I enjoyed this edit quite a bit. Would definitely recommend it. Nice work!
Really enjoyed this edit, its definetly in my top 3 TLJ reddits, Need to view several times as so radical a cut that it confused at times. Great work Lantern

Cant wait. The Light of Skywalker. The calling of Kenobi ha.
Hello, everyone,
Here is some information about this edit:My opinion on some scenes of the film as well as the structure of the script pushed me to try to cut and arrange the functioning and evolution of the characters such as Kylo Ren’s failure or Rey’s quest to find Luke, staying in the continuity of TFA.
For the introduction of my version, I wanted to try something new with the Battlefront II video game universe, especially with the Unknown Regions, and I wanted to insert Snoke’s Supremacy earlier in the film in order to avoid the “joke” of the enemy ship getting bigger and bigger… after all the editing done by this beautiful fan community, we had to try something new without altering the plot. The following excerpts (which I will update) will be used to show you the direction I am taking on my own vision of the film.
ATTENTION: Edit available only in French
I hope that some of you fans will be inspired for their own editing in the original version.Preview:
This is superb, Cant wait to watvh the full movie edit and will be English subtitles ?

Has anyone watched this REDUX CUT of Force Awakens yet?
Yes and loved it
I sent you a PM in regards to my force awakens redux cut? BTW, you mentioned you found a link for my force awakens redux cut on a different site what site did you find it on?
Your Redux cut as had me in tears this evening , Wonderful edit 22
I think you should consider using transitions similar to this video for your dream sequences.

They really give a similar feeling to the “force back” when she first touches the saber.
I will, for sure. Although I’m not a big fan of the style, I can see how it might be effective in certain situations.
RL, I haven’t seen that movie, but it should probably be on the list!
Here’s a more polished version of the scene, with some improved transitions and an edit to the Hux/Snoke dialogue. The rearrangement of the Kylo/Snoke dialogue has been dialed back but still retains the main idea.

It’s far from finished at the moment, unfortunately.

Here’s version 2 of Han’s Death scene, edited to have a bit more of the ‘test’:

Wow
I tell you, I’m in LOVE with this edit…
I second that
Here’s an updated scene, with the return of the unused music and a still of the wall of days and the last shot of Rey as a stand-in for the island drawing. I like the idea you had RL about using the wall for the drawing, but it would still be fun to film an insert shot of that.

OMG, Your a genius, i so love your work
The Wall of Days, OMG this is incredible, so cant wait to watch your finished version
Indeed.
I’m struggling right now on the end of the movie. I’d like to move the final scene if possible, but there are limited options. The most promising to me is to place it after the interrogation:
https://vimeo.com/327124146
Password: faneditI tried including some dialogue from Kylo about the island, but it feels more powerful without dialogue. Also, should Rey hear Hux’s speech or should it transition without her waking up?
JEDIT: I’ve also tried to place the scene after Kylo witnesses the sun draining but before Rey tries to escape, yet the problem is simply that it feels too much like she’s actually on the island rather than in a dream. The costume is problematic as well. Really at this point I’m just interested in repurposing the music somewhere.
I like this edit, brings real depth into this dream sequence
(Original poster by “lewisdowsett”)Here’s my second saga edit episode.
Same for “Shadow of the past”, I’m not necessarily here to promote something different. This will simply be my own cut.
AOTC is my least favourite episode. I’m not a PT hater nor an OT fanatic. I quite enjoy both Episodes I and III, and there are some things that I don’t like from the OT, especially from ROTJ.
Anyway, AOTC is too much over the top. Always: with CGI, with acting, with what’s been shown. The soundtrack isn’t that great aswell, IMVHO.So… to keep it consistent with the first edit, this movie will have, as overall changes:
- Complete color correction. I know that the OT isn’t that dark, but the PT is too much colorful. Some scene are desaturated, others are darkened, but some others have brighter colors.
- Naboo is Alderaan. This is achieved with the new crawl and by removing any mention of Naboo.
- Added music tracks.
- Added the Dooku/Padmé scene to remove all the ridiculous Anakin/Padmé action sequence in the droid factory.
- Anakin and Obi Wan are not clearly apprentice and master. Obi Wan is a fatherly figure for Anakin, but they must be shown as friends. I will also work on the OT aswell and I will remove any mention of Darth Vader being Obi Wan’s apprentice to keep the plot twist intact.
COMPLETE CHANGELIST (to be completed):
New title. As you can see, this is called “Keepers of the peace”. That’s what Windu says about the Jedi. This title focuses your attention on the Jedi, rather than the war (spoiling the ending). Plus, it shows Jedi’s hypocrisy, because later we actually see the Jedi becoming soldiers.
New crawl. Some things need to be established. Even though I enjoy politics in these movies, the focus should be on the Force and the Jedi. So, as in the first edit, the first paragraph talks about Anakin and Obi Wan both being already Jedi Knights. IMO Anakin’s hair does not have to be necessarily associated with him being a padawan… Later we also mention Alderaan and introduce Dooku as a former Jedi Master and the leader of the Separatists.
Camera pans down. Consistency.
Padmé arrives on Coruscant not during the day, but later. Not really during the night, but around sunset. If she knows that she can be killed, and she switches herself with her handmaiden… why do you arrive on COruscant during the day!?
Trimmed explosion scene, to remove the Young Frankenstein like scene. The handmaiden dies without a word.
Elevator scene: shortened. No Anakin being Padmè’s fanboy. No Jar Jar introducing them to Padmè.
Trimmed dialogue. When Anakin says that she’s grown, she almost interrupts him. Also, less tension between Anakin and Obi Wan. Anakin is arrogant, but Obi Wan just watches him.
Trimmed Padmé’s assassination attempt. No disgusting animal. The bounty hunter shoots at her, and Anakin deflects the sniper’s bolt.
No Obi Wan flying over Coruscant. Too over the top. The whole sequence is over the top. Now we just cut to Anakin and Obi Wan already being on the speeder car. We don’t need to know how they got it.
With a different cut, it looks like Anakin is always knowing where the BH is going, and when he jumps off the car, the BH is just beneath them. Slightly more believable.
Anakin doesn’t lose his lightsaber (to remove the ridiculous Obi Wan reaching it). I reversed the shot of Ani igniting it, so it looks like he turned it off.
More to come…
Cannot wait

Me too , its wonderful

And me, its superbly done

This looks good, although (personally) I think the “He means nothing to me” line is too confusing on its own.
I definitely wouldn’t say the earlier Snoke scenes were failures. I really liked how you ended one of them with Snoke calling Kyle Ren “Solo.”
Thanks, I also like that bit and might keep it in the 2nd Snoke scene.
‘He means nothing to me’ is intentionally confusing since we don’t know what it refers to yet. I’ll sit with it for a while in any case.
Brilliant
Speaking of Kylo and Han, I had an idea for their final confrontation that would hopefully give some more depth and emotion to the scene.Password: fanedit
Since I’m thinking about cutting a lot of the Han/Leia dialogue about Ben, I thought it might be good to include snippets here, where they essentially act as evidence in Kylo’s final test of his parents. I think Kylo’s twisted ‘Thank you’ is much more meaning
Brilliant work

Wow. Truly awesome
Well done, will watch soon
Cant wait to see this edit
You do take a swan dive in terms of quality jumping from ESB to Ep1.
Any movie you watch after ESB is likely to be a swan dive 😃
HAHA
