The differences between the original and SE endings are too great to cobble 97 audio to fit the GOUT.

Not an oversight, just doing what I intended from the mission statement.

OP is current

Sure! In 2013, before I was resolved to doing new edits, I explored just cobbling together L8wrtr’s edits with a few things of my own. Sure would have been a lot simpler! Lol

I appreciate the thought you’ve put into it, but I’d prefer for TFA:R to remain as it is, sticking pretty close to the original movie outside it’s main couple aims. I don’t particularly like going straight from the escape to the ‘electrical overload’ bit, but it works well for what Nev is going for in his.

I really don’t remember. Sorry. Although anything you care to do to bring them into BluRay shape I’m in favor of.

I can’t fathom why Compressor’s BluRay video stream output baked into an mkv would cause these problems. But I don’t really have a way to test it.

That’s discouraging to hear, but I don’t have any advice. 😐

Apparently $30 is how long I have to hold out to adopt a new technology.

I chucked the (not very reliable) optical drive and kept my 1TB HDD.

Incidentally, I just installed my first SSD into my MacBook Pro. Restored from my backup, and started her up.

Oh my God, it’s like a brand new computer! This will be dramatically less frustrating to edit with.

Thanks for saying so, and I’m always glad to hear these are being enjoyed. Ep3 can be a doozy for people who enjoyed the first two, so I’d be curious to hear your reaction to it as well.

I just liked it when I saw it from Nev, since it reappropriated footage that was cut. My thought process wasn’t really much more than that.

Or a movie!

V4 is uploading to the Google Drive right now, same place as before. Once I have the chance I will work on getting it elsewhere, too.

TLJ has everything we need.

A hyperdrive malfunction kills everyone.

I’m planning to try doing that.

(OT.com): “We held out to the end.
But the fan editing community has lost all its hope. TROS will have no deleted scenes and is frenetically paced. The spark is out.

A nerdy silhouette lumbers in

“Hal.”

“I know what you’re going to say. We changed our avatars.”

(Hal9000): “They’re nice that way… OT.com, I’m sorry.”

“I know. I know you are. I’m just glad you’re here, at the end.”

“I came to face TROS. And I can’t save it.”

“I held out hope for so long, but I know a satisfying conclusion is gone.”

“No story is ever really concluded.”

Hands OT.com a bottle of hard apple cider

(FE.org): Hal9000.

Walks out onto the salty tears of disgruntled fans.

(TROS): Stop! I want every abrupt scene transition we have to optical wipe at that man.

Scenes fly by at a breakneck speed, nearly as fast as within the movie itself

(Disney): That’s enough! Do you think you got him? A puny fan editor is nothing, our goal is to punish the fan base within that mine.

… blah blah blah …

(Hal9000): Every word of what you just said was wrong. Star Wars fan edits are reborn today. The collective metaproject is just beginning. And I will not be the last SW fan editor.

Smash cut to YOU laying into place a tricky audio patch to an edit point inside a NLE

I would like to apologize for the following.

If I had way more free time than I do, it might be a fun (if ambitious) idea to do a novelization of that script.

Nah. I actually like the quick Mustafar opening. (I mean, if it has to be quick.) He kills people to get a thing, and we understand it’s to lead him to his next destination. Starting directly with Exegol would only make it more rushed.

I guess I could send those to you if you like. But I ended up doing a lot with them. A given scene, or shot, might have 33% of one LUT, 75% of another, and 20% of a third.
