I skimmed across your two BOBF edits, and I really like the structure of them. They would make a great two-part miniseries, like a special two-night event for Boba Fett as a reprieve from the rest of The Mandalorian. Each part seems to have its own identity, and looks like they’d work well that way. It’s only too bad that part 2 has a much longer runtime, as if it were done officially they’d probably be closer.

Still, I do love the way it seems to be structured, as slogging through BOFA again would feel like a chore.

Assuming you don’t have any ideas I disagree strongly with, and would like to publish your efforts in this way, I’d be happy to take what you do and incorporate them into a future (“official”?) revision of CoD itself.

Are there any particular moments you noticed it?

Wow, those are incredible!

Wow, you’re right about that!

Hmm… it’s a very quick line reading. Awesome that it can even be done at all. How’d it sound to just have “You were right”? I don’t suppose there’s any other way to prompt it to deliver it differently. I’d be happy to mix it in and just see how it fares against what poppasketti did.

Celebrate the love, guys. Yub Nub is the height of semi-diagetic music in SW.

If he was in the Empire I feel like we would have heard of him by now if he had any real power or relevance. I think Hux himself really was that figure.

There’s always room for something like this in SW. Maybe he was more at the planet level of politics and influence.

Very nice.

I really don’t think those sound seamless, so I don’t imagine attempting anything with that that isn’t called for. Does Poe sound good using that?

There was a prominent and charismatic figure in the Empire whom resembled the style of our world’s Adolf Hitler. When General Hux delivers his impassioned speech on Starkiller Base, he is imitating him.

What’s the context for that?

I have watched the movie every year since either 2010 or 2011, and plan to indefinitely. It’s my grounding meditation for the year (pun intended).

If I do this the rest of my life, 0.0192% of it will be spent rewatching the movie.

If you’ve been to therapy, what was that like? Helpful, unhelpful, a little of both?

What’s your experience with therapy been like? What would you like for it to be like? Anything you wish could be different about it?

A thread for all things therapy. (I’m thinking like psychotherapy, but I guess whatever form of therapy like physical therapy or whatever is cool too.)

I copied a picture of some pasta but I won’t paste it here.

What… is different about that clip?

And I’m open to doing a V3 if there’s enough that can be done for one. The biggest thing I remember wishing was better was an explanation for the Star Destroyer fleet explicitly being stashed away (and I guess modified) old imperial leftovers Palpatine had as a contingency.

Or even something to suggest the navigation tower allowed them to be piloted automatically, or that he needed First Order personnel to occupy the fleet and use them. Anything to remove the silly plot aspect that his followers we see a roomful of on a hidden, barren world smuggled pocketfuls of random crap over thirty years to build scale replicas to the T of old school Destroyers on a scale the galaxy had never seen.

Thanks for saying that, and I’m glad you enjoyed it. The subtle “Find me” was a reference to poppasketti’s edit, as it works well whether you just finished watching that one or not.

Ben Kenobi was doing hard drugs while on Tatooine.

The protagonist is the most annoying character in each trilogy.

Seeing kids use a hand gesture of holding a cell phone with their whole hand to mime talking on the phone instead of the thumb-pinky thing you’d think of or do.

Also, today I pivoted away from my own car as I got close to it with the thought, “That can’t be my car; it’s got a carseat in the back.”

The jetpack trooper who explodes dramatically in TROS has his screaming and wailing replaced with a long, digitally extended Wilhelm scream.
