I haven’t ever seen any fanedits but I’m looking to start with these prequel edits! Any chance I could get a PM also?

Hi!
These fanedits are amazing. I remember watching your V1’s back when you first did them.Do you by any chance still have the new edits you did?
Thanks in advance

That’s some nice work with all three clips.
That picture looks great for that scene. The BluRay is cast in a deep blue. It looks like you’ve cut it in such a way to favor BluRay-sourced footage, but it shouldn’t be noticeable unless someone has the original scene committed to memory.
Actually i hardly used Blu-Ray sourced footage for this scene. The shots below are the only ones i used from the blu-ray. The rest is all 4k83 sourced
I assumed the re-editing was to minimize using another source. I guess it’s a testament to the cleanup and color correction you’ve done. 😉
I only take issue with Star Wars fans’ opinions when they say they would the OOT not to ever be released alongside the ‘official’ versions.
It looks like the comparison gallery listed in Harmy’s project thread is gone thanks to the final demise of Google+. So, this is actually now a fair question.
I wish I would have thought of that before finishing mine up. Oh, well. The droids throughout the PT is sort of a problem no matter how you slice it.

Quick idea: paint out the droids during the birthing of Luke and Leia.
It’s the only time R2 and Yoda share a room, and gives some additional ‘plausible deniability’ to R2 about the finer details of Luke’s family tree.
Wow, that’s really something! I’ll bookmark this and read it over properly. Kudos for that insightful piece! It’s right in our wheelhouse.
Didn’t The Clone Wars feature Darth Bane talking to Yoda? I never was a big fan of the series but watched that portion as I was delving into it based on a tip from smudger9 that there was some new Liam Neeson dialogue that could be culled for my Ep3 edit.
Anyway, wasn’t the appearance of Bane only a vision or phantom being animated by someone else? My understanding of Lucas’ intention (circa 2005+, at least) is that Qui-Gon (re?)discovered a way to eternal conscious persistence via the Light, which the Dark was incapable of providing. Light-siders could (potentially?) live on past death, but dark-siders couldn’t.
If that’s true, and J.J. isn’t stepping away from that, I’d say Palpatine’s role in IX would have to be merely an appearance rather than the being himself. I also cannot fathom Palpatine and the Death Star in the ocean being a coincidence.
And how the hell is there that big of a section of either Death Star still extant? Those things each blew up so thoroughly that I find it laughable. Circle any one of the specks that fly away from the center on your screen and tell me that it could have fallen into an atmosphere and survived to be that big.
I’m overall not encouraged too much by this trailer. I hope J.J. didn’t just implode in on himself while writing this one.
JEDIT: This might be sort of a drunk ramble sort of comment, but I’ll be especially frustrated if the Sequel Trilogy as a whole turns out to be flat or bankrupt because its announcement was what prompted an obsessive part of me to pour countless hours into doing my newer prequel fan edits.
Y’know, in the Summer of 2012 I watched the OOT and was happy not to follow it up with the prequels at all. I only did so because my wife wanted to, and we watched Q2’s edits. I shrugged afterward, and resolved to just revisit the OT every few years. I was happy; I was fine. Then in October Disney changed everything and I felt like I had to satisfy my tireless perfectionism by going back to the prequels. If the ST ends up detracting from the OT rather than at least enhancing it, it’s gonna really suck for me.
God damn those prequel movies.
Part of me agrees with captainsolo; the sentiment he expressed undergirds my cautious hope.
It’s probably more about it being recognizable than desirable to keep coming up.
Given how “”“meta”"" the ST has been, Luke’s words (presumably to Rey) in the teaser could continue this. The message would carry on what TLJ seemed to state, that these stories, characters, and archetypes will always be with us, the audience. As we leave Narnia and return to our lives, hopefully they will spur us toward greater things. We are broom boy, and it seems like TROS will send us off by concluding the ST’s ‘meditation’ on Star Wars itself, and its meaning for all of us. Seems like about the only satisfying way to go with one final film, given the direction 7 and 8 took us.
With the 2004 release of ESB adding a line of dialogue to Palpatine and TLJ’s “Death Star tech,” the only film (in their current official presentations) NOT to invoke the Death Star in some way is The Phantom Menace. 😦
Uh…
D’oh! You got me; I hang my head in a moment of shame.
And TPM’s climax involves a Death Star-ish sort of explosion, but I’m referring to the ‘Death Star’ as such. So yes, I suppose Ep1 is the only one free of an appearance or name-drop. (In my fan edits, this could be said of 1, 2, and 8.)

Queue up incessant theories about Rey Skywalker. My prediction is that she will take up the name herself, though not a biological descendant. I like that idea; after all, don’t we all do that to some degree?
Is he back? Where’s that picture from?
Intriguing title, to say the least. Which singular Skywalker is being referred to?
a 55(!) hour marathon preceding Avengers Endgame
Crimoney, what’s the cost for such a privilege?
Just for the doc.
I suppose having the galactic state of affairs be somewhat of a parallel to things in the OT does offer something fittingly parallel for Luke to forsake, especially related to a new call to adventure with his father’s lightsaber.
I can see how TLJ, being written by someone receiving TFA as a complete entity in need of a follow-up, would want to set it up like that. It gives Luke something to rise to and comment on the phenomena of galactic civil war itself, transcending the concrete manifestations of it, just as Luke does so with himself, becoming a legend and departing this mortal coil.
I’ve always been happy with stereo. For both your ears.
The more important question is what font the title appears as in the crawl.
Well, this is the man who presented the world with a film titled ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’
