IMHO the Fox fanfare should be added to the ST.

This allows for a potential solution to including Palpatine’s speech. During the searchlight portion, add small sound clips of the probe Droid from TESB. Gradually make them louder, audibly distorting the fanfare sound to correlate with this. Simultaneously, add static to the sound.

As the Lucasfilm logo shows up. Start glitching the screen.
Then pause the fade in/fade out process with regular minimal visual glitches.

During this, play the transmission clip from Fortnite. When it ends, fade to black.

Then proceed regularly to “A long, long time ago…”

STAR WARS

Episode IX
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

Terror! In a move meant to inspire hope, legendary Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, long hidden away in solitude, has sacrificed himself in a decisive blow against the FIRST ORDER. With their hero vanquished and government in ruins however, the Galaxy finds itself frozen in fear at the apparent reemergence of Skywalker’s most dangerous adversary.

In response to the mysterious missive, Supreme Leader
KYLO REN seeks to unlock the
power of his former master,
determined to end the war and
silence the echos of the past.

Meanwhile REY, under the guidance of
General Leia Organa, continues
her Jedi training, searching
for a way to commune
with the Jedi of the past. Only through them can she face the secrets of her own past, and in so doing unlock the only remaining hope for the future…

Ah, makes sense. Thanks 😃

Actually “Luke, is that who you can tell?” would fit perfectly there. He’s blind and confused - not the time for guessing games.

Looks amazing as always. Only question - weren’t the arms going to grab the Tantive for duoking?

No worries. You may have noticed I’m fond of the standard movie “things happen in threes”, so I’m probably grasping at that like usual. 😛

The scene itself is probably the one where Luke feels OT the most. Sadly, that flies in the face of the entire rest of the movie.

I’ll be watching this today, review coming.

Conceptually, I’ve always thought that Rey shouldn’t walk up and give Luke the lightsaber until TLJ. TFA, IMHO, would end perfectly if Rey and Chewie show up, immediately cut to Luke in his hut saying “Go away” Chewie blows off the door. The movie ends with Luke saying “Where’s Han?”, Which circle wipes to the credits. The line has more emotion in the same film as the death, gives us the OT payoff feeling TFA’s ending struggled with.

I’d then spend the first Luke scenes of TLJ with Rey trying to follow Luke around the island. Move the lightsaber handoff to after this, so that he tosses it. Then cut elsewhere. Next time it cuts back to Luke/Rey, they’re sitting and discussing “you think I’m going to come out with a lightsaber and face down the whole First Order”. Proceed as preferred.

Who knows though, maybe your edits will sway my opinion. 😉

I’ve noticed a similar number of us here wish you’d included the Caretakers in some way so you could include the 3rd lesson scene as wanted the alternate release of Ep. 3.

I know you’re unlikely to do this officially with unfinished shots, but I was wondering if I could nudge you to release an “alternate workprint” with that single change implemented for pre-Ep 9 viewing? I won’t have my editing computer for a few months or I’d do it myself 😑

Thanks for the PM.

Any chance of getting a seed for the TinyEncode? Where I’m at, I only have internet on my phone, so dlc/multipart files have been a pain.

Is Jedi out of focus still?

So:

JawsTDS Return of the Gout
Star Wars and Empire

Maul Fan Film

Hal9000 Ep 1
seciors Ep 2

Clone Wars original 2D. Adigitalman Single film version

L8wrtr’s Ep 3

Solo
Rogue One

SW Revisited
Empire Revisited
Jedi Schorman’s HDTV 2.0

I’d go theatrical 7 and 8 (if there’s an edit of 8 that adds the 3rd challenge with minimal other changes, I’d suggest that.) This is their generation’s Star Wars, and it’s better to let them experience the same as their friends.

Alright, thanks 😃

For the record, I was running into it in MX Player for Android. Hardly an issue to switch it, just at first glance thought it could be a part of one of the HDTV Broadcast rips.

Are the black bars supposed to have occasional credits during the crawl? (AotC, low bitrate).

Edit-Excellent encode and love the subs. Just wasn’t sure if that was on one or multiple HDTV Sources. I don’t remember it being on the DVD but it’s been a long time.

Awesome news 😃

“With my youngling, gentle you must be!!!”

Sounds very good. I would drop the pitch of “do” more

I don’t understand why there’s no entertainment for the Emperor. No personal symphony, no bubble opera… Clearly the fight provides it. But before then, that room looks boring for an Emperor.

On that clip (the first one), drop the pitch of the “er” in “Mother” and “Do”. Also try and stretch “Do”, adding a fade out after adding reverb.

Wowow is based on the bluray mix rather than the DVD mix.

My one curiosity - will you be including a “fixed” dvd mix. If I remember correctly, the surround channels were swapped during portions of the 2004 audio master.

I’ll PM you, but I’d suggest Hal9000’s Episodes 1 and 2 over The Phantom Edit and Attack of the Phantom - they give the same tightened theatrical feel with real title crawls.

I’m really interested in Hal’s Ep 3 edit v6 (previous Hal trilogies weren’t to my taste), but currently Dawn of the Empire from L8wrtr is my go to Ep 3.

Another vote for order A.

Clearly, your project is a huge undertaking and I appreciate the care you’re taking in getting this huge release ready. With that said - this is a question and a nudge I guess. Do you have everything that you’d need for the smaller encode with the hard-coded subs and English/Commentary only? Would you be willing to encode and release those while gathering the remaining materials for your complete Reference quality set?

Never his mind on where he is, what he’s doing…

I always pictured this thread as a more realistic alternative to radical redux, within the bounds of what we’ve seen Ady capable of. Fewer total plot changes, etc.

Watching and waiting. I’m sure I’m not the only one. 😃

I’m planning on releasing these in m4a format, using NERO AAC at quality 1.0

I thought I posted a review somewhere, but it doesn’t look like I did.

For Prisoner of Azkaban, I found two things that need fixing -
The scene following the trip to Hogsmeade. The dialogue from this deleted scene is also used in the following scene, when you can’t see the character’s faces. It’s the same explanation from Ron about all the different shops.

The common room scene after Black attacks includes a conversation about Crookshanks eating Scabbers, so Harry should already know. Later in the film, he asks what’s wrong and Hermione says “Ronald has lost his rat”. I’d just cut the theatrical piece here, and include the rest of the theatrical scene without that part (if there’s enough to keep, I can’t remember.)

Sorry guys, I no longer have access to my original version of this. However, after checking the available Harry Potter extended editions, I found that some of them needed some additional audio work and cutting.

At the least, I intend to put together a version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with fixes (one deleted scene includes dialogue that’s used in the next scene when the characters aren’t on screen, and one deleted scene contradicts one shortly following it - when Harry finds out Scabbers is gone. I believe this is best remedied by cutting the later theatrical scene’s beginning.)

I will also get a slightly smoother cut version of Half Blood Prince out sometime before the end of the year if I can.
