As this edit is drawing to a close, I thought I’d share everything that’s been going on as I haven’t really been around the OT for a while.

If you don’t know, I’ve been working on various Kenobi edits since episode one dropped. I wasn’t too impressed straight out the gate but OMG! by the final episode I was given enough material to seriously do some great changes. I’ll post various links below to the progress over the past month but a quick rundown.

I’m working on 3 different edits for this series…

1. 2 part mini series
2. 3 hour movie that people have asked for, using the original Reva arc but cutting out all the fluff.
3. 2h 30m edit where Reva dies.

This is the info for the 2 part mini-series but I’m now thinking of keeping it as a 3 hour movie as I managed to find a way to fix the awkward transition I had midway…

Teaser trailer here: https://www.reddit.com/r/fanedits/comments/vq29rj/old_ben_kenobi_teaser_trailer_by_movies/

My main goal was…

Give Ben more PTSD and show how much he has sacrificed for the children. He also came across very weak and the fact he gave up using “the force” while at the same time giving up his life to “look after the boy” just didn’t make sense either. So now, He’s just haunted by his trauma and only weakened after his first fight with Vader.

Change Reva completely. Her arc was confusing and her motives felt very strange. I’ve now made her much darker, created far more tension everytime she’s on the screen and her final arc hits a little shy of Vader dropping the “I am your father!” line in ANH. I get goosebumps everytime!

I’ve also removed Reva fighting Owen for this edit and replaced it with a full on Tusken attack.(Hence the title name) It’s only a small scene but I feel it adds another danger level to living on Tatooine plus a farmer fighting an Inquisitor didn’t feel right.

I’ve also removed most of episode 4, Leia getting kidnapped again was just filler so I’m replacing Tala’s ship with Vader’s shuttle and repurposed some scenes from that episode to make Vader more threatening.

I only know their real names but I think one goes under SciFifan2109. I’ll see if the other guy has gone public with it yet…

Hello Hal ! I was wondering if is possible to do a FanEdit of Rise of Skywalker, were Rey is Luke’s daughter.
It’s just idea, and I want know what do you think about that.

There are two editors working on that right now, I’m not sure if it’s possible but the test shots are looking pretty inventive…

@RogueLeader 100% ALL THE ABOVE! Nice breakdown.

Why did all of Jon H.'s YouTube links die? Did Disney/Lucasfilm claim copyright on them?

Jonh’s YouTube is fine but they’re very compressed and watermarked. It’s all his googledrive links that are dead. He must’ve taken them down himself.

Now that’s just inconvenient! Why would he do that?

I dunno but no one seems to have downloaded the file beforehand 😢

Did anyone happen to save Johns Force Ghost 3.0 version? All his links are dead but I got an idea for it.

That depends. Does a true HD version exist somewhere?

Yeah, Jonh shared it before the 720p YouTube upload but all the links are dead. Neither Hal or I thought we’d us it but I think I can get a Qui-Gon version from it.

I was hoping someone grabbed 3.0 before it disappeared?

Brilliant! Well done, Hal. I bet that’s a load off?

It’s amazing how much Lego got right. Even the slapstick humour seems to fit better than any sequel joke. Mauls legs were hilarious LOL

Synopsis:

Once upon a time in Hollywood, amidst the glitz and glamour of the 1960s, a story unfolded that would forever change the face of the entertainment industry. The city of dreams shimmered with anticipation as iconic figures roamed its sun-kissed streets. At the heart of it all were Rick Dalton, a fading television star, and his loyal stunt double, Cliff Booth. Together, they navigated the ever-shifting tides of Hollywood, seeking to revive Rick’s career and reclaim his former glory. Against this backdrop, a young and radiant actress named Sharon Tate enchanted audiences with her beauty and talent. However, lurking in the shadows was a darkness that would cast a chilling pall over the city. The notorious Manson Family cult, led by the charismatic Charles Manson, plotted a horrifying act of violence that would shock the world. As fate converged, the lives of these characters became intricately intertwined, leading to a dramatic and poignant climax that would forever echo through Hollywood’s history. Once upon a time in Hollywood, dreams collided with reality, and the world would never be the same.

Intentions:

My personal experience with this movie was pretty terrible. The pacing was so slow and a few scenes just felt really pointless. I originally wanted to cut this film down to under 2 hours but thanks to the deleted scenes, they helped flesh out some of the storylines, and with some rearranging and slight editing this movie now feels like those 3 hours fly by.

What about the Voice AI site people were sharing a few weeks ago. I think there is a 3PO voice on there.

EDIT: https://fakeyou.com/

Ezekiel “what’s your name?”
Tony “Tony!”
Ezekiel “fakeyou, Tony!”

Probably because they were better than what we got and they could be forced to release uncut JJ version.

That’s awesome! I have the same kind of feeling when it comes to E.T. and Superman. I always remember My mind being blown when I thought my Dad paused live TV. My first introduction to VHS, which I later became obsessed with.

Are we just old af? Haha!

Absolute! I can only imagine how awesome that feels. Also, to see it so crisp and new. FTW!

I’ve never know you to be so obsessed with a movie, Hal.

I’ve still only managed to see the first 30 mins.

UPDATE: Item removed. DAMN, That was some quick work on their side. I’m on a roll!

I’m getting involved just because they removed my logo. The cheek of it!!!

New graphic updates have been added to the change list and the re-release is imminent.

Well, damn dude! You finally did it!

It sounds like you’ve got a lot of work ahead of you. Give me a shout if i can help in any way.

Good luck, man.

I’m not sure why but I’ve been getting a lot of requests for this edit recently and lost track of requests. PM me if I missed yours…

I was requested to redo some VFX shots so I’m now gonna relaunch this cut in March as I’ve only just released True Romance and don’t wanna get bombarded with too many requests at once.

I’m hoping that any continuation of this franchise will be created by passionate fans and not just rushed out with poor continuety like others before it. We shall see…
