Hi. No, I won’t add it 😉
Hi. No, I won’t add it 😉
Updated changelist
May I also have a link please?
It sounds so interesting, and the added fanvideo of the duel works pretty well!
A chancellor with unchecked power altering the constitution whenever he wants to stay in power forever? Yeah, no government has ever worked like that.
Can you truly call that a working government?
Counterquestion: Is the Republic in ROTS a working government?
This whole scenario in this movie reminds me of the dying days of the Weimar Republic. During that time the parliament had little power and the chancellor was ruling with emergency powers authorized by the president, until he had enough and appointed a new chancellor.
This sounds almost exactly like the Chancellor appointing governors to bypass the senate in ROTS.
Now after Hindenburg died, Hitler took over and was now chancellor AND president. And it took only a few months until he had crippled the constitution to a point, that it barely deserved the name. He arrested many political enemies and suspended a number of articles and thus abolished all personal rights. After that the parliament had to surrender their legislative power to him, it’s important to point out that armed forces were present when the law was passed.
There you have your amendments to the constitution. With that in mind it’s really not that much of a silly line, but more of an expression of what state the Republic is in.
It’s more similar to the last days of the Roman Republic, when Augustus basically centered all power while keeping the Senate alive (and calling himself “primus inter pares”) as a facade.
Plus (without opening a discussion here, that’s the last thing I want) I think that line today is even more actual than it was back when the movie released. In Italy (I have a huge interest in politics, and I know some members of Parliament) the Parliament is being completely ignored by the government, thanks to the pandemic. Both last governments basically exploited every small clause in the Constitution in order to overrun the Parliament, which at this moment is basically powerless.
Lol, I’m sorry, I didn’t read that. Anyway, interesting project 😄
May I have a link, please? I’m trying to do something similar with ANH.
May I have a link aswell? I already loved the previous workprint, so anything that enhances it will be awesome, lol
These Falcon shots have the exact same color correction that the old one had, btw.
Some other comparisons.

May I have a link to both of them? Thanks!
Edit released.
PM me for link if interested.
TOP: original
BOTTOM: color corrected
Of course. I hope it’s just a matter of days 😉
I tend to enjoy all of Star Wars. I grew up during the prequel era, and I loved it almost as much as the originals. And even though I don’t dislike the sequels (I like TFA, love TLJ and I really enjoy Hal’s TROS edit), the sequels are a mess.
I tried to edit them into a single movie some months ago, but gave up some days after, because it was going to be tooooooo long. But some days ago I watched Peregrine’s edit, which inspired me quite a lot.
Premise:
COMPLETE CHANGELIST (all credits for SFX to their creators):
Am I satisfied? Yes.
Is it perfect? Hell no. A LOT of things happen. But I still think it works. There are many movies where countless things happen. End credits start at 2:24 hrs, so it’s not even one of those 3 hours long edits. Rey, Kylo and Luke still have their arcs, and Han and Leia, even thought their screentime is reduced, have a purpose in the story. Poe and Finn are downgraded to side-characters, but this was inevitable.
I’m still not sure about Snoke and Palpatine. Considering that I think Palpatine is almost impossible to remove (unless someone gives me a closure to Rey and especially Kylo without the Emperor), I did what I could. Maybe I’ll try another edit without Snoke, with Kylo leading the First Order from the beginning and eventually finding Palpatine.
The edit will be released shortly. I’m still working on some color correction, and then I’ll have to render it (and my PC is from Ancient Rome’s time).
Again, it’s not perfect, but if some people have the courage to praise the Snyder Cut, then in comparison this is not that bad.
Hey man! I had to stop it for some time, because of PC issues and the usual “life happens”.
I’ll get to work on it as soon as possible. Don’t worry, it will be released in 2021, in spring or summer 😉
Right now I’ve edited up to the Tie Fighter chase sequence, and the final battle won’t have many changes, so it’s coming.
I’ve made a breakdown video of the end scene with the sparking light sabers after the final battle.
As I commented on YT, I love it 😄
May I have a link please?
I get it. It’s already unacceptable that to receive infos one has to read novels, comics, visualdictionariesandstuff.
The way I see it is that the Dyad would have evolved anyway, without anyone doing anything. More slowly, probably, but still. Snoke (who probably had some thought freedom) just made the connection grow faster.
The kinda “official” (?) answer about the Dyad (I don’t know how much you care about this, but still) is something like:
The Dyad is a natural phenomenon, not something you really can create. When Ben became Kylo and fought the previous leader of the Knights of Ren, Ben and Rey shared… something. It’s like she feels he’s falling to the Dark Side, meaning that they had a connection years before the movies (all this stuff comes from Kylo’s comic).
All other things that happen (Kylo probing her mind in TFA and Snoke mind bridging them) just enhanced something that was already there.
Thank you man! Appreciate it 😉
Thanks!
There are still things to be done. Blaster bolts, some effects on lightsabers, etc.
But I’d like to have a response on color correction, music… I’m still not sure about walls-colors during the duel: is it better to have it all grey or blue-ish?
In short… suggestions and comments? 😉
Well, about that clip… I did nothing. There’s a Youtube video where someone did that (he probably just remade the audio from scratch). It’s called something like “Star Wars without music”. Otherwise, in other scenes (like in my previous ROTJ edit) I use Audacity, but the results are not always that great.
In my edit I removed the scream while keeping most of special edition changes (and adding others)…
Thank you all 😉
