I’m confused about that last part, about fan edits.

In the fan-edit part of the website I work on edits of some of the Star Wars movies. My main motivation for editing is attention from other living breathing humans.

I hope you genuinely enjoy it. I don’t see what it has to do with any gender confusion. The people here seem generally willing to treat each other’s personal challenges with respect.

Some people here have lousy political views but your Star Wars enthusiasm and personal characteristics are other matters entirely.

I do genuinely enjoy it, but the attention is a big part of my motivation to continue.

I was just thinking of the whole ‘separating artists from their art’ thing. Sort of like how Tarantino’s an asshole but his movies are masterpieces. I was just thinking that most people hate trans folk. I hope I’m wrong.

Anyways, thank you all for the support! 😃

Oh fuck I might be trans! Fuck!

I might not be though. I might be in denial. Help!

I know that if I come out my friends and family would be supportive, but I’m irrationally scared to do it!

Also, I don’t know about the political opinions of everyone here. I do my fan-edit stuff because I crave attention and I’m scared that that attention will go away!

Edit: in case anybody is reading this, I now realise I’m not actually trans. I was just confused when I wrote this. 👍

Edit 2: ha look at all that denial in edit 1

A Collaborative Star Wars Saga Edit
Time

Here’s a list of changes that I will personally try to include in my eventual prequel trilogy that I think could work in this project:

  • Obi-Wan doesn’t refer to Qui-Gon as ‘master’. In my mind they are both Jedi Knights and equals.

  • Dooku isn’t a sith, rather a fallen Jedi. He has a Blue or Green sword.

  • Darth isn’t used for anyone except Vader.

  • Vader’s name isn’t spoken and his transformation isn’t shown.

  • Anakin and Obi-Wan shouldn’t antagonize each other throughout EP II.

  • Yoda isn’t seen in the Prequel Trilogy until Episode III where he talks to Anakin.

  • The Trade Federation and the Separatists should be one in the same. Perhaps they are the 'Separatist Federation."

  • Neimoidians speak in an alien dialect/don’t speak in a grossly offensive accent.

  • Jar Jar/Gungans are removed entirely from EP I. Jar Jar’s purpose in the plot is to set up the Gungan battle at the end, which we have no emotional attachment to because is is thousands of mindless robots and thousands of unnamed Gungans. I say that everything Gungan related is canned.

  • Less advanced holograms/technology. I mean look at Luke’s room in EP II vs EP IV!

  • Palpatine doesn’t turn into monster mash on screen.

I can’t think of anything else at the moment. Can’t wait to get started!

I like the Hammerhead test. I don’t be know if these would be helpful at all, but I wonder if it’d be helpful if the other ships were all moving at different speeds. They all seem to be moving at the same speed, at least. Like, the ones in the background could be moving a little slower.

Also, this might’ve been discussed before, but I wonder if there could be certain tricks to make them feel more like practical models. For example, I wonder if more contrast between shadows and light would change anything, or frame rate could play any role. Looks cool so far though!

I’ll play around with color correction and contrast and see how it looks. As for the movement speeds, I’ll try that with all shots moving forward. Thank you!

Any thoughts on having U-Wings in the Rebel fleet?

I’ll definately add a few, thank you.

I have gotten back to where I was before in editing!

Here’s a change that I’ve been working on that I would like some help with:

Password: Vader

I feel like 2004 JEJ doesn’t mesh well with 82 JEJ, and I can’t make “the” sound right. Does anybody have any advice? Thanks!

The final ‘e’ of ‘the’ isn’t pronounced enough. You could use another ‘ee’ sound like the end of ‘will be’ and blend it into that section.

Looking at this again, it would help to show a closeup of the docking bay from the outside, like in the original film with the Death Star.

Thanks! I will be doing those.
