Very old thread but because I am at the moment watching some Fan Films:

1. Knightquest
2. Broken Allegiance
3. Darth Maul - Apprentice
4. The Dark Redemption
5. Kenobi

Three old and two younger productions in my top 5.
Today the possiblities are quite easier (or better) to create a star wars fan film. Nevertheless Knightquest, Broken Allegiance and The Dark Redemption has the special Star Wars magic 😃
The Darth Maul movie is an optical masterpiece and the Kenobi movie has an awesome casting and acting.

Thought I’d actually finish this up

Really rough wip audio, and one shot I need to work on better.

Nice editing 😃

It is not exactly a radical idea, but I would still like to propose it. Essentially, I believe I have found a way to integrate the scene from Attack of the Clones in which Anakin vents his grief to Padmé after his mother’s death, without necessarily including any mention of the massacre he committed against the Tusken Raiders.

My idea is quite simple: right after Anakin says, “It is all Obi-Wan’s fault. He is jealous. He is holding me back,” the scene would be cut immediately to the moment when he collapses to the ground and sits down, with Padmé approaching and saying, “To be angry is to be human.” I believe that, with the right cut, it could come across as realistic. This way, it would be possible to preserve the most important part of the scene — namely, Anakin’s desire for omnipotence and his determination to prevent people from dying — without keeping the part where he essentially admits to Padmé that he killed children.

To achieve this, I think the scene would need to be stripped of its original score and rescored entirely. However, I am fairly confident that it is feasible. What do you think?

Thats a really nice and smart idea 😃 especially to make Padmes sentence more meaningful.

I can remember that there was a small picture-trailer (only static pictures with music, motion picture) for Episode 2 on the dvd.starwars.com page, before the first trailer/teaser was official released… called “Chosen” or something like this

Interesting! I think there’s a trailer for that one on the DVD release. When you say stills was it kind of like those old videos you’d see back in the day on YouTube like image compilations? Was it finished special effects? And about what time frame did it appear?

Sorry for my delayed response:
It were final pictures from the movie, partly from the set, partly from later deleted stuff (in one, Obi-Wan was fighting with a green lightsaber). I think it was released before the first trailer (Breathing) or before the second trailer (Mystery). So I would say end of 2001.

Yeah I agree that some people (including myself) get a little overzealous with the ability to change/add lines. I doubt this scene will be used in any of my edits, and if it did, it would have a lot more work done to it.

But all these ideas are also a good inspiration for next ideas and possiblities. 😃

The idea is very nice as a concept.
One other guy tried to reproduce this scene one year ago with footage, AI voice and lines from the original script. The quality is poor, but the content is good:

But for my feeling the AI trend for Star Wars fan edits leds into too much dialogues. It should be: “Show, don’t tell.”

very nice 😃 I like

I think the trailer is down? Cant open it.

Suggestions for ways to make it so Revenge of the Sith appears to occur over a matter of months rather then days?

In general a good idea!

A very simple solution: Text overlays

Rename the Titel in “The 100 Days of Revenge of the Sith” or something like this and start with
“DAY 1” with the battle of coruscant
“DAY 10” Nightmares
…

Padme deliberately hides her belly with loose-fitting clothes so as not to reveal her pregnancy.

The time spans in Star Wars movies are not defined. You also don’t fly to another planet within 20 minutes. Nevertheless, little time passes in Revenge of the Sith. It is said to be about 9 days.

wow, a great project 😃
Have you used Topaz Video Enhancer? Or Topaz Gigapixel? I heard from one guy who started to use Topasz Gigapixel to improve every single frame picture by picture… But I think this was toooo much effort.

Your results looks very good 😃

Oh yes, Jedi Knight was really nice. One of the first games with real actors cutscenes and a very nice story. I also love Jedi-Knight 2.

It would also nice to do a german audio for all the deleted scenes for PT and OT. Then it would be possible to do some fan edits with a german dub.

In the last weeks I also worked a little bit with AI voice. What tool do you using? I used https://www.vidnoz.com/voice-changer.html
It is free and I can upload voice samples and re-create new speech. Its not perfect but sometimes it is working good.

Or you start creating a german version of Adywans TESB:R 😃

Do you have other german edits in progress at the moment?

Awesome work, TK8252! Helmut Heyne had such a incredible voice and your AI work is matching really good!
Do you have other plans with the German audio? Maybe a german dub of Adywans Revisited in combination with Laserschwerts german adaption of Harmy Despecialization in addition with some AI tweaks by yourself? 😃

Jedi122 said:

Adywan, what do you think of Jar Jar Bricks’s AI line of Vader saying “Your mother once thought as you do”?

As far as I can remember Adywan said that in his Revisited Trilogy the prequels don’t play a role and therefore don’t have to correct mistakes of the prequels. I therefore assume that Darth Vader’s text will not be changed here.

Although this information is already a few years old.

To the Update:
Great Sample and a pretty nice work!

I miss some nice hyperspace travel animations in the prequel trilogy.
Maybe a jump to hyperspace with cockpit view or travel animation like this: (other ship of course)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkVDSAyDkhE

For Jedi-Star Fighter with Hyperspace Ring or for Naboo Nubian J-Typ ships. Especially the J-Types with the reflective surface certainly look very nice in hyperspace.

Does someone now good existing fan animations for this or is able to create something with Blender or some other tools?

Hello all 😃 Does anyone have links for Schormans TPM, AOTC and ROTS? thanks a lot!

Wow, I just saw the trailer and this looks amazing!
Can you please send me a link?

I’ll quote myself:

The idea is that Vader’s reasoning is more or less like this: “Is she alive? Then I’ll keep her at my side and force her to agree with me. Is she dead? Then I can do without her.” Indeed, we see Vader reasoning like this already when he is on Mustafar, when he tells Padmé to join him and basically has no problem choking her. The Dark Side has twisted his mind so much that he no longer sees Padmé as a person, but as a mere object that he can use the way he sees fit.

I apologize. I have not seen this post.
Yes with this idea it can work : )

I don’t remember if it was someone here or on YouTube, but someone achieved this exact idea before, so it is definitely doable without voice Ai or anything.

EDIT: I did find a version of this idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GvpT_7BMAc

I can remember to this edit. The editing is nice and the idea is good.

But when Padme no longer has any meaning for him, why he ask about her?

Hi all, I can remember that someone worked on adding a hologram of Count Dooku to the deleted senate scene of episode 2 (and speaking to the senate). I thought this was in this thread but I can’t find it anymore. Maybe someone can help me?

Does someone have these bootleg versions of TPM? It would be a pleasure to see (and hear) it again. I was so impressed by the audience reaction when I saw it the first time.

I PMed you too. I am very interested to see this version with the audience reaction again.

Maybe someone can help me with my issue with Sony Vegas:

When I started my Star Wars edit projects in the past I used a stereo source. So my whole cuts are only with this one track.
Now I want to replace the source with an 5.1 file… but when I replace it by Sony Vegas, then only one of the 5.1 tracks will be used because my project have only one audio track.

I changed the project settings to 5.1 and I added additional empty audio tracks. But only the already used track will be replaced.

Does someone has an idea how I can replace my stereo project with 5.1 source without repeating all cuts with the new source?

Sony Vegas V19 has a feature for this issue called “Add missing stream for selected event” but this is buggy with 5.1 and only works with Stereo.
But one from the Vegas Team posted a nice work around:

Bug will be solved in the future.
