Thanks Solemn, that’s great to hear. I’ll add in a little more about those bomb droids then, for sure.

For Padmé, getting her on the street without a lot more content needing to be included was tricky, since originally she was with Onaconda talking to another senator at the senator’s house. The problem with reinserting that is that she leaves Ono in very good spirits, which means I wouldn’t be able to use the reflections on all the bad stuff around her while she’s wandering. I tried to hint at it in the scene just before she sees that Ono’s been injured, by adding a line “I’ll check around the other senators” or similar, but it seems like that’s not quite filled the gap for you.

I’m not sure what other options I have here, so I’m open to ideas…

I watched the scene with Padme again and I see the line you added. It didn’t seem to sink in the first time, perhaps because Padme bumps into the injured senator right after. I wonder if the line could be added to her initial “thoughts” as she is flying in to the location? I don’t know if it would work with the other thoughts she is wrestling with though. Whatever the case, I think your current edit is fine (especially now that I see the line that hints at where she is going). Don’t fret about it too much. One could also just assume Padme is heading home after a long day at work.

Review cut / Workprint available - s03e01 - The Politics of War

32 minutes long, comprising Heroes on Both Sides, Pursuit of Peace, and Senate Murders.

I just watched your latest edit EddieDean and you’ve turned these episodes into an excellent single episode. It has been a long while since I’ve seen the original episodes and I had a hard time seeing/remembering what was cut or rearranged (which is a testament to your great editing).

I only have two nitpicks: The bomb bots appearance felt a bit sudden. I am also not sure why (or where) Padme is walking in the dark before being attacked. I don’t know if there are any scenes to add a bit more context or smooth these over. Whatever the case, these are minor criticisms for an otherwise amazing edit.

With five hours of content, you could consider a film trilogy. Whatever the case, I think Westworld is in desperate need of a fanedit and I am curious to see what editors might come up with.

I am looking forward to watching this edit. It might be a good version to watch with my more prudish father. I see a lot of discussion about the removal of nudity, but I am also curious to know what storylines you removed/reduced as well.

I like your ideas. I used this guide during my first episodic viewing. It gives a clear view of the arcs, so I usually watched it two or three episodes in one sitting.

Hi! I have been watching this project and it’s predecessor for a while from the shadows. I think that if a voice actor could be found, the first act of the movie could flow like this; chapter 9 opening, replace the tatooine line with trask, or mon calamari. Then cut to an establishing shot of trask, and go on from the restaurant scene. You could then cut out any boba Fett stuff from the rest of the season and focus on the main story. I think this would work well for establishing what I think don’s arc in the season will be. Thanks!

It is an interesting idea, but it might be challenging getting around the broken ship (especially since the subsequent repair job was haphazard). It might be possible to use other shots of the ship in flight, but I am not sure about leaving the planet itself.

For me, most of the 1st EP should stay, most of the 2nd should go.
Maybe the transition shouild be from him saying it Will be a trouble to go without hyperspace, to him landing with the crashed space ship? It would be a humorous Way to show he was right, without gettin into details 😅
Im really curious how the season will go, and how structure wise to make it one or 2 movies

That’s what I’m leaning towards. I’m seriously considering using the Chapter 5 dogfight to bridge that gap and take it out of my first film.

Perhaps another dog fight or damaging situation will happen this season that you can use.

I did the same thing when I watched it with my wife recently. 😃

Cool, what music did you use for the end credits? I just used the regular Rebels outro music.

I didn’t do anything fancy with the audio. I just had it fade into the normal credits.

The edit is finished, yes!
And yes, I did cut the sillier moments from both.
The caretakers appear in two scenes. First when Rey shoots the hole. You can’t cut this scene if you want to implement the deleted scene, because Luke introduces them here. The second time is in the deleted scene (caretakers village), which is an important scene for the movie I think. They work good as background characters and I don’t think they are too silly in these scenes.
The porgs are in 2-3 scenes. Maybe I could have removed more, but I like them…and my girlfriend loves them, so I would get some difficulties if I would have cut too much 😉 If you want to watch it yourself, just PM me.

I actually like the deleted scene as well. It is funny, but no overly silly in my opinion and I am glad to see it added into the film.

This looks intriguing. Is the edit complete?

Did you cut the sillier moments from the Porgs and Caretakers? Most edits cut one or both of them out entirely. I think they are fine as background characters, as long as their sillier moments are cut. It appears to be the case in your training edit (where the rock usually hits the Caretakers Cart).

I’d be interested in a link to your edit.

I like the idea of leaving some of the narration and the colors definitely look better.

I am curious to check this out as well. I liked some aspects of the series, but it did drag in some parts.

There is an International Uncut and a U.S. Director’s Cut with differing material: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091203/alternateversions?tab=cz&ref_=tt_trv_alt

Most edits I’ve seen are of Highlander II, but there is at least one recent edit of the first film: https://ifdb.fanedit.org/highlander-the-black-knight/

There are flashback scenes in Highlander II. There might be some useful material there that could be brought into the first film.

I hadn’t seen this, so I am glad someone revived this thread. Some nice visual work. It would be amazing to see the whole film get a similar facelift, but I imagine it would be quite the effort.

I am interested in a link as well. Thanks. 😃

“Used a reversed shot to extend the pause between the blaster shot and IG falling to the ground.”

I love the edit for this alone. I always thought it was too quick.

I skimmed the first few episodes and I really like some of the ideas, such as with the first Hulk film and what looks like some important moments from Agents of SHIELD (which I’ve never watched). I will definitely check this out in full when I have time and some additional episodes are out.

I just watched a bunch of your Vimeo clips and there are some interesting ideas in there to make it work as a film. Looking forward to watching the full edit! It will be a good refresher for Season 2.

Are you still going with the Day 1, Day 2, etc type of edit? It might interesting to split it into episodes that are 45-60 minutes (each day).

Are you still working on your edit Delpheas? Most other edits I’ve found use the theatrical cut of Revenge of the Sith. I think the NFBism’s New Canon Cut is the one of the best fanedits of Episode III and I am really curious to see how your addition of The Clone Wars final arc.

Did you use the original theatrical cut as your base for episode III?

If so, I wonder if using NFBisms New Canon Cut as your base might make your edit even better (NFBisms edit aims to make Episode III more in sync with The Clone Wars show, as well as improve Anakin’s fall and fix some excesses in the film).

I’d be interested in checking your edit out Mr. Lightyear. : )

I loved season 1 of Stranger Things, but the subsequent two seasons were a bit too bloated for me. Curious to see how movies 2 and 3 turn out. It would be interesting to do Movie 2.5 with the El storyline.
