Not really, sorry 😦.

Idea:

End Revenge of the Sith with the birth of the twins (implied to be on the blockade runner), and end with the runner jumping into hyperspace/flying in hyperspace.

I don’t hate the binary sunset ending, but it’s the most obvious conclusion to the movie imaginable. This idea leaves a little more open to the imagination. It would also be fun to end one movie with the blockade runner and open the next with it.

Maybe even have the Blockade runner on Dagobah while Padmé gives birth, helping add some lore to Luke’s ‘this place seems farmiliar’ line in Empire.

JEDIT: I’ll make a mock-up of this later.

It’s actually pretty smart as the vast majority of the content out there now is pure garbage.

One billion views!?!?

How about these Game Awards, huh?

Here’s the opening of my Phantom Menace edit:

https://youtu.be/aAOsOddfx_M

It includes:

An entirely new opening shot.

Early introduction of Amidala.

A short skirmish to protect Theed.

Nute and Rune’s new voices.

Very nice!

Indeed. The opening shot is very similar to what I suggested many moons ago. Though I would have the federation ships looming large in shot and have the Queen on Coruscant talking via hologram rather than Palpatine. That way the story is linear. She need to get home to save her people. Rather than darting back and forth.

Welcome back!

I don’t know if Frink is gonna get back to you on that one, buddy.

The best part of Phantom Menace is the royalty free children laughing sound effects. You can’t argue with me. You know I’m right.

Love, Simon (2018)

A movie about gay men written by a straight woman for a straight general audience. Its pandering to the teenage demographic is laughably out of date (impact font memes!? The use of the word ‘epic’) and it was insanely clear that the writers weren’t LGBT+. This movie severely disappointed me. The plot revolves around blackmail, and has the horrible cliches that go with it. As soon as I noticed a pattern I knew exactly where this movie was going. The script was definately the weakest part. The soundtrack was fine and the acting was alright.

After reading some online reviews, I feel like an asshole for not liking it.

3/10

You catch on pretty quick.

That’s awesome. I will look into doing that. Thank you!

I was afraid that it would seem too fast with the constant cutting, but I’m glad to see I’m wrong.

Are there any issues with the opening shot? Is the framing off?

The CG planet looks gross and the ships look like plastic. Also, the flow of the scene works just fine without it.

Starting Phantom Menace with the invasion. Getting the movie to the point.

I think having the Jedi’s entrance be them rescuing the Queen in Theed is more effective than them being negotiators.

“First of all we never thought of Bush ever becoming president,” “Star Wars” producer Rick McCallum said, “or then 9/11, the Patriot Act, war, weapons of mass destruction. Then suddenly you realize, Oh, my God, there's something happening that looks like we're almost prescient.' And then we thought,Well, yeah, but he’ll never make it to the second term, so we’ll look like we just made some wacky political parody of a guy that everybody’s forgotten.’”

“No matter who you look at in history, the story is always the same,” Lucas said. “That’s what’s eerie. It was a little eerie that things have developed the way they have.”

McCallum was willing to make one prediction: “There’s no question that the French are going to love the movie. We are definitely going to get the Golden Freedom Fry Award for best movie of the year, because they’ll see it exactly the way they see their relationship with us now.”

Here’s the HUGE gamble Disney is making:

Right now, the only thing I’m really looking forward to regarding Star Wars is Rian Johnson’s SW Trilogy, after all Johnson has earned my full trust with TLJ. I wish I could say I’m looking forward to The Mandalorian, but I don’t have Disney+.

Can anyone create a whole new SW experience that is still , … well, Star Wars?

There is no guarantee of success. Will mediocrity be enough? It’s the only way the film franchise can continue long-term so they’ll invest hugely in this while exploiting all other avenues to milk the franchise (TV, theme parks, comics, etc.).

Oh, in my opinion Rian Johnson is the wrong guy to do this next piece of work given the divisive reaction to his only entry. Need a uniter rather than someone always looking to subvert expectations.

I don’t get why TLJ is so divisive.

TFA was such a huge letdown I had no expectations in regards to the following episode, and in fact I fully expected TLJ to be a remake of TESB in the same way TFA is a remake of the first SW. Once a friend confirmed it wasn’t like that I was genuinely excited, went to see the movie, and once the credits started rolling, left the cinema with a sense of euphoria.

I don’t think Johnson was trying to subvert expectations, he was trying to come up with the best story he could write and direct, which he did brilliantly.

I don’t get why some people have such strong feelings against TFA. Yes, it hits almost the exact same plot points as Star Wars(blowing up a third Death Star was especially annoying). But since when has Star Wars been about super intricate and interesting plots?

The heart of Star Wars is in its characters and the drama that comes from their interactions. TFA succeeded marvelously at this; creating drama, emotion and fun new characters courtesy of spectacular performances from previously unknown actors. Yes, the plot is derivative, but it’s also almost irrelevant.

Lucasfilm effectively Trotsky’d that shot. The only slip through the mainstream cracks has been Han vs. Greedo.

Dooku looks on, this time in video form!

I’m incredibly happy with my roto work and compositing. Using some new techniques, such as atmospheric fog, help sell that Dooku is ‘actually there’.

Sheepish is back with video updates!

Thank you!

I feel like the choking scene is the best part of the fight, though. It would be incredibly easy to cut around, but I feel like that’s the only part of the actual fight where there’s pure, raw emotion.

Exactly.
