A New Hope: Re-revisited? 😛

My actual suggestions below:

ANH: Now I am the Master
ANH: Action Re-imagined
ANH: Dusted & Polished
ANH: Tales of a Jedi

All the best with your edit!

Thanks! I keep re-working things to see what feels best. So It’s taking a little longer that I thought lol. I’ve been an artist my whole life, so I’m kind of picky about what I put out into the world.

I like ANH: Action Re-imangined. I’m thinking about ANH: Dark before the Dawn… What do you guys think?

Well, that Kenobi line just doesn’t sound right, so I will switch it to Obi Wan. It’s still the same affect that Vader senses it, I just wanted to keep it closer to the source.

I’m still not finding a title that seem to fit the cut. IlFanEditore has some good ideas, but I’m not doing a custom crawl, so I want something more of a 2nd title like I have with my Last Jedi edit. I want to make my posters more contestant too. To bad Rise of Skywalker is taken lol.

Are you using Adywan’s ANH as the source and does that mean the release will be DVD quality instead of HD?

Yes I am, so the quality will be 720, not 1080. So it is considered to be HD. I was able to rip it out of the iso file and not have to burn it and then rip it. So it’s still a good clear picture.

“You’ve seen the end of Kenobi”.
Vader to Tarkin after the MF leaves the DS.

Titles: The Son of Skywalker, Reign of the Empire, The Heir of Skywalker…

Thank you very much! I think, A New Hope: Heir of Skywalker might be a decent title.

I’m very close to releasing an updated cut of A New Hope. I started out with Adywan’s version of the movie because I like his the best. Then after seeing sc38 reimagined, I wanted to (Like many people I’m sure) splice parts of that into the movie. I cut the bad CG moments and only used what flowed with the original. I didn’t just “drop” it in.

Then I figured, as long as I’m updating that, I could also splice in some Vader that I cut from Rogue One into this. (Yes, I’m working on an edit for that movie too lol but this isn’t where I plan to talk about what I’m doing there). I also have a slightly updated Death Star Explosion (No not ForceGhostRecon’s, this is different).

So the idea is that I update the movie a bit with some newer footage and a few other cuts that I will post later. I know that this will not be to a purist liking. This is just some fun I thought I would have. I like the Adywam approach of keeping the parts of the updated footage that was less offensive. This edit keeps that spirit. This isn’t a whole new movie like I did with The Last Jedi.

When adding the SC 38 footage, I am working on removing some of the PT dialog that was dubbed in. It’s fine as a stand alone fan piece, but it doesn’t work in the actual movie. So I’m re-scoring parts of it. I need to ask you guys 2 questions.

1. Where does Vader say “Kenobi”? I only ever hear him say Obi Wan?
2. Can you guys help me think of a better title lol?

This should be coming your way soon!

Great ideas with the training scenes, and improving Luke’s disposition!

That was my main focus on the edit, I’m glad you liked it!

while I very much enjoyed the Last Jedi and saw it 3 times in the theater , I like some of what you did here . some of my impressions after seeing this… …I like the altered musical cues you used as well as the transitions showing the passage of time and the flashback to TFA just before Finn wakes from his Coma was a nice touch

Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback

I have deleted the 10gb link because it takes too long to download. I played with the file types and I have 1 that is 4gb and 1 that is 475mb if you are watching on the computer with VLC for easier downloads.

I wanted to take a second to say that you to all of you! This has been a great experience and a wonderful community!

I didn’t know what to expect when I decided to post on here. But I need to give a special shout out and much gratitude to ForceGhostRecon! If you haven’t checked out this guys edit yet, please go support him.

ForceGhostRecon did something for me that I really needed to make my edit feel complete. He let me use the Green Lightsaber footage! Seriously, how amazing is that!

I want to send out links to my updated cut. There’s more going on than just the color of the lightsaber that I did. but that alone would have made me want to send you all out links, so keep an eye on your inbox if you have PM’d in the past for a copy of this cut.

I really wanted to make sure I did this open and public to thank ForceGhostRecon because it meant so much to me and I wanted everyone to know what kind of person we have here. I refuse to take credit for someone else’s work. So if you appreciate my cut and feel that Green just makes it better, then you have him to thank.

Well, I tried to post the image into the forum, but I couldn’t figure it out, but if you click on the link, it pops up.

If someone can tell me how to post an image, I have a poster for this cut of the movie.

I also have a cut list if anyone is interested. I didn’t post it because of spoilers for this version of the film, but if you guys think it’s a good idea to post it, I will.

While I did enjoy the Last Jedi , Your attitude of respect makes me curious to want to see your edit . Well thought out and articulated post . Will be watching with great interest .

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Hello! I’m not exactly new to this site, but I haven’t been very active until now either. I started out on here almost a year ago. I was looking for fan edits of the Prequel Trilogy and have found some interesting ones.Then I heard about edits of other movies and started watching them. I have seen so many that I thought were great, but I was also wondering things like “If they did this here, why didn’t they do that there” kind of things. So I started thinking, why don’t I try editing?

This is not the first movie I’ve edited, I was practicing on others first and then would show friends and get feedback and learned from there. This is the first movie that I feel will be something I should make available to the public though. I will eventually go back and re-work the other ones and submit them too.

So with this movie, in my personal opinion, was awful. I know that there are people who like it, and I have no problem with that. This is my personal opinion. I started watching Ivan Ortaga on YouTube talking about things he was doing, and I like some of what I was hearing, again, still wonder about some of the other choices being made. I watched an edit called “The Anti Cringe” cut. But still felt there were things that I would like to see different.

So I went to work. I not just cut, but I re-arranged the movie. One thing I thought was not just the really bad jokes, but the pacing seemed to be all over the place. Things felt wonky for lack of a better word and out of place.

I also had to build scenes. Like for example I built a training montage for Rey. Then I had to find music for it and so on. Then I wanted to cut Canto Bight. But that left some minor plot holes and Rian Johnson had enough of them as it was, so I had to create another scene to fill that in.

I also used some deleted footage to fill the movie back out and give it a different feel. I had to re re-purpose dialog in places. I gave Luke a different personality etc… I really wanted mine to be a different edit than what anyone else was doing. Yes, if someone did something that I liked, I used it, but I didn’t steal it. I just did my own version of it. For example, The Training Montage was not my idea, but I liked it, so I created one and used some Luke dialog from material I deleted as voice over. I also added a lot of my own ideas.

I have links I can share with anyone who is interested in seeing what I was able to do. I have some people on fanedit.org who are viewing it. So far the feedback has been really positive.

I am not trying to stir anything up for the people who liked the movie. Movie’s like all forms of entertainment are subjective, and everyone’s has an opinion on what is good or bad, what they like or don’t like. One is not anymore valid than another.
