Droids are invented a few decades before the prequels, and automation causes mass unemployment. The capitalists who own the working droids all shut themselves off from the rest of the galaxy, forming the Empire. The Rebellion’s ideology is Fully Automated Luxury Communism.
I put this on Reddit a few weeks ago, thought I’d share here.
Are all three movies being worked on at the same time, or are you doing them in order?
You should probably redo to crawl.
It’s in a major key and has been used ‘in-universe’ just like this in Rebels, for what it’s worth.

…the large monitor in the background of that busy area which is showing Imperial ‘recruitment’ footage of it’s fleet…is playing John William’s EMPIRE STRIKES BACK ‘Imperial March’ music to accompany it!
In both the Old and New EU, the Imperial March is the state anthem of the Empire, and the Main Theme is the state anthem of the Old Republic.
Issues? I’ll start with my obvious main issue. Han Solo being so whipped by a woman so early and so completely.
Some men are just like that.
What if Anakin was from Mimban (seen in Solo)?
Yes please
(i meant the ones that didn’t work)
I thought I already posted this, but I guess I didn’t.
The Kessel Run never happened, I swear to god! The original script said Han was full of baloney, and you can tell based off of Obi-Wan’s reaction. Could we cut dialogue to fix this? Or is it too much?
Inspired by Tarantino’s fetish for 70mm, the entire edit will be presented in that aspect ratio!
Don’t worry, shots that stopped working in the new aspect ratio have been re-framed.
Can you give some examples?
I don’t know the difference between HIV and CAPITALISM
Slow them down, or use interlacing.
They’re usually just text files under a weird extension.
I’m not really a fan of the colloquial dialogue like “Take a breath, man.” Feels out of place when the rest of the dialogue feels like they’re ancient samurai or whatever.
I’ll probably just edit the subtitle files myself but I felt like voicing this.
What if Episode II opened in a similar way to Episode V, with a Star Destroyer looking for a rebel base?
Wow, those effects.
PRAISE VEXED! THE MESSIAH HAS COME!
In all seriousness, these all look better than the Blu Ray, but in each comparison I couldn’t help but prefer the DVDs on each one. The change is a little dramatic, and should probably be toned down, but you’re definitely on the right track for sure.
I feel like this movie needs a purpose in the grander Star Wars saga. In a hypothetical universe where this edit was the prequel trilogy we got, what kind of twist could happen that would re-contextualize the Original Trilogy? Some great truth that would be revealed that would make you watch the originals in a new and exciting way?
Using a looser definition of twist, here are some ideas:
-Obi Wan turned Anakin (GeekyGlasses); Adds weight to Luke’s training, and proves Yoda and Obi-Wan to be fallible. (You already mentioned it, but here’s an argument for it, and also GeekyGlasses did it first, or at least before this)
-Anakin is a clone of Palpatine (Jason LaJoie); Turns Vader’s redemption into commentary on free will, that Anakin is not destined to be like Palpatine.
-The Obi Wan we see in the Originals is a clone of the Obi Wan we see in the prequels, and Vader is a clone of Anakin, Palpatine cloned them both to be dark side minions, but OB1 turned to the light; IDK lol it’s kinda cool
Additionally, if you wanted to be a little more meta, and aim the twist to people who’ve already seen Lucas’s prequels, you could make Palpatine a legit good guy, and Sidious an entirely different character, or even just using Palpatine as a puppet.
Edit so I don’t double post: Are the subtitles gonna be burned in or on a file? Would you be able to give the option?
In here
Also interesting how the edit implies that this event nudged Luke out of his isolation a little.
Wow, the beginning is just amazing. Surpassed my expectations by miles!
How soon is this gonna come out?
Anything from the prequels is cheating, so I’m gonna have to go with the scene with Maz Kanata in TLJ.
Well… does calling a Lightsaber a LifeSaver for at least a year count?
My dad says I called them shoomers because of the sound they made.
Heck yes
Same
If this thread isn’t dead and people wanna see Star Wars: Episode V - The Last Jedi
