I don’t think many people will disagree on that one. Mark’s performance in ESB and Daisy’s performance in TFA are on par though.

Agreed, not enough people give Mark Hamill enough credit for acting most of the movie with a puppet that he couldn’t even hear and made it believable. Not many actors have the talent to pull that off.

The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread
Time

So I watched all of CinemaSins’ “Everything Wrong With The Prequels” and I noticed that he seems to have accidentally made the audio from the movie much deeper, however this actually makes Anakin have a much better sounding voice, you could just deepen the centre audio track while he’s talking and I think it would sound pretty good. Have a listen for yourself: https://youtu.be/-Iw_CZtq4LI?t=39s

Smithers' Prequel Fanedits (a Work In Progress)
Time

I’m pretty sure I’ve found the right title for my TPM edit, it’s “The Battle Begins”. This mirrors “The Empire Strikes Back” and “The Force Awakens” which both have “The <noun> <verb>”. I think this works pretty well and I don’t really care for mirroring ANH since the theatrical title was just simply “Star Wars” anyway.

Ideas: Reducing the Spectacle - Prequel Edits

^LOL
But ThomasBolt does bring up a good point, the prequels make everything seem like a big deal, we never got long overhead shots of Yavin IV or even Tatooine in ANH so why should every location or sequence in the prequels get such a grand treatment? These big shots are also not done well, if they were pulled off like something from a Ridley Scott film then I would have no problem with them but they really don’t hold up at all.

Here’s a comparison for a scene with Darth Maul:

I’ll post a few more in a bit. Any specific scene requests?

First off, that looks really good! It makes me realize that his hood and the robot were SUPPOSED to be black but got graded strangely, it reminds me a lot of TeamNegative1’s Star Wars 35mm Silverscreen preservations.

I’d like to see shots like this one: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwi2z8X5rpTLAhUN9GMKHUm-AOEQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Flucasfilm.wikia.com%2Fwiki%2FNaboo&psig=AFQjCNEvTF2oCDFJaSR7n4TGLDy7UOmmVw&ust=1456539582826173
and this one: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IjzbqYZ8-5g/maxresdefault.jpg

Those ones to me have very unnatural/fake looking grading, I’d like to see what you’ve done with them.

“TFA is fucking awesome. No edit ideas beacuse it’s so fucking perfect I would even have sex with the blu ray set”.

I apologize for calling you a troll earlier because I have seen the light. You’re not a troll; you’re most likely a teenager. The general lack of forethought before spewing nonsensical “points” was an indication but this is more damning evidence. I’ve even debated with a lot of people in your age group about Star Wars on youtube (I guess you can say mine too because I’m only 21) and the way in which you carry yourselves is so similar it’s depressing.
