Also, just a little notice to any who may be following this edit: I've been editing both AOTC and TPM at the same time, and have found that AOTC has been coming along a LOT quicker then TPM has. Regardless, I'm just wondering, would anyone like to see any clips from my edit of AOTC as well?

Nobody likes clips here...... (Sarcasm included!) ;)

All righty, well later today I'll put one or two up then!

The first trailer for Star Wars Definitive, done in the style of the original 1977 Star Wars trailer. Any comments/criticism would be appreciated :)

I respect the idea, but did you do that crazy saturation on purpose? And I think it would have been interesting if you had spliced Ep. 1 footage in same place they spliced in ANH footage for that trailer. I do like the idea though.

Yes, the saturation was on purpose. The actual edit looks just like the Blu-Ray. :) And nice idea, I might try that.

Worst Edit Ideas

How about at the end of ROTJ, when Anakin's mask is off, he says "Yessss!!"


You mean like this?:

YES MAN, starring Darth Vader

I think Darth Vader should yell "Nooooooooooooooooo" a lot in the OT.

The Death Star blows up.  Vader in his spiraling fighter:   "NOoooooooooooo!"

Millennium Falcon jumps to warp, just escaping the Empire's grasp off Bespin:  "Nooooooooooo!"

Vader can't find Obiwan's body after the killing blow.   "Noooooooooooooo!"

Luke lets go and falls down the chute at Cloud City, foiling Vader's plan to convert him to evil.  "Nooooooooooooo!"

Tarkin orders Vader to stop choking Ozzel.   Would our antihero really say "As you wish"?  On the contrary:  "Nooooooooooooooooooooo!"

I think this would be fairly easy to do, as opposed to a lot of the other ideas on here.  C'mon guys, what are the worst edit ideas that could actually be done?

Star Wars: The Musical? Everyone is redubbed so they sing their lines, in sync with the music? Actually, that would be awesome.

I have to admit at first I though; "Ugh, another Pod Race edit." However, the new music really made it stronger for me. Gave it some much needed emotion.

However, there are some criticisms, one is subjective, but the other is technical.

PLEASE remove all sand people and Jawas from the race. I HATE that Lucas felt that every creature that was featured on tattooine in ANH had to have cute little comedic cameos in this movies. It's lame, and it lessens in the impact when you eventually get to them in Ep. 4.

My other criticism is something I feel is beyond subjective and needs to be fixed. You need to work on audio levels. KEEP THE MUSIC PLEASE... But the levels on both sides were back and forth. Sometimes I though TPM's levels were to loud, and then sometimes I couldn't hear dialogue because of the new music. Just food for thought.

All that aside, I really like it, and I think it can work very well! You did an amazing job of timing the music cues to the action.

Oh trust me, the audio is NOT in any way final.  This is just to give you a basic outline as to what I PLAN on doing with this scene.

As for the Jawas and Tuskens....there isn't any reason not to have them. I'm making this as if there wasn't an OT before, as if this was the very first Star Wars film. So you see Tuskens and Jawas, they aren't being "shoehorned" in. They're just a bunch of random alien races, like the rest of Mos Espa's inhabitants. It isn't until AOTC and ANH that either of them play any major role. 

Plus it would COMPLETELY mess up the music synchronization, and the flow of the scene in general.

So Bob...any way to get your videos back up on another site? Pretty please?

Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem to get some of the clips back up. The original files that were uploaded to youtube are no longer on my comp tho. So I'll have to re-render clips. Which will be good cause I'm now dealing with 1080p. If I cannot find a youtube type place that can handle the quality. Ill post them up to a file sharing site. Will be a bit, but I'll do it when I can.

Try Vimeo, it's great. Much less likely to get videos taken down there.

Here is the rough cut of the Pod Race. IMO it's the best edit I've ever made, but I'm an egomaniac. :P 

Anywho, it's really rough, and the sound needs a lot of tweaking. But you get the basic idea. Pod Race with OT music, and no tom-foolery from poorly CGI'd characters.

Any criticism/comments would be GREATLY appreciated.

Idea: for a 'The Dark Knight: Year One' edit...
Time

I'm taking out the Phantasm story, and just leaving the flashbacks. I have plans to integrate the other half into a sequel to my fan edit.

One big issue is that the Scarecrow's whole appearance changes from episode to episode. In "Fear of Victory" he has this kind of lame sack over his head. In "Dreams of Darkness" he has this cool pumpkin mask thing. So I have to figure out.

Dooku, as the Sith lord for two of the prequel films, does IMO need a theme. In my fan edit, I'm using Xizor's theme as a substitute. Works really well.

I would like to see/hear that.

One of Dooku's lines is hard to hear at the end, the "You must join me Obi-Wan" line. But other then that, I think it works magnificently. I'm also working on combining THE DESTRUCTION OF XIZOR'S PALACE and XIZOR'S THEME with the final lightsaber battle, and it's also coming out great.

Idea: for a 'The Dark Knight: Year One' edit...
Time

So I’m making a fanedit of the Batman Animated Series that chronicles Batman’s early foraying into crime fighting. I’m trying to use clips from Mask of the Phantasm and the actual series (specifically On Leather Wings and a few Scarecrow episodes.) I still don’t know how I’m exactly going to put them together into a coherent story though.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

What he said.

Most of the cut scenes are useless. The only one that I felt actually needed to be in was the scene where Qui-Gon hacks the probe droid in half.... THIS explains why Ani and Qui-Gon are running randomly in the desert like they are running from someone. No idea why LucasTard Ltd. decided to remove that.

That was the one I wanted. And MAYBE the waterfall scene, but probably not.
