Casting calls for fandubs
Time

The Edits / projects which have required a casting call for voiceover work have usually been made in their own project thread - as far as I know there is no separate specific place to post them.

Sometimes a project editor may have temporarily changed their thread title to include ‘Casting Call - Voice Actors required for project’ or something similar, or with an update etc - that may be worth trying.

Or maybe starting a general ‘Request for Voiceover talent’ thread that many of the Editors on here could use if they so need?
 
Good luck with it man 😃

A couple of neat takes on the Y-Wing design…

and as Colin Cantwell posted on here earlier this week with some of his great iconic designs…

^ Would have loved to have seen one of these in the Solo movie (as was planned at one stage).

its all about GroupThink. People feel more empowered when they can band together and point their finger at a common “enemy”.

I enjoy the Star Wars I like, dismiss the Star Wars’s I don’t, and ignore all the hate and vitriol online.

You fool! You’ll never get enough subscribers / monetise content / achieve ‘youtube fame & power’ with this attitude 😉

You must put out repetitive negative output - regardless of facts, research or balance. Misleading clickbait alongside anger & outrage, keywords and phrases which will trigger comments and ‘debate’, creating and continually highlighting differences between ‘them and us’ and gain like-minded followers… these aspects are all far more important anyway!

Be the vocally toxic / repeatedly negative online minority!

(that few outside of youtube or associated social media channels & blogs have like heard of 😉 )

 

SWOTFAN25 - Seriously (just for a moment)… there are some great, intriguing, informative, insightful and fun sites, blogs, podcasts and video channels etc out there - to cater for many tastes and outlooks - though probably won’t be appearing in many youtube ‘recommendations’ lists.

These days it seems the old ways of a fellow fan recommending something (like Neverar has above with sleemo.com - cheers man 😃) is the way forward for finding quality outlets that may appeal - if not for yourself, then for a friend or colleague who may be interested etc. Screams has an ‘internet rabbit holes’ thread which may be interest to some for this type of thing, as well as the ‘FAQ & Info links’ section of the ‘An Index Thread for General Star Wars Discussion’ thread.
 

It’s just anecdotal… though for me and other mates who are sci-fi fans… our non-youtubing, browse-the-internet-occasionally friends and colleagues - who may have a facebook page still to upload dog/kid pics… have little-to-no idea about online divisions in Trek, or Star Wars, or GamerGate, or Comicgate, or whatever else people are angry about their entertainment.

They’re likely just looking for the next Trek / SW / Marvel / new or hyped franchise content - will go watch it, probably enjoy it overall and go to the next one - all without registering their views online (well, maybe an 'I liked it, ‘it was okay’ or ‘didn’t enjoy it’ type post).

BlacKkKlansman - with Ron Stallworth & Adam Driver.

‘Ron Stallworth, an African American police officer from Colorado Springs, CO, successfully manages to infiltrate the local Ku Klux Klan branch with the help of a Jewish surrogate who eventually becomes its leader. Based on actual events.’

IMDB

Just read it’s up for 6 Oscars - fair play and well in to Adam Driver for his ‘Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role’ nomination. (amongst the film’s other award wins and nominations).

Info: TLJ - Caretaker village sequence
Time

I think someone did restore most, if not all, the deleted scenes back into the film for their Edit (possibly a few Editors did?) - though can’t recall which… doh!

There is a section for TLJ Fan Edits (around 20 so far) in the An Index Thread for Star Wars Fan Edits and Other Projects - hopefully the ‘Rey & The Caretaker Village’ scene will be mentioned in one of the cutlists / ideas lists (or someone else can remember which Edit(s) contain it.

Good luck man 😃
 

Edit: This Edit has the Caretaker Village scene restored to it - STAR WARS: Last Jedi (The Anti-Cringe-Cut), by DonKamillo; in the ‘Added’ section - ‘Deleted scene showing Luke’s third lesson to Rey (involving the island natives)’.
 

Double Edit: ForceGhostRecon’s The Last Jedi - Clean Cut edition also has the Caretaker Village Scene in it (or will have for v4).
 

Some other TLJ Edits may also have it too.

Last web series/tv show seen
Time

‘A hapless UN employee discovers the agency he works for is hiding a gateway to a parallel dimension that’s in Cold War with our own, and where his other self is a top spy. The war slowly heats up thanks to spies from both sides.’

Website : IMDB : Wikipedia
 

Some impressively absorbing tv, quality actors, direction, and premise - with atmospheric scenes slowly building up tension that ensnares you into it’s grip.

A seriously underrated series.

Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *
Time

The Telegraph has a few intriguing tidbits from their interview with Richard E Grand and his appearance in IX (amongst other things)…

SPOILERS

"I got 10 pages of script from a Forties British war film, three scenes in total, and had to video myself doing them on an iPad. Then you send it off, and feel like you’re never going to hear anything about it ever again. I got a call two months later to say a car was going to pick me up and take me to Pinewood Studios to meet director, JJ Abrams. Which was odd, because I still had no idea what he was going to direct me as."When Grant arrived he was ushered into a room with Abrams and the new trilogy’s heroine, Daisy Ridley: "Surrounded by all this Star Wars memorabilia going back to 1977. And within about two seconds, he said, ‘Are you gonna do it or not?’ And I said, ‘Do what?’ Then he described the part, and I think he told me what my name was, at which point the room went upside down. What what appears to be a degree of physical discomfort, Grant stops himself from saying anything more. In the grand old Star Wars tradition, the entire cast has been sworn to secrecy, at least untill the trailer and title of the forthcoming Episode IX are revealed in April.

the non-spoilery bit claims… ‘at least until the trailer and title of the forthcoming Episode IX are revealed in April’.

The Last Jedi- Full Movie Re-Edit
Time

zflei005 said:

Hey Ivan love your Chanel and what you’ve done to the last Jedi. I’d love a link to it if possible. Keep it up man. You’re a real inspiration!

There are 20 or so Fan Edits of The Last Jedi already finished and released just on this site alone (see the Star Wars Fan Edit and Other Projects Index and scroll down to the ‘The Last Jedi’ section).

Many of these Edits on here already cover some of the changes proposed by Ivan - and some of these Edits have a lot more changes too, whilst other Edits quite conservative in their changes. All Edits on here are available for free - without having to pay anyone a cent - as long as you own the official blu ray or digital download, of course.

As for conversing with Ivan - you’d likely be better off visiting him on YouTube - he only made a couple of posts here seemingly to highlight his work, then left, and then made a YouTube video about it with some strange/bizarre claims… that’s pretty much been it.
