Why the prequels shouldn't be about Anakin and Obi Wan
Time

I disagree. I think that when you further establish the friendship of obi wan and Anakin it makes all the events in the OT mean more. This is obviously theoretically speaking (since the actual prequels did a terrible job of establishing them as friends).

By focusing on Anakins fall and the tradegy of it, his redemption in ROTJ means even more. So, merely explaining backstory isn’t a reason to focus on Obi Wan and Anakin but the true reason is to make so many aspects of the OT more emotionally resonant.

Do I wish the prequels didn’t focus on Obi Wan and Anakin? No.

Do I wish the prequels did the relationship more justice? Yes.

I worry! Good golly I worry! Jeez guys, please look after yourselves.

I can’t even begin to understand your motivations and what it does for you because I don’t drink. I never got a taste for it and none of my family really drink. I’m not anti-booze or morally superior or anything, I just think it’s gross.

I know I’m new to posting here but you lot aren’t new to me! I’ve been reading you for many years and I want you to all be happy because you, with the obvious notable exceptions, seem like good people. I just worry when I hear you talking about doing harmful things when you’ve got the option not to (if that makes sense.)

How about a nice cup of tea instead?!

p.s. Seriously, take care guys.

Glad you don’t drink. I’ve been sober since March 5th. But last weekend I bought 2 Crystal Heads with the idea of crashing and burning. But somehow I stopped short. I didn’t even open them. They’re still sitting in the corner. It’s not that I’m not tempted. It’s more that I hate myself too much to give me such an easy out. I’d rather keep them there. Tormenting me. Wonderful stuff.

Anyway. Don’t drink. Don’t start. It’s hell.

Peace.

Shit. I drank a couple of Mikes hard lemonade and got a good buzz before a high school dance we had earlier this year. No headache. No desire to drink again. Just boosted my enjoyment a bit.

Smithers' Prequel Fanedits (a Work In Progress)
Time

Smithers said:

I’ve also 100% decided on an idea I’ve discussed in the prequel radical redux thread. The change is that before Qui-Gon even encounters Anakin, you see a few scenes of his life as a slave and a podracer. My edit will contain two podraces, one where Anakin loses second place to sebulba and another one where he uses Qui-Gon’s advice and wins the race. Both races have been edited very differently. Neither races will use the exact same shot twice, they’ve been edited into one-lap races as well.

The first race contains many racer death scenes and showcases Sebulba cheating, it will contain Anakin’s conversations with both his mother and Sebulba before the race. It shows how dangerous the races can be and how much Anakin risks every time he goes out onto the track. The music is intense and holds suspense, the entire first race is about 4-5 minutes long. The second race is more about Anakin’s emotions and his first time truly accepting and channeling the force, it will only contain Qui-Gon’s words to Anakin before the race. It will be scored with much more emotional music and hopefully it’ll feel very much like the final trench run with Luke in ANH. Both races will be edited to feel both fresh and non-repetitive.

Jar Jar will make a short appearance on Tatooine in the edit but he will be color-corrected and dubbed. He’ll just be portrayed as an alien that exists in the universe but isn’t really a character. Same thing goes for the Gungan who announces chancellor Palpatine’s election in one of my clips, he’s just an anonymous Gungan, not Jar Jar.

I will upload clips for all of this once I have some dialogue recorded for Anakin, the voice actor I’ve picked has quite a bit of experience in plays and has also done a few commercials. I’m confident that he’ll be able to bring the emotion that the character needs in his line delivery.

Youv got me so hooked on this edit! This idea sounds genius!

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

jedimasterobiwan said:

Do you think ultra hd blu ray with the wider color gamut and hdr will make the picture quality on this edit obsolete?

Only if you sit there and compare the two! Eventually everything is going to look shoddy compared to the latest new thing. As far as modern standards go, I’d say that in most viewer’s homes a 720p movie on a big screen telly (especially when given Adywan’s care) is going to look perfectly good.

Maybe once a super-duper-brand-harry-spankers new official version is released on ultra HD some fan editor will do what Ady has done again.

I, personally, don’t plan on going past 1080p HD for the foreseeable future so the fact the Revisited Saga is “only” in 720p doesn’t really bother me.

Exactly my feelings.

Remember this the next time someone suggests Frink gets a free pass around here.

Yes but it took a lot of time and a lot his spam before the action was taken. So he was given a preferential treatment (as usually) and essentially a free pass for way too long.

Didn’t you say that you refused to tell Jay about your stance? This is like someone getting robbed, refusing to report the crime, and then complaining about the police not catching him.

You completely missed the point here (your usual business anyway). I have never complained about the spam. In this case, I pointed out that Frink do get a preferential treatment since it was claimed otherwise. And I don’t really care about him getting a preferential treatment either. I simply care about facts.

?? What ??

No kidding.

Goddamn you guys are a bunch of humorless pricks.

Not when it’s good humour. Which it wasn’t.

It was good to begin with but then it just got old. Constant off topic spamming crosses the line.

It’s not a theory. I can personally guarantee you that the majority of people on this forum are tired of your computer “joke”. This nonsense is just a reflection of that.

I for one, am tired of this “joke”. Spamming almost all the forums with this “joke” is just about as off topic and disruptive as possible.

Worst villain: The Emperor
Time

In ROTS (Labyrinth of Evil 😉) palpatine convinces Anakin to join the dark side because the sith embrace all aspects of the force and that the Jedi are corrupt and wrong. Whereas in ROTJ he just says “you’ll turn to the dark side”. You understand how Anakin turns cause Palptine convinced him that what is presented as wrong is right. Luke is simply told that he should do what’s wrong. It really seemed like the emperor used reverse psychology on Luke.

The Force Awakens : Fan Edit Ideas
Time

Kexikus said:

I agree with you, the TIEs should come from the stardestroyer in the background and also be far away so that it makes sense for the patrons not to run away. I would actually make them even smaller in that first shot of Finn looking to the sky. I would even go as far and make them really tiny white spots coming from the Stardestroyer and then about as big as they are in Telecines version for the second shot when Han and the patrons look up. But there also need to be some transports and in Telecines version they seem too ordered, which kinda makes them fake-looking I guess. I don’t really know how to fix that but I think some more variety in their movement/position could help.

I absolutely agree Dominic. Do you people wanna see everyone win at the end? God damn people think that just because it’s darker means it’s a rewrite of ESB. Really makes me lose my shit when people say these things. Your either gonna stay happy, be even lighter or go darker. Take your pick
