‘Revising Rogue One’ - by Nando v Movies:-

^ an intriguing video with the idea of 3 suggested cuts to the movie to try and increase the early pacing of the film. It’s a shame they are with Bodhi Rook (played by the talented Riz Ahmed) - yet may make for a impacting introduction for the character, and his place in the mission…
(to bring some mystery and tension with the character - all we know that an Imperial Pilot has defected with some information from Jyn’s father about a new Imperial super weapon… becoming a mystery, can he be trusted? a hero or mole? a traitor or someone trying to do the right thing / makes things right…)
Also with the proposal to cut Vader from the film until the end corridor scene - and why.

^ Loving the enclosed video from Celebration 2017 there - looks like they all had a lot of fun doing that 😃
I have edited the post.
I edited it further.
If you have any issue or problem with this then please send me a PM to discuss the matter further - as not to derail this thread.
the crazy train is rolling full steam ahead… I’ve never seen so many people praise a fanedit so highly. A really sloppy fanedit no less…
‘Professional Film Editors’ seemingly have a low bar for quality these days…
Despite taking over a year to come up with the Edit, and also a considerable amount of money from people to pay himself a wage to do so throughout the process - to profit from IP he does not own - and potentially endangering the Fan Editing community in doing so.
Solely as a member here, just a few possibilities as to why it may be receiving praise - despite it’s apparent lack of quality…
I imagine a few of the people praising it haven’t seen a Fan Edit since The Phantom Edit? 😉 (and likely don’t know of the existence of communities like ours, FE, FR and others.)
There’ll also likely be those who view and cheer his Edit as ‘sticking it to the man’ (or the people who made TLJ / modern Star Wars films, in this case.)
A few may likely in denial about how bad it apparently is (some people who invest a lot of time, effort and money in something - as well as cheering the ideology of it’s goal - may choose to ignore, downplay or see past it’s faults or shortcomings.)
A few shills? Something that has gained traction with the monetisation of videos and blogs - to the point of an income (and other social media; ie fake reviews & fake accounts - and there’ll always be trolls, WUMs and spammers etc online.)
Linking up with other like-minded sites/channels - cue more additional automatic likes or praise for a project sharing a similar cause / ideology. Even more effective when it’s negative based (people like to repeatedly and continually rage or bash on something they deem offensive or unworthy; especially when in groups - more than people do who enjoy things or just find things okay or mixed etc.)
And some, of course, may just enjoy it for what it is… Ivan Ortega’s wallet likely has is?
Alpen, mate - please; STOP. A little patience.
It may take anywhere between a few days or weeks (maybe even even longer) before someone can help you with what you seek. And clogging up the thread and bumping it with requests every minutes will not help.
While some may think you’re a spammer or troll etc - and decide not to help you out.
A little patience can go a long way.
Meanwhile, please take the time to look around the site to get a feel for how it all works…
Firstly, the About and Help sections may be of interest to you regarding this site and what the OriginalTrilogy•com is about.
Secondly, the ’How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com - some info & answers to members’ queries thread should also hopefully be of some help as to many of the functions of the site, along with other related info as well.
Thirdly, the Announcements Section - including Site Rules & Guidelines, Fan Edit & Preservation Rules & FAQ, as well info for Signatures, Linking Policy for Downloads, and Plot Spoiler Policy (and much more) that may be of use too.
If you are having any issues with the site, have a question, an idea to improve the site, or would like to give some feedback - then these can be done in the Feedback Forum and General Assistance sections.
Finally, the self-explanatory An OriginalTrilogy.com timeline thread - a history of the site and why & how it came to be… contains a fair bit of additional info chronicling both the site & also numerous changes made to the Original Trilogy over time.
Thank you.
‘Star Wars Vader Immortal Launches on Rift, Includes Cross-buy with Quest’:-
Star Wars Vader Immortal – Episode 1 arrived on Oculus Quest late last month as a key launch title for the standalone headset. ILMxLab today launched its Star Wars-themed experience on Rift & Rift S.
https://www.roadtovr.com/star-wars-vader-immortal-is-coming-to-rift-june-20th
^ ‘Star Wars Vader Immortal – Episode 1 is now available on the Oculus Store for Rift (S), priced at $10. In addition, Oculus Home now features two collectible light sabers to futz around with.’
‘ILMxLab says it will be available on the Rift platform starting June 20th. Oculus additionally says that it supports cross-buy, meaning if you own it on Quest, you’ll also be able to download it on Rift (S) for free. Star Wars Vader Immortal – Episode 1 normally costs $10.’
Sweet range of covers there, CarboniteSolo, Falle, Mass5160 & Darth Lucas 😃
ALways great ot see the Holiday Special, Ewok films and the various animated series get some covers too!
The Edit is being released this Thursday on his YouTube channel. I have been following Ivan for a long time and have seen clips of his edit, many of his new scenes are quite good.
Well, some of it is, apparently…
(From the end of his ‘The Re-Edit is Done! Tune in on Thursday’ youtube video:-)
“I mean it’s still not completed… because I still er… need to shoot the fight. But as least, y’know… 90% of it - you’ll have. And later on I’ll release the same Edit - but with the fight. Erm… yeah. That’s it.”
If only there was already a thread talking about this movie.
It’s okay to have more than one thread on one release, mate.
The OP seems to want to discuss the high stakes (eg, the fate of the galaxy) at play in the film; in the context of it being the last film of the Saga - ‘where iconic locations and characters are not safe and anything could happen’…
Seems the premise for a potentially decent thread, that 😃
I expect we’ll be seeing a few more threads on TROS - given it’s place as both the final installment of the Sequel Trilogy, and also the Saga itself.
An array of additional informative sources regarding the numerous changes made to the Original Trilogy films over the years has been added to the first post of the first page of this quality, comprehensive and insightful thread (with kind permission of doubleofive).
This thread will be also soon be pinned to the top of the ‘Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases’ section - as the main reference point and discussion thread for the copious changes made to these beloved films.
From doubleofive’s Star Wars Visual Comparison twitter account:-

‘In order to add details into the deep shadows present in the original shot, Vader’s face, chest plate, legs, and right arm were added from another source & tracked onto his body for the DVD. (2004)’…

^ Ha, that was a great fun watch; we’ve likely viewed many of those scenes multiple times over - and never noticed some of the content on that video 😃
Their (the ‘Corridor Crew’) VFX Artist Reveals HOW BIG Star Wars Ships REALLY Are! video was a decent watch too (including the pronunciation for ROTJ 😉)

^ I imagine it’s by someone on here? 😃
^^ What have they done…
Yes! This!
I’d forgotten as well!
Edit: forgot to include the beer label!
Am very much looking forward to meeting up with a few old mates, watching a replay of the Champions League Final, and despite not usually a beer drinker… downing a couple of these…

Following on from a conversation in the What am I drinking [Closed] thread… that I’ve only just recalled!
A new thread for fine beer labels from around the world (or any passable alcohol with a quality or intriguing label on it).
The beer that started this off… 🍺
^ Ichnusa - a quality Italian beer (Sardinia, I think). Lovely chilled beer, with a creamy body to it.
Some weird label here; one that got George Lucas pissed…
‘Imperial Stout Trooper’:-
http://www.ctmuseumquest.com/?page_id=20855 - seems George sent them a cease and desist letter…
'A few years ago, the label was far more Storm Troopery. Somehow, George Lucas got wind of it and as George Lucas likes to do, he issued our best little brewery a cease and desist order. Seriously. It used to hang prominently at the brewery, but the last few times I was down there it had been moved.
So what did NEBCO do? The next time they released the IST, they threw some sunglasses on the Trooper. Brilliant. The next release featured a Groucho Marx nose and eyebrows. Genius. (Note the font is still quite Star Warsy.)
Ok, to the beer. I’ve actually had it several times – always in growlers from the brewery. Black as engine oil and full of malty goodness, the IST holds up to its reputation. This 2012 version is a bit different from the 2011 I remember. I can’t put my finger (or my liver) on it though… it seems like some of the secondary flavors are missing.’
'More Cameos We Want in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’ - from geek.com
^ I hadn’t realised they got Forest Whitaker in to play Saul Gerrera in it - nice one 😃
Would cool to Kyle Katarn feature in another game - as the article lists in their wish-list of cameos.
Seems there won’t be any lopping off limbs of the stormtroopers in the game…
‘Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will only allow for lightsaber dismemberment “in select cases”’ - from GamesRadar.com

Beautiful covers man - you really nailed the worn look for them!
