There could be more footage to use in the future to help implement that.
Granted, you could always leave it as is and let the audience use their imagination. 😉
I got it! You had a url with a google docs/whatever that has a read me that has an extended opening crawl paragraph to explain everything.
I know, its genius!
Wow, those are great resources for Ady to include for his extended battle scenes. Very noice!
I think the movie should do that, not the opening text.
Too late for that I guess.
I agree it should do that, but alas it does not very well.
You kind of need the crawl to explain why the republic does not view the first order as a threat. I mean … It’s the “new” empire, why would they NOT be weary of them? I kind of feel like there needs to be something that mentions the republics either denial or inability to confront the first order.
That was my view the first time watching it … why would the republic NOT be wigging out about the First Order?
I am ok with the crawl containing more information, thus making them a little bit longer.
It is really needed. The movie has a HUGE gap between the original trilogy to it. After watching the movie for the first time, it was hard to understand the plot/politics between the Republic, Resistance and the First Order. Having the crawl help satisfy that would be much appreciated and needed.
I did a quick preview of it, at least viewing the first minute or so then at the credits. From those quick glances & listening the audio sounds good on the computer. The file size I have is 30.5 GB.
Just finished downloading it … putting on flash drive to take home after work…
So excited!
Is there enough pieces of dialogue from relevant characters to perhaps change his name to ‘Snokehouse’?
The new extended special edition.
Oh boy I am going to be hated for that…
With Hal’s TFA Restructuring version 2 coming out this weekend, I’d love to see his fanedit and your fanedit combined.
That’s the idea. The plan was to use TFA:R V2 as a base, which is why he’s focused his efforts on helping get that one done first. I’m looking forward to checking this project out, too!
True, but I also like collaborative projects more than working alone. It’s like working on a real movie, and the back and forth is just more fun 😃
I can pretend to be helpful so it feels like a collaboration. 😉
A protocol droid being able to feel pain ( or the appearance of pain) and a walking battery being programmed to feel pain are two entirely different things. Protocol droids were made to have a human like appearance and , in the case of 3P0 especially, human traits. These things would have been programmed into them because of their function: to converse with other life forms. A Gonk droid is just a walking battery. Why bother programming any emotions into something like that?
One the main reasons i hated that scene from the first time i saw it is the god awful voice is was given. Suddenly a gonk droid can talk and say “no”? It was given a babyish vocal and sounded ridiculous. If that was supposed to show the droids peril in Jabbas palace, then it fell completely flat and made something that could have been perilous into another facepalm humour moment. And, if it was meant to be humorous, it failed because no one laughed during the many showing i saw in '83, and this was back when the audience got involved with the film, cheering, clapping etc. The droid being pulled apart had the same stupid kiddy vocalising. That type of silly-vocal style plagued ROTJ and then grew with the prequels (and then the new=SE with obi-wan’s howl). Then we have salacious crumb, Chewies Tarzan yell, the ewok during the speeder chase…Even R2 suffered with his now baby like sounds. Ridiculous sound effects/ vocals. These things have to be changed. There are so many parts of ROTJ that just seem like a failed, comedic parody of Star Wars.
Claps
I’m quite sure it was intended to be funny. And I’m quite sure it fell flat.
I think so too.
Lol oh wow, I never noticed that!
The line sounds odd technically and the choice of words is peculiar (“swept aside”).
Well it does match Tarkin’s line about the senate in ANH 😉
Hux is Tarkin’s reincarnation, theory confirmed! 😉
Even taking the PT out of the equation, Obi-wan clearly didn’t see any good left in Vader.
I agree about the Snoke music, but understand the reasons against it. shrugs

I still think this is the simplest and cleanest way to do it. However, I love the music cue with the horns you did Ridley, great timing!
yes, lets move on!
So recently watched ROTJ with a group a friends and was thinking about some of Adywan’s ideas/changes to some scenes.
The line “I’ve known line…” does stick out as being so … awkward. I remember one of Ady’s post talking about removing that and I think it would be a wise change.
Here’s the best I can come up with based on what we have so far:

Wow, its really coming together nicely.
Essentially polishing up the Snoke scene and it’s looking really good. It has a great flow to it and is an improvement. Heck, now with Leia reacting after Han’s death AND the republic with those multiple planets … harkens back to Obi-Wan with Alderaan’s distraction. Really nice.
The possible … erm, their for Owen and Obi Wan is … not much trutfulness at the beginning. They may had an agreement to not tell Luke the truth, or full truths, about his family background.
Not too too much of a hard sell since they both pretty much lied to Luke in the first movie about such thing.
Obi always had a different point of view on things. 😉
“The part that I had never really developed is the death of Luke and Leia’s mother. I had a back story for her in earlier drafts, but it basically didn’t survive. When I got to JEDI, I wanted one of the kids to have some kind of memory of her because she will be a key figure in the new episodes I’m writing.”
–George Lucas, Star Wars-The Return Of The Jedi: Annotated Screenplay, 1997
This quote you used for your argument invalidates your view on this whole matter about force visions, etc. His original plan when writing ROTJ was to have Leia spend time with mama Skywalker to have good memories. But WHILE HE IS WRITING THE PREQUELS KNOWING HIS ORIGINAL PLAN ABOUT LEIA AND PADME, he kills off Padma at child birth.
That’s a high level of bad writing in my book.
I appreciate those trying to connect the dots, as well as Disney/Lucasfilms trying to fix the major plot holes.
But its pretty simple, it was a mistake in the PT. Also, it wasn’t shown that Yoda trained Anikin … Obi did from the very beginning.
I can be wrong, but wasn’t it Crime and Punishment the author stopped for a period of time writing his novel … then picked it up again and forgot the age of one of the characters? She went from suddenly a young kid to a young adult? I could be remembering incorrectly, but it was a mistake.
Frink, it doesn’t work that way!
Instead, we would need to cause a rip in the sub-hyperspace!
Anyway, back more on topic … I think it has been chatted about … the console in the middle of the hallway on the super star destroyer. Just watched the movie again with some friends and boy does that look odd.
Thank you for the plan to fix the Fett flipped scenes! That bugs me quite a bit!
Also for the ending plan about the ghosts … I like it a lot!
Might be good to keep a mention of the resistance for clarity.
“Good, then we will crush the resistance before they get to Skywalker. Prepare the weapon.”
That would do it. Keeps it concise and flows well.
