What's your take on Emperor Palpatine being brought back for The Rise of Skywalker?
Time

I definitely think Palpatine’s return was a bad idea, but to be fair to the ST, there was “peace” for 30 years. That’s longer than the Empire even existed. The First Order’s reign of less than a year is just a blip - relatively - with the OT victory still being the larger, more important one. Especially when the new generation owes so much of its success in quashing TFO before it really got going, to the previous victors, anyway.

Palpatine stayed gone for a long time, and his contingency mostly failed.

Revenge of the Sith (The New Canon Cut) [ON HOLD INDEFINITELY]
Time

So just for fun, I edited the first 22 minutes of this into an episode of The Clone Wars:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Nm4JAjyjGJQhY4t1k9nbBUtkgz2MY98/view?usp=sharing

I just very roughly frankenstein’d audio for the “recap” and it’s super compressed for the storage limit, but it’s not a serious thing anyway. Just a fun preview for the rest of the edit. It’ll be interesting if we could watch this seamlessly in between season 7 episode 9 and 10 when they come out.

I also have a new, experimental color graded vers available. PM for a link to that if you don’t have already have a link to the GDrive folder. (which I realized too late was a much more efficient way of storing the edit; about a dozen of you don’t have it)

Dom's (Possibly) Useful TROS Edit (WIP)
Time

I wonder if we can make “Palpatine just sort of forgets” a full on plot point. He’s old, he should be pretty senile now, right? His memory isnt what it used to be and he can’t quite recall what it is he wants to do. Which is why he starts quoting himself, why his plans for Rey are so inconsistent and can explain away whatever inconsistencies arise from editing to our preferences. I started this post as a joke but now I kind of want to do it.

Dementia Palpatine is the edit we deserve

<strong>The Mandalorian</strong> - a general discussion thread - * <em><strong>SPOILERS</strong></em> *
Time

I mean, either way, I think her never talking to Anakin again from then until Malachor works better for both her story and Anakin’s. I know Filoni came up with their reunion pre-ROTS/Mandalore way back then as well, but that just adds to my gripe with his storytelling. Did he not realize how much more sense it makes for Anakin to still be carrying his hurt about her into ROTS? Or how Ashoka sustaining guilt for leaving works for the drama of finding out he’s Vader?

I guess I meant to say, he didn’t have to adhere to that unfinished/unrealized story arc, especially after TCW got cancelled. It worked just fine, better even, without it. That said, I’m a dumb dumb baby boy who is also very excited about finally seeing it completed. I do love Ashoka and will watch the arc and love it. I just kinda disagree with it. In my eyes, it should have been Siege of Mandalore, but Ashoka dies in Order 66 and Malachor never happens. Or don’t do it and Malachor is Ashoka’s end.

Filoni’s just doing the revisionist Lucas thing, saying “The Clone Wars was always a show about Ashoka and Rex,” and making them super important characters to the main story of the series. And even The Mandalorian now, apparently.

Ok, here’s a quick mockup: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dWl61mMYFgDO3DAVQO-K_1UNZejk5CPC/view?usp=sharing

That’s pretty cool. I think for it to work you’d need to pitch-shift it up just a little, and then extend the shots before and after to give it a little breathing room. That should give it enough to blend and feel like something he’s saying just a little under his breath.

I agree. Something more like this?

I’m sure there’s also a lot of “The Empire” he says elsewhere that we could stick after “…era” if we really want to hammer it in. I don’t volunteer.

It doesn’t blend seamlessly but perhaps someone better at audio editing who has more time and actually wants to do this can make it work somehow. it was a shot in the dark anyway.

Rearranging the lines in the way Rogue outlined would help too. It does sound more like a note to end on than stick in the middle as I just did.

i’m very uninvested in this movie tbh, sorry if im not being much help

I honestly wish Filoni would just let Ashoka die already. Or be uninvolved. Not that I dislike the character, but I think he’s already crossed into writing-fanfiction-with-his-OC territory.

Her sendoff in the finale of TCW season 5 was already a good ending, but she came back in Rebels. Her defeat by Vader on Malachor made up for it by being an even more emotional ending for her. But then she even survives that, to even after ROTJ! Then Filoni doubles down to before all this and says that Ashoka actually talked to Anakin after she left the Jedi Order, they apparently made up, and she led the Siege of Mandalore against Maul. Essentially, he took away the impact of both times her story ended, just to keep her alive or involved in the story. I think Ashoka was a great character, but Filoni has made her more important and powerful at the expense of a satisfying arc or reason. Her existence is purely fanservice at this point.

I kind of wished they did try to de-age Hamill for Luke or something. If Din really needs to meet a Jedi.

SOLO: A Star Wars Story - Fan Edit Ideas Thread

I got a two ideas, Making Solo Cowboy bebop style, by replacing the score with the anime’s score and re-grading it to make it look more like Bebop, Adding and changing sound effects, changing the aspect ratio to 4x3 and others

Did you end up making this? Because I started my own Coaxium Bebop and it seems you came up with the idea before me.
