I know this is an old post/thread but only wread it on Friday and actually lolled.
Good work guys, loved the comment “He isn’t building a Wampa or a Star Destroyer (not unless it’s out of Chocolate Hobnob packets and Timotei bottles)” 😂😂🤦.
I purchased an audiobooks Star Wars: The old republic - Revan. Really enjoying so far, got 5hr 46 mins left.
Will leave a review in the appropriate thread when finished.

Only the smaller encodes are available now through a Google Drive.
I am currently re-working all these including the OT and ST, once I am at a point where I am able to provide more of an update and future plans I will post a thread new thread with info and a link to that thread here for anyone who has found this and is interested in my projects.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for all support given.
Old Post*
A lot of you guys here have been so generous, not just sharing your ideas and thoughts but also sharing your hard work and fantastic edits.
Since joining OT I’ve seen a lot of fan edits, not just Star Wars edits but other movies and franchises and all honesty I have not watched an edit I have not enjoyed and for myself what started off a simple cut and paste with an intro Crawl took me down another path of being able to do a bit more (Not a lot more, but enough to achieve a vision I like) and Hal9000’s PT brought back my love for Star Wars.
These edits are probably v4 or 5 now and I don’t intend to revisit these but they started out as a simple crawl change that was V1, V2 I can’t remember lol but now I feel they are somewhere where I’m happy with what I have achieved. Reluctantly had no plans to release these but my partner said to me “What if the people who shared their edits with you and everyone else, what if they didn’t share what they had done” so here we go.
Before the info, I want to give a massive thank you to Hal9000, not just for your permission to release these but for sharing your amazing work with everyone here, honestly can’t thank you enough.

All credit for the work on this edit goes to Hal9000.

Amazing work LTD, thank you very much for sharing.
I’m very new to the Star Wars EU but listened to my first audio book last week. Did a Google search of where to start with the Legends books and gave Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void by Tim Lebbon, took awhile to get into but really enjoyed and highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t read/listened to it or like myself just starting out with the EU.
Here is a link to the wookiepedia site that gave a list of where to start, if anyone is interested.

After revisiting quite a few times recently lol just want to say I love the new additions like 3po’s back story. I had an idea not sure if it’s possible but thought it may be worth mentioning, one would be Anakins line to padame when they first meet, would it be possible or doable to change his line from "Are you an Angel? " to "Are you a Princess? " thought it may help show how strong anakin is with the force as she is the queen also another idea would be Shmi’s line of “you have given hope to those to have none” to “you have given hope to those who had none”.
Sorry if these have already been thought of and I know they don’t really bring or add anything but I don’t know lol just spit balling.
OMG this looks incredible, the vfx look outstanding as the changelist sound just as amazing as the new effects do.
Some really out standing work being done by PixelJoker.
If fact, if the color grades weren’t all so different I could probably make my own perfect edit sourcing from about three others but alas…
I’m pretty sure Octorox’s Happy Sanding edit color matches with Hal’s, you could use his, Hal’s purist and his approaching storm edits along with JoyOfEditing’s tips/techniques for your perfect edit.
Just a suggestion, plenty of free editing software capable of doing such things, I’ve been using Kdenlive which is really good admittedly a bit of a learning to do bit very powerful software.
Hi 13las, it might be worth you reaching out to Phase3 as I’m pretty sure he’s doing something if not the same then very similar.
Looks awesome amobex, looking forward to giving it a watch when released.
😳When I last followed this project V1 had just been released lol, some amazing updates on this Hal and everyone else involved. Looking forward to revisiting this.
Here are a few ones so far. My personal preference is #2 but I haven’t actually tested any of them:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CDGPUx7qz-QOwmsfZFM7hfj7fT0wdnNm?usp=sharing
And of course, if none of these are quite there yet, I can try adding in more voice samples to hone it in. This was just 37 seconds of her lines from the movie.
#2 sounds pretty good. Here’s the one I used in my edit:

Wow that’s very good work Octo, the line works perfectly.
…Alright steering this back on topic 😄
Something i promised to show a while ago but ended up completely forgetting about, was the shot of Luke’s shuttle escaping the Death Star. So here it is:
Original version:
Revisited Version:
That shot took a hell of a lot of work. I had to slow down the gantry and other elements, yet keep the camera movement and the shuttle at the original speed, then track and add the new background. Couldn’t use the original stars to track because they suddenly stop their movement before the end in the original.
Should we not be able to see Endor in the reflection also…?
I think this is actually a great question, oh_riginal, so I hope this doesn’t get overlooked. I didn’t have a problem with it at first as I feel the forest moon is sooo far off in the distance that we wouldn’t see its reflection? But, I rethink that when I see a picture such as the following of a mountain where, even though it is far away, we still can see its reflection on the lake (granted, the distance between the forest moon/DSII is greater than the mtn/lake):
So really I’m not sure, lol, but I am leaning more towards “yes we should”. Maybe someone who definitely knows the science behind reflections can reflect on this and let us know? 😄 Or are you confident that it would, oh_riginal?
I know, this is a fantasy/sci-fi film, but getting even small details like this right is a very nice touch and does help with the immersion that this is all happening and “real”, imho 😃
I don’t think it should be visible because the hangar floor is “above” the planet. In the image you used as reference, the mountains rise higher than the lake. So I think the (the lack of planet) reflections are valid, the floor should reflect things that are “above” it, not below, from our point of view.
Or as Obi-Wan once said “From a certain point of View” 😂😂.
Sorry couldn’t help myself with that one.
I think your prison sentence expired. As did this thread, apparently.
Well I came close to expiring myself lol
I’m sorry are you talking about suicide or am I missing something?
The reason for my Hiatus was My Mother had a series of mini strokes which left her with very limited mobility, 4 months after that my Father got diagnosed with stage four lung cancer.
Both are doing ok now but this time last year I lost my best friend and after that my health took a bad turn last year, during a works medical I got diagnosed with very high blood pressure to the point that I was borderline for a stroke, Got stopped from driving as I had also developed sleep apnoea and type 2 diabetes.
Long story short it has taken me 9 months to get everything back to normal and be able to return to work, which you have no idea of how grateful and happy I am for as at one point I did not think I would be able to and didn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel for awhile.
I think your prison sentence expired. As did this thread, apparently.
Well I came close to expiring myself lol
How about mine? I saw the prison break episode from Andor, so I should be good? Heck, I’ve even gotten into the old Expanded Universe novels during my jail time.
😂😂🤦
Don’t want to bump an old thread but just wondering if this is still being worked on TGWNN?
Hi, if anyone has a link for KK650’s Prequel edits could I get a link please.
Could I get a new link please that guy
Just catching up on everything, amazing work adywan.
Wow I got jailed all the way back in 2023 lol, am I still behind bars now? I’ve been absent for awhile and slowly catching up with things now.
Hope everyone here is all ok.
🤦I’ve seen some odd requests before but that’s awesome and gave me a really good lol.
After watching your PT I’m really looking forward to seeing these.
Thanks for the insight Hal.
I love reads like this, finding out how people got into Star Wars and what helps with their deciding factors when making edits and cuts.
Found this really interesting as for me your custom editions are my go to as they have the right blend of what I think for me personally should be included in a SE without it becoming a CGI fest.
Thanks Hal.
