Yeah, so how finished is your fan edit ?

There’s no timetable for when it will be finished, but I think it’s safe to say that I’m more than halfway there. I’ve gotten all the major changes down for the actual edit, and it’s looking like the final runtime is going to be a short and sweet 91 minutes. All that I’m changing at this point is the tiny nitpicky stuff. (Such as whether the pause at the end of this shot is too long, or whether that line can be safely deleted with no impact on the rest of the film, etc.)

With that said, there’s still quite a lot of work to do. I’m still educating myself on Davinci Resolve, and I’m still learning about color grading since the lesson is nearly 2 hours in length. However, I did manage to pick the Blackmagic 4.6K Film to Extended Video v4 LUT a couple of days ago to give the HD file I’m using an extra quality boost. I will probably make some more improvements once I’ve made it through the lesson, but for now, the movie looks good enough.

Subtitles are good, but not perfect. I decided to change the lines a little from the theatrical version since some of those lines are bad. I’m currently using the Franklin Gothic Demi Cond font with a stroke of size 3 to make it more readable. However, as of this posting, they don’t fade in and out like they do in the theatrical version. I’m fine with it this way, but getting the subtitles to behave like they did before would be a nice little extra. I’m gonna try out TheAlaskanSandman’s advice and see if that makes the subtitles fade in and out.

Sound editing is a lesson I haven’t watched yet, and I’m still a dunce on that subject. However, I have learned how to use crossfades in the audio transitions, and when they work, it’s nice. But I do need to get around to learning how to sound edit. Most of the dialogue from the droids, and those annoying whoops and yippees from Anakin Skywalker need to be removed. And soon. There’s a tutorial on sound editing on Davinci Resolve, but like the color grading lesson, it’s a long one.

Video transitions are also incomplete. I watched a youtube video on how to make wipes and transitions look more like something out of Star Wars, but I haven’t done it yet. I might consider trying that next.

Lastly, there’s the opening crawl. That’s been the biggest pain in the ass. I’m currently using Blender to get the opening crawl rewritten, and I obtained a custom crawl creator from a fanedit.org user named DigModiFicaTion. But it’s been a headache, and special effects are not my forte. I’m trying to watch some YouTube videos on how to do it, but I still suck at this.

So yeah, the main stuff is done, but a lot of the more technical stuff is still a work in progress.

Aliens like Jar Jar and Nute Gunray, they getting subtitles ? Anakin will continue as the chosen one ?

If I wanted to make this movie worse, yes, I would give Jar Jar and Nute Gunray subtitles. I do not wish to make it worse, and therefore, Jar Jar and Nute Gunray have no subtitles. The main reason I’m changing the subtitles is because some of the lines are really bad. For example, Anakin and Sebulba’s little trading of insults before the podrace begins is, and I quote:

“You won’t walk away from this one, you slave scum!”

…And…

“Don’t count on it, slime ball.”

Even in 1999, those exchanges were cliched beyond belief. Changing them up to make them more original is a good idea.

As for Anakin being the chosen one, there is little I can do about changing it (with the exception of getting rid of the midichlorians, which I can do). Anakin being the chosen one is such a big deal through the entire prequel trilogy (Especially when you get to Revenge of the Sith) that changing all of it is impossible. One of the more humbling lessons I’ve learned while editing Episode I is that you can’t get rid of every bad thing. Even in the better fanedits (Like HAL9000 and l8wrtr) there are things that I wish had been taken out. My version is not immune to this, either. It’s just that the prequels were that problematic. So, my goal for this edit is not to write a checklist of everything that was good and bad and erasing the bad out of existence (although that is a noble pursuit). My goal is to create the most complete narrative that I can possibly make. Bringing everything together under necessity and probability, or at least, getting as close as I can to that. I believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and if my fanedit makes for a better whole than what we got theatrically, then I’ve done my job.

Your edit your rules man, When will you release the full change list?

Hard to say. The original film had a running time of 136 minutes, and since my edit is only 91 minutes as of this post, that’s 45 minutes’ worth of changes. The list could fill a novel at this point. Plus, I still have to work on sound editing, so I don’t yet have a clear idea on what dialogue and sound effects will be removed until I’ve had some training on Resolve. I’d guesstimate that it’ll be released at the time when it’s all done. By that point, I’ll have a pretty clear idea of what’s in and what’s out. Even then, writing down all the changes is gonna be long and exhaustive.

i’m excited to see your version.

Hey G&G-Fan,

I’d be really interested in checkout out the edits you have done. I’m very curious to see if I end up liking Jar Jar in your Phantom Menace cut 😄!

I like his Jar Jar

Yeah, so how finished is your fan edit ?

The slower version is better, is more realistic

StarkillerAG said:

After thinking over it for a bit, here are some ideas that I want to try in TFA:

• Cut Finn seeing the death of his stormtrooper friend. It introduces a weird subplot with humanized stormtroopers that’s never really continued throughout the rest of the trilogy, and Poe killing Finn’s best friend makes their relationship afterwards feel really awkward.
• Cut Kylo freaking out when he hears about Finn and Rey for the first time. It’s a pointless comic relief scene that makes Kylo feel like a joke, and it implies a past between Rey and Kylo that was never really expounded upon.
• Cut the whole deal with the Rahtars and Kanjiklub. It adds nothing to the movie, and just drags the pace down. Because of this, Kylo’s first conversation with Snoke has been postponed to after the heroes are spotted in Maz’s cantina, and the scene with Vader’s helmet that was originally there has been postponed a scene later.
• Starkiller Base still destroys the New Republic in that scene’s theatrical place, but the reaction shots of the heroes observing it are gone. It completely destroys any sense of internal consistency with how far apart things are from each other.
• Cut Kylo freaking out when he realizes Rey escaped, for the same reason I cut his earlier freakout moment.
• The First Order no longer discovers the Resistance base’s location in this movie. It was always a lame attempt to add tension to the final act, and removing it helps the time skip between TFA and TLJ feel more believable.
• Like I said already, Artoo doesn’t give the map to the Resistance, leading to Rey going on a one year search to find Luke. The credits roll after the Falcon jumps to hyperspace.

Sooo good,that is what i have locking for, i Just wish that some way to improve the lightsaber fight

Did you gonna edit the full prequel Triology or the full saga ?

in this version besides Shaak-Ti, will Anakin kill other Jedi? And tell more about your VFX

Any updates ?

Feels good to me

Okay
These questions will be about your version, come on:
1-Dooku will be a sith or will you make him a jedi? Dooku is Jedi in Ep I and Sith every other movie
2-Darth Maul will be revived and will General General Grievous be replaced? (not visually, but as a matter of character, someone re-dub him, making it Darth Maul) No
3-Do you intend to be faithful to Canon? generally yes
4-Will you change some lightsaber fight scenes, so they have Waiting? No
5-In your version Yoda will fight Darth Sidious? At least in some versions
6-In ep 3, will the clones call Anakin “General Skywalker”? No they never talk to him in the movie
7-Do you intend to make a similar edit with OT? Same thing with Sequels? No plans till i finish what ive begun
8-What is your ranking of Star wars movies Anything made by Lucas is gold, and then there is Rogue One. The rest, meh.
9-Padme will not die? In some versions
10-in your version, dooku makes an appearance in ep1, will General Grievous make an appearance in ep 2? No plans as of yet.

No big plans for Ep II and III just yet till i finish Ep I to know the full range of what i can or cannot do. Still lots to do on Ep I.

(Answers in your post)

Thank you
