One thing that bothered me about the prequels, and is in the Last Jedi, is that they all use the same recording of the opening theme. TLJ uses the same recording as TFA. I’d change that.

On that same note, other than the Yoda scene, not a fan of them reusing old music. I’d also edit that out, where possible.

Which opening theme version would you suggest?

Not sure, because I’m not sure what you’d be able to get legally (because I don’t think anyone here wants to hire an orchestra just for a fanedit. However if you contacted someone who’s already got a recording, you could get one.

Edit: For example, I used this in my own personal fanedit of TPM. I wouldn’t recommend doing this in a released fanedit, though, because just ripping off their recording and releasing it without credit or permission is legally and morally questionable.

If anyone who knows how wished to run the BluRay (or relevant portions) through a color matcher with the Despecialized Edition, that would be the best option.

Didn’t NeverarGreat do something about the colors in the Blu-Rays?

Remove subtitle for “I want fifty thousand. No less.” if possible, with differing sources needing to closely match very similar shots

The Blu-Rays don’t have burned-in subtitles if that’s any help.

Erasing the Prequels Entirely

What stuff would we have to do to the Last Jedi for this?

Probably would have to get rid of…

the mention of Darth Sidious

The rest of the speech should stay, though. It could feel like the Ben’s Hut scene in ANH.

Even though the project is pretty dead, I’m still probably gonna make a “Star Wars: Episode V - The Last Jedi” crawl, and a Numberless TLJ crawl, too.

The crawl’s kind awkward.

It is a time of peril. The warring factions of the Resistance and the First Order have dealt cripplingly blows to one another.
Meanwhile, Rey completes her journey to find Skywalker, certain he can restore a spark of hope to the fight.
Finn and Poe Dameron aid General Leia Organa, in an effort to find a new base for the RESISTANCE to stand against the rising tyranny in the galaxy…

I’d replace the first paragraph with “It is a time of peril. The warring factions of the Resistance and the First Order have crippled one another, and both sides are itching to deal the final blow.”

“Both sides have attacked each other” is a weird thing to say in a crawl.

Star Wars: A (formerly?) 3-in-1 fanedit of the Original Trilogy (* unfinished project *)

So, shockingly, I am still working on this. I just have no idea on how to cut things, which is why it’s still not done after four months.

I think I’m gonna put this on the backburner, though, for a few weeks. I’m gonna sit down with my friends and just watch the thing, see if it’s any good, and note what I can cut out. They’re probably not gonna want to do that until before the Last Jedi, so… yeah.

As of now, it’s slightly under four hours long. Maybe this is just desperation, but could this be just kind of some long movie you plan ahead to watch, kind of a marathon movie?

It fades to black between Chapters 2 and 3, you could use that as an intermission.

I wouldn’t be opposed to a more natural burn scar/skin graft look, but the charred black “crispy” look doesn’t fit with it being two decades after the incident to me.

No, it’s pretty accurate.

Thanks for putting “burn victims” in my search history, btw.
