Remsouille, are you still sharing links for these? I have a few older ones from December that are expired.

A thought for your next round of edits on this… rewatching the official 4K release… I see the opening of each episode is as follows:

-Recap
-Lucasfilm logo
-New Star Wars logo (the helmet/droid thing)
-Andor title card
-Episode begins

Your Rogue One edits skip the New Star Wars Logo. Perhaps you’ll want to reintegrate them for uniformity? I’ve come to really like those logos… gets me all amped up lol.

BTW, your recaps are great. Good info, good clips, well-edited to match the style of the Andor recaps!

Okay, how about this

OMG! this is PERFECT!! Very well done, my friend!

(And so happy to see someone agrees with me about how it’s all building to that moment… great point about Gilroy knowing exactly what he was doing there)

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.

Fair! I think the other reason I like the f*** line, besides what I added above, is that Andor (the show, not the individual) has been saying “fight the empire” from episode 1. Through the voices of the characters (including Maarva), the plots, the themes.

I think to really take it to the next level in the finale, to reward our time watching the season, to justify a full-blown revolt & IED explosion, we need to hear something BIG/NEW/CONTROVERSIAL. On a meta-level that is. Just my thoughts.

I actually already used the deepfaked versions! I forgot to mention it in this thread, but it should be in the IFDB listing

Oh hell yeah! You’re the best!

This is my first time creating a topic rather than just replying to one, so please forgive me if this isn’t the right way to inquire about this. I read all the rules/guidelines/FAQs and I think this is kosher.

Anyway, what the topic title says… I’m fascinated by the idea of an Andor edit that revises Maarva’s closing self-eulogy line from “FIGHT the Empire” to “FUCK the Empire”, which is what was supposedly scripted & filmed.

Seems that AI speech software is becoming more commonly used for edits around here, so figured it might be doable for some enterprising soul? I’m sure Fiona Shaw (Maarva actress) has dropped an F-bomb or two in her other projects (Killing Eve, Fleabag, True Blood, etc). If that’s even how the software works?

QUICK EDIT:
Just adding that I totally respect folks who think an F-bomb is NOT in the spirit of Star Wars. However, I love the idea of it in this case because 1) Andor already feels to me like the edgiest/real-est/nastiest version of Star Wars we’ve gotten, so it fits, and 2) the speech is building > building > BUILDING to something huge. An F-bomb in that moment would’ve been TRULY shocking. On both a STORY-level and a META-level.

So, turns out Nicholas Britell isn’t returning for season 2 (mentioned here) outside of a few tracks; Brandon Roberts is picking up composing duties.

I’m sure the general sound will stay audially & thematically consistent to what Britell established, but it has inspired me to re-open the project files and mess around using some of Roberts’ previous work. Obviously his actual score for Andor season 2 will take precedence for use in the final project, but I am already inspired to use some of his other stuff. The places he is different from Britell open up what exactly “Andor sounds like” and that has exciting possibilities for this.

Came here to see your thoughts on the Britell > Roberts shift. This could be interesting!

Happy to see you’re getting excited to start work on this project again! Fingers crossed Season 2 ROCKS & it doesn’t throw any huge wrenches into your future re-edit.

And while I was here, have you given any thought to using the Deepfaked versions of the Tarkin & Leia scenes? I know they originated on YouTube & I think Hal9000 incorporated them into his Rogue One re-edit. They really do look a lot nice than what we got in 2017.

Hey TGWNN - have you gotten around to the larger encode? Thanks!

You’re a mensch for this! Great idea & great work (from the comps so far)!!

Throwing in my two cents. I agree, it definitely was originally broadcast in two parts over two weeks, though it was first scripted/sold/edited as one. You can find the original script on Google pretty easily. Never knew they did a two-hour rebroadcast later.

Here’s my breakdown of the broadcast flow vs script flow…

TWO-PART, BROADCAST FLOW:

1. Monster attacks cockpit, Kate counts to 4 >
   CUT TO COMMERCIAL
2. Kate finishes counting to 4 > Jack/Kate/Charlie see the pilot dead in tree >
   CUT TO END CREDITS
3. Jack/Kate/Charlie stroll through the jungle, try out the radio >
4. Charlie’s flashback to plane crash >
5. Boone/Shannon/Claire on the beach >
6. Michael/Sun/Jin on the beach >
7. Walt walks into jungle & finds marshal’s handcuffs >
   CUT TO COMMERCIAL
8. Sawyer/Sayid fighting on the beach, Jack/Kate/Charlie arrive

ONE-PART, SCRIPT FLOW:

1. Monster attacks cockpit, Kate counts to 4 >
   CUT TO COMMERCIAL
2. Kate finishes counting to 4 > Jack/Kate/Charlie see the pilot dead in tree >
   NO CUT TO END CREDITS OR COMMERCIAL
3. Boone/Shannon/Claire on the beach >
4. Michael/Sun/Jin on the beach >
5. Walt walks into jungle & finds marshal’s handcuffs >
6. Jack/Kate/Charlie stroll through the jungle, try out the radio >
7. Charlie’s flashback to plane crash >
   CUT TO COMMERCIAL
8. Sawyer/Sayid fighting on the beach, Jack/Kate/Charlie arrive

Long-time Friday Night Lights fan here! I’d love to see what you’ve achieved so far & encourage you to do more (though I see I’m a couple of years late to the party).

I was aware of the separate NBC/DirecTV airings, aware of the music changes, and aware there was a shorter version of the series finale on streaming. But I had NO IDEA the episodes as they appeared on DVD/Blu-ray (how I’ve always watched) were also shorter than what aired on DirecTV!

Feel free to follow up with me over PM if you’d like!

Thanks for sharing links, Neohanime!

Started skimming through these. The detail is GREAT & so happy to not have the weird desaturated/blurred flashback filter they added for the official 4Ks!

I’m not actually seeing much in the way of grain… a big sticking point of the official 4Ks was that it was scrubbed (along with fine detail). Does the lack of grain in the Dremaster suggest it wasn’t really there in the official blu-rays either?

Would love to see this. Would you mind sending a link? Thanks!

Exciting stuff! Thanks for the hard work!

I’d love to see an edit of Unbreakable that removes the two freeze frames & title cards from the ending.

Spoilers

“David Dunn led authorities to Limited Edition where evidence of three acts of terrorism was found.”
“Elijah Price is now in an institution for the criminally insane.”

I love Unbreakable, but those moments are so cheesy. The point has been made. I don’t need to know that the good guy saves the day … especially if it’s coming from a previously unseen narrator. Always takes me out of the movie. Which is bad considering it’s literally the last 30 seconds.

That would be the easiest fanedit ever made actually.

Easy enough to give it a try? 😉

Hey - looking for links for all three movies. Can anyone please share?

Hi! Would love a link for all 3 please! Thanks!

I’d love a link too if someone would be so kind to share! I have such vivid memories of experiencing the expanded victory celebration in the theater. Don’t need that Naboo & Hayden stuff though. Guess’m a prequel denier lol

Could you please share a link? Thanks!

Hi - can I get a link? Thanks!

Could I have a link, please? Thanks!

I’d love to check this out! I’m one of the many who started with SNW & don’t intend to go back to Discovery based on reviews. Can you share a link please?

I’d be interested to see this. Can someone PM me a link? Thanks!

I’d love to see the edits. Could you share with me too, please?
