Oh man, I had not noticed these things until now. They will never not be caught by my eyes now so this project is a must for me. Great Work! Looks extremely promising. Has anybody so far planned on not doing a fan edit but strictly an extended edition of the force awakens with the “searching the falcon” and “speeder chase” scenes with corrections like xxtelecine is making. I feel that would be a brilliant project to put together. Like "Force Awakens xxtelecine EXTENDED EDITION"

I’ll probably be doing an extended edition if the special effects are complete and I’d definitely use xxtelecine’s changes if I do so.

Oh I didn’t see the falcon, here’s the (or close to) original:

If the special effects are complete on the deleted scenes then I’m sure people will do it, and if no one does than I will.

Looks cool. Can you post the original for comparison?

It’s in the first post

Have not seen it, cannot vouch for it.

That looks pretty cool! I’ll check it out

I also enjoyed John Carter , a fanedit could easily make it much better.

I liked the Lone Ranger as well, I don’t see what’s so bad about it other than the fact that it’s pretty much another Pirates movie except with a western setting.

Sounds pretty good actually.

That sounds good but I think I need to check and compare the original, so then I can see just how bad it was.

Thanks! I changed the pitch in audacity by -4.5% or -0.80 semitones. I think it turned out pretty good as well.

Sorry, there is no video here.
Either it was deleted or it never existed in the first place. Such are the mysteries of the Internet.”

Ah, even though I finished uploading it and it said my page was ready, it says: “Upload complete! Conversion will begin shortly. Your video was successfully uploaded and is almost ready to appear on Vimeo. We just need to finish saving your source file and prepare your video to be encoded. In a few moments, we’ll let you know how long this delightful technological process will take.”

EDIT: The video’s up now

^As a Canadian, I found that to be a-boot the best thing I’ve ever read.

So a little while ago, in the radical redux ideas thread I suggested that you could lower the pitch of Anakin’s voice in order to make him sound better, I tried it out for myself in one of the worst one of the scenes in AOTC. I think it improved the scene quite a bit, otherwise I left the scene unedited, I only changed Anakin’s voice. Here it is (note that this scene won’t even be in my edit but I thought this was the best example of how much better it sounds): https://vimeo.com/159893770

I see this ending up on Myspleen some day.

Hayden is actually pretty good in all the movies I forced myself to watch to find material for Frink’s edits. He’s really good in Shattered Glass and Awake.

He’s also really good in Life as a House and he’s lackluster in just about everything else I’ve seen him in, although those movies weren’t that good in the first place.

Everything about the production was first rate. Good humor. This one joins TOMMORROWLAND, THE GIVER, and AMERICAN ULTRA among my list of all-time favorites!

I like those movies, they’re all underrated. But your all-time favorites?! Really?

We now have a perfect mass-psychology progra…I mean…delightful animation with an important message for our youth. And a PERFECT theme song to go with it! “TRY EVERTHING!” As we all know, this fear of turning comes from these despicable “lambs” who are ALL really just Westboro Baptist hatemongers… -“Be cheaper than a two dollar whore” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERYTHING!”-… Yet they would still DARE to teach their offspring that the predators are the problem with their mind opening drugs, and destruction of “normal” sexuality, and revolutionary overturning of all that humanity has considered essential in order to live as “our creator” has intended for such beings to live. Now this youth can recognize that ALL evil can be traced back to the prey that DARES to have ANY concern about their VASTLY morally superior predators… -“Do meth, crack, weed and pills” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERYTHING!”-… Why, predators are the real victims of slander and conspiracy of the prey. Because that’s what PREY does, NOT PREDATORS… -“Run trains for foreign gangbangers and pretend you don’t notice they want the rest of your family to die” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERTHING!”…“Don’t worry about consequences you just get back out and” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERYTHING!”… Of course, there will be those who DARE to suggest that girls have wound up as addicted prostitutes and even been killed by “TRY EVERYTHING!” Others have destroyed their futures by out of wedlock births along with every other “social pathology”. They might claim to know some of these girls. There might even be some who would try to point out that this is a PERFECT expression of the enlightened philosophy of needing to experience bad in order to have a balanced appreciation of good and evil. They might DARE to say that it is bashing your neighbor’s child’s head against a brick wall to have a balanced understanding of not hitting one’s head, but that just proves how evil those naysayers are… -“Wreck your natural sexuality and desensitize yourself to the filthiest practices then say you were born that way” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERYTHING!”-… I saw tween girls in the theater jump up and dance… -“Be a drugged-up oozing slop-skanks” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERYTHING!”…

What the hell? Where should I even start? Actually, I won’t start. That would take too long to break down… whatever THAT was.

But AOTC is the worst no matter the presence or non-presence of CPY.

I agree that AOTC is the worst but I don’t see what’s so wrong with creep-puppet-yoda, at least he’s somewhat believable unlike the CGI-shitpile that is the new version.

I said “WRONG” regarding TPM being the worst, then posted a picture of CPY…because CPY is the best thing in the PT and that automatically makes TPM the best of the three movies.

Ohhh, well then sure. CPY (though he won’t have any lines) will be in my edit btw

The argument that George Lucas always intended the Jedi to be selfless and emotionless people is not true. Hell, in the first draft of TPM (found here: http://starwarsuniverse2.tripod.com/id7.html) Obi-Wan ends up falling in love with Anakin’s mother!

OBI-WAN: I’m so sorry.

I fairness that’s actually a good line in the PT

Well The Force Awakens was the big winner at last nights Empire Film Awards.

Best Sci-Fi/ Fantasy
Best Male Newcomer - John Boyega
Best Female Newcomer - Daisy Ridley
Best Director
Best Visual Effects

I’d say it doesn’t deserve best director but the rest are reasonable. I’m surprised it didn’t get best original score.

I think this video pretty much sums it up: https://youtu.be/UZvKihVTxwY
The reason I like the thin sabers is simply because it looks cool to me, so I won’t be getting this.

Critics often scoff at the moment when Anakin says, “I don’t like sand. It’s course and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.” But if you grew up on a desert planet and associated sand with slavery and with abandoning your mother at a young age, you would hate sand as well.

No, I would hate the planet.

For example, lets say someone lives in a bad, crime filled neighborhood. He wouldn’t say “I hate asphalt, because it makes the street I live on” he would say “I hate this street I live on.”

And they still wouldn’t say that in that scenario

^He meant because it would be illegal

How can I get a hold of the US Definitive Collection videos?? Mainly looking for supplemental material

Myspleen

Ah, where should I start… First off, I agree that the “forbidden love” plotpoint makes sense and functions just fine, but most people just disagree with it. The main reason that I dislike that subplot is because it makes the Jedi seem less likeable and I think it seems out of character for personalities such as Yoda to enforce that rule, but that’s just me.

The romance on the other hand is very strange. Padme spends the entire movie rejecting Anakin because he’s creepy (he “makes her feel uncomfortable”) and it would distract from being a Senator for the Queen. Finally at the end she confesses her love but the two characters aren’t even written to have truly romantic moments to show it. Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman have no on-screen chemistry either.

The fact that Anakin doesn’t like sand doesn’t bother anyone, it’s the fact that he says it and the fact that he uses it in a romantic way… It’s so strange.

I don’t see how the love story is complex, it’s the boring version of Romeo and Juliet except Romeo in this case is an awkward jerk whose lines make no sense.

The romance obviously isn’t the only problem behind AOTC, it’s pretty much everything from the horrible looking CGI to the bad dialogue to the boring politics to the boring EVERYTHING. The movie blows, but that’s just my opinion and I can’t change yours. I thought I’d just answer your question.

I liked it at first but asian Rey and OT troopers really ruined it.
