I honestly just didn’t have much of a reason to because I love DigMod’s edit of Solo called ‘The Coaxium Heist.’
And thanks! I’m pleased to have provided for you a similar joy I got 15 years ago finding old prequel edits.
That’s what it’s allll about. Someone stumbling onto these things, fully formed, and taking it in.
You’ll love this as well as anything smudger9 has ever done.
When Han is frozen in carbonite in ESB, Lando tells Vader he has died. Vader then tells Fett he’ll compensate him if he’ll remove the body. Later when Lando tells them about the east platform, he says there’s still a chance to save “Han’s body.”
In the crawl for ROTJ, we learn that Han’s goofy identical twin has joined up with the rebels. We also learn that he is temporarily blinded due to a medical condition that flairs up now and again. They still try to infiltrate Jabba’s palace to retrieve the body, Han’s brother with them. But he ends up being more of a hindrance than anything. The group get caught and sent to be executed without having gotten Han’s body. Oh, well.
I don’t see Luke and Frodo as particularly similar. I agree this take seems like a stretch.
When Frodo settles back into the Shire, he is panged by guilt at his failure to fulfill the quest and faltering at the end. The jewel Arwen gave him becomes a substitute for the Ring, and he is disconnected from his peers. He’s a veteran, and suffers from spiritual wounds that can’t be undone.
At the end of Jedi, Luke appears to be and feel vindicated in his initiative to appeal to his father’s better nature and recall him from the Dark Side. “You were right, you were right about me.” He has his father’s blessing, and a sister to go on with. He has faced his trial and persevered, ready to proceed to the task of applying this elixir to a new generation of Jedi who will benefit from his growth.
I just don’t see much resemblance between these two, at least not at these points in their stories.
Been there, man. Have everything ready for the date you were planning and something requires reencoding and taking another day or two. It was about a year ago I was scrambling to fix a few audio issues and get Ascendant V2 out in time for Christmas.
And I’d obviously like a link once one’s available.
Based on what I’ve seen of your work so far, I imagine watching the movie and failing to notice most of what you’ve done. I mean this in a positive sense. I hope you’ll provide a description or list of changes made. (Changing the ranks of an Imperial officer’s badge is really cool, for example, even if I’d never have noticed the change on my own.)
Happy Christmas! About to cook some bacon.
There’s always room for another perspective on a customized version of the special editions. We’re building model trains, not curing cancer. If you have it in you to finish it, I’d like to see it. Or, if not, I’d still like to see what you had finished.

Is it the 25th yet??? Can’t wait to watch this. Will you be sending out links?
I see what you mean. Not sure it’s an out-and-out continuity problem, but it makes sense to include or exclude together. In the event that I revisit LOTR I will keep this in mind.
All Darth Vader dialogue is now sourced exclusively from Marty McFly in his Darth Vader disguise. It only leaves like three lines, so these are interspersed as best they match the situation.
EDIT: Actually, come to think of it, I’m pretty sure there’s a deleted scene with a handful more lines, so that should help some.
Counting the days. Such good stuff here!
We do finish with Saruman in TTT, but I don’t think the TTT Rivendell scenes between Arwen and Aragorn are there at all. I could be wrong, but I think he removed them.
I recall a while back someone putting the BOBF episodes into a more or less chronological order to slot into Mandalorian episodes. Not re-editing them, just setting a customized order in which to view episodes of both shows.
Anyone know where I can find that list?
The most important change remains unrealized: removing the “big ass door” line.
In the theater, I was like, “Really?”
I feel like I’m too close to that to really even assess it! My version uses the score’s existing break in the music, originally to accompany the kiss itself breaking up. This is obviously just as sudden but different.
I’d welcome anyone’s feedback about that versus mine.
Completely redub D-O in TROS. As part of this, replace his two lines, “sad” and “happy” with “sad beep,” and “happy beeps.”
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!
