Just being a little facetious, as though every update is crucially important and renders its predecessor woefully inadequate.
Sending you a PM so you can delete that pile of crap and download the latest version.

This isn’t really a book edit, even though Kerr recognizes when a change that brings it closer to the book also seems to help the film. (And when it doesn’t.)
Even so, he made changes that elegantly heightens things, especially in ROTK. Things I’d never have thought about because the movie is great as-is. I was impressed. All I can suggest is subbing these into your next watch and see what you think.

They’ve been baked into the high quality 1080p versions. So seek them out from wherever you’d gotten them before and they’ll be included.
They only work for this format, being PGS BluRay subtitles; they don’t work for mp4 files.
Oh, boy. I’ve been sick and outta commission, and as we all know the vortex maintains relative sync as long as it’s open. I don’t know how StarkillerAG managed to hijack it, but thanks for covering me.
He’s given away too much. Only vague answers if we give answers at all.
Rey is a desert scavenger who goes off to look for Luke, finds him, gets minimal training, destroys… an Emperor surrogate, and learns the power of friendship. And she’s a descendant of an OT character you’d least suspect, just for fun.
I just plugged it in, but I agree in preferring what he was able to do!

Not other than I messaged him a few months ago and he seemed not to be prepping an imminent release, but not having given up altogether. I join you in hastening it as much as wishing can.
No, it was still Lucasfilm, but with new management.
I’d like a link as well, having been reminded by the bump. 😃
Believe it or not, Lucas was pretty hands-off, not directing them. And they emphasized their reliance on “practical effects” in the marketing. It’s no different in the future that a big movie like these is probably going to have a lot of computer work, but they went for that aesthetic to at least somewhat of an intentional degree. So, CG gophers? Eh, not in the sense I know you mean it.
As has been the case at the conclusion of every film trilogy so far, it’s for all intents and purposes the end. But I suspect there’ll be more eventually. It’s never ogre.
Maybe about the same level as the OT. Believe it or not, you end up wishing there were more.
Sending PM.
Yeah, to me The Coaxium Heist works perfectly well when I want to watch Solo, but I would like an alternate version that uses the original opening. But yeah, I don’t really have much of a vision to tackle Solo. But you never know.
And the prequels have to just be done. I can’t keep reopening them up; it’s been a long time for me and those movies. My take on them has matured as much as it’s going to. They may not be replacements for the originals, but they’re complete for what they are. Although I could conceptualize someone doing a “half-assed” version that only gently adjusts the movies to a lesser degree.
Episode 8 is my favorite. You know how people tend to say ANH is great, ESB is even better, and ROTJ fell short? (Not necessarily my exact opinion.) Well, Episode 7 is good, Episode 8 is better, and Episode 9 drops off steeply.
Yes, but not in every way.
They don’t follow the broad path of the EU, unless you want to interpret that very generously up to the point that the New Republic and Empire coexist somewhat for a while.
The design aesthetic evolves the classic ‘rebel’ and ‘Empire’ look for the most part. But much like the OT, we don’t really see much of the galaxy at large and hone in on areas where war is being waged.
No Thrawn! No Mara Jade! Luke isn’t shown to have a wife or children.
Now, I am going to be a bit coy and just try to answer your direct questions.
The original cast is largely back, with few exceptions. Reunions are bittersweet when they occur, although some of the characters are spread out from one another.
Luke has a baker’s dozen students, we find out.
The main bad guys are sort of an Imperial remnant that gets radicalized under the influence of a Palpatine(like) figure.
Greetings, people of 2009!
I know this forum used to have a strict rule against posting from parallel dimensions, so I hope posting from a different point in time doesn’t push the limits too much.
I don’t want to give away the whole show, but I am writing from the year 2022, and I have seen the real, no-foolin’ sequel trilogy. It actually got made, and not only have I seen it, but I’ve digested it over a few years.
So, here’s an AMA (or “Ask Me Anything”) to get a small glimpse into the future of Star Wars. I don’t want to reveal too much, but I can answer direct questions. You must have so many for me!
I only ask that my past self sit out the conversation to avoid time paradoxes.
I don’t know how it could be done, but I think it’d be pretty nifty to replace ‘the Death Star droid’ with a K2 droid for the two shots in which it appears in ANH.
It’s the black, bug-headed 3PO that walks by as Han and Luke load Chewie into the elevator in stormtrooper disguises.
Looking good!
It seems to either literally be the 2011 mix or a tweaked version.
The biggest and most obvious issue to me is wildly inconsistent levels and feel to dialogue.
To pick one of many examples, take Luke’s line, “The Princess, she’s here?!”
In any mix from 77 to 97, it sounds just fine and fits in well with surrounding dialogue. But in 2004 and beyond it sticks out. It may sound a bit clearer or better on its own, but it is jarring in context of the scene.
Is there anywhere to download the most recent revisions of the 5.1 and 2.0 mixes for these on their own?
