It’s weird from a continuity perspective, which JJ notes in the commentary track.
For my part, it’s a “Deliberate Creative Decision” which doesn’t interact with the goals of this edit.
He’ll probably burn the cameras Trevorrow had ready to go.
His neck is just too distracting. Besides, he’s nowhere to be found in Episodes II and III.
Team Even Piell all the way.
What do you think?
You shut your filthy mouth.
FWIW, I look forward to hearing as much as you care to share about your editing choices. And you have whatever permissions you feel you need from me to do anything you’d like.
Well, even though the title isn’t going to be changed, if I were to do the other four saga films so far with EU-lifted titles, we’d have:
Rebel Dawn
Shadows of the Empire
Heir to the Jedi
The Force Unleashed
But, I think ‘The Force Awakens: Starkiller Edition’ works well for what this is. I don’t consider it an extension of the Hal9000 prequel edits, just manifesting an elegant idea from multiple places on the internet after the movie came out.
I know he doesn’t have any plans to, as I’d also like to see that.
Go Home and Rethink Your Life Edition
Ouch. Too real, man.
The Killing Ball?
Planet Death
Giant Hurt Ball
The Deathticle
It’s not a Hobbit edit, though I would have loved to see Kerr tackle it. (A 3-in-1, I mean.) I’m very happy with the Maple Films version, as things stand.
Kerr will unveil things as he sees fit, but it’s a LOTR project, not recreating something from the past but completing the project, though both of us have evolved our views substantially in the past decade. MY role has been merely one of consultation, and my actual ‘editing’ work has been mostly tweaking it so as to simultaneously publish a companion set.
Enough said about this for the time being. I am screening it for friends in my home, so unless you live in Kansas City you’ll find out in due time. Meanwhile the momentum increases toward The Last Jedi, with V2 of TFA:R hopefully being finished ahead of it.
I agree; sounds good. I apologize for my terse interactions in this thread lately. I’ve been working on something LOTR-related in conjunction with Kerr that I’m pretty excited about, with TFA:R V2 being in the “waiting on” phase.
The title of the film itself will remain ‘The Force Awakens,’ but I’m open to a different tagline as V2 has gotten more ambitious. I’m partial to “Lone Star Edition,” though I am aware it’s tacky.
No, but I hope Frink eventually does.
ALLOL
“If we can destroy that oscillator, it might de-stabilize the core and cripple the weapon.”
Seems inordinately difficult with no easily discernible benefit. Shrug thingy
I think that’s very good the way it is; I agree with placing her reaction at the end, as the deleted scene itself has a very abrupt ending cut.
Good stuff going on here. Looking forward to baking at 350 degrees.
Vizzini said:
If he falls, fine. If not, the sword.
If he includes it in time with the other material, fine. If not, it won’t bother me and will merely fall outside this project’s scope.
I agree, having Padme die seems like the only option given your philosophical approach.
We could pipe in audio from Neil deGrasse Tyson over the First Order’s or Resistance’s intercoms explaining that one star has the power to destroy ten thousand planets.
But yes, the idea is that, apparently, one star does not equal one firing. And as far as this edit goes, there’s nothing to say that it wasn’t built for a single-use against Capital Planet.
I about died laughing at reading this this thread so far. Not out of derision, just the presentation and anticipating that OT.com welcome pending. I’m curious what you’ve done with the films, but the hype train is going too many miles per hour to stop and let us know.
I wonder if KK650 would care to include Adywan’s Emperor for ESB.
Looks and sounds great to me. Fantastic job! We’re getting closer.
Thanks. 😃
I join the rest of us in mourning the loss of the PT:R, as nothing seemed beyond your reach to us. I can’t fathom throwing myself into this sort of thing as you have, and I wish you contentment and joy with your OT:R final products once you reach that happy day. At least now it’s in your sights, and you’ve cut your work out for yourself.
