I found a good concept video showing the destruction of Alderaan in a more detailed way. I know that you don’t plan to reuse Rogue One footage, but that shot showing a landscape of Alderaan and the one showing Bail in the moment of the explosion are good ones from the games. You plan to make something like that in your edit?

This is pretty interesting concept. Though, some of the shots were of low quality. But for the most part it works.

KENOBI: A STAR WARS STORY [The Radical "Help Me Obi-Wan Kenobi" Cut]
Time

I apologize if I missed it, but Bingowings suggested in another thread that eliminating most if not all of episode 2 and three, and just have Obi-Wan going straight to the fortress corrects a lot of problems. Yes, it eliminates the Vader fight, but I guess he agrees with me in that it wasn’t very good. Just my opinion.

You could remove most of episode 2 and 3 and have the kidnappers take Leia straight to the Spanish Inquisition. Cut the Vader vs Kenobi bit because the suit doesn’t fit and it looks like a fan film. Cut a lot of the in fighting with the Spanish Inquisition. I know the Empire like pitting the military against each other but these guys answer to a very difficult boss and it gets repetitive.

And then I don’t know what to do with the escape in Ep. 4. So comical and I don’t think it was intended. The trench coat reminded me of The Little Rascals short where the kids were stacked in a coat pretending to be an adult. So awful.

1000 worlds of this!

I’d also remove the young Jedi approaching Kenobi because it’s so inconsistent. “The boy must be trained.” “I can’t help you.” WHICH IS IT?!?

I’m deeply sorry, I love the concept idea, but at the same time, on my calibrated monitor those clips are over-saturated and some examples you create a few overexposures that have blown out the hightlights.

Am I the only one seeing this?

To give you something to work with (if you choose to do so.) you might try lowering the exposure levels, because let’s be honest, films are darker lit now.

I’ve often wondered if a reverse approach would be more fascinating by making the prequels more vintage looking.

Alas, that is not the point of this project.

I promise, I’m trying to be helpful, and not cast doubt. These are simply my thoughts.

I wish you well with your project!

Will need some more work. Any suggestions would be good.

I will probably add some dead battledroids, but I wonder if any dead civilianz would be too harsh?

I’m just now reading about this edit, and it looks promising.

I like the clip, the flames a look a tad off, but I see you say you are still tweaking, but the concept works. I wish there could be a way to make it more atmospheric that matches the mood of the scene. Maybe more gray and overcast over mostly sunny with scattered clouds, but that would be a load of rotoscoping work.

Regardless, I’m deeply interested in this. Also, why does Qui-Gon have a purple saber? Was just for the sake of change, or is there a deep cut reason? haha

Cobra Kai Seasons 1-5 FanFix (Spoilers)
Time

Good luck with your edit.

I’ve been working on a Cobra Kai edit. Its mostly an experiment based on a theory I have that these seasons would perform better as single movies than a long-form series. So far, season one is working really well.

I suspect future seasons will be more difficult.

I’m watching this, and am deeply interested in your cuts which are really strong so far!

Good luck!

Dune - Denis Villeneuve
Time

I finally got to see this… Also, new to this thread.

Cast in this is phenomenal, visuals are the same. I read the novel a very long time ago. Seems pretty faithful, though I agree with another poster that more plot could have been added. Maybe by trimming a few extraneous Zendaya perfume commercials. I get it. He’s dreaming of the future, let’s move on.

Felt a bit sleepy in parts, but I’m invested and ready to see more.

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

Good morning, folks.

I have been trying to snag the 1080 copy of this for several days now. I’m using Jdownloader and it’s telling me it will complete in 12 days.

Does anyone have a .MOV of this somewhere on a google drive that I can download from seeing as it’s been out for a bit now?

Thanks regardless!

A personal edit of mine has that aspect cut out of Rogue One. =)

I cannot believe we’re having the Flipper Debate again over a decade later. 😄 Ady removed the flipper arm after coming to the same conclusion the original crew must have, that it just begs the question of how he held a gun in the first place. But instead of following the original crew’s “just throw any arm on the floor”, Adywan made it the good Doctor’s. There’s no reason for him to change that.

There is a reason. It’s canonical and it’s the correct character from the original film.

You may disagree, but don’t say there is “no reason”.

I’ve said it time and time gain, canon means NOTHING when doing a fan edit. Why does the “Great Flipper Debate” keep rearing its head? lol. Anyway, you see Ponda in the cantina with flipper like hands when he is at the bar. Yet the hand belongs to none of them when we saw it cut off. There was no way at the time for me to replace the flipper hands at the bar with the “furry” hand we see severed. So i originally replaced the fur hand with the correct flipper. But that didn’t look right on screen. So , as we see the Doctor reaching for his gun, it was logical to swap it out for his. And it worked. But, i created a prop to do that shot. One i no longer have. Now it’s being done in 1080p i can not upscale the very low res footage i originally created and use it in the 1080p edit. I do now, however, MAYBE have the ability to remove the flippered hands from the shots where we see him at the bar and replace them with furry hands, so the original hand can come back. Especially now since we see him with the furry hands in Rogue One (Damn you Gareth. lol)
