Blaster bolts clip.
I’m starting to work on ANH edit. New title: “The son of Skywalker”. Other suggestions? I don’t really like “A new hope”.
Here’s a short clip, anyway. Of course it’s made frame by frame.

Yep, I’ll do as you guys say. I started working on an ANH edit. As soon as I have something more substantial, I will post it. It’s just an edit in line with my previous edits (removing any mention of Vader being Obi Wan’s former apprentice) with some new music tracks and some small visual changes (whatever I can do with only Sony Vegas).
Yes, that is a problem. But perhaps you can crop or stabilize some scenes from these:

Then you cut to the hologram.
I think this is at least acceptable.

If you want, tell me what you think about it 😉
Interesting! Perhaps you can incorporate some fan movie footage and show them searching the abandoned base ? I’ve seen some good fan movies about Storm Troopers that might work here.
Do you have anything in mind? I usually dislike fan movie additions, but if the cinematography is quite similar I could surely add it.
Been messing around with ANH (lightsabers, millennium falcon’s interiors, Death Star, etc.)
This one still needs work, but I think it’s quite cool.

ANH Millennium Falcon’s CC.
I’d like to make the MF’s interior to look like the one from The Force Awakens. Don’t know why, but I liked it.

Here’s the screenshot comparison: http://www.framecompare.com/image-compare/screenshotcomparison/P7GPNNNX
(More blue in the room, the corridors are more yellow-ish, and Luke’s lightsaber is recolored to be more in line with Anakin’s lightsaber)
Thank you.
As I said, the DS color correction is really rough, but it is meant to be darker. I want it to look less like a studio set and more like a dark control room in space. It needs work, of course 😉
Episode IV clips.
I was just playing with ANH. Here are some tests.

This is pretty simple, but I like it. 3PO has more color, and Luke’s lightsaber is more in line with poth the prequels and the sequels.

Here’s a test with the hologram. Also, we can see some light when the camera is on Luke/Ben.

This is really in early stage, but it’s a color correction to make the Death Star control room look like the one from Rogue One.
Tell me what you think about these clips 😉
I really wanted to like this.
I didn’t.
I didn’t even manage to finish it.
I liked the dreamy short sequence before Finn wakes up, but the Battlefront footage looks awful and completely useless, and the voiceover sounds terrible. Almost all the music additions have problems, and I found Luke’s new phrases extremely boring and predictable.
I’m really sorry for this, but I was expecting something way better.
Of course this is just a test.
I love the Yoda/Palpatine duel, but this Yoda diminishes the stature of OT’s Yoda, so I’d like to keep the duel without the problem of character development.
Here it is.
Again, I really need suggestions on how to improve it.

password: faneditYoda uses Force Projection to fight Palpatine. The reason is that while Yoda is on the asteroid meditating, he’s witnessing everything that’s happening, and he hears Palpatine in his office saying: “Tell the captain to ready my shuttle. I sense Lord Vader is in danger”.
Yoda knows that Kenobi is going to fight Anakin, and if Palpy goes to help Anakin, Obi Wan is doomed. So he uses the projection to stall the Emperor, just like Luke in EpVIII.*Color Correction (not finished). Volume still needs work. Less cringe from Anakin. Shortened duel. I removed the way-too-fast parts, at least wherever I could. I tried to remove the parts where Yoda and Palpy’s lightsabers keep their contacts. Final music, which I think is kind of ok, but tell me what you think. Yoda’s voicover from previous movies or previous moments from this movie.*I liked that you cut most of the dialogue from the Anakin vs. Obi fight, it worked extraordinary well in combination with the music and voiceover.
Apart from that I think you should cut the Yoda‘s fingernails losing grip part, it is just to much physical interaction for a projection.
P.S.: I would try to remove the ray shields that protected the mustafar station and explain the massiv volcanic eruptions because of Anakins rage, this would be more fate of the universe like and Anakin would appear much more like an all powerful Chosen One. It would also suit him talking about his new powers, overestimating them and eventually leading to his downfall.
Thank you. Yes, Yoda’s hand will definitely be removed.
Also the Anakin rage thing, it sounds really intriguing. I will work on it.
What about the projection itself? Does it work? Is it believale enough? Acceptable, at least? Or is it a disaster, lol?
Here it is.

FINAL DUEL AND YODA’S FORCE PROJECTION TEST.
I’ve already tried to edit the third act many times, with previous edits.
Obi Wan - Anakin duel is way over the top.
Yoda - Palpatine is better, IMHO, because the two actually use the Force to fight each other. But Yoda’s flipping is still annoying.
So here’s my new test.

Ok, I really need feedback and suggestions.
Another short test for EpIV.
It looks awful, but with a frame-by-frame masking I think it would look cool.
What do you think?

Episode IV scene test.
Ok, right now I’m working with Episode III.
But after a long time I played The Old Republic again, and after watching its “Return” cinematic trailer I imagined the Obi Wan death scene in EpIV played in a similar way.
So here is a VERY, EXTREMELY rough test.
I simply added the original “Return” audio to the unaltered scenes in EpIV, but with a whole different cut.

Tell me your opinions about this idea. 😉
Wow, I find some of these ideas really really interesting.
Thank you very much. I think I’ll follow your suggestions 😉
First crawl.

Thank you!
I’m actually trying to add that to this edit.

Here’s the third edit of my (probably) full 1-6 saga edit.
First things first, Revenge of the Sith is one of my favourite SW movies. I’ve never been a PT hater. This trilogy is surely worse than the OT, but I never found it horrible, not at all.
I always loved the political aspect of it, the scale of these movies, and most of the acting performances (mostly McGregor, Portman and McDiarmid).
The only things that I really didn’t like about this trilogy are:
Just as with the other two edits, I’ll try to fix it.
Right now I don’t have a complete changelist, as I’m just working on the new crawl, but the movie will have a complete color correction. It will probably be less strong than the one in Episode II, because in my EpII edit the CC in some parts was just too much.
Just as in the previous edits, I’ll add other music tracks wherever I can. And I’ll try to hide the “Anakin becomes Darth Vader” point. If I will work on ANH and ESB, I’ll surely remove any mention by Obi Wan about Vader being his apprentice.
Anakin will actually turn to the Dark Side, because I don’t think it would work to kill him off before that (I am uncapable of working with VFX, but even if I could make it look like Anakin dies in the Jedi Temple attack, killing off the main character off screen would suck, cinematically speaking).
I’m still wondering about keeping or removing the Yoda-Palpatine fight scene. If I can make it more grounded, I will keep it. Otherwise, that’s gone. I’d like to keep it, because it would sound ridiculous for the strongest Jedi ever to run away and not even try to fight the supreme bad guy…
Anyway, more details coming soon 😉
Wow, that’s a whole new level.
It really really looks like it could be a prequel to the Originals.
“You’ve seen the end of Kenobi”.
Vader to Tarkin after the MF leaves the DS.
Titles: The Son of Skywalker, Reign of the Empire, The Heir of Skywalker…
I’m quite excited about this 😄
First of all, I can’t thank you enough for this feedback.
Now…
Anyway, all the music additions are from the OT, or Rogue One. The tracks during the assassination attempt, during the first part of the “asteroid” chase and the battle of Geonosis are all from Rogue One. And yes, during the second part of the asteroid chase the track is from TLJ (battle of Crait).
Thank you again! 😉
