All Things Star Trek

I was thinking about the TOS episode This Side of Paradise for some reason, and was pondering what would have happened if Kirk hadn’t overcome the spores, and gotten Spock super pissed off at him. The Enterprise would still be in orbit for some time, long enough to be considered overdue and another ship dispatched to look for her. If that ship’s crew fell prey to the spores, and yet another ship follows up, eventually you have a lot of Starfleet crews crowding the colony and a lot of empty ships in orbit? 😛

70mm print of the pre-SE Star Wars film on Saturday in Academy Theater in CA!

Although I wish that had been on our collective radar a heck of a lot sooner, that this is happening at all has to be significant. This isn’t some theater back east that’s doing a free screening before closing it’s doors forever, this is the Motion Picture Academy! Disney and Lucasfilm must know about it.

The Last Jedi- Full Movie Re-Edit
Time

I think Ivan missed the ball on his re-edit. This will definitely not be my “Go To” edit and these are the reasons why.

  • Let’s start with Akbar. Everyone was excited when Ackbar was back. However, after hearing the voice actor and dialogue it’s terrible. Ivan really should have had someone proof read the dialogue. In Ackbars speech after Leia gets sucked out to space he should say “a spy among us” not “between us” and Ackbar refers to Leia as Princess Leia which should be General Organa or Leia Organa. It just comes across as amateurish and sloppy.

  • The addition of Battlefront 2 gameplay looks awful and takes you out of the immersion of the movie. This needs to be removed.

  • In the the training montage there is scene of Luke and Rey training in the rain and it’s in slow motion and just looks off from the rest of the film and it’s quite jarring. This scene needs to be removed.

  • The Canto Bight scene is better that it is has been reduced in length. But why are the Faithers being shown as they dont add anything to the story. Remove the scene where Finn and Rose go out to the balcony and watch the Faithers it’s not necessary.

  • The footage of Kylo Ren in Luke’s flashback scene on the Millennium Falcon looks off because its low quality footage and the rest of the movie is in HD. This scene needs to be removed. And when did Kylo get a chance to ever enter the Millennium Falcon. The scene makes no sense.

  • We understand Rose is a annoying character and is clearly a diversity hire to fill a quote. But he can’t just kill her off in the movie as she is going to be in Episode 9. There needs to be consistency otherwise it won’t flow once Episode 9 is released. Same with keeping Luke alive at the end of movie. If he is a force ghost in Episode 9 there will be a consistency issue.

After over a years worth of work this is a very disappointing outcome from Ivan. He has just added too much extra content and it comes across as a clunky re-edit. Less is more in most edits. Also, his own personal dislike for the film and character were edited poorly IMHO eg killing off Rose and keeping Luke alive.

Kylo entered the Falcon in a deleted scene from TFA.

Who’s we?
