I remember seeing a clip of Rey having a dream with Ahch-To Island in this reedit. Does anyone know what happened and if Hal9000 had removed this scene?

That wasn’t ever part of this project but is part of Nev’s Starlight edit.

Nice.

Yeah but it’s like “Saruman as he should’ve been” and stuff. Redeemed, restored, the way he should be when he died. I guess. Also what would be good for Luke to see. Like if you lose a loved one and see them as sort of a fulfilled version of themself without ailments or bad habits. Again, I guess.

Kind of refreshing to overhear little kids talking about “lifesavers.”

Here we are!

Did all the humans in Star Wars have a common ancestor on a planet or did at least some of them develop independently?

That wasn’t my original idea! It seems like I failed to make a proper note about it. I can’t for the life of me find or remember the guy’s name, but it was a user here whose screen name started with ‘Aa.’ Maybe someone reading this does remember and can point him out.

But thank you! This’ll be a treat to follow.

It wouldn’t work very well for the order of sequences that I use. But if I was just making that tweak to vanilla AOTC it’d be no problem.

Wow, very niche and interesting. Love it so far.

PM MR. I don’t know if it was him, but that’s my guess.

Although, my ROTJ added vocalization sounds from Temeura Morrison to replace those originally used for Boba Fett as he gets killed.

But yeah, I don’t want a Hayden ghost in ROTJ because it just doesn’t work to have a different actor in the same movie play the character, and because I feel it sends a message that Anakin merely regressed. Plus the footage used is dogshit.

I include some cover artwork with the edits.

R2 fires a projectile weapon to destroy R5-D4.

I’m doing that too. 😃

All right.

Andor - Wonderful slow moving show

Clone Wars (2003) - awesome to experience as the real-time bridge between Ep2 and Ep3

Mandalorian - fun cultural event, ran out of steam after a while

Obi Wan Kenobi - Not actively bad but is a slog; much better as a movie

Book of Boba Fett - big pile of meh, but was enjoyable enough to sit through once; low rewatchability

Bad Batch - perfect idea: side characters who aren’t directly related to galaxy-shaking events going on weekly missions

Ahsoka - as someone who doesn’t really appreciate the 2008 clone wars series all that much, this was sort of boring for me

The Clone Wars (2008) - it’s hideously ugly, and the political and war themes feel weird and disjointed when poured into children’s cartoon format

Rebels - similar as above, but Ezra is so grating and I’d approve of it more if it didn’t involve previously unknown Jedi

Resistance - just not for me, unwatchable as an adult

If you watch one episode of Andor per week starting next week, you’ll be right on pace to start season 2 when it releases, and of course barrel right on into this fan edit as a capper over the following three weeks.

This one is just an idea, and not sure how I feel about it.

Seems like it’d be a little cleaner from a continuity perspective for Luke to have a different response when Ben tells him his father was a Jedi who fought in the war. Luke repeats the lie from Owen about him just being a navigator on a freighter.

Instead, I’d think Luke ought to react with something like “wow my dad WAS that Skywalker.”

So what about his first line of the scene being “No, my father wasn’t the one who fought in the war, he was a navigator on a spice freighter.”

Add crushed soda cans laying around the Lars homestead and garage. And when Luke makes it to Ben’s house, change his line to say that his father was a navigator on a Slice freighter.

Had an idea for a small tweak, which I implemented in my editor. I swapped two R2-D2 sound effects during the scene where Luke meets Obi-Wan, so that he now responds to Obi-Wan saying he never owned a droid with a “sad beep.”

WOW. That’s hard to believe that it came from 4K77, such a clean image. Great work, man.

Well that certainly is a thing.

In ROTJ when Luke is walking the plank into the sarlacc, R2 uses his rockets to fly his saber down and hands it to him.

They’ve already been part of my Ep3 edit so we’re good there.

When Boba Fett mugs the camera in the SE Jabba the Hutt scene in ANH, add a line, “You’re next, hehehe.”

Literally came to this thread to post this exact thing right now.

So instead, off the cuff: On Endor at the Ewok celebration, as Luke starts to turn away from the ghosts Anakin changes from Shaw to Hayden. Luke turns back, to make sure he wasn’t seeing things, and Anakin changes back. This repeats a few times before Luke catches him in his Hayden form and the flash each other a playful smile.
