stormtrooper armor is mirrored, which you can tell from looking at the mismatched knee-pads/joints on the costumes. So for whatever reason they’ve mirrored several shots in the episode. Maybe the sense of direction was broken at some point, i.e. Cara and Fennec looked left while standing on the mountain ridge while Mayfeld & Din drove right, thereby causing some disorientation for the viewer or something like that.
Y’know… I kinda like the old school feel of doing stuff like mirroring shots like that. It’s part of moviemaking and need not be feared.
From an outsider’s perspective, I’d say yes as long as it doesn’t feel like it merely continues on with something tangential after what felt like the finale.
I’d check settings in the client and disable a VPN if you use one. (Should be safe for myspleen stuff.)
I think he meant the YouTube clip, despite its name.

My only issue with her is that it, like with other aspects of TCW, feels incongruous with ROTS.
Is that petty? Probably.
I need him to shout “Noooooo.”
And I hope the two don’t actually encounter each other in the present during the show. ANH strongly implies and feels like they’ve not met since Vader “left” Kenobi. It should be a 20-years-in-the-making encounter.
Hmm. Well, I wouldn’t choose to pit the two together in 10BBY, but maybe they’ll do it in a way that feels congruent.
Will you also be reissuing the alternative ending cut for LoE? Will they be dubbed V7?
Yes and yes. I’d call them V6.1 or something but I have always just used straight numbers for clarity’s sake so I will here too.

Well, it’d probably be better to have their permission first, though obviously nothing would really prevent sniping the footage.
I emailed them to scope out their sensibility about this kind of thing.
Another random question: do you think this Ashoka-centered version will see Yoda and R2 in a room together? Just wondering bc I don’t know the show well enough.
Is all the footage available? I think that’d be real nice to include in this “half assed” project. I’d totally do a V2; it’d be easy.
Does the Microseries depiction of the immediate precursor to ROTS conflict with TCW’s? I certainly wouldn’t mind essentially having Volumes 1 and 2 of the Microseries bookend this project, but for all I know the Palptine kidnapping thing might fly in the face of TCW.
Definitely looking forward to seeing this and getting caught up in light of the slew of new TV we’re in for.
Well, that’s a lot of TV.
It does feel sort of scattershot, with series happening all over in different time periods. With the old EU, there was a sense of there being a post-movies main storyline that would be pushed forward here and there.
I really wouldn’t mind having a Rey series to carry the main storyline forward throughout all this. But I’ll look forward to most of these announced shows, for sure.
No, all my current and past projects are 1080p.

The slightly updated version of ESB is on its way up, as is the audio track by itself for anyone who wants it. I will remove the audio track file eventually, but it’s there if you already downloaded the full edit already.
