You’ll find a lot of faneditors will be opposed to this idea and would prefer to keep control of their projects but MRDb has 700+ Star Wars fanedits listed on the database if it helps? https://www.moviesremastered.com/searchresults.php?searchtype=OriginalTitle&genre=&franchise=&certificate=U&award=fanedit&language=&fanedittype=&searchterm=star+wars
You may have seen that Andor has returned to mixed reviews—but that just gives me the perfect opportunity to continue my movie series based on the earlier episodes.
Season one worked beautifully as a film trilogy, and with season two structured around three episodes spaced a year apart, it’s shaping up to be ideal for a new quintology-style film edition.
After viewing the first 3 episodes, I gotta say I’m a little disappointed but it has a lot of potential. Here are my suggested changes so far…
• Delay use seeing Cassian til much later
• Edit down as much of the wedding as possible
• Cut out as much exposition dumps as I can
• Remove the “flirting” intro with Cassian and the girl (seems pointless)
• Remove all of Yavin 4 scenes and the bickering gang Cassian bumps into
• Edit together the Krennic meeting into one scene to build anticipation
• Remove some of Syril and Dedra build up to mother scene
• Remove some homestead scenes for pacing
• Rearrange a lot of scenes to lessen the back and forth
• Remove Bix saying the R word
While chapter IV movie instalment is finished, I’d like to see how the story unfolded before releasing anything to you guys.
Edit coming in around 1h:48m
Any other suggestions welcome below…
Previous chapters if you haven’t seen those changes yet
Andor: Chapter I - https://moviesremastered.com/movieinfo.php?id=8697
Andor: Chapter II - https://moviesremastered.com/movieinfo.php?id=8699
Andor: Chapter III - https://moviesremastered.com/movieinfo.php?id=10560
Originally, I also wanted this to be the case after I heard it was supposedly the original plan.
But “FIGHT the Empire!” is so much more a call to action than “F*** the Empire!” and I wouldn’t want it any other way now.
I was of the same understanding when I released my Chapter III edit but having picked it up again recently, while editing Chapter IV I’m thinking of adding the line in. I’m so 50-50 on this one.

SPOILER ALERT
SYNOPSIS: “The Penguin” is a gripping crime drama that chronicles Oswald “Oz” Cobb’s ruthless ascent within Gotham City’s criminal underworld following the events of “The Batman” (2022). Envisioning the series as a four-part film saga, each installment delves into pivotal phases of Oz’s transformation into the formidable Penguin.
Prologue: “The Falcon’s Shadow”
Long before the chaos that would shake Gotham to its core, Sofia Falcone was raised in the shadow of power. As Carmine Falcone’s only daughter, she was taught that strength, not mercy, ruled the city. When her father sent her away to protect the empire from his enemies, Sofia waited, learning patience. She was the rightful heir to Gotham’s underworld, but she knew that men like her father always underestimated women.
Then came the night her father was gunned down. She returned to Gotham not to grieve, but to reclaim what was hers. But she wasn’t the only one with ambition. Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot—once a glorified errand boy—had seized the opportunity to rise. He called himself “The Penguin,” but Sofia knew better. He was a scavenger, picking at the bones of a legacy that belonged to her.
As Gotham crumbled, the battle for its soul would begin.
Part One: “Emergence”
In the chaotic aftermath of Gotham’s seawall collapse and the assassination of crime lord Carmine Falcone, mid-level mobster Oz Cobb seizes a critical opportunity. Eliminating Falcone’s heir, Alberto, Oz asserts himself as a formidable player. He forges a strategic alliance with Sofia Falcone, Carmine’s volatile daughter, aiming to fill the power vacuum and dominate Gotham’s criminal enterprises. This partnership sets the stage for a treacherous journey marked by ambition and betrayal.
Part Two: “Consolidation”
As Oz and Sofia introduce a potent new drug, “Bliss,” to Gotham’s streets, they manipulate alliances with the Triads and other crime syndicates to expand their influence. Oz’s protégé, Victor “Vic” Aguilar, faces a moral crossroads between loyalty and the pursuit of a better life. The duo’s audacious moves draw the ire of rival factions, including the Maroni family, igniting a violent power struggle that tests Oz’s cunning and resilience.
Part Three: “Betrayal”
The fragile alliance between Oz and Sofia fractures as mutual distrust and personal vendettas come to the forefront. Sofia’s discovery of Oz’s involvement in her brother’s death propels her into a vengeful crusade. Meanwhile, Oz’s relationship with his ailing mother, Francis, deteriorates amidst escalating tensions. Betrayals abound as former allies turn into adversaries, culminating in a series of calculated moves that leave Gotham’s underworld in turmoil.
Part Four: “Dominion”
In a climactic confrontation, Oz outmaneuvers Sofia and the Maroni family, solidifying his dominance over Gotham’s criminal landscape. Utilizing the city’s abandoned underground railway, he establishes a new base of operations to control the distribution of Bliss. As Oz embraces his identity as “The Penguin,” he stands atop the underworld hierarchy, embodying the ruthless ambition that propelled his rise. Yet, his ascent comes at a profound personal cost, leaving him isolated in his newfound power.
This four-part cinematic journey offers a deep exploration of ambition, loyalty, and the corrupting influence of power within Gotham’s dark and treacherous world.
INTENTIONS: To craft a quintology that expands upon The Penguin series, presenting a chronological storyline that introduces Sofia Falcone from the very beginning. By weaving her journey alongside Oswald Cobblepot’s rise, this adaptation aims to provide a deeper, more empathetic understanding of her character. Rather than a mere antagonist, Sofia is portrayed as a rightful heir to Gotham’s criminal empire, shaped by a legacy of power, betrayal, and survival. This extended narrative will explore her motivations, struggles, and ambitions, ensuring that her role is not just a footnote in Penguin’s story—but an equally compelling force within Gotham’s underworld.

Your patience and passion for Star Wars law shines through bright with this one.
It’s been a joy to see your progress on youtube and I appreciate the preview.
Bravo, dude!!
Synopsis:
“Alien: Romulus” is a 2024 science fiction horror film directed by Fede Álvarez, positioned chronologically between the original “Alien” (1979) and “Aliens” (1986). The narrative centers on Rain Carradine (Cailee Spaeny), a 25-year-old orphan laboring under harsh conditions in the Weyland-Yutani mining colony on Jackson’s Star. Her constant companion is Andy (David Jonsson), an android programmed by her father to act as her protective brother.
Intentions:
My intention was to craft a standalone horror experience that captures the raw terror and isolation of encountering the Xenomorph for the first time, with a focus on building fresh characters, new lore, and an atmosphere of relentless dread without relying on nostalgia. I also aimed to remove any fan service or callbacks to Alien and Aliens that felt jarring. This approach ensures that Alien: Romulus stands on its own as a terrifying sci-fi horror film rather than a tribute to past entries. The goal is to make audiences feel the unknown again, just as they did in 1979, while allowing this film to serve as a 1.5 bridge between the two classics.

This sounds worse than the series. Giving PIP a voice, & Darth Plagueis an apprentice!?
I thought the Pio voice worked very well. It became a droid with an attitude similar to 3P0 and R2 in the Original Trilogy.
The Plageuis having an aporentice was likely typed in error. His appearance was moved to a different and more appropriate spot. Nothing more than that.
Ignore them. They’re just trolling for attention after being banned from MRDb and MR Discord for constant rudeness, entitlement and harassing other faneditors which lead to them giving bad reviews despite not gaining access to edits.
Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed this project. 😃

Intentions:
For years, I’ve been captivated by the vibrant chaos of the '80s—a decade that brought us a wealth of cultural brilliance, along with its fair share of questionable moments. I’ve long wanted to create a project that encapsulates both the highs and the lows, the good and the subjectively bad, that made the '80s such an unforgettable era.
In my pursuit for inspiration, I discovered the remarkable work of Seth Ickerman and Carpenter Brut. Their art represents a brilliant fusion of visual and musical storytelling, capturing the dark, electric soul of the '80s in a way that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Their collaboration has been profoundly inspiring, igniting a creative spark in me to elevate this project to the next level.
My goal is to craft a cohesive storyline that intertwines the various elements of the '80s, drawing on Ickerman’s artistic vision, Carpenter Brut’s fusion of pulsating synthwave and heavy metal, and other influences that have shaped my perspective on the decade. This project will be a journey—a mosaic of memories, music, and visuals that, when combined, narrates the story of a decade that continues to resonate in our culture today.
Stay tuned as I embark on this passion project, striving to capture the essence of the '80s in all its neon-lit glory and shadowy undertones.

This is a last minute edit that was suggested by the MR community. It’s been on my watch list for a few years but only just go around to watching it.
I thought it was a very fun watch but there were a few deleted scenes that really added to the storyline, IMO.
This edit trims a little and adds a lot.

UPDATE:
Synopsis:
When a group of elite mercenaries infiltrates a wealthy family’s estate on Christmas Eve, taking everyone hostage, they expect an easy payday. But their plan is upended when they encounter an unexpected foe—Santa Claus himself.
This isn’t the jolly old man from stories past; this Santa (played by David Harbour) is grizzled, battle-hardened, and ready to dish out some yuletide justice. Fueled by a sense of duty to protect the innocent and a growing distaste for the naughty, Santa embarks on a one-man mission to take down the heavily armed criminals.
As the night unfolds, the line between naughty and nice is drawn in blood, with Santa proving that Christmas spirit is about more than just presents—it’s about standing up for what’s right, no matter the odds. Filled with dark humour, explosive action, and a touch of holiday magic, Violent Night delivers a holiday movie like no other.
Intentions:
The goal of this extended version of Violent Night was to deepen the narrative, enhance character development, and expand on the film’s themes while retaining its unique blend of action, dark humor, and holiday magic. By enriching the story with additional scenes and moments, this version creates a more immersive and emotionally resonant experience.

This show, in my opinion, is the best-written, cast, directed, and acted piece of entertainment from the past decade. The intricate web of detail and nuance in character development is truly remarkable. That said, I believe the season would work even better as a four-part film series, each running about 100 minutes and presented in chronological order.
These edits are about 75% complete, but I’m open to suggestions if anyone spots something I might have missed?

Synopsis:
In this gritty reimagining, Thanksgiving plunges viewers into a blood-soaked small town where holiday cheer takes a sinister turn. Set in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the story follows a deranged killer in a pilgrim costume who’s bent on carving up locals in increasingly gruesome and ironic ways. What was meant to be a cozy holiday with family quickly transforms into a nightmarish hunt for survival.
As the town gears up for its annual Thanksgiving parade, tensions rise, and fear spreads. A band of unlikely survivors—including a disgraced sheriff, a resourceful waitress, and a high-school outcast—must unravel the mystery of the maniac before they become the next course in his twisted feast. With gory practical effects, grindhouse-style film scratches, and the seedy ambiance of a ’70s slasher, Thanksgiving serves up a hearty portion of horror that leaves no one safe and no stomach unturned.
Expect pitch-black humour, grindhouse grit, and an homage to classic slasher tropes that keeps the holiday spirit hauntingly alive.

Following my edit of Joker (2019) aka Happy https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Happy-by-Movies-Remastered-A-Joker-Fanedit/id/123335
Unlike the first installment, this sequel left me thoroughly disappointed. The story felt weaker in comparison, and the musical numbers seemed awkwardly forced, as if added solely to meet contractual requirements.
In my edit, I’ll be cutting out these unnecessary elements and focusing on enhancing the storyline, bringing more depth to both the plot and the characters. My goal is to give this film a stronger, more immersive experience that fans of the original can truly enjoy.

Synopsis:
In this sequel to Tim Burton’s cult classic, Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder), now an adult and a mother, returns to her eerie roots when her daughter, Emily, stumbles upon the decrepit Handbook for the Recently Deceased. Haunted by unresolved ghosts from her past, Lydia must once again confront the mischievous bio-exorcist Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), who is just as outrageous and unpredictable as ever.
As the boundary between the world of the living and the dead becomes dangerously thin, Lydia and Emily find themselves caught in a supernatural battle involving chaotic afterlife bureaucrats and ancient curses. Desperate to protect her family and stop Beetlejuice’s latest schemes, Lydia teams up with some familiar spectral faces, uncovering dark secrets about the afterlife and her connection to it.
With gothic humour, absurd antics, and Tim Burton’s signature visual style, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice blends nostalgia with new thrills, taking audiences on a bizarre and heart-warming journey through the weird and wonderful world of the undead.
Intentions:
I thought this sequel was a great addition to the franchise, capturing much of the original’s charm. However, it felt bogged down by an overabundance of plotlines and constant cutaways that detracted from the main story. In this fanedit, I’ll focus on tightening the narrative, starting by streamlining Delores’ introduction, which I felt dragged on without adding much to the overall plot. Additionally, I’ll be removing the subplot about Wolf Jackson being an actor, as it felt unnecessary and pulled attention away from the core story. My goal is to create a more cohesive and engaging flow while maintaining the film’s unique spirit.
