Could you also make the reveal of Kylo Ren being Han’s son a reveal? I think it would give the Han/Kylo scene more emotion.

How could a twist that people saw coming way before the film came out add emotion? I can’t even wrap my mind around that one.

The music ending later would make the death less predictable, thus invoking a surprise, thus invoking emotion

POSSIBLE MAJOR EDIT: The Republic planets are destroyed at the end of the movie, not the middle. This would removed Hux’s speech, but make the finale much more emotional.

This would be awesome, I think that you could work in Hux’s speech as well, it would just have to be spaced out from the other scenes that contain him.

Could you also make the reveal of Kylo Ren being Han’s son a reveal? I think it would give the Han/Kylo scene more emotion.

I think I can help you with music removal once I get the blu-ray, I’ll probably have it around the end of this month so stay tuned 😄

Looks really good! The colours are much better and your replaced music for Han’s death is really good! I just think that the music should end a little later, maybe when it cuts to Rey and Finn rather than to the lightsaber, or maybe just remove the shot of Rey and Finn and just have the song carry on from one to another. I think you have the perfect idea for the scene though.

Well I plan on keeping those, more like what Finn says “have a boyfriend? Cute boyfriend?” Or maz saying “where’s my boyfriend!” Also I may trim the “Who’s in charge now phasma” a little

Idk, I liked the ‘cute boyfriend’ joke, but the others I can understand. Just please for the love of god leave Chewie talking to the rebel doctor, I thought that bit was hilarious.

^Agree

It’s still in the works, I’m just working away at it but I assure you it will be done.

For those of you that do not understand cough Scott cough these are not like any other edit of the PT, they are supposed to be a new experience so please don’t tell me to reinstate characters or plotpoints that have no business being in my edit. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t work Jango Fett into it without causing confusion, the same thing goes for almost all of Scott’s suggestions.

Blu-Ray and other HD box size STAR WARS covers

It should come as a surprise to no one that I’ve made a custom cover for Star Wars The Force Awakens. (And will probably do a few more in the upcoming weeks.)

Available to share with all you forum-folk 😃

This one uses the Adam Relf poster artwork. (Good as it is, the absence of Han Solo is a major oversight, and the prominence of Luke is quite misleading.) I reformatted the poster to fit on a Blu-ray front and adjusted the colours more to my liking, otherwise I left it alone.

PM me for links.

Oh shoot, how do I paste images into posts now? I really loathe this new forum software!

Looks way better than the official blu-ray even if Solo is missing and Luke is really big

There’s also the possibility that Rey was really angry and pissed off at Ren by that point, and was dipping her toe in the Dark Side, much like Luke did when he beat Vader in ROTJ. All the more reason she needs Luke to teach her now.

I like the idea of Rey becoming a master of Vaapad like Mace Windu.

I don’t

  1. Do you expect me to believe that Kylo Ren destroyed the New Jedi Order but lost to a girl with no lightsaber training?

  2. And it took him forever to do it. What a wimpy villain! I laughed during that scene. It was supposed to be poignant, but it was only pathetic.

This is something that many people can’t get through their heads, Kylo Ren was kicking her ass until she channeled the force and caught him off guard, I’ll also point out that he had just taken a bullet to the abdomen which would probably give you less of an edge. Another thing is that Kylo has next-to-no lightsaber practise, the only stuff he fights are defenseless villagers and computer monitors

  1. Cut Luke’s line “Do you remember your mother…your real mother?” to “Do you remember your mother?” so Leia’s memories can be of her adoptive mother.

Ok wait… you are telling him to make a change in the OT in order to fix a continuity error that the PT created?! And then you comment on my edit thread telling me to make it so that Padme dies?! WHAT

THE PHANTOM MENACE

  1. Retain Yoda in Episode I. Yoda is the Grand Master of the Jedi Council and one of the few redeeming features of the film. Removing his character would not preserve any revelations.
  2. Personally, I like the idea of Anakin destroying the Droid Control Ship at such a young age, a feat which demonstrates his abilities as a pilot.
  3. Do not re-dub Darth Maul.
  4. Keep Darth Sidious.

ATTACK OF THE CLONES & REVENGE OF THE SITH.

I dislike all of these changes:

  1. No, keep Padmé’s death and merely remove the line, “She has lost the will to live.” Her death is poetic: Padmé dies as Anakin is reborn as Darth Vader.
  2. The Jedi Order is a monastic order of warrior monks, so the forbidden love theme makes sense.
  3. No, keep Padmé’s death and merely remove the line, “She has lost the will to live.”
  4. As a Jedi Master, Mace Windu’s lightsaber should be green, not purple or blue.
  5. No, keep all of the lightsaber duels except for Yoda’s.
  6. No, General Grievous should be a different character.
  7. No, Jango Fett is a bad ass.

Dude how about you actually give helpful suggestions rather than writing off all of my changes as stupid? Go watch the theatrical versions if you dislike all of my ideas, and there are a shit ton of other fanedits that do exactly what you describe. I’m actually aiming to make the prequels good, not just cut out a few lines. Honestly why did you even reply to my thread if you disagree with all of my changes?
