Thank you for the hard work g00b.
Just looking to make sure everything is in order. The size of the 1080p version of the 2-6 episode just released is much larger in comparison to all other 1080p episodes of your edit.
The size is not an issue. Just wondering if it is supposed to be that way.
Are you redubbing the English lines? That is my understanding.
If so, this could open the door to replacing poor dialogue.
They really seem to be forcing the, “Watch the cute little Grogu baby” concept when that should have died after season 1.
I agree with what everybody else said. This is only worth it when available to stream. With an apparent Thrawn movie coming out, there is not much story to tell here when factoring in the time period between the sequels.
Smudger, I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put in. If I have it correct, you have completed TV to movie edits of all the Star Wars shows except Clone Wars and Rebels, which are both in good hands as well.
Job well done.
Folks, I think Vladius may have the right idea about our new friend Wicketthewarrick.
This appears to be a very young indidual in need of some guidance like the way EddieDean demonstrated.
I think test clips of those changes regarding the fall and lightsaber would be interesting to see if everything flows smoothly.
Also, taking away Maul’s blood is a nice touch.
Is there a way you can extract or replicate those settings from other video files from prior episodes and seasons?
Does that make sense or am I talking nonsensically?
Thanks for hosting the ESB extended edit of another editor. Nice of you.
Are you upscaling every deleted scene for every pre-Disney Star Wars movie while having edits planned for all of them? I know you already have plenty of these partially completed.
I hope you are not overwhelming yourself. I have been a big fan of all the work you have completed, but over the years we have seen other people overwork themselves.
There have been a few other adaptations of Heir to the Empire by fans on YouTube.

Nice to see fans putting in the work and adding their own flavor.
Terence Stamp. Zod from the Donner Superman films, Lester Superman film. He was also Chancellor Valorum in Episode I the Phantom Menace. He was 87.
He would later return to the Superman universe as the voice of Jor - El in the television show Smallville.
Am I remembering correctly that something similar happened before?
Are you changing the introduction and audio for every episode of your edit?
I hope you have plans to complete your edit while you are still alive. Sarcasm aside, the constant improvements are much appreciated.
Broom Kid,
I apologize if my post came across as aggressive. Unfortunately, the internet does not allow us to show emotion or intent.
I am glad about what you are attempting to do. I will be looking at your upload in a bit here. However, I think it could be useful for some of your changes where cuts and trims are made to show a before and after so we can get a sense if the cuts feel natural and flow smoothly.
My impression here is that you are making your own edit with Hal’s as a base, correct?
Hi Broom Kid,
Very excited for your changes.
I think you made enough changes for a new thread. I also do not want Hal’s thread to get sidetracked here. I would like for him to retire from editing like he stated a while back. He has contributed more than enough to the fan editing community.
Anyway here are some thoughts for possible additional changes (I am open for people to tell me why they disagree):
I think an opening crawl could be helpful and make this movie feel more like another Star Wars “episode” and Part 1 of 2 of a New Hope.
I would cut Lyra telling Jynn to trust the force. Why would their family care or be aware of the force anyway?
Later in the movie, I would cut or trim Jynn praying with that necklace she received from her mother. She is not a force user nor should she have any familiarity.
Check out the new created line for Krennic discussing the Geonosians. This could be a possible addition, but there would be an obvious lip sync issue and hard to realistically fit in.
I think Saw was portrayed as excessively eccentric. I think he should be toned down a bit to appear more stable and similar to his Clone Wars form. Much of his eccentric behavior was removed with the early Bohdi scenes. Maybe cut using his breathing apparatus before Jynn. This content really made me cringe.
Not sure about this, but a potential trimmed reinstatement of the scene where Bodhi was dragged in front of Saw.
Best of luck on this edit.
ANYWAY: If you need 5.1 audio for both “Fuck the Empire” and the re-voiced Vader/Krennic scene lemme know, I can shoot that over to you no problem
Are you referring to the Ryan Golden Vader voice on YouTube?
- Force new users through a rules acknowledgment step, especially emphasizing “no link requests.”
I think this should be universal for all fan edit forums. It will prevent a lot of confusion for new users.
I would not take the attacks over at the Fanedit Reddit forum personally. A few of those folks tend to get a bit puritanical when editing certain movies.
Besides, my fanedit philosophy has always been that if you are not interested, then no need to comment or attack. We have way too many real problems in this world to get upset over fan edits.
Anyway, I have enjoyed some of your edits. Keep up the solid work.

Someone made an AI video right after the twilight of the apprentice episode of Vader having a brief discussion with the emperor. I wonder if this can be animated by someone to be incorporated into the Rebels series. I know that would be highly unlikely though.
I have been eagerly looking for this for a long time.
I think a few months back you were going to have Vader’s fighter light speed away after getting shot by the Falcon. Is that still accurate?
Is it realistic to wrap up all the plot threads that go unresolved?
Either way I am fully on board with your focus being on Andor. I fully expect it to have stronger content versus Bad Batch season 3.
I am interested in the new Maul show. However, I think the show is effectively redundant with what we got out of Maul in the Clone Wars.
He becomes head of a crime syndicate, takes on a new apprentice, and then inevitably loses everything.
This is effectively the same plot.

This animated preview of Son of Dathomir could be something to pay attention to as it could be very relevant for this edit.
I agree that version B just feels more natural.
On another note, do we really need Finn’s constant interruptions? It breaks the flow and tension.
Best of luck any way this turns out.
Years ago I proposed that the film started with Luke on Dagobah completing his training by creating his lightsaber telekinetically. Yoda dies, having trained Luke and not just in mid sentence. Luke returns to Tatooine only to discover that in her inpatience Leia has already attempted to rescue Han and failed. Luke then has to rescue the rescue. It means shifting some scenes around and construction of new shots. But the technology to do so is almost upon us.
You actually don’t need new shots (If you assume Luke has been training the whole time and built his lightsaber sometime between V and VI). That’s pretty much how my cut runs. You just need a new crawl that says Luke is now a full Jedi Knight and will soon leave Dagobah to join Leia in a daring plan yada yada. If you wanna see that section I can render it out and post a link.
*It looks like you posted thus multiple times by accident.
I personally would love to see how you worked this out.
