That book is surreal.

I’m not saying drop it, but controlling the way you live your life is a bit much. I don’t see Disney forcing everyone to wear Mickey Mouse Club ears and sing It’s A Small World After All under pain of death anytime soon.

It’s more like Universal Paperclips. You start out with the intention of creating the products that people want one at a time, then eventually it becomes financially untenable to do anything but release the Hypno-Drones.

Oh dear, I’d erased that from my memory until now.

With Hal’s TFA Restructuring version 2 coming out this weekend, I’d love to see his fanedit and your fanedit combined.

That’s the idea. The plan was to use TFA:R V2 as a base, which is why he’s focused his efforts on helping get that one done first. I’m looking forward to checking this project out, too!

True, but I also like collaborative projects more than working alone. It’s like working on a real movie, and the back and forth is just more fun 😃

Jaylah is probably what interested Tarantino, what with the beats and the shouting 😉

I’m trying to imagine what sequence from TMP would be nightmare-inducing, and I’m drawing a blank.

Oh good. Should have figured 😃

I haven’t removed V1 from Mega, though I don’t really know what goes on at FanEdit.info these days. I just send emails into what is usually a black hole.

It’s the page on the .org site that seems to be missing, not the edit itself (that I’m aware of).

Yeah, everything I’ve seen from this except for the practical effects just makes me angry.

Good point, I hadn’t considered that.

Now it’s my turn to ask: Has V1 disappeared from the fanedit site (it’s still available at .info)? I can’t for the life of me find it now.

So, I know it’s too late for V2. But I think I’ve solved the Chewie problem for V3, check it out! 😉

So beautiful. They should have sent a poet.

Looks pretty good! One little thing - There’s a duplicate credit for me in the list of contributors, and one missing for the Jakku hyperspace change.

Can you post a link to your Reddit page? I was trying to find it but I could not.

I can’t post them here, nor can I a link to that post.

My heart is with Windu, but my brain sides with Anakin.
He should probably stand trial first.

          FINN
       Yeah, the Ileenium system, that's
       the one -- get us there as fast as
       you can.
      A smiling Finn gives BB-8 a THUMBS UP. BB-8 quickly extends
      his WELDING TORCH and TURNS IT UPWARD, then retracts it.

       I'll drop you two at Ponemah Terminal.
       I need the bonding tape, hurry!

       What about you?

                      REY
       I gotta get back to Jakku!

It sounds like she will get them partway to the Resistance, then turn back to Jakku. I don’t think she ever changes her mind, she’s just elaborating on the plan.

Okay, I wasn’t sure.

Ah, I see. 😃

I thought that this change had been implemented, but maybe I’m remembering a different edit.

That’s not how maturity works!

Oh, you’re old?

Great to hear!

Here’s the V1 cutlist, updated to the best of my memory to include the new changes. Italicized changes are ones that I’m not sure are being included. Does everything look right?

New Crawl.

Added the Falcon jumping to Hyperspace after leaving Jakku, then being ripped from Hyperspace soon after.

Removed General Hux from the first scene with Snoke, where he suggests using the weapon to destroy the Republic. (FX by Jackpumpkinhead to paint out Hux walking offscreen during first shot)

After Rey flees Maz’s castle after her Force vision, replaced the Hosnian system being destroyed in the sky with a Star Destroyer.

(Color correction of Maz’s Castle battle to make it seem like it takes place at late afternoon)

New deleted scene of Leia discussing the Republic.

When Finn is introduced to Leia, removed mention of the Hosnian system’s destruction.

R2 now has a blinking light to indicate that he’s searching for the map.
(3PO walking away foley)

After Rey resists Kylo Ren’s mind probe, added the portion of the Snoke scene from earlier where General Hux suggests using the weapon to destroy the Republic. (FX by Jackpumpkinhead to overlay Kylo Ren’s face over where his mask was for one shot)

Moved General Hux’s impassioned speech to after Kylo Ren overreacts to Rey’s escape from her cell.

After the speech, the nearby Sun beings to be drained, as Hux and the troops gaze upon the stream being sucked into the planet. (Recolored to yellow-orange, and reversed so as to appear to be going down into the ground)

During the briefing scene at the Resistance base, changed and added dialogue to indicate that the Republic is still unresponsive to their messages.

Cleaned up the smoke and debris around the Starkiller weapon exhaust when X-wings approach.

During a brief cutaway to the Resistance base as Han and Chewie infiltrate the oscillator, removed Threepio’s line, “It would take a miracle to save us now.”

Immediately after Kylo Ren kills Han, the Starkiller fires and destroys the Hosnian system, as Leia senses it through the Force.

As Finn and Rey start to head outside the oscillator, cut to Snoke and Hux planning to destroy the Resistance.

As the Falcon flies away from the imploding planet, removed shots in which the fighter pilots appeared more joyful than the galaxy’s fresh loss would lead one to expect and re-scored and re-foleyed the entire sequence.

Extended the shot of R2 as he finishes searching his backup data.

(Chewie cropped out of shot at the Resistance Base)

Final shot stabilized.

JEDIT: BTW, is this still being called Restructured, or is it The Starkiller Edit?

Then we have salacious crumb,

Aw, man. I really like him. Is he getting cut out?

He should get cut in half. A gruesome demise for that aggravating imp would be oh so satisfying.

The hate must flow, apparently.

I just noticed a potential issue in the escape from Jakku. After they go to hyperspace, Finn tells Rey that ‘we need to get out of this system’. Yet presumably they’ve already left the system, so Finn’s not making a lot of sense. I played around with some dialogue changes, but it’s probably better to just cut the line.

If people think it’s a problem, that is.

The wreckage line, despite my best attempts, simply doesn’t sound enough like something he would say, and unless someone else is able to salvage it, it won’t be getting any better.
When The Last Jedi arrives, we’ll have twice as much material for this sort of thing, so I bet we’ll be able to cobble something together. But he only says “The Republic” once that is usable, and more problematically he almost exclusively talks in the present or future tense.
