Hal 9000

lol omg, I didn’t even think of that. So glad I didn’t miss my chance to say that, with this post, my count is…

The day has finally arrived. I’ve been a regular around here since 2003, and my involvement in this internet community is second to none. Something about the jigsaw puzzle that is Star Wars compressed us into a haven that attracts creativity born out of a sense of need.

Thanks to all of you for the continual space to come day after day and work on things together. Times have changed. We once were passing around DVDs of LaserDisc rips, comparing combing artifacts. Hell, ESB Despecialized 1.0 was a decade ago. We’ve all aged a good 18 years since then. Some of the smart people around here weren’t even born at that point. That’s pretty crazy to weigh out. Members have come and gone. I’ve tried to stay out of drama, and there are those I miss, though fortunately FE.org has retained many of them.

With this 9000th post that doesn’t mean anything other than a high number that happens to match my username, I want to acknowledge my enduring fondness and appreciation for this forum and what it’s meant to me for a rather long time.

Just so weird there was such a buzz over… literally nothing.

That… works pretty well, just harmonized voices saying one thing together. Seems very ROTS.

I agree, Burbin, about the scene keeping Palptine in our consciousness, especially given the removal of “blow up a planet they like” with Pryde.

I don’t know what any of that means.

I think that’d be pretty abrupt. That scene has two good places to be but can’t be in both.

That’s an interesting approach, and I could see that working very well for that chunk of the movie. My only concern for the moment is that we’d have to do something with the transition between Rey and Finn’s conversation about her vision to BB8 stumbling onto D0, as V1 has the establishing shot of the Falcon being towed and then the Palpatine-Kylo conversation. I wouldn’t been keen on reinstating the “Chewie’s alive” spoiler scene.

I can’t even keep track anymore, but I think originally Kylo says he “knows where she’s going” as she goes to ~Endor, but I don’t think it’s ever explained how.

The film is black and white until the moment we cut to inside the Mos Eisley cantina.

I’d hate to lose that forest shot from poppasketti but we’ll see whatever works best. Thanks, Nev!

TPM is, as I believe Ebert said, “a pretty good bad movie.”

Palm Springs - Groundhog Day gets a worthy successor. I’ve wanted to see more movies that take that premise and play with it.

R2-D2 is constantly trailing heavy exhaust throughout the saga.

Ben seeing Maul die with a persistent desire for vengeance probably strengthens his perspective in ROTJ that Vader is irredeemable, and if he had ‘turned good’ it would’ve undermined that.

They are aggregates, approximations, analogues. Useful and valid enough, but nothing is truly objective; it’s an oxymoron. Without a viewer, there is no perspective.

Yeah, it’s like:

Rise of Skywalker fan edits, brrrrought to you byyyyy COVID-19!

A client of mine I recently took on claims to have caught all of them, and transferred them over so they alllll live on the same save file.

Everything is subjective. There is no objective perspective.

FanEdit.org has a discord too, might have better luck using that.

Got it, thanks! I figured it was ripped from ROTS but this is better, clean.

Uncle Owen gets barbecue sauce on his face while eating.

Aunt Beru puts tiny CGI creatures in the food processor rather than vegetables.

I think it works well enough. Can you please send me the audio? Ideally separate from the final clip? If you could export all channels if you added reverb, that’d let me implement and adjust further if needed.

Change Palpatine’s scream while falling down the DSII spire to “Noooo!!”

Just to be clear, because I do plan to give it a try, you mean the sound he makes while making that spin lunge at the group of four Jedi?
