Idea: Alternate ROTJ Ending Concept
Time

For a long time, I’ve wished that we could keep Yub Nub without keeping the “celebrate the looooooooove” ending, while still keeping the galactic tour (for larger-saga reasons). If possible, I also wanted to use the Ewok version of Yub Nub, instead of the chorus.

My little laptop isn’t so great with the video editing, but I’ve done what I could to make the audio for such a sequence. I pretty quickly realized that using the soundtrack versions of everything would mean replacing all the sound effects (crowd noises, including R2, Chewie & Lando), which I’d rather not attempt. But layering the Ewok version of Yub Nub on top of this worked pretty well, with some edits.

I chopped a section out of Victory Celebration, so that the sequence is approximately the right length. The concept is that everything proceeds as it would in the 1983 version of the film, until at some point (unfortunately this has to be music rather than visual driven) we pan up to the sky, see more the stars, and fade/wipe into the galactic tour. Spend a little time here, then return to Endor for Luke & the Ghosts to have a moment. Not sure what to do about that terrible group photo at the end, but I’m just here to work on the audio, not visuals.

If you would like to hear my concept: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3291640/AlternateROTJEnding.mp3 The actual Ewok Party starts just before the minute mark.

If you would like to create the appropriate visuals to go along with this and upload that somewhere, please do! If you’re trying to do this, but require a few adjustments be made to the audio, just let me know and we’ll do it.

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

Although, if I remember right, Slave 1 in AOTC suffers from the same problem as most every other ship in AOTC: They based everything on sounds of propeller planes, and so they're all thrummy. Thrummy is okay, but in AOTC there's too much of it. I wonder if, on the other hand, thrummy would stand out like a sore-thumb in the midst of all the other, non-thrummy sounds of ESB.

Aalenfae's PREQUEL TRILOGY (Heavily delayed - computer exploded)

The problem with larger cuts (and mine are already pretty large for this scene!) is that the scenes are already edited pretty tightly. Cutting larger amounts of material (apart from a few lines and stuff) tends to have the effect of making scenes feel unnaturally short, which is sometimes just as bad as the stupid stuff that was cut. 

There has to be a very fine balance between content and natural flow. If stuff feels cut out, it'll feel like an edit. And I want to avoid the "edited" feeling as much as possible.

This attitude is one of the reasons I've got confidence that your edit will be good.
