I never said it was going to be easy. And I know its likely not possible to do perfectly. But I just want to try it.

But as with any kind of edit. Im sure you get what Im saying. How do you cut a scene that isn't needed for anything other than show how a character got to the next scene?

bobgarcia74..I agree. My plan is to create a new crawl and then pan down and have the very first shot be the Trade Federation ships beginning the invasion. Cutting all of the first 10 minutes or so.

Nice work on the video

Ok. Perhaps. I meant it was lacking a house falling on someone specifically.

Anyway. Im currently working on an all-in-one Saga 6 movies in 4 hrs cut. And its just somewhat frustrating to deal with some of the connective tissue that isn't all that important.

Like in the case of A New Hope. If I wanted to make a all-in-one OT 2 hr movie. To get the Droids from the ship to the farm and out to Obi-Wan’s as fast as you can. How do you cut the Jawa stuff and the droids splitting up etc. and have it still make sense of how they ended up with Luke.

I know this is a really basic question. It just seems like that is the key to making fan edits in general. Plenty stuff that isn’t that important, but you need it to get from here to there.

I checked out wookiepedia about force ghosts and Vaders Ghost is apparently unique in that he did not make himself a ghost Obi-wan and Yoda did so he could complete his training, which is the official explaination anyway. So it's Dead Sith to become Dead Jedi with a little help from others.

Maybe we could play With A Little Help From My Friends as Anakin's ghost appears. Though I would suggest we use the Joe Cocker version rather than the Beatles...Otherwise it might come off as a little silly.

Has anyone actually heard of people being confused by Ghost Shaw?

I started tinkering around with a 6 in one edit way back when. Actually before Sith had even come out.  Hoping to do it in 3hrs 59 minutes.

The OT is definitely easier to scale down, because there simply isn't enough stuff. But I have been hung up on the two death star things.

How to have one death star, still have Luke as a pilot. (not completely necessary that he be the one to blow it up) and still have Luke/Vader/Palps sequence work.

Its tricky. And moreso, I really would want to do it without actually changing too much plot. I agree that they could go straight to Hoth after the DS escape with the princess. I actually think they could not even go to the death star. They could get tractor beamed into the Star Destroyer that Vader is still on and is holding Leia Prisoner. Which frankly makes sense. I never liked that Vader is so hard up to get those plans but just takes off back to the DS and trusts loser troops to find them. Maybe he is still nearby on his SD.

One thing I have already done:

Falcon takes off from Hoth into heavy Star Destroyer traffic. Immediately cut to frontal attack and then hiding on the back. Then I edited in their conversation about Bespin and a romance scenes from the cave as if they happened while clinging to the back of the ship. Then they go to Bespin as if nothing is wrong with the Hyperdrive.

My ultimate dream would be to have the Luke/Vader/Palp sequence some how cut out..(I believe rotoscope is the method, though I admit to not knowing how to do that) and added to Emperor's thrown room on Coruscant, which I feel is where it SHOULD be. Kinda thought it would be awesome if the first Vader/Luke conversation about Anakin took place in the Jedi Temple ruins. Thats a whole other thing of course.
