The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread
Time

The whole edit is nonlinear, but I’m about to start on the Anakin/Padme romance.

Getting the dialogue right/figuring out exactly how I want this whole thing to go is really draining. The Dex Diner scene is really annoying to try to nail.

I will let you know that I am determined to finish this project, and I won’t let it die.

JEDIT: Next time, you should ask any DAJ-related questions on its thread.

I was actually doing that for my project! Good stuff!

JEDIT: I feel like the dialogue needs more room to breath? And I think you can cut “Back down” “I don’t think so”. There’s too much obvious ‘teleporting’ around the room.

JEDIT II: I also feel like the audience would be thinking ‘how did they get there?’

The Last Jedi: Official Review and Opinions Thread ** SPOILERS **
Time

For anyone who wants to see pure hatred for something:

https://old.reddit.com/r/saltierthancrait/

I really like this movie, and reading some threads over on that Reddit make me feel really uneasy.

Threads such as “Does Rey have any friends?”, “The cinematography in TLJ is overrated”, and the great “All 50+ times Mark Hamill tried to subtly warn us about last jedi/force awakens and bashed Disney”

The Last Jedi- Full Movie Re-Edit

I think that most of us can agree that Rian Johnson performed a monumentally horrendous act in creating this film, which subverts, deconstructs, tears apart, and hangs upside down (before setting it on fire) so many parts of the Star Wars saga that had been built-up with love and respect over the past 40 years

No.

I was watching some of The Last Jedi BTS and seeing how much practical costumes they made for the Canto Bight sequence really surprised me, especially considering how much of it they actually didn’t use in the final cut.

Not a drastic idea, but I think a worthy change would be to cut the slot machine gag with BB-8 and the cgi alien and replace it with various shots from the Canto Bight deleted scene, which is basically just B-roll of random casino guests. So when Finn and Rose start looking for the Codebreaker, instead of seeing the slot machine gag, we see all the weird aliens and shady aristocrats that they see. Cutting the gag would you give you about 20-25 seconds of space if you want to keep the music in sync, which you could use the music-only version of the movie as a source or reference.

Just feel like it would be more useful to expand that environment and help the audience get more immersed in it, much like how the Mos Eisley Cantina shows of various weird patrons, rather than using the time for an unnecessary gag.

Definitely. I was planning on doing something similar in my edit, as well as moving this sequence to the beginning of the movie.

Now THAT’S an interesting idea!

Oh please. Did we criticise Ewoks because of ‘toxic masculinity’? Did we balk at the plotholes created by the prequels because of latent sexism? Did we hate Midichlorians because it threatened the patriarchy? Did we cringe at Padme/Anakin’s romance dialogue because we’re trapped in some selfish power-fantasy? No, these were simply film critiques. Nothing more, nothing less. And despite a few racist/sexist imbeciles on the internet (which are everywhere - it’s not a ‘Star Wars thing’) TLJ is getting exactly the same treatment as every other SW movie. This ‘toxic fandom’ crap is getting old. We should be able, as fans, to discuss potential plotholes and canon discrepancies without being told by some sanctimonious article that we don’t understand the nuances of this brilliant film because we’re secretly struggling with our own deeply held sexism/racism.

Must have hit a little close to the mark to get you all riled up like that.

I guess you don’t know everything about women yet.
