Help Wanted: NEED ISOLATED BITS AND PIECES of dialogue and sound effects sequences from A NEW HOPE
Time

While, not exactly “legit” these are some nice sound effects only recreations of certain scenes:

P.S. The Auralnauts stuff could still be usable…you might have to edit around a few additions they’ve made. 😉

JEDIT: Wrong thread…but I’ll leave it here anyway!

You might notice I typically don’t chime in when it comes to crawl discussion. I’m not much of a writer…plus I don’t have this movie memorized like I do the OT and the PT…so I can’t say with great confidence what will or won’t be affected by crawl changes.

That being said, this current idea for the crawl and your logic seems to make sense! I like it! 😛

The <strong>Original Trilogy</strong> Radical Redux Ideas Thread

Great article:
http://www.forcematerial.com/home/2016/9/28/how-the-force-awakens-fixed-a-problem-with-a-new-hope-that-nobody-noticed

This is not something that ever occurred to me.

If one wanted to try and remedy this “problem” in ANH, how about Luke using the lightsaber (instead of the blaster) to do some damage to the controls that extend the bridge?

The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread

I do think AOTC could’ve been quite a bit better had they an additional editor working on it. It was just Lucas and Burtt. I have no proof of this, but I think Paul Martin Smith, editor of TPM, had a larger impact on that film than we may know. I know there are those who feel TPM is the worst…BUT in terms of editing, I feel like TPM is miles above AOTC and ROTS.

ACTUALLY, this brings up something I’ve had in a back of my mind for a while:
There is no one resource for this subject. Anyone that intends to make a radical fan edit has to do this sort of thing from scratch…searching youtube and other lesser known websites to find a small snippet of dialogue or sound effect (or filmed element) to maybe possibly insert into their edit.

It would be really helpful (aka cool) if someone (not me) started to put together a version of each OT (and even PT) film and wherever possible and applicable, insert dialogue and/or sound effects only tracks.
Of course these could be added to once more resources were either found OR if someone began to tackle recreating elements.
ALSO something else that could be apart of these editions is the inclusion of certain shots that have been rotoscoped (or somehow altered) by our lovely fan editors as possible resources.

Just throwing that idea out there for anyone who might want to tackle it. It’s not like it would be a big project! 😛

Lucas should have given Obi-wan a robot leg in the ANH Special Edition in 1997 so that people would have speculated endlessly over the next 8 years about when during the prequels he lost it, then never have him sustain this injury, making it clear that it just happened sometime later and had no bearing on the plot.

And he could have made it C-3PO’s missing gold right leg.

Well see now that’s almost interesting, so it would have never happened.

Do we have any sort of official statement from anyone at Lucasfilm as to WHY this ronto was added to this specific shot? It really does not make sense. The shot was populated enough as it was, right George? Did he not like the white R2 unit? Why not recolor it instead? I just don’t get it. sigh

Watching this “your mother” scene several times lately and noticed something that hadn’t dawned on me before:

Vader: conduct your search and bring his companions to me

Then no search is ever shown. It doesn’t affect the plot. Just a throw away line that doesn’t matter. Shame.

There is no need to show the search, we know it’s happening, and it would just slow down the movie.
And it is not a throw away line. It gives the audience information that Vader is not effected by Luke’s presence, he is still cold and calculating, and we need to see Luke reaction as he realizes that.

I certainly agree with you about it showing Vader is still cold and calculating. I’m not suggesting the line be cut.

But I DO think it could’ve been worked into the plot to build some tension somehow. The empire now knows there are possibly more rebels on the forest moon. So Han and company could’ve been hiding from some troopers on their way to the shield generator. At the very least, it could’ve added a nice little beat in between scenes. If done well, it wouldn’t really slow the movie down at all…it would add some tension that is lacking at this point in the movie. It would show that the rebels don’t have it made nearly as easy the movie implies (ex: Ewok steals speeder, “It’s over commander”, etc)

I think what’s slightly jarring is that the camera movement as it is now is not “flowing” with the shot before…if that makes sense. BB8 is moving from left to right, but the next shot has more movement (mostly from 3PO) on the far left (not too mention a large wookie) so your eyes don’t quite know where to look.

Something that might help with that shot is to zoom in slightly (can you center the 3 dudes or add more of Liea?)…and possibly position the frame closer to the bottom, and then have it slowly rise up…maybe even pulling back out a bit…as if it could’ve been an alternate angle filmed with Poe kneeling with and BB8. Am I making sense? 😄

My ROTJ fixes &amp; changes project thread
Time

I forgot to comment on your video, paja. Love the idea…but yeah another source for Lukes hand would be ideal. I was going to mention using Qui-Gons hand moving the dice in TPM…but he’s not wearing gloves…oh wait, Lukes not wearing gloves in this scene, is he?

JEDIT: All of this talk of ROTJ made me think of some of my older videos…I still have a few. I re-uploaded a some here for you guys:

I’ve got a couple more…but those will have to wait for now 😉

OK, I was waiting for one to finish uploading…added it above!
