Nah, it’s a very different look and feel for a variety of reasons. And if it were shoehorned into Ep2, then… it wouldn’t be there to do its job in the Kenobi show.

I’m not going away, but this seemed like the best place to post this thought.

I’ve been physically unable to do anything SW or fan edit-related for nearly 5 months. And honestly, I needed the break. It’s been refreshing, and I’ve found myself channeling the energy into my career goals. Not that I’ve achieved anything dramatic, but that more attention has been put on development.

Looking forward to tinkering again, but appreciate the wedge.

The DTS track on CD that would’ve been played in 1997 in theaters. The files themselves, as processed to fit with home video sensibilities by a team that included Silverwook.

The only thing better than seeing an awesome, ambitious project like this is seeing it get finished. Congratulations and I look forward to catching up!

It’s been added!

You’re… right! I’ll see about correcting that. (By reaching out to ChainsawAsh; he’ll have to do it.)

omg I want a copy! Sounds like just the thing I’ve been hoping for.

Btw, I just found out there were like 20 minutes worth of deleted scenes that were cut from the original production? Any chance of those being included in the future?

Never heard of this. Where’d you?

Looks fantastic! Very cool to see the sources be blended like that shot to shot. Can’t be easy to do.

The BluRay subtitles are updated and now available. A small tweak that doesn’t change the movie itself, just how the subtitles are presented if they are enabled. Each trilogy is a close match to the style of the burned-in, theatrical subtitles for alien dialogue. (The ST is not quite as close; it’s the right font and color, but I can’t make it more precise without creating a front from scratch.)

End of ROTS, add a line for Owen:

“Take [the boy] to Anchorhead and have [his] memory erased. That’ll be the end of it, [he] belongs to us now.”

I’m standing in line for a free burrito right now.

Nice! Don’t suppose you’d also release it in 1080p, to just get the color work.

I honestly don’t remember at this point, but maybe my commentary track sheds light on it around that part of the movie.

The answer to that is that the Rey Nobody version of the scene already has a great deal of sentence mixing, so I wanted to avoid pushing our luck with a viewer.

Glad you enjoyed it, man!

I know there’s better takes of the jango fett actor doing some of the boba fett lines from empire in the battlefront 2 game but what about lines like what if he doesn’t survive he’s worth a lot too me?

I feel I had reasonable success with partially replacing the 2004 Boba dialogue in ESB with video game clips.

“As you wish” sounds great, as I just time-stretched a good delivery from Bounty Hunter which itself seems to be styled after the original line delivery from Wintergreen.

“He’s no good to me dead,” is now, “He’s [not worth anything] to me dead.” It’s not 100% the same line, but I feel it has a little more grit to it.

“What if he doesn’t survive? He’s worth a lot to me,” is now, “What if he doesn’t survive? He’s [worth a fortune to me].” Again, an approximation of the original line but makes for a grittier delivery.

“Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold,” didn’t really have an obvious replacement, so it’s untouched beyond the same mild reprocessing the other 2004 bits have to fit in with the Bounty Hunter clips.

I found Battlefront clips had an added helmet effect too different from the 2004 ESB lines to be easily used.

It feels like a “Gotham” prequel to LOTR, where we’ll often wonder whether this or that character could become a familiar character. They’ll play on our expectations about established lore and keep us guessing.

Is Halbrand the Witch-King of Angmar? Is that kid? Is Elrond?

I can tell this show is gonna be a rough one for me. Gonna try to enjoy it as something only loosely inspired by Tolkien and see how it sustains me. While I doubt I would’ve been interested were it not based on Tolkien, I’m gonna try! There’s gonna be things I’ll want to see as it unfolds.
