A five year old could follow the plot of Rogue One. I know they don’t like the film but damn…

I’ll admit my first couple times through I didn’t understand why they had to blow a hole in the shield gate when Bodhi could get a signal to the Rebel Fleet no problem, but there is an explanation. If you have it on Blu-Ray, you can take the time to rewatch a given scene to get a better idea of what’s going on for your commentary.

(The data files are too big to get through the shield, or something, but the smaller communications from Bodhi wasn’t big enough to be blocked. I don’t like that explanation, but it exists.)

Admittedly I was projecting so I apologize if my comment upset you in any way. As it pertains to the chain of events during the Battle of Scariff I found the whole thing with the shield to be unnecessary. The pacing of the battle would have been so much smoother had Jyn and Cassian taken the floppy disk we see in STAR WARS to Leia. The best way to do this of course is to have them travel to Coruscant which would kill two Mynocks with one blaster shot. I don’t even want to know the explanation for why Leia was at that battle.

They had to BEAM the transmissions to her ship to line up with ANH.

Why Didn't Qui Gon Gin's Body Disappear Like Obiwan's and Yoda's?
Time

I wish Lucas had just had everyone disappear, but I’m sure he kept Qui-Gon in one piece because he wanted the funeral scene. Can you imagine how Order 66 would be if everyone disappeared as soon as they died? Just piles of robes everywhere. I’d love it. Instead we get a tacked on scene in RotS where Yoda explains that Qui-Gon figured out how to not become one with the Force after becoming one with the Force.

WHYYYYYY??? What reason do you have for killing Lando off??? Just because he’s not in the Sequel Trilogy doesn’t mean he’s dead!!

And what are you going to do about if it does happen?

The beautiful thing about fan edits is that they’re SUPER easy to ignore.

The Force Awakens: Official Review Thread - ** SPOILERS **
Time

Rey knows all about Han Solo and the Rebellion, but doesn’t know about “Jedi Mind Tricks”? I believe the in-universe is that everyone has seen or heard the equivalent of the OT. Sure, they may be rumors or just fantasy, but its “true, all of it”. Wouldn’t you try to use the mind trick if you found out that Star Wars was real? I still wave my hand whenever I pass through an automatic door.

So as I understand it, Ady’s revisited editions are basically his idea of what the SEs should have been (& I’m very inclined to agree on pretty much all the changes especially after watching ANH:R) and therefore there wouldn’t be any drastic changes to the story such as killing of Lando. I believe he is simply having everyone on as indicated by a quote of Ady from the “Save Lando” thread posted on the previous page here.

To be fair, I coined the phrase “What The Special Editions Should Have Been”, these are basically Ady’s personal edits that he happens to share with the rest of the world. I did seriously push for killing Lando, but Ady wouldn’t go for it because he personally didn’t like it, not because of some responsibility to continuity.

That being said, I am glad to have it confirmed that Lando won’t be making a sudden departure in ROTJ:R. As much as I respect that it’s Ady’s edit, that would be one change to far for me. As long as the end celebration music is replaced with the original music (or at least the current SE music replaced with something more respectful to the OT) and Vader / Ananikan’s force ghost restored to the original actor instead of Hayden that GL shoehorned in there to try and forcibly tie the PT into the OT, I’ll be very happy. One of my most hated changes by GL was when he changed that and changed the music with the extended ending celebration.

Personally, I like “Victory Celebration”. Sure I miss “Yub Nub”, but its a good ending to Return of the Jedi, maybe to the trilogy, but certainly not to the whole saga. Personally.

But, this isn’t the thread for any of this anyway.

“Save Lando” is the gift that keeps on giving, going on 8 years now.

I also like that people are STILL not understanding that Ady is making these edits to make the six movies tie better together, and insist on bringing up the EU & possible future movies, as if he could predict what’s going to happen in movies that are going to come out every year until our grandchildren are worried about what order to show the movies to their children.

Please don’t judge me when I say that I hope the Revisited versions of the OT won’t contradict the official versions of the PT. Then again, since the OT is so sacred to many, most of the changes made to them are aesthetic, and not story-related.

Some of Adywan’s changes to RotJ may depend on what he can change in the PT. I’m still sure they’ll fit better than how much the PT already contradicts the OT.

Can you make a list on everything that’s been announced about ROTJ:R?

Pardon me for seeming naive, but how does the PT contradict the OT?

Leia remembering her mother for one.

It’s “psychometry.”

It’s called “being so engrossed in the story you want to tell now that you ignore facts presented in stories you wrote 20 years before”. And this isn’t the thread for this.

“Disney Will Never Alter or Restore Original Star Wars Trilogy.
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy has officially confirmed that they have no plans on messing with the cuts and intend to leave the movies the way that George Lucas did when he revisited them in the 90s.”

There are so many things wrong with that statement.
