Star Wars: The Lost Planet (A Skeleton Crew Edit) [RELEASED 1080p, 5.1]
Time

I knew there was one thing I could not remember when I wrote the last post:

I don’t think we got any clues/hints that the Wim don’t trust Jod not being a Jedi early on, but then all of a sudden Wim says something like “If you are not a Jedi, then how did you do that?”.

I recall KB say she has calculated the odds and therefore don’t trust him, but I don’t think we see the other kids, and certaintly not Wim, be mistrusting toward Jod before this scene?

I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you earlier, smudger9, but life happened and it was not before this weekend I got around to watch the whole thing.

First of all: This is the way to watch Skeleton Crew. It flows so much better as a movie. If I ever gonna watch the show again, is will be this version.

The nitpicks:

I think maybe this has been discussed in the thread before: But when landing at At Attins twin planet the kids go exploring while Jod clearly stays behind. But then, all of a sudden, he’s with them at the tower. Knowing what was a cut fra episode, I can see why it had to be this way, but I think it will be confusing for someone who hasn’t see the show before.

The sidequest of the parents was always a weak point for me when I watch the show at D+. It still is. But I feel there was a too lang gap in their story in the middle of the film. We see them try to hack the barrierer system at 1:15:00 and then we don’t see them again before 45 minutes later. To be honest I forgot the sidequest before it popped up again.

One thing I never understood in the series is the reaction of the characters after KB and 33’s “crash landing” at the end. We clearly see them pull opp the ship before they crash. Would id be possible to make ut look like the crash actually happened. With some kind of explosion maybe?

And as always: as a foreigner, I would really appreciate subtitles. There were many lines I didn’t quite catch, because of all the other sounds and music and my limited English.

Anyway - thanks for this edit! I really liked it!

Please be gentle if this is a dumb question, but my knowledge of video formats, codecs and containers are limited.

In the folder there are two version, one in ProRes.mkv and one in MOV. I grabbed the first one since mkv is a format I’m used to, but noticed something strange when I started to watch: It seems my left speaker is the main one for sound and talking, not my center speaker.

I tried to download the MOV-version and everythings seems (and sounds!) fine, with the sound coming from the center.

Is there something wrong with the ProRes.mkv-version or is it just my computer that can’t handle ProRes?

Galaxy of Adventures: The Original Trilogy (by Wakeupkeo, Irishpunk, Hal9000 & Bailey)
Time

Just saw ESB. These edits are fun stuff!

Again was the flashback the peak for me, this time from Yodas perspective.

I never saw the original cartoon, so this is a new experience for me. And even tough I liked the first one, it took me a little time to get used to the concept, if that makes sense. With ESB I was already onboard and knew more what I was about get. I think that helped this movie.

Excited to see the last one!

Just saw A New Hope, and oh my! This was Star Wars on speed! 😄

This was really high paced, with no place for a little breather for an old man like myself. Action, action, action! But indeed a fun watch. I especially liked the flashbacks and to see a clip of Han changing his mind about helping the rebels.

Amazed by the skills of the editor. Looking forward to watch the rest!

The Clone Wars: Refocused [COMPLETE]
Time

Just started this today, and have seen the first four episodes.

The first two truly are a little clunky. But I doubt its possible two make any them better, when the source material is what it is. The Duchess of Mandalore was a treat tough, but Assassin was OK at best.

Looking forward to the rest, I guess it will only get better now that the introductions is over with.

On a side note: It’s interesting to first watch the episode and then to read the posts in this thread discussing it.

New YouTube Series about recutting George's STAR WARS SAGA.
Time

I’m a n00b and will never be able to pull of something like movie editing. I absolutely love to watch them though, even if I never understand how some of the faneditors are able to pull off some of their incredible work.

So this video (I just watched the first one) is so interesting and entertaining. Thanks so much for this! I will surely watch the rest of the show.

Star Wars Rebels Recut - A Fanedit TV Series
Time

I’ve only seen Rebels once, a few years ago, so I can really give any feedback on the text itself, but what I can do is comment on how it looks.

The last couple of years I’ve read quite a few crawls and one “flaw” I often see is that there is too few characters/words in some of the lines. In this one I feel some of the lines in the second paragraphs sticks out, especially the first and the seventh (but also some of the others).

In my opinion there is to much space between the words on those lines. The lines is so spacious that the reading-experience feels “off”. I feels more like jumping from word to word, than smooth reading.

I would recommend to try to rewrite/shuffle some of the wording in the crawl to get more text in the lines with the fewest characters 😃
