Aloha!

My work schedule finally slowed down a bit, so I’ll be back to working on proper editing breakdowns later today, but in the meantime here is one of my favorite recut scenes from Attack of the Clones: https://youtu.be/ZaOsg-B0iqg

Enjoy the Edit!

Not from my taste, but everything you’ve been working has been incredible.

Cheers Buddy! What’s been your favorite scene so far?

I love the way you edited Obi-Wan and Anakin vs Dooku, it reminds me of “Dune: Part Two”. By the way, I also love the Droid Factory scene, even though, I wish you kept the scene where Obi-Wan talks with Dooku.
I will use some of your ideas to my own cut(When I have time).
And I agree with you, AOTC is great if it’s reedited.

Early on when I was breaking down which scenes I was gonna keep and which scenes I was gonna toss for Attack of the Clones, I took a long look at the Obi-Wan and Count Dooku scene, but just couldn’t find a way to use it, based on the way I reworked AotC as a whole. If you reinsert the Padme scene where she addresses the senate, the natural bookend to that scene is the other deleted scene where she’s interrogated by Dooku. My two cents is that the Padme Addresses the Senate Scene is ESSENTIAL to the plot of Attack of the Clones. It improves the sense of so many other sequences. In order to get the Obi-Wan and Count Dooku scene to work, you’d need an entirely different version of AotC to the one we got (and a totally different RotS). I think I’m with you, that that theoretical version of AotC would probably be a lot better, but at the end of the day, I’ve gotta work with the footage George gave us.

Yeah, sad that George only fixed this stuff about Dooku in The Clone Wars series.

Thank you Patali and Hal. We’ll see how far i get before the summer break - but at least then i have more hours to crunch.

My friend, hope you do all the trilogy.

Holy crap!I always thought this was this the original line…

I’m also looking forward to see it.

I was just thinking about this movie again for some reason and had some ideas.

One of the biggest issues with the structure of the film IMO is that Rey goes to Palpatine after getting a pep-talk with Luke. Before this meeting, Rey feels like she’s on a dark path, but after this there’s no chance that she will take Palpatine up on any offer. Now, I’d already considered just deleting the Luke ghost meeting since it’s so worthless and actively deflates the stakes, but that would have resulted in too many continuity problems. So what if instead of Rey going to meet Luke, it is Kylo?

Imagine: After Kylo has his talk with Han and throws away his lightsaber, he takes an advanced TIE Interceptor from the Death Star wreckage to Luke’s island, where he intends to stay and atone for his sins in isolation. He burns his ship and stands there before it. Just use Rey standing in front of the burning ship and replace it with an image of Kylo from behind. Then we can have Luke’s voice appear to him, saying ‘Ben.’ Then Ben can say ‘She’s gone.’

Cut to Poe beside Leia’s bed wondering how she was able to win, and Lando telling him that they had each other.

The music of that scene segues into a scene in Luke’s hut, where Ben pulls the rock out of the wall and reveals Leia’s saber. Luke tells him about his mother and how she believed that someone would complete her journey. Ben, off screen, says how he’s not worthy to wield it, and that he doesn’t have what it takes. Luke replies that he has everything he needs.

We next combine the scenes of D-O and of R2 getting a strange message from an old X-wing. Finn and Poe assume that this is Rey leading them to Exegol, but in fact it’s Ben in the X-wing.

Cut any shot of Rey in the X-wing, replacing them with shots of Kylo’s TIE fighter from the first scenes of the film when necessary. Rey arrives believing herself unworthy of the mission, ready only to take her revenge on Palpatine.

Palpatine says that Rey wants to kill him, and asks her ‘As a Jedi?’ She says yes, and he says 'No…your hatred…your anger…you want to kill me." And then in his mind, he continues “…That is what I want.” This unspoken thought echoes in Ben’s head as he races into the temple. Palpatine says to Rey “Kill me…” Then to Ben: “…and my spirit will pass into her. As all the Sith live in me…” then to Rey: “You will be Empress…” and then Ben hears in his head “…we will be one.”

Then later, to Rey, he says: “She will strike me down…” Then to Ben “…and pledge herself as a Sith.”

Palpatine is doing this gloating as a way of telling Ben that he has won, thinking that there is nothing Ben can do to stop him. But he doesn’t reckon with Ben and Rey’s connection in the Force.

In the scene where Ben fights the Knights of Ren, we see in one shot that he has Leia’s lightsaber on his belt but he doesn’t use it. He refuses to use Leia’s weapon, still believing that he is unworthy of it. Then he connects with Rey and together they agree to swap sabers. Rey drops Luke’s saber behind her back and Ben pulls it across space like in the film, then we see Leia’s saber already in Rey’s hand as she fights off the guards.

Then when Rey leaves Exegol at the end of the film, she’s in Luke’s X-wing for the first time.

Anyway, that’s quite a bit of work, but considering what we’re able to accomplish these days with editing, I don’t think it’s an impossible task by any means.

Is it possible?

Hello everyone, it’s time for another 2/22 update!

We are now three years from the official start of this project, and I’m pleased to say that considerable progress has been made. As I explained in my last update, I’m currently working on final edit checks, merges, and audio work. As of today, I’m knee-deep in the Kylo’s Destroyer Infiltration sequence - which is not only one of the most complex parts of this edit, but also represents the halfway point of the film. So like I said: progress! Once the edit has been completed, I am also going to write a subtitle track.

However, I still need a bit more help with those last couple of VFX shots. If we can get those locked in, I think I might be able to target a summer release for the project - but that date is dependent on having those shots finished in time. So if you have any experience with After Effects, please, please reach out! It’s a small paint out, and a bit of compositing. We’re so close - we just need a little more! (And thank you to those who have already assisted with some of the new effects!)

As a means of enticement, I’d like to share the crucible of any Rey Nobody edit: The Bedroom Scene. This is my take on it - remember that contextually, Rey has just learned about Palpatine’s return for the first time, and is starting to realize the enormous responsibility that she, as the last remaining Jedi, is now facing. This scene is followed by The Hangar Scene, which makes the stakes even more personal for Rey. Hope you like it!

Great video, pal!

Will you use Jar Jar Bricks dialogue in a version 9.0 release?

I remember seeing a clip of Rey having a dream with Ahch-To Island in this reedit. Does anyone know what happened and if Hal9000 had removed this scene?

That wasn’t ever part of this project but is part of Nev’s Starlight edit.

I remember seeing in your “clips for faneditors”, guess I was wrong.

I remember seeing a clip of Rey having a dream with Ahch-To Island in this reedit. Does anyone know what happened and if Hal9000 had removed this scene?

Reedit A New Hope to be more in line with a Zack Snyder film: Add slow motion, remove all the corny lines of C-3PO to make his serious, Obi-Wan would tell the whole prequel trilogy story in a 10 minutes montage plus all the characters would say bad words, like Obi-Wan when fights against Darth Vader: “Only a master of fucking evil, Darth”.

“You refer to the prophecy of the one who will bring back balance to TROS, do you believe is this editor?”

Anyway, great work pal! Excited to see this version!

It is incredible how Acbager can make a fantastic series into incredible films. The Way Of Mandalore is one of the best Star Wars fanedits I’ve ever seen and I’m excited to see the way he will re-edit Season 3 since it is the worst part of the series.

Is this project alive? I don’t know if it could be restored but in one of the trailers there is a very interesting line of Bail Organa that could’ve been added back to the film. Damm, an extended edition of AOTC would be really nice.

Adywan’s original version is great and this one will probably be way better.Also, do you have any plans to add Kenobi’s new theme when we first met him?

My friend like Palpatine would say: “A surprise to be sure but a welcome one”.

Hey can you send me the link of the edit?
Really interesting in your VFX work.

Are you still doing the edit?

Can you send to me, please?
