Thanks!

This fanedit looks quite interesting:

I think it sounds great, especially since we have a new Ashoka series on the horizon

These are all stellar ideas! They all add so much while still being relatively subtle

The idea behind the lines were that you could construct them by combining words from other lines. “As you wish”, “Captain Solo”, “Skywalker”, “I want him alive”, and “bounty hunter” are things the respective characters have said before.

Off the top of my head I don’t remember when Vader said, “will come for”, though.

These days I think we can use AI tools to voice both Vader and either of the two Fetts

I’ve been re-reading through this thread, and I just want to again point out how great this idea is. It transformes Boba from Jabba’s employee to a bounty hunter on a mission who is only in Jabba’s palace for a specific reason, not to be bossed around.

So, I was thinking of alternate ways to better connect the opening scene with Vader to the rest of the first act Jabba sequence without removing that scene or ruining a lot of the mystery surrounding the rescue mission, and then this idea hit me:

Vader: The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

Vader walks away from the shocked officer and exits the hangar. Vader continues down a hallway and onto an elevator. We wipe to to Vader in his meditation chamber. His chair spins around to the face the view screen on the wall. It flickers with static and then reveals the helmeted face of Boba Fett. It appears he is within or outside Jabba’s palace.

Vader: Skywalker will come for Captain Solo. I want him alive, bounty hunter.

Boba Fett: As you wish.

The view screen flickers off and we wipe to Tatooine, where we see the droids approaching the palace.

This idea accomplishes a few things. First, we create a stronger narrative through line between the first scene with Vader on the Death Star and the entire Jabba sequence. It doesn’t take away from any of the mystery of the first act because Luke coming to rescue Han is established in the opening crawl. Plus, we’re adding a brand new scene rather than deleting anything. I think this is a clearer way to establish that Boba Fett is trying to capture Luke for Vader than to try and insert vague Boba dialogue that might just stick out. Also, Vader and Boba communicating through view screens is reminiscent of how they communicated with each other in the Holiday Special, so it is a funny little parallel to that.

Seeing that the “Extended Death Star” battle is now no longer being a thing, could it be a possible deleted scene under your Bluray Special Features?

There’s a hell of a lot of work that would be involved in recreating that whole scene in HD and i feel it would be time best spent on working on finishing the trilogy, so it’s a no i’m afraid.

You could just include the 720p version that is already completed; no need for deleted scenes to be full HD

May I have a link to the 0 episode?

Thanks

Wow, ep 3 was really, really good!

Intense, brooding, well-written

I love how

Mothma uses her knowledge of her driver’s role to set up her husband as the fall guy and get the ISB suspicions off of herself

Anyone else think the torture method in this weeks episode ties into the sounds Chewie was subjected to at Cloud City?

There was a nice homage to ANH’s door slamming shut as torture begins too…

A solid mid-episode in this prison arc.

Congrats on a job extremely well done!!

I do think, however, the music has been all over the place from bad (the rock drums) to forgettable (the rest)

Oh, I LOVED the rock drums!

I like how it shows the expanding Empire using private security organizations to enforce jurisdictions outside the core worlds.

My god, the soundtrack at the very end of ep 2!

Is this the first time we hear a rock drum kit in the franchise?

It sounds amazing

Amazing work!

A spelling mistake (“Opnion”) in The Enemy Within intro text

Where is that Wedge voice from? Is it the original audio?

Just in case anything thought I had abandoned this idea, I haven’t. I took a stab at implementing RogueLeader’s suggestion, along with some preliminary color grading, and pitching up Anakin’s voice. A ton of work still needs to be done on the foley and score for the duel scene, but here is a new test video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lQvxG9rR0zDwwI6yCnMCqBs8fUDLNOXh/view?usp=sharing

I quite liked it. We need to add some traffic in the sky maybe

Using Vader dragging OWK in the fire as a dream sequence is an inspired change!

I like it

May I have a link pls

I posted this in NFBism’s thread, but also wanted to get other people’s thought on this:

How about an alternate ending to the show?

I like it !

How’s this idea?

In the beginning of the film when Obi-Wan decides to give Luke the toy, we cut in the last part of the series where Obi-Wan approaches Luke and says “Hello there!”. We then hear Owen’s voice “I thought I told you to leave us” etc and cut to a suitable shot of Owen at the homestead. “Walk with me”, then wipe to the “He must be trained/Like you trained his father” scene (perhaps change background to suggest they are still somewhere else on the farm). We don’t see the toy being returned, so it’s implied Luke still has it. Then obi-Wan continues his adventure, and we don’t see the Lars family again…

Until, at the very end after saying bye to the Organas at Alderaan, we cut back to Obi-Wan packing up his cave. He rides his animal… and we then see him check on the farm with binoculars (scene taken from first episode). He sees Luke playing pilot, implied to be because of the toy he got at the beginning. Obi-Wan then rides away and meets QGJ.

Thoughts?

This would of course means losing the “battle” of the Lars homestead entirely, but if Reva dies by Vader’s hand (as some suggest doing) it’s ok anyway

Hmm, I like the idea to a certain degree. It is fitting to kind of end with Luke before all the Leia stuff happens, so that we can solely focus on here. But! The sad thing is that Obi-Wan’s mission is in its entirety all about protecting Luke - so the film starts with Luke, and ends with Luke, is symbollic and most likely the most fitting way for it to end.

Well the film would still start and end with Luke, just that the end is the binocular shot, showing that Obi-Wan is still keeping watch
