In June, me and my friends went to go see Wonder Woman. We weren’t expecting much (because my friend who’d seen it before us said it wasn’t any good), but were blown away. Maybe it’s just that I’ve only seen it once, but it’s my favorite Superhero movie.

Except for one thing: Towards the end, Steve says that maybe all evil in the world isn’t because of one guy. Maybe you can’t just have one scapegoat, the world’s more complicated than that. Cool, maybe a little cliche at this point but who cares. I liked it. But then… turns out… nope! Turns out you can blame everything on one guy!

Hated it. Any power the movie had was instantly destroyed. It would’ve been fine if the movie had no message, but they put one in and then invalidated it. Bad.

So, me, being into fanediting, and my friends, who also didn’t like it, had wanted to make a fanedit of Wonder Woman removing that. There is no Ares in this fanedit. Steve was right.

I’m gonna want to watch the movie, or at least the ending one or two more times before being too certain about my battle plan (I have some ideas, but I may want to reevaluate after rewatching), but this is what it is right now:

-Steve’s speech
-Steve leaves
-Cut out the Ares reveal
-Steve by the airplane
-Cut out more Ares
-Move the explosion from later in the movie here
-Steve’s team freaking out (Cut out “If that’s who I think it is”)
-Steve’s battle plan
-Wonder Woman and Steve (replace it with the audible version)
-Steve runs to the plane
-Raid on the Dr. Poison’s joint
-Steve takes off
-RIP Steve );
-Probably something after that
-Victory Celebration

Nothing’s final, and that plan might not work (I’m not sure if that’s enough of an ending), and I might, instead of removing the Ares and keeping the speech, get rid of the speech and keep the Ares.

What do you all think?

Only one for the trilogy? Jedi Rocks. I can live with people not thinking Star Wars is the superb trilogy it is. But I can’t live with people hating Star Wars, which is exactly what Jedi Rocks makes people do.

Can I do one per movie in the OT? Jabba, Alert my Star Destroyer, and Jedi Rocks.

Can I also cover TPM? Then restore the original podrace.

I don’t really give a damn about the rest of the PT or TFA’s changes.

Someone requested I make a crawl for them of RotJ, but with the title Blue Harvest. That got me thinking, how do people feel about alternative titles that have nothing to do with the movies?

Here are the production titles
Star Wars: Episode I - The Dollhouse
Star Wars: Episode II - Jar Jar’s Big Adventure*
Star Wars: Episode VI - Blue Harvest
Star Wars: Episode VII - Foodles
Star Wars: Episode VIII - Space Bear
Star Wars: Episode IX - Black Diamond

Maybe for RotS, ANH, ESB, and E9…
Low Tide, the High King, High Tide, Skybeam (those are just dumb stuff I came up with, I’m sure you can do better)
Maybe “Whills” for ANH.

I think it’s interesting.

Now I have to cleanse my mouth (fingers?) for calling them by their episode numbers.

*Maybe just “The Big Adventure” or “Big Adventure”, that would be a horrible title.

As others have said, don’t let me hijack your project, but why would the Stormtrooper shoot the informant, then not Cassian?

Using the episode logos would be better, but, maybe I’m just dumb, but I’ve had trouble actually making those logos.

You can find vector versions of logos on various sites.

I do think I cropped the inside out manually, but I’m sure there’s easier ways.

Perfect! I might use them in my own fanedits! I’ve been trying to find/make logos for that but never could. Thanks!

It’s already finished, although after rewatching it recently I’m not super satisfied. I think I’m gonna make some changes, and cut out the celebration after all.

Using the episode logos would be better, but, maybe I’m just dumb, but I’ve had trouble actually making those logos.

Masking, to keep the style of the crawls.

Great work Sparky! I think the crawls look really fantastic.

Thanks!

Nice work! The stars in the middle of the screen seem to flicker just before “THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK” comes into view, but that’s the only flaw I noticed.

Weird. I don’t know why that happened. I can redo it if you guys want, but I won’t be able to until tomorrow.

Not my shot to call, but there’s no way to make that scene good. Him screaming is better, but every edit I’ve ever seen where he screams sounded cheesy as hell. I recommend cutting it.

(ANH’s crawl taken from Harmy Respecialized, ESB and RotJ from Harmy Despecialized, TFA from the Blu-Rey)

I left the original audio in ANH, even though if it were up to me, I’d replace it. Video starts 6 frames before “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” comes in, and ends at the end of the first shot. Like HAL9000 suggested, the title comes in when the Episode number would have. However, my personal recommendation would be for the crawl to come in when the OOT SW crawl came in. I’ll make one like that if anyone wants.

All 4 crawls use the “A long time ago” text from Harmy’s ANH Respecialized, just for continuity reasons. If you’d rather a different one, it’s easy to replace.

Edit: Youtube took them down, reuploaded on Vimeo.

Did a full costume test fitting of the wampa today and it’s just not working. One disaster after another. Claustrophobia and heat are a huge factor in the problems. But also the head slipping, causing the mouth not to open. It would take stripping out the inner head and remaking it. Months worth of work. But i’ve spent too much time and money on it now and i really don’t think that spending the extra is worth it. It was a long shot that failed and I’m sorry. I really wanted to be able to do this. But there comes a time when you just have to stop. Maybe its the curse of the Wampa. 😉

Maybe I’m being unrealistically optimistic, or maybe I’m just uninformed, but if you’re making an ANH:R2, can you redo the Wampa in an ESB:R2?

It’s pretty easy to just mask out the Episode number of the crawl. I can do that if we still wanna keep the general looks of the crawls.

Wait, is this a group thing, or is this OP’s project?

The footage found here is very nice, too!

Oh god, explosion rings, that doesn’t sound good for the future of the OOT.

I made some crawls for something like this about a month ago. I didn’t do TFA, and I’m not satisfied with RotJ (bad fade out), but this is still worth mentioning (unless you go with Tantive3+1’s suggestion, which isn’t a bad idea).

I’m redoing RotJ and making TFA right now. TFA is done!

-Star Wars: Episode I - A New Hope
-Star Wars: Episode II - The Empire Strikes Back
-Star Wars: Episode III - Return of the Jedi
-Star Wars: Episode IV - The Force Awakens

Edit: Fair warning, the ANH crawl’s audio isn’t from the actual movie, it’s the cover in the Special Edition Soundtrack release. Additionally, RotJ has a four-ellipses, not three like in the movie.

I think the only real solution is to ban everyone but me and then I can do whatever I want.

You’d get lonely pretty quick.

Dude loneliness is the best

Use old Obi-Wan and Luke as an intro and some voice overs

Very interested in that.

Ahhhhhhhhhh…too many ABDs!

Hold on, what the hell? Why are there two ABDs?

I used method 1. Remapped 100 to 200. Worked perfectly.

You can get a watch at Wal-Mart for 5 dollars that you can take up to like 150 meters under water for unlimited time.

I bought a watch like that there in 2014. Went swimming at a 10 foot deep pool. It broke.

I didn’t even go to the bottom with it on, it was 4 or so inches below the surface, max.

I really hate this change. Linguistics is a hobby of mine, and Aurebesh is one of the most poorly designed fictional writing systems ever, if not the most poorly designed one. It’s really just the English alphabet, with a few digraphs given their own letter, but the digraph letters are optional, anyway. I’d rather not think about it. I’d honestly prefer changing all the Aurebesh in the movies to the Latin Alphabet over changing that one piece of Latin to Aurebesh. I hate Aurebesh.

Aurebesh wasn’t created to be a plausible alphabet or even to be readable; it was created to look cool in the background of a movie in 1983. It’s more than adequate to the purposes of the original trilogy. If you’re watching those movies and all you can think of is “lore” and “worldbuilding” piled on years later, you might be watching them wrong.

While it wasn’t originally created with that in mind, they did create an actual system, and in the prequels, Special Editions, spinoffs, etc, you can actually translate Aurebesh. (And the change was made after Aurebesh got its own system, you can actually translate the “power” thing)

I’m pretty sure VFP was being sarcastic.

What???

Whoops!

Some guy named vote_for_palpatine said something, and people were taking him seriously when I thought he was sarcastic. Little did I know that this thread had 5 pages, not 1, and my comment wouldn’t be directly below the discussion, it would be multiple pages after it.

That worked. Thanks!

Edit: I had a problem, but I figured it out. Just in case anyone has the same problem, the starfield was zoomed in pretty far, because I made the output crawl 720p, but my input starfield was 1080p.

Make sure, when using this, the output crawl has the exact same dimensions as your starfield.

OK nevermind, it just plays faster and then freezes after 2245 frames.
