When time allows, I too would love to check out your edit!

I too would love to see this edit! The GDrive links from the .info site are all showing offline unfortunately.
Sheepish said:
Basically, instead of Anakin asking about midichlorians and Qui-Gon giving his whole explanation about how he has microscopic organisms in his blood that channel the Force like radio waves, he just comforts Anakin’s confusion and tells him “when you learn to quiet your mind…you’ll hear the force.”
Looks and sounds excellent!
Can’t say I can offer much help, but it’s good to see ya back Smithers!
This might be addressed somewhere in all of your threads, but for the 5.1 PCM audio file, what speaker order do you have it in? I popped the file into Sony Vegas but couldn’t really differentiate between the 6 (i.e. which track is the Left, Center, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround, and LFE).
Still lossy unfortunately:
Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems
Codec ID : A_DTS
Duration : 2 h 17 min
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 1 413 kb/s
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Channel positions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE
Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz
Frame rate : 93.750 FPS (512 SPF)
Bit depth : 16 bits
Compression mode : Lossy
I’ve just been using the experimental encoder in FFMpeg through cmd, audio file seems to work fine that way.
Call the program: "LOCATION\ffmpeg.exe"
Express Input file: -i "LOCATION\The.Force.Awakens.Restructured.Lossless.Audio.wav"
Add: -strict -2
Express Output: “LOCATION.dts”
“LOCATION\ffmpeg.exe” -i “LOCATION\The.Force.Awakens.Restructured.Lossless.Audio.wav” -strict -2 “LOCATION\FILE NAME.dts”
That’s what I do but like I said it’s only an experimental encoder.
I have this edit downloaded, if you’re looking for it AND own the sources, but can’t get on a certain spleen, feel free to PM me. I will NOT post the link here, I will only respond to PM’s.
Happy New Year!
Well would ya looky there, it is.
Now I’m confused how at 2:01:46 we have red, and then at 2:03:10 it’s suddenly golden. (timestamps represent V2 of this edit.)
POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT
This slight change may not belong in this edit, but with the mindset of maintaining continuity, any thoughts on applying a filter and changing the color of 3P0’s red arm? It would appear he found a decent droid painter for it between TFA and TLJ.
END SPOILER
Well you can watch it soon, but not quite yet unfortunately. Something always seemed off to me when using clips from the 2014 release next to the 2005, and your comment made me look back on my project files to see if it was good to go for a render.
I finally found the little problem with A Dame to Kill For: the video is pristine, clean and very… digital; while the original wasn’t to the same extent. I looked closely and the problem that has escaped me until now is I have to add a light grain plate, and do some color correction. I have a few other projects I’m doing now, but will be revisiting this edit soon for a final release.
Till then, I’ll keep you posted!
This is a very bad idea. No offense.
It’s been awhile since I watched the original TFA, so I may be slightly biased on my opinion when listening to the posted track, but I would like to hear your opinion on why it would not work?
I can’t recall if the opening theme music was going to be replaced in this edit or not (I know other editors have and will replace it in their own edits). I know most people have planned to use the prequel version of the opening theme, but back when TFA came out on DVD, Adywan posted an edited version of the TFA theme that made it sound more like the London Symphony Orchestra’s versions that he planned to use for his own personal edit. Don’t know how to describe it, more “grandiose”? Anyway, I can’t remember when exactly he posted it but I went ahead and reuploaded the version he shared if anyone wanted to use it for their own or we wanted to consider using it for this version, since it is just an enhanced version of TFA’s own theme rather than using a different movie’s theme.

That… that is simply beautiful.
THE FORCE HAS AWAKENED ME!!!
I like where this is going!
Interesting idea, I only have the standard IM3 on blu ray but I’ll keep my eye out. I also have the phase 2 box set with some of the other deleted scenes; I’ll use this comment to remember this request.
This edit is a reorganization of the 2005 Sin City extended cut, with the addition of the shorts: “The Long Bad Night” and “A Dame to Kill For” from the 2014 Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
The shorts used from A Dame to Kill For have been edited to reduce three things:
This does not rearrange the shorts into chronological order, but it does take what I believe to be the best shorts from the 2014 release and integrates them into the original. No scenes have been cut from the original Sin City, but the extended edition was first reorganized to resemble the theatrical cut.
Clocking in at 3 hours and 16 minutes, this is what I believe to be the complete extended cut of Sin City.
Movie each scene belongs to:
(1) Sin City Theatrical
(2) Sin City: Recut, Extended, & Unrated
(3) Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
Unless otherwise noted by *, each scene is unchanged, only rearranged to fit the narrative of the original theatrical cut.
Movie Structure:
Change list for A Dame to Kill For (in order of appearance or lack thereof):
Change list for The Long Bad Night:
Rather than a part 1 and 2, this now plays from start to finish.
Removed shot of Marv asking what Johnny plans to do with the money.
All but a quick cameo of Nancy is removed. Due to the removal of Nancy, I had to reorganize several frames to attempt bringing the scenes together. This is the current setup:

Change list for That Yellow Bastard Part 2:
While my master copies are sitting at roughly 300 gb, I’ve finished uploading a workprint 2 gb file for preview purposes. If it all possible, I would like to get a few second opinions on the current edit. I’m fairly happy with the final version, but as I am most likely bias, I would love to hear what others think before I call this edit complete!
I made this mockup a few weeks ago and forgot to upload it until now:

The mockup looks great! It may benefit from some additional ambient sounds during some of the shots. Although the music is the primary audio during these scenes, some of the background sounds (even if they are not completely apparent at first viewing) may aid to the overall polish of the scene.
Hey darthrush, is the edit good to go for viewing/in a downloadable state? Reading through your change list this seems like it could be the go to version of RotJ for me.
How goes production of your edit? This has built up to be my expected go to version once finished and can’t wait!
Hi there, I do not have a MySpleen account, but would love to see your edit. Do you have any alternate links that can be used to download your edit? Cheers!
