But seriously, you could read the book. =)

I like where you put the line, "you catch on pretty quick... You actually could place that in a more serious edit when Captain Pancake says, "We'll be sitting ducks."
It comes off as Han Solo sarcasm... A much needed solo moment.
READY. FOR. THIS.
Nice job. Not sure if I would keep it in..... But impressive. I always thought that the prequel vader could have been closer to McQuarrie work... Just to give the suit variations over the years.
Sorry, i've been pretty busy. Thanks for the feedback, Skye.
Did I miss the memo about using our real pictures?
Why or why not?
Still working....
Question of the day:
Should my flashbacks only prequel related?
Yeah, that's right. Spence is hoarding him at the moment. When is it my turn? I need some Ewoks in the ANH footage!
NO! You already have BobGarcia!! ;)
Anyone else have any DVD cover skills?
Thanks Spence.
Trying to decide on a new clip to show off... In the meantime, does anyone make DVD covers? I'm curious about what we could come up with. Thanks!
I'm really late in the game, Spence, but I have always enjoyed your edits, and your ROTS actually stands as one of my fav edits. Looking forward to this. Keep up the good work!
Oh and I also eliminated Obi-Wan jumping out the window. Something that has bothered a lot of people, including me.
Very much toned down... and the sequence was chopped to pieces. lol
My Zam chase scene as it stands right now.
Yes, I'm still working on this. Debating on the next clip I show off. Stay tuned!
I've toyed with some of these ideas, and for some reason that just don't click with... I'm going to tinker more. Thanks again for everyone who gave their opinion/advice.
I understand you're trying to do something fresh. I really get that, and can work for some eyes. At the end of the day make sure you're making it the way you want to. I take advice, but if I disagree, I disagree. Because in the end, it's what I want to see.
Now as far as what I think, I started to like it, but then it got old going back to black. Have you thought of taking an Indiana Jones title approach? I don't know, it's just what I saw in my head.
Keep plugging along man. You never know, this could be one of the better edits out there when you get done with it.
Good ole Shadows.. That was a fun game.

I love it! Excellent transition into it. Everyone wonders what method can fix the prequels, well this is it! Having them as flashbacks, you can cut out as much crap as you want :-)
Good work!
I agree.
I just watched a short clip and it was awesome. Extend the Original Trilogy with flashbacks from the prequels. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMdn4yYy7-s
This makes me want to learn editing now.
Brilliant.
I appreciate it. I wish I could claim the idea, but I can't. This was something imagined originally by InfoDroid and TJDavis. Honestly, wish I had their version in my hands... It was going to be epic.
However, I'm trying my best to deliver something special.
Also, A-man is working on a similar style edit if you want to see his progress.

I don't know.. Looked at it again. I get it... A ship is getting shot up and then an escape pod goes off, ends up on the surface of a planet where two droids have emerged from. It's not confusing to me, and again, don't want to reuse shots if I don't have to. And I don't believe I have to in this case. I appreciate the feedback though.
Is anyone else confused?
Well like you'd said, you have to put aside your former knowledge of the movie. For someone who hasn't seen it, they'd see two ships, then out of nowhere see this strange device (with no basis on size since we never see it against a ship) shooting out of some strange shaft and heading for the planet.
And re-using the shot later on in the flashback would only make it feel more "full circle".
I hear ya rpvee. I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. However, like I said before, I do agree (I think) on having a fade at the end of the flashback. Hope to try that today to see how it looks. I appreciate your advice regardless.

Me too.... My kid wanted to party last night... Babies are so selfish.
