I've been working mostly linearly, but I have done a few out-of-order things (all posted previously)
Right, I forgot about these.
It has been slow lately. But I don't think the opening few minutes are going to satisfy me! Speaking of which, are you (Frink) working on the edit from beginning to end, or have you been working on scenes later in the movie as well?
Hopefully they won't mess with the acronyms when they name the movies...
Not sure if this has been suggested yet, but Luke should have great difficulty hitting the button that brings the door down. When he finally hits the button, it should do something else, and the gate should fall on its own when the guys on the outside open the door.
Gee whiz. It's people like that (Johnny5/Darth Ideias) who give religion a bad name.
Unless you're worried about having acronym conflicts with the Lord of the Rings, you could call this "The Last of the Ridiculousness" since Luke is the last of the Jedi. Or you could call it "The Last Wookie" or something. Or "Ridiculousness of the Wookies" or "The End of Ridiculousness." Unless you're planning to ridiculize the ST.
If this has already been addressed in another thread, please direct me to it.
I recently adopted the view that the entirety of Star Wars canon was really an embellished history of what happened, not what "actually" happened. That would explain wonky Star Wars physics, ridiculously short travel times, continuity errors, inconsistencies, etc. So I include all formally accepted canon as canon, but don't regard it as infallible and completely accurate.
I would love to hear what everyone else includes in their personal canon, so fire at will!
I think the Jedi would be fairly well known from the holonet, but I'm sure it would be extremely rare for the average guy/girl/other to see a Jedi in his/her/its lifetime. They would be a lot more common on core worlds like Coruscant, but farther out in the galaxy, most people would have just seen brief clips of them on the news or only heard of them.

AOTR
Best typo ever!
LOL. I'm so used to typing AOTR rather than AOTC that I didn't even think about it when I typed it out...
My turn.
In TPM I liked:
-Watto
-Liam Neeson's performance, but not so much his dialogue
-The podrace, except for the announcer and some bits with Anakin
-The three underwater monsters in the "Core"
-Theed
-When the doors in the Naboo hangar open to reveal Darth Maul (I think that should have been the first time we see him though)
-Most of the Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon vs. Maul battle
-The MTTs and the AATs
-The way the battle droids came out of the MTTs
In AOTC I liked:
-The arena battle on Geonosis
-Most of what had to do with Obi-Wan, especially...
-Everything with Jango (excluding Boba's part in it)
-Dooku
In ROTS I liked:
-The emotion in it, it didn't seem so fake and unemotional like the other two
-Most of the Anakin vs. Obi-Wan battle
-Order 66: the emotion and the different planets especially, but not the Anakin bit
-The reason Anakin turned to the Dark Side (the way it was done was pretty bad and too sudden)
-Utupau and the whole battle, including Grievous
-General Grievous and his wheel bike
-The opening scene up until the buzz droids came along, but they weren't that bad
-The scene with Anakin and Padme before Anakin decided to go help Palpitine
-I also like Yoda's confrontation of Sidious, but it could have been better
Overall I liked:
-The way Palpatine/Sidious was manipulating everything, and Ian's performance overall (though it was overplayed for his transformation scene)
-Mace Windu and his purple lightsabre (I would have liked it if there were more purple lightsabres and some yellow and orange ones too, to spice things up a bit)
-The gradual change of the spaceships towards the OT designs
-The Naboo starfighters and ships
-The Jedi Temple and the look of Coruscant
-The score, especially Duel of the Fates, the stuff that played during Order 66, and the emotional music during the Anakin Padme scene with Anakin alone in the council chamber
I wouldn't mind seeing a movie about Yoda, since there is so much to tell about him and it would be possible to make a movie of him without touching on existing EU material and stuff from the movies. The deleted Dagobah scene from ROTS could be used near the end... But I have a feeling that he would lose too much of his mystery and the movie would be badly done.
I wouldn't mind something from between the Old Republic Era and the PT since it isn't touched on much in the Star Wars universe.
I would find it really interesting if a story of one of the background characters was made into a movie and included a shot from one of the existing movies (not an identical shot of course, but one from their perspective). This could be someone in the cantina in ANH, one of the podracers, a rebel, or pretty much anybody.
The story of the Millennium Falcon could make a good movie, aside from the fact that it is already in novel form and not a bad novel either.
I almost wish we just ended up with several stand-alone films and nothing directly related to the other six movies. Too many loose ends were tied up in ROTJ for the next three movies to tie in well.
"I can't believe he/she's gone" should be Luke's running line. He should say it when Han leaves before the Battle of Yavin; every time someone is killed in said battle; when Yoda, Vader, and the emperor die; etc.
When Vader kills Obi-Wan, perhaps he could have some trouble? What I have in mind is that Vader would swing his sabre at Obi, Luke would yell "Nooo-" and have it cut short, since Obi-Wan would still be standing. Vader could swear (bleeped out of course), and try again, repeating the same thing with Luke, Vader, and Obi-Wan as many times as it needs to become funny and as few times as takes to remain funny.
Oh wait...that wouldn't work if they were leaving the Death Star without him.
It could still be done though. Perhaps when they come of the ship, use that scene and have Vader suddenly fighting Obi-Wan outside, but have him fail to kill him. Then cut to a sped up shot of Obi-Wan going through the halls, implying that he is using force speed. Cut back to Vader, showing the doors closing, and have Obi-Wan and the team meet up in the control room thing, or have Obi go straight to the tractor beam thing and begin the scene in the control room thing beginning after Obi-Wan leaves.
I haven't seen ANH in a while, so I'm not sure how plausible this is, but I'm sure some of this could be used...if it's funny enough, that is.
Make Anakin pull the thing on top of him and say "Oops!"

I like it, but Dooku's crazy flip could use a cartoony sound effect.
I like it
Ha! I was wondering how things were going...this thread has been pretty quiet in the past week.
I like how you made Sid Sidious cheer on Duke Dooku.
I came across this while reading the Revisited thread for ESB. Perhaps it could be incorporated into this edit?

Luke really needed to listen to his ELO mix tapes on the way to Dagobah.
It really would be funny to have something like this as a DVD extra. :) Something from the 70's could be playing. Maybe a Star Wars song by Meco! Haha. Actually, that's more elevator music material.
I just thought of a funny scene. You know when Luke is going through the depths of Cloud City, following/getting away from Vader, and he steps in that tunnel that light up? What if the usual circus music came on and those like started blinking? Heh.
LOL
I like that. And of course Obi-Wan would still be on the Death Star, so his force ghost should fly past Luke's X-Wing when they return to the rebel base.
I can't remember...did you ever figure out if Lord Lord would work, or did you decide not to use it?
I would go with Prowse, but I'm just concerned that a lot of people wouldn't know who he was. Maybe it doesn't matter.

I think if someone does this, it should be either Hayden or David Prowse.
It should be James Earl Jones.
It should be someone the audience can readily recognize, I think, so Hayden is probably the best choice out of Hayden, David Prowse, and JEJ.
I think if someone does this, it should be either Hayden or David Prowse.
Someone else, please, please, please! That is a necessary change for this edit!
LOL, yes
Ew, no. It should be Jar Jar.
