Hey, Hal. Just wanted to let you know that to commemorate the 40th anniversary of ROTJ yesterday, I took your edit of it for a spin. Not only was it the first of your edits I’ve actually sat down and watched but it was also the first time I’ve ever been able to enjoy any of the Original Trilogy films with a pretty nice audio/video setup.

Anyways… Very nice job, man! It felt like I was watching that movie for the first time again.

I think it’s important now that through the power of AI, we should re-incorporate C-3PO’s very important line of “Throw the bones at it!” during the scene where the sand worm goes to attack them all on Pasaana.

(Obviously joking of course but this was legitimately an ADR voice line/joke Ben Schwartz wrote for the film that they never did.)

Oh wow! This sounds like a pretty bold edit. I’d love to get a copy of it.

Hey, I saw in the Ascendant thread that you were going to do an update on this. What will be in that update, if it’s not too early to discuss it?

Well, I probably wouldn’t have things like that be audible, large canon defining stuff.

But if someone sent me “I’m Jar Jar and I’m pooping my pants,” I’d still include it to maintain including something from everyone even if I’d bury it in the mix.

This is where my crappy Wookiee roar will come to shine. 😄

I’ve been thinking a lot about a Rey Nobody edit and especially one where the big reveal is that she killed her parents. But I was wondering if instead of her accidentally destroying their ship with lightning (which is a tad too dramatic for my tastes) what if she just instinctually kills them by snapping their necks ala Force Choke?

It’s been a while since I’ve seen TROS but I was thinking that during the flashback, you could still have her parents get kidnapped by Ochi, you get the shot of her crying and reaching out to them as they leave, and then we cut to inside the ship where they’re killed by Ochi. I feel like there could be a way to cut it so that it just looks like they keel over rather than being stabbed by Ochi and then you could add in a bone snapping sort of sound effect to sell the effect as well.

IDK, just something to think about.

Those screenshots look AMAZING. Would love to get a copy of this!

Also, looking forward to when you do the other two movies as well. 😃

I’d love a link to this as well!

I’m interested in checking this out!

May I get a copy of this as well?

Would’ve been super interested in checking out this edit but this really put a sour taste in my mouth and I still really haven’t seen any sort of justifiable explanation for why the editor did this.

I heard some people have used Elevenlabs ai and it doesn’t sound jarring so can someone use it on lost missions palpatine so Tim curry is no longer palpatine. replaced with either the clone wars palpatine is fully palpatine and sidious or replace with ian mcdiarmid as palpatine.

Literally watching this video as I saw this comment. Lol

Just had a thought: I wonder if with these new AI tools, we can get a cleaner/different inflection for the “I am a Jedi” line for Rey during the climax. I know TONS of work had been done to that line up to this point but I never was a fan with how it sounded, despite it working. Plus, I always hated how her inflection during that scene is so rushed. I always felt it should be something more akin to “I AM a Jedi” rather than her being like “iamajedi”.

So, something I’ve been wondering about in regards to this edit is if you’re going to put in the post-credits scene from the Season 2 finale as the cold open for the Boba Fett episode.

Looking forward to this edit! I have been beyond disappointed with both how TBOBF and Mando Season 3 has turned out. Looking at your rundown, I feel like this is a better pace for things and could probably help this season more cohesive to me.

JEDIT:

So, I actually have a suggestion I’d like to throw out there based off of something I saw on Twitter. But I wonder if during your new “The Pirate King” episode, you could cut out Green making a big to-do about giving the Mandalorians land on Navarro since it’s kind of weird how they’re super happy about finding a new home and yet they still go off to reclaim Mandalore.

Wow! I haven’t been here in quite some time so it’s a bit of a shock that you all are diving into some AI tools to make an already amazing fan edit even more amazing.

Does this mean we’re going to be getting a V3 then? And would it be a V3 of both versions?

What if someone took the Obi-Wan Kenobi series and added it into a cut of ROTS? I know there’s been plenty of 4-hour cuts of ROTS that include Clone Wars material that are made in the spirit of the legendary 4-hour cut that Lucas supposedly made. I wonder if the same could be done with the Obi-Wan series instead.

SPENCE!!! I absolutely love the beginning of that duel scene with the slow version of Battle of the Heroes! That feels like something straight out of a samurai film. Unfortunately, I don’t think the song works when they actually begin to start fighting. Also, I know that you said you fixed the mix on it but I honestly think the music could be even lower. Almost like it’s just playing in the wind, hanging there like a ghost of their past friendship.

Anyways, I think the other music edits you did are fantastic as well (and I really like how you cut the “running away in the tunnel” part of that one clip shorter jkimm!)

There’s only three shots from that scene in the edit, you still find that to be too much?

The small-file version of V2 I downloaded has most of the chase sequence intact, lasting around 50 seconds. Does the large-file version truncate that sequence?

I mean, you could always make your own edit that removes more of the chase if you want, my dude.

I’m curious… Couldn’t you just export it with the color grade, import that file back in and then add on the grain?

I’m going to stop engaging now. Sorry for derailing this thread a bit, NFB.

OH MY GOD it’s the same guy lmao I thought I remembered him

Sorry for resurrecting this thread but I just had to point it out.

To get back on track, this edit looks really cool! Not sure if you’re still working on it but it seems pretty interesting.

(Just want to clarify, this is directed at Miche, not you NFBism!)

I’d love to get a copy of this edit as well!

*Her, and whether she follows a project through to the end is her business. Shaming is poor form.

HER? What an inconsequential piece of information that has blown my mind.

Snooker is trans; it’s only fair to provide ample warning so as to avoid accidental misgendering leading to unpleasant misunderstandings.

Ample warnings… we ought to speak as we like mate.

I think this along with your “guetto” comment in NFBisms Obi-Wan edit genuinely warrants a ban. This site shouldn’t tolerate racism or transphobia of any kind, especially from this chud.
