Since Tarantino loves using Samuel L Jackson, why not imply that Windu turns into Vader?

That way you could still have the suit and the Vader hints if you’d like.

I don’t know how that’d be executed, but it sounds lovely!

I also feel like the Vader footage, if it’s present and not implied to be Anakin, would be confusing.

I feel like this movie needs a purpose in the grander Star Wars saga. In a hypothetical universe where this edit was the prequel trilogy we got, what kind of twist could happen that would re-contextualize the Original Trilogy? Some great truth that would be revealed that would make you watch the originals in a new and exciting way?

Perhaps Anakin’s turn is entirely Obi-Wan’s fault, even if he didn’t mean it? Maybe Anakin was doing fine and then Obi-Wan recommended that he talk to Palpatine about something, introducing both of the characters. Palpatine senses potential - maybe his decades long scheme can finally come to fruition with Anakin as his enforcer.

When Obi-Wan confronts Anakin on Mustafar, he pleads for Anakin to return to the good side. Anakin then offers Obi-Wan join him - give him a place in the new Empire. Obi-Wan rejects him.

I don’t know what to do about the twist?

Is the new dialogue good?

I’ve wanted to portray a sense of playfulness among characters. With Obi-Wan and Anakin caring for each other but still quipping. Does the new dialogue achieve this?

And does the chase joke land?

Do you have a preview clip for the chase joke? I think it sounds great. I might even use it myself.

It’s at the end of the second, longer preview.

JEDIT: Are people not watching past the opening credits?

Watching that music video made me feel like I was about to spontaneously combust.

How soon is this gonna come out?

I’m not sure. The actual editing process will be relatively quick. What I’m doing is editing the movie first, adding in music and removing it etc., and then afterwards I will actually write the subtitles. While I’m editing I have an idea in my head about the purpose of each scene and what the characters will be talking about, but the actual writing will be done near the end.

The dialogue is better than the actual prequels. Nice work.

That’s the easy part 😛

JEDIT: Does anybody have any suggestions for the bar scene’s music? I want to have the music be diegetic (actually playing in the world). Keep in mind that I don’t want too many songs in this to just be from Tarantino’s movies.

“The New Dialogue”

Flawless

You liked the preview? My main goal with it is to make Anakin and Obi-Wan seem like genuine friends, did it work?

Also, thanks for all of the name suggestions. I don’t know which one to pick, so we’ll see.

A few weeks ago I watched Darth Lunar’s The Blackened Mantle and it changed the way I look at fan-editing. Not only was it emotionally engaging, it actually made me feel emotions other than boredom!

This was entirely due to the superb Japanese voice acting and the brilliant dialogue changes. This got me thinking, “Why don’t I make my own version of this?”

And so DESTROY ALL JEDI was born!

////////

My list of changes:

Non-linear story structure
This is done both to pay homage to the films of Quentin Tarantino and to provide better flow and emotion to the story. For example: the first scene in the edit is Anakin’s immolation. This sets the tone that this film is a tragedy.

No John Williams score
This is also done in order to achieve a Tarantino-esque feel. I have made sure to match the song to the tone of the scene.

Re-written dialogue
This is done for obvious reasons.

Maybe:

No spoilers!
Vader won’t be named and the suit won’t appear in this movie. Leia won’t be mentioned either.

I want as much criticism as possible! Please tear apart my new dialogue!

This edit will be relatively quick to put together, I just want to slow down and take my time with the dialogue.

Is the new dialogue good?

I’ve wanted to portray a sense of playfulness among characters. With Obi-Wan and Anakin caring for each other but still quipping. Does the new dialogue achieve this?

And does the chase joke land?

I made myself a new profile picture!

It’s taken from this poster I made:

I like to complain about the prequels, but I don’t remember the dialogue and context in the first pic. Was Windu saying the Council would find the identity of Maul, or was he using the plural form in a broad sense to include Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan?

The line immediately before it:

Stop it, you guys are making me blush 😃

I’m glad you guys like it!

Here’s a longer preview: (Remember to turn on subtitles!)

I’ve color-corrected all of it and I’ve rewritten most of the dialogue for better characterization.

If I actually decide to finish this thing I’ll make it its own thread.

I understand that ‘Jedi being hypocrites lead to their downfall’. That’s fine. It’s just that I don’t care about the Jedi in the first place- so I can’t care about their downfall.

What I look for in a movie is likable characters. I like Luke Skywalker, I like Han Solo, and I like Leia Organa.

You know what trio I don’t give two shits about? Anakin, Padme, and prequel Obi-Wan!

Every scene in that trilogy is the worst because I don’t like the characters and I don’t care if they succeed. I don’t even know what Obi-Wan wants! He doesn’t have an arc in the prequels! In TPM he tells Qui-Gon to be more boring so that he could be on the council. In AOTC he fights with Anakin the whole movie, talking about how arrogant he is. And in ROTS Obi-Wan barely considers bringing Anakin back to the good side. He feels bad about it, sure, but he has no reservations telling Yoda to kill him instead!

“And he was a good friend” my ass.

Anakin, our protagonist, isn’t relatable in any way! He’s an annoying little boy in TPM, he’s a weirdo sex-pervert in AOTC, and he’s a bipolar maniac in ROTS! He doesn’t have a fall from grace in my mind because we never see him in a likable state!

Padme’s just boring. I don’t care about negotiating support in the senate. I don’t care about “fixing up the baby’s room on Naboo”. Nothing that character does ever matters, especially in ROTS. She just sits and talks and dies. The only reason George had her in the movies is because Luke and Leia had to have a mommy.

The droid conveyor belt scene could have been fine if I cared about the characters (and if it wasn’t just a last-minute thought.)

Star Wars Special Edition 2011 : Official Blu-Ray

This is my favorite fan-edit/preservation.

Yep. Had to foley the whole thing. Thanks for the encouragement!

Here’s a hypothetical opening to a Tarantino/Japanese inspired 3-in-1:

I stole the dialogue from The Blackened Mantle.

Didn’t you know that all gay people are HIV positive?

Jedit: Whenever I get a physical at my doctor there’s a little questionnaire you’ve got to fill out and one of the questions is “Have you ever felt any homosexual thoughts” or something to that effect.

^ The audio-book is better. Bruce Campbell’s voice makes everything better.

“Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Imabadguy the wise?”

It was an international dick-measuring contest.

Episode II looks like plastic.

• the look. After seeing a trilogy filled with green screen footage poorly composited over CGI backgrounds it was a PLEASURE to watch real sets, real locations, real props etc.

You do realize practically all the backgrounds that are composited into the Prequels are miniatures.

That doesn’t make them look any better.
