It feels kind of sloppy, but I wonder if that’s just because of the music.

She does give a pretty good performance. I wonder if it could be used if cropped.

I like the battle droid head. In a fan-made edit that isn’t trying to distance itself from the prequels, it’s a harmless easter egg that brings the prequels closer to the Original Trilogy. Sucks that the prequels couldn’t do that themselves, but it’s fine.

This parallel, though, I think is really unintentional. I have a hard time believing a Hollywood blockbuster is going to take a firm political stance in this decade. However, it’s not hard to read this, and the new EU makes it even easier. It would definitely be a good idea for sequel fanedits to lean even further into this.

One thing I noticed was that you used the Theatrical “A long time ago” text, instead of the newer version that appeared in the Special Editions and prequels. However, upon further inspection of a '97 PAL DVD and '97 Laser Disc, for some reason the new text was only added to Empire and ANH, and Return of the Jedi still has the theatrical text, so your reconstruction is still accurate.

The latest version is great, although it needs more of the Vader robotic voice. Although maybe just being in context would help it fit a lot better. The one at the end of the last page wasn’t all that bad, maybe that helped it.

On that note, restore George’s original vision for Yoda

My personal opinion is that you should use the HDTV preservations.

Even that “Disney” one doesn’t look half bad.

That’s really good, actually. I was worrying about how to make the fight shorter for RotS Abridged, but couldn’t really figure it out. This works surprisingly well.

To make it seem like Anakin and Darth Vader are different people use the hologram between Vader and Palpatine from ESB but tweak it to have Vader told to kill Anakin.

That’s probably a good idea, but to have that in the movie and then not following it up would be really weird, and you couldn’t really follow up on that without undermining it.

Maybe we can deepfake Hayden over existing footage of Lloyd and redub the voice. He’d just be an older kid who hasn’t quite hit his growth spurt yet.

Kids teasing him for being small is why he turns to the dark side.

Ironic. The script for the Original Star Wars says Vader is seven feet tall.

On screen text, especially the text in GotG 1&2 is my bane. I’m trying to make consistent date and location texts (especially when it comes to font) and move the logos and credits to the beginning and end, but these two movies can be a pain in the neck about it.

I was thinking about putting text cards detailing which universe Endgame stuff takes place in. This is especially to help contradictory scenes that might be running close in time. Simultaneous contradictory scenes would be pretty easy to digest (such as the opening of GotG1 with the Morag scene from Endgame), but something like Loki escaping in Endgame will be just two scenes before he’s shown captured and sent to Asgard (from Avengers 1). What do you guys think? Also, how should the six different timelines be named, since I can’t seem to find any official names?

Perhaps we can exchange notes?

PM me if you’re interested, but it also sounds like our fanedits are pretty different.

You could name each timeline after the movie events that Endgame revisted.
I.e.
2012 - Loki timeline
2013 - Asgard timeline
2014 - Guardians timeline
and so forth.

Not a bad idea

Update time! The move has gone well, the new floor is not yet installed but most other things are unpacked including my workstation. So I’m back at it, still trying to nail down this ending sequence right now:

Zoo wee mama that’s pretty sexy. I like the concept, but also I just wanna say how much I love some of the details, too, like there being no iris before the credits, we just pan to the starfield.

The core of the lightsabers are a little blue.

It looks beautiful!

I toyed with that idea once upon a time. I’m sure someone can dig up my mockups (just images, not in motion).

In another thread I made motion versions. I didn’t even render new crawls, just masked out the Episode number, so it looked authentic.

I’ve actually been looking for something like that, because I’m not a Marvel expert. Thanks!

I do plan on showing the dates. My friend actually told me about Fury’s Big Week, although he wasn’t super specific (sorry if you’re reading this) and so I opted to put it in the order it’s in. There’s some other statement by the people who worked on the MCU I read back in 2015 or something that unless otherwise noted, the movies take place the year they come out. Obviously you can’t take that too seriously, Iron Man 2 and Thor are supposed to take place close together in time, they both came out in 2010 and 2011, yet Iron Man 2 takes place 6 months after 2008’s Iron Man 1. However, I tried following that rule where it made sense.

Me and my friends actually skipped Incredible Hulk while rewatching it, so I haven’t put it in yet.

doesn’t necessarily have any confirmed time placement

Yeah, I agree, and originally I put it in 2008, but again my friend convinced me. I’ll look at the video you recommended to see what they have to say.

Marvel Studios has put out these very short news videos on YouTube called “WHIH Newsfront” … Would you consider putting these in your chronological edit as a sort of buffer between the movies?

The one-shots, webisodes, and WHIH Newsfront are more likely to go in than the shows, but I’m not sure either way which I’ll decide. I’m thinking I might put them in, though, since they’re not that long and they spice it up.

Jumping was invented by John Jay Jumping, when he tried to stand up twice.

“Gift” in German means “poison”.

“Mist” in German means “Manure”, which is why when a perfume company (whose name I forget) tried selling their new “Mist” perfume it didn’t sell so well in Germany.

SethBling technically has a tied world-record speedrun of Dragster. He played it on an Atari 2600 Emulator he made in minecraft, but that’s technically legal.

Blaster bolts clip.
I’m starting to work on ANH edit. New title: “The son of Skywalker”. Other suggestions? I don’t really like “A new hope”.
Here’s a short clip, anyway. Of course it’s made frame by frame.

I’ve used the title “The Saga Begins”, but it doesn’t work so well if you put a lot of importance on the prequels.

Some 50s Sci-Fi movie inspired titles: “The Planet Destroyer”, “The Thousand World Empire”

The problem I think is that “Star Wars” is the perfect title for this movie.

If you want the chronology to be as accurate as possible, I suggest that you take a look at this detailed timeline that dozens of people have put together:

https://www.thecomicboard.com/threads/marvel-cinematic-universe-timeline-continued.14631/

All of the canonical tv shows are also in place on this timeline that you’ll have to ignore (unless you want a 500+ hour fan edit) since you’re just focusing on the movies.

I’ve actually been looking for something like that, because I’m not a Marvel expert. Thanks!

I noticed you put Iron Man in 2010 and separated Iron Man 2, Thor, and The Incredible Hulk, whereas those three movies are usually put in the same week titled “Fury’s Big Week” according to other material. … The specifics porbably won’t matter to this fan edit unless you wanted to display the year on screen upon changing.

Obviously though if people are coming into the thread and pointing it out, Iron Man 2 and Thor taking place in the same week is probably pretty commonly accepted. I’ll fix that.

Me and my friends actually skipped Incredible Hulk while rewatching it, so I haven’t put it in yet.

I’ll probably split it into parts. A 48 hour fanedit in one piece is probably pretty daunting, even if you never planned on watching the whole thing either way.
