Hey Hal, any updates on your updated Extra-Stuff edits with the OG titles?
Slowly coming along, but may be a while. Starting with AOTC. I chip away at it. They’re still coming, though.
Pretty good!
Honestly, I’m starting to get very fearful right now.
What are you talking about? Are you ok?
Sorry, I just feel extremely worried about all these things that kept getting in the way of the Revisited edits being finished.
Pretty selfish viewpoint, no? Not “I’m worried about adywan” but “I’m worried I won’t get to see Revisited.”
To be fair, it’s entirely possible that Adywan has been working on Revisited for this user’s entire life. 😉
Assuming it’s not an April Fool, that’s wonderful to hear! Congratulations 🎉
That’s basically what I plan to do unless anything better comes along before I get around to it.
710 pages now! Holy crap!
It’s that can-do attitude that’ll get us to 711.

Just wanted to let anyone know that I’m planning to watch season 2 of Andor one episode per week despite the release schedule, so I won’t be in this thread until July 9th.
Heartwarming.
Although… a sock? Shame, gonna miss him after the ban. 😭
That’d work if nothing else.
To keep things involving the effort to revise the prequel trilogy edits one more time and include an alternate set of them to be more ‘maximalist’ and retain the original titles mostly within this one thread, I wanted to ask:
Are there any higher quality sources for the deleted scenes? Currently I have AI upscales that are a few years old. Nothing wrong with them, but I don’t know if there is anything better out there.
Also, I could still use an AI line to replace 3PO’s line in ROTS while taking off for Mustafar, “I think I’m beginning to get the hang of this flying business, hmm.”
Everything else I think I can get through myself, at a snail’s pace.
It’s really good!
The only nitpick I have, is that the smooch at 0:46 is a little bit too loud. It sounds more like it would do in a parody of kiss, than an actual kiss.
I can make it quieter for sure; thanks!
Actually, when it is quieter it just sounds like a weird sound or like it’s an editing mistake. Works fine without it. There’s no kiss foley at all in the scene otherwise, save for Padme’s little gasp. So… no sound for their now-slower pull away works.
How’s this look and sound? I think it’s a big step up, thanks to JoyOfEditing!

Depends on if the requisite components ever come into existence. I could simply use the bits in the current version worst case, if it looks abandoned.
Vader wears Padme’s necklace during ROTJ to show that the family re-connection has really gotten to him.
I do like this change and it seems to be an improvement over what I’ve been able to do. (I’ll remind you that most of the ideas themselves from my Ep2 edit came from predecessors.)
I’d like the raw footage and audio for this one if I could get it!
Yes.

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.
