Quite right. If SirRidley, DigMod, that weirdo Neverar and others could work together on an edit with Restructured (The Starkiller Edit) as its base, it would be a wonder to behold.

Oh yes. Now we’re talking.

You use a finished version of Restructured as the base, and find a good mix of Digimod’s edits and your edits for the ultimate version of the Force Awakens.

Hello friend. Please help me with something, how can I get this edit? I don’t know how to or where to look for it. Thank you.

The title of the first post says to either PM me or check myspleen for the edit. It’s fine but next time just make sure to read carefully on what information the editor lays out.

About to try a combo in the next few weeks which will be a lot of pot, kratom, and vicodin. And throw in a few monsters for a speedy edge to the experience.

I don’t want to be an asshole or anything, but for whatever reason it pains me to see you talk about in many of your posts how you’re basically pursuing a desire to become addicted to substances. As someone who genuinely hates his life, I’d rather you didn’t throw yours away at such a young age. Normally I don’t care about other people so I don’t tend to give advice, but I’m just saying, you’re young enough to not lead a miserable life so please don’t ruin it before it’s too late.

I don’t doubt that you won’t listen to this so:

TL;DR - If you do want to throw your life away, can you at least not do it quite so proudly?

Star Wars is the best movie of the franchise.
The Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars movie of the franchise.

Which one you prefer says a lot about how much of a Star Wars fan you are vs simply liking good movies.

Interesting. I always thought of it the other way around. The craftsmanship, prowess, and utter cinematic beauty of the Empire Strikes Back and all it’s moving parts is what reminds me what makes a movie timeless.

And the first Star Wars is the perfect encapsulation of the fun, adventure, and pure thrill of following your hero in a classic journey through an amazing world of strange new creatures. It is obviously the most “Star Warsy” of the bunch, whereas Empire Strikes Back is more transcendent.

Thanks for the great distinction though between the two. I’ve never heard it put that way.

So I failed a calculus test yesterday. It’s just one test, and I can retake it too, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. Well I almost immediately sprung into a suicidal mood. I began thinking that I’m going to stay behind in the class and fail everything after this and get depressed about that that I start failing my other classes and kill myself by next semester.

If the Interrogation scene of HTTF was improved through the use of a CGI mask (probably beyond the skill of all here), I’d be interested in seeing a combination edit. As it is, the prolonged reveal creates more problems than it solves.

Agreed. Still an outstanding effort on DigiMod’s part. Let us not forget about everything else in the edit which is superb! I made a mashup edit of just the regular version with most of Digimod’s edits except for the prolonged reveal and I like it quite a bit. Digimod is on a roll considering he has made what I consider my favorite versions of both Disney Star Wars films.

the fact that we don’t end with Lando clapping has got to be worth something

Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness.

I don’t wanna know what happens after that.

I was really hoping they’d go the Indy route and make it Han Solo and the ______.

That’s the title for the sequels and later home video releases.

Han Solo and the Raiders of the Last Temple of the Kyber Crystal Skull

Brilliant

Just realized that we’ve got B-wings up in this.

Funny. I just thought what the man was talking about? And then I saw it. These “Ski Speeders” really look like a shitty version of the B-Wing fighter. The whole new SW ships are rather weakly designed.

But i am excitde to see how the shitty LEGO-Heavy Scout Walker looks in the film!
Can only be a mess.

I guess I half agree with you here since I find the ski speeders to be aesthetically pleasing whereas the walkers and the new star destroyers feel really uninspired.

I tried a bunch of different things, but this seems to work best:

“You’d leave neutral ground?
Violence here…
…would be war”

This gives some idea of how ‘normal’ denizens of the galaxy feel about this situation - the First Order isn’t officially at war with the Republic until this attack, and even then they don’t take action. Hopefully that is enough to show that something is very wrong with the Republic, and very right with the Resistance.

I like this.

Blade Runner 2049

I don’t really know what to think of it yet. I need to see it a second time.

Adding more Porgs will be the most popular fan-edit request/idea once the Last Jedi is released.

Bet.

Cutting down the Porgs will be the most popular fan-edit request/idea once the Last Jedi is released.

Warbler said:

I have a bad feeling about this.

I’m definitely not looking forward to the porgs myself. I can see everyone raving about the movie and always just adding in "oh and if only you could get rid of the Porgs.

Thanks!

Since changing our hero’s decisions is beyond the scope of the edit (and everyone seems to like it), I cordially retract my previous suggestions 😃

Since we remain locked into the Finalizer FX for V2, I’ve been thinking again about the general lack of panic at the castle (yeah, it’s still bothering me after 30 pages). But I think I may have a solution! Perhaps something for V3 anyway…

In the original, there’s very little exposition about Maz’s Castle. In fact, it’s not much different than the Cantina. However, from background sources we know that although Maz is a pirate there’s a strict no-violence policy, and from the film we know that it’s been there for 1000 years. From this information it makes sense that there’s at least an informal agreement among all factions of the galaxy that Maz’s castle is inviolate. It may even be a place of political asylum, more like Casablanca than the Cantina. The problem is that this isn’t communicated in the film.

There are a few shots in the deleted scenes of Finn talking to the aliens who would take him to the outer rim. Combining these with the section in the film, there may be enough to subtitle. Something like:

Finn: 'I heard you’re looking for some labor.'
Alien 1: 'Ah, running from trouble.'
Alien 2: 'Tell him.'
Finn: 'I was told you can get me to the outer rim.'
Alien 1: ‘Yes, but there’s no danger here.’

Or something more cryptic:

Finn: 'I heard you’re looking for some labor.'
Alien 1: 'If there’s anything you seek…'
Alien 2: '…So they say…'
Alien 1: '…Maz provides all you need.'
Finn: ‘I was told you can get me to the outer rim.’

Great Idea. I like the comparison to Casablanca and that would give her castle a unique spin to make it different from the cantina.

Same. It’s hard to know when old friends are holding you back though, or when new friends are worth putting in the effort for.

I’ve heard that no punctuation a Millennial thing.

Can confirm. My peers twitter feeds are a pain to get through. The comma doesn’t exist in these people’s minds.

I’m still hoping that when Luke talks about raw potential he isn’t talking about Ben Solo, but rather Leia and Snoke is talking about Rey. Kylie Ren is a bit of a push over if you ask me.

I had the same thought about Snoke maybe talking to Rey.

LexX said:

I watched the trailer once. Didn’t like it at all. I don’t even like the poster. I’m getting worried. I did like the teaser, but… well, hopefully it’s good.

What were some of the biggest things that stuck out to you in the trailer that made you worried?

My last friend who I had just stopped talking to me. I’m stoned all the time now and also might have gotten a speeding ticket. I’m just messing everything up right now and all I want to do is just smoke more and more pot to get rid of the anxiety. I also have to keep it a secret from my friends since they decided they thought I was getting out of hand. But it doesn’t even matter anymore since they don’t even talk to me. God, I just feel so isolated.

That sucks, man. I’m sorry.

Possessed hit the nail on the head when it comes to pot, though. Being a little high often is one thing, but being full-on stoned all the time causes its own host of problems, damage to social relationships included.

I still am trying to piece together what madness might go down in the third act.

It almost seems foolhardy to even try at this point. Think of everything we know is in the movie that we didn’t see in the trailer. No Canto Bight. No Rose Tico. No Vice Admiral Holdo or DJ. I wouldn’t be surprised if we find out when we finally see the movie that almost all of the trailer footage was from the first act, like it was with TFA.

If you forget about all of the shots of the forest battle and X-Wings on Starkiller base.

Always two weirdos, there are. No more, no less.

Sorry to break the rule of two here but Batman Returns is a much better movie for myself as well.

Greatly depends on the last jedi and episode 9. On how they handle Luke, and how the force works. But I’ve seen nothing that discourages me from thinking that the sequel trilogy will be very good.
