id love to give this a watch. concept wise i dig it. Making a new hope fit with the rest of the lore has always been something ive wanted to do.
Thank you.
I think Vader’s conflict is incredibly important for his character.
Ok then. I’ll keep it 😉
Are you going to do TESB?
Yes, I started working on it before deciding to go back to ANH.
But ESB is a pretty conservative edit, a mixture of what I like about the last official versions (some colors and picture quality) with Adywan’s Revisited effects (Hoth, Bespin, Yoda’s mouth etc). And also some CC I made to the 2020 version. I mean, it’s not like I could do something comparable to Adywan, so it’s just a collage of things I like, lol.
In ROTJ I’ll maintain:
-the removal of Leia/Chewie’s arrival to Jabba’s Palace,
-Palpatine arrival to the Death Star as the opening,
-other saga movies’ soundtrack added,
-Vader being less doubtful about the Dark Side (but less edited than the original… for example I’ll keep Palpatine asking to Vader if his feelings are clear). The fact that Luke believes Vader can be saved, and Palpatine’s worries, are enough for the audience. But around this point I’m not 100% sure. I could keep this as the original movie, if I’m really the only one who doesn’t like Vader being doubtful.
Plus:
-Jabba’s palace exterior will be taken from The Mandalorian (if it looks ok)
-Jabba’s palace interior music the first time we enter will be changed, if possible (I hate the original)
-Endor’s planet view will be blue-ish again, or at least not that hard green I added in the edit
EDIT Actually, I’d like to know if others want me to keep the original Vader’s struggle untouched. I won’t go back on other changes, because those are some of the cornerstones of my edit, but with this…
As always, TOP: original - BOTTOM: edited
The video is named “True Rise of Skywalker”. Yeah, ok, but no.
I totally appreciate the effort, but the trailer music doesn’t work, at times there’s the original music over the new one, the added Yoda voiceover is odd, the Force “possession” (?) is cringe, Obi Wan turning his head is bad-looking, Anakin’s face looks strange.
I liked the shot where they all raise their hands, and it looks like Anakin is the one who pulls his lightsaber into Rey’s hand. But I don’t know if it’s usable (Qui Gon…)
Again, I respect the work behind it, but if one publishes something he must be open to criticism. I would never be able to do something like that, but I didn’t like it.
Thank you all for feedback 😉
Oh, ok! Thanks, I’ll work on it
Any thoughts?
It’s a little much.
The idea in itself or the execution?
Awesome!
And yes I agree. It’s like trying to preserve the twist that they’re on Earth in the new Planet of the Apes trilogy. It may have been shocking back then, but it’s just not going to do it anymore in this day and age.
Thanks!
Also, I’m thinking about getting back to Vader being Obi Wan’s former apprentice. After many edits I’m kinda tired of trying to keep the Vader-Anakin plot twist intact throughout the “chronological” saga.
Any thoughts?
this sounds awesome. am most interested in your extra shots of the battle of exegol. any updates on that?
i know there’s a B-wing shot that happens after the camera pans away from the horse riders on the star destroyers, and ofc that “deleted” ILM pan space shot too.
cant wait to see how this turns out
I finished Exagol a while ago but I’ve restructured the entire ending so It’s tricky to explain or upload the whole 47 minutes. It’s pretty awesome now though. It has a lot more weight and tension at the fact they could lose and the cavalry doesn’t come in until the last minute.
I’m not sure I’ve seen that deleted pan shot. Are you referring to the one Hal used? If not, do you have a link?
Really hyped by this edit.
Ciao, ti suggerisco di provare a scrivere in inglese nel forum, così ti è più facile farti capire.
For everyone else: he’s basically saying that he loves Hal’s TROS edit and he’s working on the Italian audio track. But considering that Hal and other editors added a few extra lines (Kylo’s, Knights of Ren’s, Palpatine’s message, etc) he’s also trying to record those lines in Italian, even though he doesn’t seem to have adequate tools in order to do so.
Ciao Michele!
Good luck on your project 😉
I don’t remember how long ago it was but I finally got around to color-correcting Endor to look more alien:

Wow, it gave me Felucia vibes from ROTS…
Can’t wait to watch this. Good luck with your final steps

It’s pretty obvious from the misaligned table that you moved Tarkin.
Yeah, but it’s something that you notice only if you watch carefully. The shots lasts for something like 2 seconds.
Yep, the Imperial March is added the first time we see Vader in the Tantive IV.
About the Sith word dropping somewhere… I don’t remember if the deleted scene with Tagge naming the Sith has a good enough audio to make it usable. Otherwise… we would have to take lines from the Prequels, but I don’t know how or where it could fit.
The Galen Erso wanted hologram is too fanservicey, though.
In V1 there was a kind of Imperial propaganda video. Maybe I’ll go back to that…
Thank you 😄
EDIT: Eventually I think I’ll do what you asked some time ago. Keep the movie as it is and change things only visually.
Some comparisons. I know that some people won’t probably like some colors, but… well, I do, lol.
TOP: original
BOTTOM: edited
What differences are there going to be between V1 (what’s listed on the front post) and V2? And do you have an ETA for V2?
Hi! As soon as I’ll restart work on this I’ll update the changelist.
I don’t know about the chest lights, mostly because I’ll have to see if I’ll use that edit or which parts of it 😉
