Okay, I’m a little concerned…

Of the three rumbles in that clip, I’d recommend trying the last one before they cut to the Rebel soldier. Although I think just boosting the original one in the mix might suffice.

In other news, got another friend to check out the project:

Wow
Other than the starkiller base stuff I honestly don’t know what was changed because I only saw it once two years ago
But…you weren’t kidding
What I just saw was an incredible film
If that’s what I had seen in theaters, any nitpicks I might have felt would have been insignificant ones I kept to myself
I found myself absolutely enraptured throughout most of it
And not even doing the meta thing of thinking about how it was making me feel that way
It grabbed my attention so thoroughly that none of that mattered

If I recall correctly, one of his biggest nits about the original film after Starkiller was Artoo’s magical recovery. So congrats, again!

It’s times like these that I’m thankful for my iron bladder. Never have to worry about mid-film calls from nature.

Finally got a chance to watch.

Wonderful, wonderful!

I watched it with a friend who couldn’t stand the theatrical version of TFA. It took some convincing to get him to watch but I told him this was an edit so he gave it a chance. He loved it and so did I! I didn’t tell him what changes were made and when it was over he said he couldn’t tell what had been changed, just that it was definitely better. Me personally, I’ll never be going back to the theatrical release. Fantastic work everyone, thank you for this!

Just one minor note, I watched the 720p version and I noticed a lot of aliasing throughout. It happened a lot in effects shots and especially in any close-ups of Kylo’s helmet.

No, I’d recommend they go see Wonder Woman.

Can you believe it’s been over two years since season 1?

Mark Hamill wishes Disney had listened to George Lucas’s guidance and advice

Mark Hamill said:

What I wish is that they had been more accepting of his guidance and advice. Because he had an outline for ‘7,’ ‘8,’ and ‘9’. And it is vastly different to what they have done. But then again, I don’t want to be an old stick in the mud. There were the originals. There’s the prequels. But that’s all George. And now we have the next generation. And as far as I can see they are more popular than ever.

WHY AM I STILL HERE?!?!

I’d recommend finding a voice over artist on Fiverr.

Not sure the world is ready for full frontal Klingon nudity though. 😉

Obviously you haven’t kept up with Discovery. 😐

So, I know it’s too late for V2. But I think I’ve solved the Chewie problem for V3, check it out! 😉

So wait, we still see Chewie slowly lumbering away next to Leia in that last shot?

While it’s by no means a deal breaker. The decision to not address the main theme is disappointing. I think it’s fair to say it was the one thing about the film that was universally criticized.

Yes please! I’ve been wondering about that as well.

I am, first-and-foremost, a Nancy fan, not a Freddy fan. When she died in Dream Warriors, she died to save those kids. When Freddy returned and killed all those kids in Dream Master, it rendered her sacrifice meaningless. So I utterly detest the later sequels, regardless of whatever merits they may have as films.

I just went through the Jason films for the first time recently. I hold similar sentiments in regards to Tommy Jarvis and Jason Lives. The films after that just feel pointless.

Last Jedi Director Rian Johnson on His New Trilogy and the Fundamental Power of Star Wars

Really fascinating bit in there about how TLJ is a personal story and I love that he acknowledges Rebels. Seems like that was actually an influence for him.

Dave is working on something else, which is why he’s not directly overseeing this last season. Whether it’s a new series or (what I’m hoping for) a feature film, remains to be seen.
