Its Perfect 😍

My only suggestions about the crawl would be:
-maybe a Sith Fleet instead of Imperial Fleet?
-if you decided to leave the Rey Skywalker thing, you could as well use the DOTF title 🤷‍♂️😀

Jedit : are you considering cutting the kiss maybe? ☺️

Guys, did anyone consider doing Rey Solo instead of Rey Skywalker maybe?
Cause from the in universe point of view, it makes more sense. Han Solo was kinda a father mentor figure to her in E7. He brought her to the resistance then he saved her. And she basically inherited the Falcon After His death.
Then, Leia Organa Solo became a mother figure to her. She was her Jedi Master as well.
And of course her dyad in the force, Ben Solo. The Solos were more a family to her than Skywalkers.

Plus it would be a nice pararell to Han Solo. I mean, he was Just Han before some guy came up with the Solo surname.

Here’s a rough idea for changing the music in the final scene, using poppa’s WIP final shot:

Wow its awesome 😮

Maybe guys you could just tease the Rey Killing her parents thing? Like, she tries to stop the transporter and during the process we could hear the small Rey s “come back” in the background, then show some Quick shots from the flashback from TFA and then intercut into Rey s using force lighting? Subtle enough to suggest she killed her parents but not too much, So the viewer can still interpret it as he wants.

HAL, are you planning maybe to do something with the Fleet in this edit? Like, make it not being planet destroying. Or change it into an old sith Fleet of something?

And If I understand correctly, you are gonna keep the kiss moment, arent you?

Thank you!

Also szopman, I’m looking forward to the Maul episodes too! What I’m doing is splitting up the season 4 arc with Asajj and Maul.

So the episode where Dathomir is destroyed will be put onto the end of the Nightsisters arc and the epiosdes where Savage finds and ressurects Maul will open up the Revenge arc.

This will make ‘Revenge’ 2 hours long and a hell of an episode 😄

That could qualify to be a movie format 😈😀

Cant wait to See your work, especially Maul and s5 finale parts 💪🏽

One question, have you considered maybe inserting the classic "Long Time ago… “??

Which music will you use for the ending credit, the one from TCW or the original SW one? 😉

Just some random new idea. What do you guys think, maybe instead of seeing the Luke and Leia s ghosts at the end, we could just insert some flashbacks with Rey and the Skywalkers / OT characters with the closing music theme somehow extended? Or even somehow insert some good moments from all the Saga? The in universe explanation could be that she Just somehow See all those important moments through Force. And maybe the flashback sequence could end with the Twins ghosts as a culmination of the Skywalkers story. Then After a while she responds “Rey Skywalker”. Then it would have more impact I think. Like, all Skywalker Saga Led to this moment.

So after sadly abandoning my Clone Wars epic after a hardware failure, and taking time away from editing, I’ve decided to return to the fold with a fanedit of The Mandalorian Season 1 in the classical Star Wars movie format.

The plan is to produce a single movie of around 2.5 hours, whilst maintaining the character development and story flow.

My first cut is done and is coming in at the 2:45 mark. I’d like it shorter, but at the moment its difficult to see how I can take a chunk out. I’m currently sticking with most of Chapter IV because it allows the Mando-Cara and Mando-Child relationship to develop and is key to the Mando’s motivation to return to Nevarro.

Here is the opening 5 minutes with the classical crawl. I’ve also made a couple of adjustments to the Mando-Grief intro such as removing the “I can only pay half” line.

Enjoy

And here is a Star Wars Episode VII version, for those that don’t like the ST!

Hello there 😉
Im super happy you returned to fanediting the Star Wars stuff.
Would you consider maybe realising a third version without any Episode number? For eg. Just leaving the crawl and all, Just without "Episode… “? 😉

Its a great idea I think 😉

In my opinion, you should try doing something similar to TCW s7e10 opening. Or try doing Solo Type Blue opening and then the logo of TCW, similarly to the mentioned episode.

Szopman,
of course. that makes a bunch of sense. Some of the arcs I’m going to work on are based on my preference (Malevolence, Geonosis, Umbara, Mortis, The Unknown, Sacrifice). I can imagine my edits won’t use the episode format but will be numbered outside of the edit, so the complete viewing order is clear.

This plan will work for both OPTION 1 and OPTION 2. Although I’m currently leaning more over to OPTION 1.

Well, cant wait to See your project then 😉 especially ashoka /maul centered ones

Just one suggetion from my part: you could replace the normal intro reel from the series with the Type of opening crawl that we saw in SOLO.

Great ideas, but I d suggest only one thing here.
Maybe instead of doing “Episodes” format you could guys consider the spinoff/anthology format. Without ep numbers. This Way, people could choose the orde of the films or which one do they want to watch, which ones they prefer to ignore. Everyone of them could be an in dependent story as well as a part of the series 😉

Has anyone considered maybe the possibility of mentioning in the crawl that Kylo Ren is looking for an old forgotten sith Fleet? It would make the whole Fleet idea bit better I think

Kind of a weird, possibly pointless note considering what you’ve set out as your goals, but considering you’re changing the lore anyway, I think leaving Kylo’s ultimate fate ambiguous, i.e. cutting away before he dies is kinda a good idea (thus avoiding repetitive “redeemed bad guy dies instantly after doing good thing” trope, and also not requiring fx to add him to Tatooine or anything like that).

I’m definitely considering alternatives to Ben’s fate, although personally I think cutting away after the kiss and never showing him again may be a step too far in terms of ambiguity.

And a question: are you planning to keep the way Rey defeats Palpatine the same as in the movie: by blocking force lightning with 2 lightsabers? (it’s super dumb)

I with you there, although I can’t really think of any alternative. I’m all ears though if someone comes up with something.

Thoughts, anyone? I understand it may be out of this edit’s scope, but on the other hand to me these elements are nearly as ew as rey palpatine and “Rey Skywalker”, speaking of which, is that final line staying? Changing that goes together with preserving “Rey the nobody”, does it not?

I don’t really see it as contradicting Rey Nobody, in fact I think it works well with it. In either scenario, she’s adopting the name because she’s fulfilling the Skywalker legacy, regardless of her upbringing.

That said, there is a chance, depending on what I do with the final scene, that the moment will be cut anyway.

About the alternatives for Bens fate, have you considered cutting him completely After the moment Rey heals him? Then Rey faces the Emperor by herself, and maybe even dies, or not. Then in the end we can go back to Ben, meeting the vision of His father etc, and closing the movie with reborn Ben Solo, throwing His lightsaber away, leaving is with ambigous bitter sweet ending. Ben Solo came back to light, survived the movie. But what next? He cant go back to the FO, Resistance and the New Republic wont forget nor forgive him His crimes either. Now he has to find a Way to redeem himself and spend the rest of His life trying somehow to repair the evil he has done. Maybe he ll run away on an exile? Maybe he ll rebuild the Jedi order? Maybe he ll fight the remnants of the FO? It would be a nice open ending i think.

Any idea how one can acquire an editable form of these Mandalorian episodes. Not sure I have the patience to wait for the BR release, if it ever comes. I have a D+ subscription.

Back to the gamę? 😀

Maybe you could use some where the flashback from TROS with Leia and Luke training?
It could serve as both an explanation of Leias force abbilities like Flying in space and allusion that she will continue reys training.

Maybe, since in TLJ appear Yoda, and Rey heard voices of Obi and Yoda in TFA, you could add Obiwan and Yoda s ghosts? Or Yoda at least? It would be easier to “cover” Leia s ghost that way 😉

Hi, seems like a good idea for a fanedit, i enjoyed the show, but i dont wanna watch all 8 eps everytime I rewatch the STAR Wars on Blu Ray, So it would be nice to watch it in a 2,5h movie format.

About the title, maybe you could think about using some Old Eu Boba fett novels title?
Like for eg, Hard Merchandise. Or The Mandalorian Armor? I think both would fit and it would be a nice nod to the previous SW material.

Or maybe you could follow the anthology titles format? THE MANDALORIAN:A STAR WARS STORY?

Quick question, will you use “Long Time ago…” at the beginnjng and the classic ending credits?

Here’s my next pass for Kylo on Coruscant, planning on adding a few First Order flags here and there.

Man, your work is amazing. Cant wait to See the edit when it comes out

idir_hh said:

Thanks
The film originally did open with the flashback, it sets up Leia being a jedi as well as subtly emphasising that Luke and Leia are in a way the heart of the film(which was the directors intention) , the planet they trained on is the one Rey is training on, Luke’s search for the wayfinder in the jedi books is the starting point for the crew’s journey, Leia’s involvement in her sons awakening to the light, their lightsabers in the battle against palps and last but not least their ghosts handing Rey the mantle of Skywalker.

That Vader/Kylo fan film could come in to use if needed, maybe a quick flash as Kylo meditates on the helmet, we’ll see.The cantina shots in the Mandalorian will be handy to use also.

These are just concepts and ideas that I’ll be throwing around, if anyone wants to use them, feel free do so.

Okay, the flashback makes sense then.😉
Anout using the fan film, I think that After using it, the part with Vaders voice on the Exegol ("… inside your head") would make more sense even.

idir_hh said:

Soo, here’s my very early stage concept of Lord Ren’s Seat of Power on Coruscant.
https://vimeo.com/402868889
This plays in to my proposed restructuring of the first act of the film.

• Open on Luke and Leia flashback.
• Rey trains
• Falcon arrives
• Palpatines Broadcast. Using reaction shot montage from crew( ala IlFanEditore) and from people around the galaxy ending on Kylo’s face on coruscant.
• Rey has a moment with Leia- end on closup of wayfinder on the page of Jedi Text.
• Kylo and Vader’s helmet - “go to the mustafar system”-“find me”
• Rey and crew depart to search for wayfinder
• Mustafar - Kylo finds wayfinder - Exogol and Palpatines reveal.
• Vader’s Castle - Kylo fixes helmet- goes to Board room meeting
• Film continues as per.(for now)

Wow, sounds great in general.
I Just dont understand why opening a movie with the flashback?

Another idea, did you think maybe about adding this cool well done fan film with Kylo fightimg Vaders spectre? I think it would fit to your vision. Maybe u could insert it at the beggining of the movie. Then at the end of the seqience you add “find me on mustafar”, or add audio from Rots when Palp says “you Will go to mustafar system” 😉 and then, few scenes later you d show Kylo Ren on Mustafar.

During the broadcast sequence, you could maybe add some random shots of ppl from around the Galaxy from other SW properties, like the Mandalorian (you have So many different setting there, like a cantina, Village, prison), ewoks (from TV movies for eg) of even fan films. Like people looking in the sky or listening to the radio 😉

What do you think?

Hello guys 😉

So I’ve been wondering for a while now. We have dozens of fanedits of the movies and series, but has anyone ever thought about doing a fanedit of a Star Wars comic book or a novel?

I think it could be as much fun and even much more simple than editing a movie. I mean, videoediting is like thousand times more difficult.

For example, wouldnt it be nice to edit a Little bit Thrawn Trilogy So it would fit the current Canon movies? Like changing the twins into Ben Solo, fixing the date issues etc.

Or trying to edit a Legacy comic books So it fit TROS ending. For eg. Cade as a grandson of Rey Skywalker. It would explain well the healing abilities and the dark side roots.

Or Dark Empire. I think the part I and II could be easily modify to fit the sequel trilogy (especially the big TROS twist).

What do you think people?

Have anyone thought about doing an edit in which Rey heals Kylo, then we dont See what happens to him. Later he Doesnt show up to help her fighting Lord Sidious. Then, she dies (or lives). And After the battle, the last scene would be Kylo seeing the vision of HAN Solo, then throwing off the lightsaber and that would be the closing scene. Why does work for me? Because, Kylo Doesnt redeem himself, he Doesnt die. We dont know what happens next. He s like, he cant go back to the FO obviously, he cant join the resistance either. But he is Ben again, and we know he will have to figure out somehow how to live, what to do, how to repair all the evil he made. And that would be a great ending to the story. It would leave us with a good open ending.

Maybe you could somehow create an force vision for Luke on TJL shpwing some bits like Rey training, resistance winning the battle, Rey Killing Kylo etc.

BTW, i like the idea of the duology with TLJs open ending.

You could still use Episodes though in my opinion. Maybe you could use T Zahn titles as a nod 😄 lets Say, “the spectre of the past” and “the vision of the future” 😉
