Good points, everyone. As I’ve said, the Rathtars will be reduced but not eliminated.
DigMod tried a reduced version that was almost totally convincing (he might have cut a little too much but overall it was better than the theatrical cut without creating continuity issues).

On the subject of the crawl, here’s another attempt, taking into consideration the previous suggestions:The galaxy is in peril.
With this first line you don’t acknowledge anything about Episode VI, which ends with the galaxy saved from the Empire and the Sith.
I think your crawl is far too complex and contains too much information (a first time viewer wouldn’t understand half of it, especially in a movie which is a sequel to an episode where everything seemed to be resolved).
I said a while ago that the Blu_ray/ DVD versions won’t be available until mid next year at the earliest
Thanks, I obviously completely missed that!
Why waiting that long by the way ? I understand that making a full bluray with menu and features takes time, but if the fanedit already exists in high quality I fail to understand why a mkv of the ucompressed version of the edit is postoned to next summer.
Nice.
I haven’t updated that scene yet, so the latest version is still on the Starlight page:
https://mega.nz/#!3EFEVTLL!nVZb6XmsPlFFqiUWpKrw4KQC5ZmfaYKdkr5VP4WVeMcIf anyone has suggestions on how it could be made acceptable, I’m all ears 😃
I’m totally OK with this. Hope it will make it into v2.1 😃
I agree but again it might not be the goal of this edit (it was removed in v1 though). Maybe Sir Ridley or Nev are going to remove it in their own edits (edits that I’m also looking forward to watching when available).
(because I haven’t made Finnish subtitles for Restructured yet)
If you need the sync english subs file to help you, tell me (PM).

EDIT: Although I could go for: “Weapon reprimed to shoot them a second time.” (Imagine the most exaggerated stereotypical French accent possible, by John Cleese.)
LOL
For The Ridiculous Awakens: Restructured maybe 😃

Clone Wars microseries
At last ! I never get why so many people don’t watch this masterpiece (yep) in their marathon (the microseries is better than most of the movies ! CW’s Grievous might be the best SW vilain since the Emperor).
I would include R1 - in a fanedited form, no way I’m ever gonna watch the boring theatrical cut again - but it bears too many consistency issues with ANH (whereas it is supposed to end a few minutes before ANH starts). TPM and AOTC inconsistencies happen such a long time ago before the OT that it seems less problematic than R1 issues with ANH.
Nah thanks, I don’t have the tools to record properly something and my french accent is terrible (not quite as terrible as the Monty Python’s french accent in Holy Grail but still…). I was thinking about an real english guy actually (tradition of most SW bad guys being english), the only one I “know” around here is Adywan (and likely to have the tools to record something usable), but Sir Ridley would be a very good idea ! I cannot recall where Never is from.
Sir Ridley is swedish but if he sounds like Max von Sydow I would say “go for it !” (even if not, would still be fun)

Maybe dub tech guy to tell Hux “weapon reprimed in 30 seconds” or “weapon fully recharged.” Can’t be myself; needs to sound vaguely European.
An english guy around here with an european english accent and who might have the tech to record a new line… hum… that’s pretty easy to find 😃
(more “Weapon reset in 30 seconds” to imply there is some kind of calculations to adjust before firing ?)
(edit: oh thanks I didn’t know “reprimed” was more or less a synonym of “reset” ! That’s why I like american forums !)
It’s more a “ok, now they are here” statement than a surprise ('cause the fact they are rushing to get the saber in the basement acknowledges they are aware of the upcoming attack, something that was totally unclear in the theatrical cut).

JEDIT: I think I solved it.
I’m listening 😃
It is time… to watch this edit !
Congrats to everyone. It’s been very fun to follow the progress of the project with the new ideas popping here and there and the mock concepts to feed the interest all along. I never went back to the theatrical cuts of the PT after watching Hal’s versions; I’ll never go back as well to the original TFA cut with this impressive v2 (the “fanedit sfx department” is to get special praised, thanks guys !).
Side note for ayone who would like to edit it further (so out of scope of Restructured): why does Rey say “we both will [get BB8 to the Resistance]” to totally change her mind a few minutes later for absolutely non reason (“I’m going back to Jakku”) ? (and don’t tell me her lack of consistence gives her depth characterization, please 😉)
(the kind of thing during Lucas era everyone would make fun of but for some reason for TFA it seems no one really cares about inconsistent dialogues such as this one 😃)
(anyway, 1/3 of french and english done, trying to finish it this evening !)
Don’t forget it’s possible to take the later shots of Luke and “just” removing the background to change it.
but it might be better to put the credits somewhere else instead.
I’m quite sure Hal is likely to make a press release of the cut list like he did for v1 and for the PT, where he gives due credit for every single change 😉
Here’s the V1 cutlist
Thanks a lot for that, I really needed it to know everything that got tweaked !
I’m pleased to report that I am exporting a test file of the entire film, to send to Mala to get subtitles going.
Cool ! Don’t make it bigger than 2 Go and a Mega link would be great !
Are you going to release a fully uncompressed version like you did with V1 ?
I don’t think that the Gonk torture was intended to be humorous
I’m pretty sure it was (the humor of the OT is always intended to be… even in the PT but in the PT humor almost never works).
But if the point of view is realism I’d like to remind that SW is fantasy not science-fiction.

Here is my final cut, including music:

pass: hux
!!!
How did you manage to get rid of Ren from the shot in such a short time ?!?
Should I watch TFA Restructured v1, or wait for v2?
Wait for v2. v1 has the concept right, but v2 will have every little tweak needed to make it work so as to replace the original theatrical cut.
I’m also quite thrilled about coming fanedits that are going to use V2 as the base !

And in any case, I think it’d be great if the Resistance somehow reacted to the imminent second attack.
It would be good indeed (that’s why there was an attempt with Admiral Ackbar) but since the theatrical cut doesn’t either have such a scene (it’s never clear for the Resistance that the next attack is against them… they just know the weapon is charging again) there is no real issue (and I think it flows better with the restructure cut)
Just a quick remark about the first paragraph of the crawl. Currently it is:
In his absence, the sinister FIRST ORDER has risen from the ashes of the fallen Empire, plotting its return to power.
Wouldn’t it work better with this slight change ?
In his absence, the sinister FIRST ORDER, risen from the ashes of the fallen Empire, is plotting its return to power.
(anyway: crawl subs in french done; deleted scene in french and english done; I’m ready to finish it as soon as possible)
Just to be sure: is the first Snoke scene going to stay as it was in V1 or is it changed back to the theatrical cut (so many ideas have been raised these past few pages I’m no longer sure) ?
I wish you did dude, I really do… 😦
the OT can’t be blamed for inconsistencies created by the PT.
Pretty sure everyone here agrees.
