It took me over two years to write it, but write it I did; my Ep. II re-write is 100% finished.
Congratulations! I didn’t join the site in time to be there when it started and all, but I’ll have to get to reading your re-writes soon. They sound incredible from what I’v seen members say 😃
Will there be a final definitive despecialized edition at some point ?
Right now ESB v2.5 is in the works. After that, the next releases will be version 3.0 for all 3 films, in 1080p I believe.
I also think that Harmy will be using poita’s scans for Empire Strikes Back when he makes 3.0.
I’m beyond excited!!! 😃
I’m so done with you JMOB. Learn how to properly write. You are literally so hard to understand. Just please don’t return until you can contribute understandable posts that don’t slow down the great work Ady is doing.
And one last thing, don’t act like such a victim when we get frustrated. We have our reasons.
For all things related to fan-editing Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Feel free to post ideas and discuss what could be done to improve the film.
----PLEASE REMEMBER THIS THREAD WILL DISCUSS THE MOVIE WITH SPOILERS!-----
I’ve been playing with Jackpumpkinhead’s custom crawl generator for TFA, and figured it would be worthwhile to encode new crawls for the prequel trilogy. I am not going to put out another version just for this, and have no plans to do so aside from using an eventual source by Emanswfan. However, I can go ahead and generate new crawls and lay them in place so they’ll be ready to go if that day comes.
I’ve redrafted a crawl for COD, and I’d like to get your feedback. Be as picky as pedantic as you can be.
Episode I
CLOAK OF DECEPTION
It is a time of decay in the Republic. Against the backdrop of dissidence and corruption, a menace lurks in the shadows of the galaxy.
Attempting to capitalize on the government’s complacency, the nefarious TRADE FEDERATION has seized the peaceful planet of Naboo with a blockade of deadly warships.
With the newly crowned Queen desperate for help, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to end the conflict…
I really love the crawl! As with your 4.1 version of the crawl, I appreciate the focus being more on the lurking menace and less of the politics. I think this is an improvement over your last version mainly because of some richer vocabulary.
How wude! Meesa so smilin to see dis project, okeyday? Meesa tinks weesa gettin da update would be bein bombad! Yousa all bein terrrrrible to ussen. Peeyewsa.
… identity revealed.
proud of yourself mention the bane of the star wars prequels. also are all of you proud of bullying other star wars fans god forbid they ask about a wampa being made for the empire strikes back because the update of the building of the wampa isn’t frequent. so they feel like they’re too much in dark on what’s going on with it sheesh.
jedimasterobiwan, we are ALL eager for updates, but we try to remain patient. Personally, I’ve been following this project for years, and I don’t recall ever asking for any updates at all–I’m grateful for them whenever they come. Most folks here conduct themselves in much the same way–perhaps you might consider doing the same?. If you’re as old as you say you are, I’m sure you understand that life can get pretty crazy sometimes. Ady is human like the rest of us and has other stuff going on. He’ll update us when he’s made enough progress to merit it.
And please don’t respond to this defensively or indignantly; I’m genuinely not trying to offend. You’re a fellow fan and you’re excited and I get that. But this pattern of your asking for updates and then accusing others of bullying you when they ask you be patient needs to stop.
You perfectly summed up my feelings on jedimasterobiwan.
Got my projector and surround sound set up. It looks and sounds fantastic. The screen is about 125 inches. I ordered a 150 inch but I underestimated how big that actually was and it was bigger than my wall. Even the 125 inches is massive. Looks crisp and clear too. Can’t wait to watch star wars on it. In the process of cobbling together my own personal semispecialized version to watch. (Using the sources of telecine7s epiv (which is the blu ray with rerotoscoped savers and blaster shots) and just splicing in color matched and upscaled footage of the latest specialized to match the surrounding footage to fix ask the mos eisley bs on the blu ray.)
I would just watch the despecialized version but I think on a screen this suss the difference between 720 and 1080p will be noticeable.
This sounds awesome!
Kevin Smith seems to love everything except LOTR.
Just almost got a spoiler about something Vader either did or how he is portrayed in Rogue One. Either way I’m getting off the internet (mostly) until I see this film.
Was it at least cool? 😉
Interstellar
This was very heavy material. My short takeaway is this:
-The Cinematography is gorgeous.
-The score is AWESOME!
-The special effects are very immersive.
-The acting is pretty strong.
-Interesting premise.
-chemistry between Murph and Cooper was outstanding.
-Brands “Love” speech was dumb
-the ending was a little unevenOverall I think it was a really ambitious and thought provoking film. I think Arrival accomplished what Interstellar was going for even better though.
Pretty much agree with you on both Interstellar and Arrival. although a subsequent viewing or Arrival on bluray will be required for me to decide if Arrival nailed it better than Interstellar did.
I immensely respect Nolan’s ambition though. It’s refreshing to see his films because of his passion and ambition to make great work.
Arrival really got me quite choked up though. It’s execution was bulletproof and its effect was tear jerking. Interstellar does this for me also, just with messier execution and not nearly as effective.
Or, if you stick with my Ep3, you’ll have it match Leia’s account of her mother in the very next film watched.
If it makes you feel any better Hal, I was just being very simplistic with my suggestion since I like Padme dying. My actual way I watch episode 3 is a mashup. I use yours for pretty much the entire film until the last few minutes. I prefer the way you tell Anakin’s fall (political motivations first, then Padme is the last straw) and I prefer the Yoda/Palps duel Cut. Your edit is superior in every way for me except for the fact that you let Padme live. It maintains continuity but I prefer the original irony of her dying and am willing to sacrifice a little continuity. Nevertheless, I hope I’v made it clear that I adore your edits and consider them to be the best edits of the prequel trilogy around.
i’m not trying to rush him sheesh i just want an update on it because it’s been almost a month now. i just wanted an idea of how much of the wampa was left that’s all. becuase the last update made it seem like he doesn’t much left with it. if i’m wrong please tell me. sorry if i’m a little pushy i just love the work he’s doing on it so much.
If you love it, then be patient.

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!
I AM SO EXCITED 😃

My Apologies
I’d download yourself Hal9000’s episodes 1 and 2. Then you could try L8wtr’s for 3.
Jyn Erso’s Prison break:
I dig it!
doubleofive can tell us how the wampa is coming along how long until he’s ready to film it.
We have recently received an update on the teeth. It seems to be coming along nicely. Asking doesn’t speed anything up.
I agree, I have purchased the trilogy on every damn format, multiple times.
I think if you are going to watch it in hi-def, then at the very least go buy the Blu-ray.
You also then have a case to keep your disc in 😉And a case to replace the cover with 😉
At that point, is it still the same axe, though? Wait, what are we talking about?
I must admit that I worded my response quite awkwardly 😃 LOL
He’s right (but ROTS is a far stronger movie).
I’v come to enjoy Hal9000’s ROTS more than Force Awakens. But if I’m comparing the theatrical releases, well then I’d have to go with Force Awakens.
Just watched it tonight also 😃 It never fails to amaze me.
I really hope that the “awesome” line is not replacing “immeasurable.” I should have considered it was gonna be a spliced in line.
Looks like it is going to be called “Forces of Destiny”. http://www.avsforum.com/name-next-star-wars-film/
Hmmmmmm…
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but in order to obtain the preservation effort ‘Despecialized’ versions, you have to own the official releases. Otherwise the entire project could be jeopardized. Grab the official Blu rays and then I am sure an invite will not be a problem. Cheers.
Hi, I have been a fan of the Star Wars films ever since I saw Star Wars in the theater in 1977. I have copies in VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray. I have the 2011 and 2015 versions, including the steelbook versions.
I have downloaded the MKV versions of Harmy’s and Towne32’s Despeciallized versions already, but would love to have njvc’s versions on blu-ray as well. The work that Harmy, njvc, Dark Jedi, towne32, hairy hen and others has been spectacular.
An invite to spleen would be most appreciated. I’ll still around to seed the good works on spleen. Thank you, all.
Now this is an example of a fan who deserves to have an invite. PM’d.
Hmmmm. I prefer a previous take of two lines from the trailers.
“The world is coming undone.”
The one from the first Offical trailer (after the teaser), is better IMO than the one in the IMAX tv spot.
“The power we are dealing with here is immeasurable”.
I prefer the original take over the “awesome” version.
Still really excited but am hoping that they don’t use the takes shown in the IMAX teaser.
