So ANH and TFA both start off in space, then they cut to our hero, then our earlier introduced characters end up meeting and needing them. So in order to make TPM mirror ANH more, wouldn’t it be better to introduce Anakin before the other characters meet him? I think it would make more sense, one idea is to show Anakin being forced into a podrace by Watto and barely losing to Sebulba. Rather than having one long three-lap podrace, you could introduce Anakin earlier, establish him as a good pliot and have two short and exciting podraces. What do you guys think?

If you could pull that off, that would be awesome.

I think I’m actually doing this in my edit, I’ll upload a clip soon.

You could recut it like a silent film, filling in the story with cards in between scenes.

It’s already been done 😃

THX1138

George added a bunch of CGI Machinery that doesn’t blend well at all as well as some CGI monkeys that look like they’re straight outta Jumanji

Yeah, but if you keep making ‘improvements’, soon there’s nothing left to watch. 😉

Every time I try to re-edit AOTC it turns out to be 20-40 minutes long. There’s no way around the awfulness.

The Avengers (samspider3’s extended edition): 8/10

This movie is a lot of fun, I like it more everytime I watch it.

Daisy Ridley posted part of that video on her instagram lol

I love it! They look like official releases.

Also, speaking of Jar-Jar’s voice…I’m still having a bit of trouble with it. I’m just not satisfied with what I’ve got so far, and I consider his voice to be one of the most important aspects of this edit. I’ll post some comparison links soon, but for everyone who has seen an edit with a redubbed Jar Jar…what worked, and what didn’t? Is there a version you were completely happy with? Is there a version you disliked?

Well here are the ones I’ve seen:

• Magnoliafan’s version was alright at most parts except for when it was obviously reversed.

• The anti-cheese edits sound too deep and feel like he’s always ending his sentences with question marks.

• Yads’ version “The Lone Gungan Edition” (it’s on myspleen listed as “TPM radical re-edit”) sounded pretty good, I don’t remember anything wrong with it but I’d have to watch it again to make sure.

Just try to avoid making it sound like modified human voices, try not to make it too deep or reverse it. I’d try to draw inspiration from the alien languages from the OT (Greedo, Jabba, Droids, etc.) if I were you, they sound very natural and real while still keeping it simple.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) – 8/10
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014) – 8/10

I’d suggest you just skip part two if you haven’t seen it yet.

Great work!

This was really entertaining haha. I like how they managed to roto out the characters from the films and pretty seamlessly integrate them. Gives me ideas for that kind of thing to be done in fanedits. Threepio could be given a whole new story in the prequels. If one could manage to roto out jar jar, 3po could take his role in the story as the comic relief.

I think someone brought that up in the radical redux ideas thread. It would be much more entertaining on Naboo with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan insulting him and questioning his intelligence.

I suddenly have an idea!

Subtitle the sand people to make it one big misunderstanding!

Aren’t I original?!

Personally I really enjoy the OT music except it feels wrong listening to Owen’s and Beru’s death music over Qui-Gon’s. That didn’t fit so well. Otherwise I quite enjoyed it.

Thanks! I’ll try out something different for his death but I liked the way the theme played over his dialogue and how the transition plays into the next scene.

Earl said:

I for one, dislike the use of ANH music, it just feels weird to hear it in a movie that’s so tonally and aesthetically different than the OT (Granted, TPM is the closest to OT in terms of effects and looks in the entire PT so maybe I’m just being biased lol).

Well I don’t really know what to say, you probably won’t like this edit 😕

sansuni said:

How goes to process of rotoscoping jar jar? (or rather, how do you plan on entirely getting rid of him?)

Image keying is actually pretty easy, it’s just a matter of making masks.

Aliens (Director’s Cut) 8/10

Other than all of the “JamesCameron-isms” (stupid military characters, too many one-liners, humans being the worst beings ever, etc.) it’s a pretty good movie. The new robot character is much better than the first one and Ripley’s character expanded quite a bit.

Only for Netflix US, is it? So, the Great White North continues to get the shaft?

What a bunch of hosers, eh?

It sucks even more because Netflix just cracked down on DNS services so now we can’t even access it.

Alien (Director’s Cut) 8.5/10

The deleted scenes add depth to the more bland characters and some extended scenes work much better, although a few moments IMO work better in the theatrical version.

Here’s a few more clips, they mainly showcase the trimmed dialogue and the rescoring. I’ve left a lot of information in the description, let me know what you think!

Terminator: Genisys - 4/5
-I just can’t understand the hate for this movie. It’s a good turn-off-your-brain popcorn flick.

I went into it thinking it would completely suck but I really enjoyed it!

More awesomeness!

In the Heart of the Sea 7.5/10

Pretty good, too long though.

Oh Brother, Where Art Thou 9/10

Hilarious and very fun. Highly recommended.

Would the Dagobah scene where Yoda confirms that Vader is Luke’s father be kept in this altered storyline?

To keep prequel continuity yes. Theoretically this would leave in Luke going to Dagobah and only alter the space battle, jabba subtitles, disguised leah subtitles, jabba palace outside shots and possibly outside shots of the attempted execution, and the space battle. Some minor changes throughout would be needed and scenes rearranged and spliced but that’s the main idea.

This actually might be doable, it would be especially convincing if Jabba’s palace was color-corrected to look more like dark, wet dirt that sand or rocks

Time to get a blu-ray burner…
