Oh my GOD
Oh my GOD
Idea: place Poe’s “can we kiss?” line during the final celebration when he’s embracing with Finn.
If the shot’s not long enough I remember a much longer alternate take/different angle existing in the documentary.
For the record I am desparate for these two characters to be in love because I desperately want to see people like me on the big screen for longer than one second.
I found time to watch the workprint and dang!! It’s infinitely more watchable than the theatrical release! While I would have personally made much more radical changes, all of these existing changes compound into a very wonderful edit! I agree with most criticisms I’ve seen so I won’t repeat any! I can’t wait to see the edit become even greater!
Lovely work! Immensely proud of everyone! 💕
I’m so proud to have contributed to such a lovely project! : )
Fantastic work everyone! It’s been a blast!
I absolutely adore this!!
Oh my goodness I love this!! Good work !
THAT’S SO GOOD OH MY GOD
Fantastic post!!
LMAO
Reading the Empire as an allegory for the United States during the Vietnam War, having women as Stormtroopers in the First Order makes total sense.
The allegories for fascism are very very clear, but most modern iterations are more subtle about disregarding women and other minorities. “Women are in our movement therefore the our fascist group cannot be inherently bigoted!”
Even though I don’t think there’s much genuine intentional political commentary in the Disney-era films, I do think it improves them to read them allegoricaly.
TLDR: I wouldn’t agree with the choice to remove women-voiced stormtroopers
edit: nevermind
It is pandering but it’s pretty harmless so cutting it seems pretty extreme and a little yikes.
I’m still mad that Finn and Poe didn’t end up smooching at the end.
There are so many things in this world that I would rather you donate to lol.
❤❤❤
Thank you, everyone, for your very kind words !!
I don’t plan on becoming inactive, don’t worry !
❤❤❤
The computer I’ve been using for the past few years is entirely busted. All announced work is cancelled. I will be unable to help with anyone’s future edits.
Thank you for understanding ❤

I can definitely try.
There is precedent already in the Star Wars canon for planets to be totally habitable post-cataclysm like that.
It’s funny that the communitys ideas are to add fan service rather than remove it lmao. Things have changed since TFA for sure
The ‘Estrogen’ cut of TRoS
Maybe establishing Chewie chess shot -> sandcrawler shot -> shot of poe and finn staring at Chewie?
I really don’t want to lose Rey walking down the ramp with everyone yelling in the background
I really hate to lose Klaud, though 😞
Wow! That works very well!!
I’m very happy with all the feedback ❤❤❤
I’ll definitely tweak it a bit and maybe try to include Rose yelling “Finn” or something as everyone starts talking over eachother. Some R2 cheeps and a 3P0 “Goodness!” too, maybe : )
EDIT: Also wanted to mention that I REALLY appreciate the title of that video clip.
These fellas are kinda close ngl 😳😳😳
EDIT: Also, I love where your head is at with the Snoke idea! Lovely stuff!
Because I’m a stinky nerd who watched Clone Wars and Rebels, i wasn’t too shocked
It was fun hearing a guy in the audience yell “WHAT?” though
ooooooooooo
I’m so mad at how horribly she was treated > : (
