Thanks for all the great feedback! Glad you enjoyed many of the changes, and I think it’s a good thing if you don’t notice everything on a first watch, that means it is integrated smoothly. The reason I didn’t have Starkiller destruction setup like HAL’s wonderful edit is that personally I think it is a very tired trope for the “bad guys” to lose mere seconds before they were about to win. This was an awesome, tense storyline decision in 1977 with A New Hope, but we’ve seen that already in Star Wars! With a major complaint of The Force Awakens being how much it resembles A New Hope, I didn’t want that same exact plotline being in here too. I tried to create a more unique version of Starkiller’s destruction so it doesn’t just feel like Death Star 3. I think the way I framed it kept the drama more focused on Rey and Kylo here which is a much more interesting dynamic than another superweapon in my opinion.

Hey Acbagel. I’m sorry for my late response and thanks for your great answer. I understand your opinion and it works really good. But on the other hand really like the dramatic effect if Han dies and to make it more worse the Starkiller destroys the Republic. And it fits a little bit more with General Hux line in Last Jedi “The Republic is no more”
I like both Version and will see which one I prefer for my replacement. Thanks for your awesome work.

I love that kind of FanMix. Could I get a link please?

Today i watched Acbagels Legacy of the Force. Legends Re-edit. It’s a Rey Nobody edit. I think he did a amazing job.

Now I saw Reys Sith Eyes at the end of the fight with Kylo. That’s a amazing detail.

I saw the edit and it’s like the edit to episode 7. It’s really amazing and the best version of TLJ is see so far. The new beginning on the island and all the changes with Luke and Rey are amazing. The trainingscenes over the voiceovers works so great. The best thing - Luke isn’t grumpy, will not die and is a good master. I love it. The idea that Kylo shoots the ship with his mother and Luke help her to survive is the best solution. And I can’t believe how you turn Holdos sacrifice in a amazing Luke moment. I don’t hate Holdo, but that over the top moment fits awesome for Luke Skywalker. I love it so much. The final fight between Kylo and Luke is much more emotionally with the short flashbacks. Especially the short scene between Leia and Luke with Leias purple lightsaber. That was the best moment. All the other scenes are really good edited. The most unnecessary funny moments or other bad scenes are gone. The complete new scene at the end is really a surprise. The new music parts at the end there a little bit too loud for me. A really great edit. Can’t wait to see episode 9. Love it.

I’m not sure if I watch the newest Version, but this edit is really amazing. I like the theatrical Version really much, but this is much better. I think I missed a lot of the changes. All runs really smooth. And I love the a lot of the changes that are obvious. Poes interrogation is much cooler with the voices. Rey see the island in the sunrise is really cool. I love how you change Reys Escape. The death of Han is so much more emotionally and it gives more interpretation for Kylos motive. And I love the fight against Fin and Rey. Kylo is now more powerful and Reys not overpowered. And i prefer that the Star Killer Base fires at the end of the movie. But i like the version of Hal9000 a little bit more. I think it’s more dramatic if the republic will be destroyed seconds before the rebellion wins. And I love your new ending on the island. The original end is too long and that dream is amazing. And the deleted scenes are great. Awesome edit. Love him so much. Perfect if he would be in my language 🙂

I must see that edit. That sounds awesome. Leia heals Ben and Anakin kills Palpatine. Especially the new ending sounds mindblowing.

Your edit sounds exactly what I want for TLJ 😍 Could you send me the link please?

That fanedit sounds really amazing and is exactly what I searching for. Could you send me the link please?

😍

I’m really looking forward to see your edit 😎👍

The original ending to my edit isn’t in and of itself bad. However, there were things I didn’t know about editing back when I worked on Episode I. One thing I didn’t know was how to restructure and rearrange entire scenes. That was something I didn’t learn until Episode II forced me to. The arrangement of Episode I’s ending for v1 and v2 was pretty much exactly as it was theatrically. However, the arrangement and cutting between the four story lines was excessively messy in the theatrical version as well. So, for v3, I wanted to get those scenes rearranged into something that was simpler and easier to follow.

I decided to tackle the four endings using a three-act-structure approach, which is pretentious language talk for basic writing 101. I would start with the first act and set up the four plotlines (which ended up just as it was theatrically), then get into the second act where the conflict parts of all four storylines go on (and also where the changes officially begin), take all four storylines to their lowest point (A.K.A. the gungans lose, Anakin gets hit, Obi-Wan loses his lightsaber, etc.) and finally reach the resolution of all four plotlines by giving them a third act. My hope is that restructuring the endings this way will make the ending a lot simpler and easier to follow than it already is.

As for the Gunga city scene, don’t expect a major overhaul. It is just two extra shots after all. However, it may pad out the scene a little more.

I like the suggestion about Anakin hearing Qui-Gon’s voice, but there’s a problem with how fast the scene goes by. There aren’t any shots long enough to contain Qui-Gon’s line until after Anakin has sealed the control ship’s fate and gone flying his way out. Most of the shots in the theatrical version before Anakin shoots his way out are very short. I think most of them are only one or two seconds on average. It would be a really cool idea if it could be done, but I’m not sure how at the moment.

I had never a problem with the structure of the final battle, but I’m really looking forward to see what you have do with your edit. I will enjoy it 😏 The point with Qui Gons Voice is correct. The scene is too short.

Yup. I was afraid of that. Anyway, I’m sending the PM for the lossless version now. I’ll see if I can upload the compressed version today once I get off work.

Thank you for the link. 😏 Let’s see what you have do 😎

You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I do agree to a certain extent with the Gungan city trip scene. Although the trip to Gungan city was always an awful one, and highlighted a lot of the things that everyone hated about Jar Jar. I did add a shot or two of Jar Jar back into the movie for v3 to fix the pacing issue somewhat, although it’s still likely to be an issue.

I appreciate that you enjoyed Anakin’s relationship with his mother. My own mom died of colon cancer while I was editing Episode II. Her health was already failing while I worked on Episode I, and I think a lot of the emotional turmoil going on with the family influenced my editing decisions for Anakin’s relationship with his mother throughout the prequels.

I’m also glad that you enjoyed the ending, even if it wasn’t 100% what I intended. I’ve restructured the ending to v3 to fix some of the pacing issues, add in more of l8wrtr’s influence, and give the ending a more complete feel. I’m curious to see how v1 and v2’s ending compares with v3. I’ll be happy to send you the link once I’ve released it.

I’m curious how you will handle the Gunga City scene in v3. I am think it is best to remove the scene completely, as Hal9000 did for example.

I would like to express my condolences to you. I know how you feel. Either way, I find the scenes between Anakin and Shmi in episode 1 and 2 beautiful and important to Anakin’s character, and they offer emotional depth.

What exactly do you dislike about your end? I saw the edit of l8wrtr a long time ago. I am very curious what you have planned.

I think it would be great if we could hear Qui Gons voice in before Anakin destroys the droid control ship. Qui Gon’s “Feel. Don’t think. Use your instinct”, would fit very well. Just like Luke hears Ben’s voice before the destroys the Deathstar.

I’m happy to receive the link to v3.🙂

Hi Eyepainter.

I saw v2 and really enjoyed it. You cut a lot things that I wouldn’t cut, but that’s personal taste. Your edit is really fast paced and flows fine. Most of the cuts are seamless. A few cuts are a little bit too fast for me. For example the trip to Gunga City. Things that I really liked: The way how you completely removed R2D2 and C3PO from the entire movie. The farewell between Anakin and his mother seems much more emotional in your edit. And the ending is handled very well. Not my favorite edit, but an really good FanEdit. Thanks for your hard work. LG Mario

The training scene looks really amazing. That’s are scenes I will see in the movie. If the final version is released I would get the link please 🙂

Thank you. I worked hard on it. I will be happy to get links out when it’s done. I have about 45 minutes of the movie to edit and then I have to watch it for any other possible errors.

Youre welcome. I love the idea with the Trainingscene since Ivan Ortegas edit, and your scene is much better. I’m excited to see the rest of the edit. Take the time you need and it will be awesome.
