Cheers. Okay, seems all good now!
Cheers, bud. Try now.
“Return of the Jedi - The Non-Canon Cut” is a fan-made edit that exclusively recognizes the first six films of the Star Wars saga while incorporating footage from live-action shows and the sequel trilogy to enhance the viewing experience.
First change (WIP)

This is such a cool and unique idea! I really hope it wasn’t abandoned.
This is on the shelf for the time being. I will return to it; the HD I was using died, so I’ll have to start over. But I have a lot more ideas and will try to post more concepts soon.
Are you using AI to get lines for Jango? Also, nice sly use of low-res deleted scene on a viewscreen!
Ha ha, thanks. The voice is me doing an impression of Temuera Morrison.
Anakin and Padme leaving to save Obi-Wan
Here’s the latest clip.
Anakin meeting with Palpatine.
I wanted to hint at Palpatine’s fascination with the occult/ Sith. I’m a big fan of Polanksi’s The Ninth Gate and took a bit of inspiration from that.
Oh wow I love this!
Just posted a new clip in the original post, keen to hear your thoughts.
Thanks Losthead!
Cheer Paja. Added a new clip to the original post.
The opening crawl from the long-thought-lost Star Wars Episode II, The Hidden Planet (1956).
Immensely superior to the 2002 remake, The Hidden Planet captures the mythic nature of Kurosawa (The Seven Samurai, The Hidden Fortress), the suspense and intrigue of Jules Dassin (Rififi, The Naked City) and the fun and adventure of the 30’s and 40’s serials (Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers).
More clips to come.
Jango leaves for Coruscant
Dooku’s backstory
This is great!
Something I would like to see in a Phantom Menace edit is the removal of Podracing Arena. Make the Podrace seem like a local thing that takes place out in the desert. More a drag race than a chariot race. Tatooine is also way too populated/ prominent in The Phantom Menace.
Could I please get a link?
“I’m a pilot, y’know, and someday I’m gonna fly away from this place.”
This is the biggest flaw of the prequels, telling and not showing. The twin sunset says a lot more than a throw a couple of throw away lines.
Awesome.
I think the idea of having large ships hovering above Mos Espa could be interesting and further differentiate it from Mos Eisley. Also, adding things to the soundscape like the distant sounds of laser fire etc.
Keep up the good work, I’m loving each update on this project!
Thank you! The laser blast i could do with someones death scream (Maybe a good wilhelm scream) in the back ground. Not sure what you mean by ships in the sky tho. I don’t wan’t to imply imperial control or anything. Lawlessness i like, but id need more context for the ships. I was thinking about sneaking a mandalorian in somewhere. Not the main guy but one of the other ones maybe if i can
I was thinking more like freighters/ cargo ships. I like the visual of Anakin’s dream being just out of reach. Similar to the planes flying over Rick’s cafe in Casablanca.
Ahhh ok. I have a scene in mind i want to try to create (binary sunset moment for Ani) that i think it would go good in. Plus i can try to add more traffic possibly to the sky in other shots.
Oh nice, Anakin definitely needs his own binary sunset moment.
I think the sabre hidden in the rocks should be Ben’s. The one we see in the flashback in TLJ. It could be easily implied that he abandoned his sabre after destroying the temple, and Luke found it and hid it the walls of his hut. Metaphorically, Rey repairing Luke’s mistake. Also, it’s as if the force is aware that Ben has turned and his calling for his sabre to be returned to him.
The tricky think is Ben uses Anakin’s saber throughout the third act, while Rey uses Leia’s. It would take a lot of work to swap out the hilts for every shot.
That’s a very good point. Though if someone could accomplish it, I think it would be the best option narratively and tie the film in a little closer with TLJ and make the three films seem a little more cohesive.
Awesome.

I think it would flow better if Coruscant and Naboo were switched. Having two sunsets back to back subconsciously implies close proximity of the planets (something that’s rife in the sequel trilogy). Also, if you switch them, we go from the bright centre of the universe to Jakku (nowhere) reminiscent of Luke’s comment in ANH.
Something I would like to see is a dirtier/ smokier Mos Espa, closer to the concept art. The same with slave hovels, I feel they should be dimly lit, not warm and inviting. During the sand storm, the lights should flicker. The Phantom Menace makes slavery look far too pleasant. We should be rooting for Anakin to escape this environment and feel his pain at leaving his mother there.
It might be a cool idea despite that, to replace it with a model similar to Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced as that has a hyperdrive. Then it could be like Luke’s ship and Vader’s ship during the trench run.
This is a great idea.

This is exactly the type of thing I was hoping the film would show us. Great work!

Looks promising, however, I would suggest placing Ben next to Leia. In terms of composition, this may require extending the frame to left.
(Sorry, I just saw someone else had already suggested this)
