That would be interesting. If you were removing the superlaser I would go with the idea that the dreadnaught destroys the NR capital, which reframes the attack on it in TLJ as Poe wanting to get revenge for it. I think Snooker made a mock up of it and it looked great. Makes the FO seem like a much smaller group too.
On top of that making his robes dark like they were in the show would be cool assuming you only cut his head out to paste on Shaw.
It would be interesting to see a full saga edit that attempts to remove the sibling connection from every film. But, I do agree it would be cleaner to just remove the romance aspects of ANH and ESB. Are there any edits that do that for ANH? I don’t think I’ve ever come across one.
This is exactly what I’ve wanted to do with Andor ever since it was released. Would love to see it completed!
Try this one off his Twitter:

The one on the Gizmodo article seems to be pretty high quality still, you’d just have to remove the Episode VII and crop it a bit.
With all the Ahsoka content out would it be possible to take older Hayden and make a new ROTJ ghost with it?
Those look great! I can’t find the textless one in good quality but the one with text is a much higher resolution, may take some Photoshop to get the TFA one complete.
Yeah, I’d definitely rather keep the flashbacks intact and have the movie be slightly longer, they’re a core part of Ahsoka’s arc.
I like the way it is, keeps the cool gungan world and gets to Padme faster. I never minded removing it but I think this is better.
I thought it was really great, the edits were smooth and I didn’t really notice anything missing. The train and coloring really help the cgi to blend better too. Here are some things I would maybe change:
I think a new crawl with the preserved title would be a good change, the current one is bogged down by taxes and trade routes for two paragraphs instead of establishing the Galaxy.
I’d maybe remove the big boss nass blubber, the little one he does before it seems like enough
The midichlorian scene could probably be removed completely, I was kind of confused on what qui gon was doing to Anakin. Did he get burnt or something?
Personally I’d like to see the whole chosen one prophecy removed, I think the three trilogies mesh better without it. Not sure how you’d do it with qui gon and Yoda at the end though.
This may just be my speakers, but I felt like I had to turn the volume up for dialogue and down for the action heavy stuff. Maybe take a look at the mixing?
That’s all I can think of right now, I’ll go back through it and see if anything else sticks out. Can’t wait for AOTC.
I’d love a link!

This is pretty much exactly that. If someone could make Blu Ray covers out of all 9 of these posters that would be amazing.
Those all sound amazing, I would love to see them realized even if they don’t make it to this edit. I’d definitely use it for my own cut.
I’d love a link too, his email list isn’t working for me.
EDIT: Nevermind, I recieved the link via the email request.
I’d like those too, I think I preferred the old one. The old one looked pretty perfect to me, while the newer one’s Anakin looks slightly weirdly proportioned to my eyes. Still amazing though.
If that could be pulled off with the AI then that would be great, I like mentioning Padme as another way to tie the trilogies together.
I’m probably in the minority but I like the theatrical line for the Leia flashback better than it is right now. It implies that Leia is fully a Jedi when she dies, and gives her an actual reason to stop rather than just because. It also mirrors Revenge of the Sith with how Anakin experienced visions of Padme dying, and chose to go to the dark side to prevent it. Here, Leia wants to prevent it at first, but chooses to fully embrace the light at the end, completing her training. And when Ben dies at the end, it fulfills the prophecy, but in a way we didn’t expect. I don’t think it really spoils the ending rather than foreshadows it, and the way in which Ben dies is still a surprise.
Looks awesome, I can’t wait to see them all!
Any updates? I can’t wait to see your versions of 1 and 2 especially.
+1 for a version of this with the original Vader/Leia ending, with one of those amazing Leia deepfakes. This would be my goto edit with that.
Sounds great! Will the Rey Nobody version be updated with these as well?
Was Mace facing Sidious alone ever complete? I would love to use that in an edit and the screenshot looks good but not sure if it was ever shown.
Sounds great! Are you going to wait to release them all at once or release them whenever they’re finished? I’d love to check them out.
I think adding a line to Jannah implying that Finn was a known figure amongst the stormtroopers and was at least partly why they were inspired to rebel would be a nice way to suggest the stormtrooper rebellion plotline. Having Jannah know who Finn is makes her more willing to trust him and have him lead the squad into battle later. Something like:
FINN: I never knew there were more.
JANNAH: Deserters. We all heard your story.
Not sure if there’s enough material from Jannah to get a good reading, though.
