Synopsis:
I wanted this to be a little different from most film cuts, where a focus way more on Obi-wan and Anakin’s relationship. I’m hoping to incorporate a lot more flash back from Obi-Wan’s perspective. Like whenever some character says something that mirrors something in the PT, there’s a faded audio flash back or even video flash back. For example, his dream on Tatooine (nightmare scene) is being edited currently, and I thought of making it focus much more on Anakin. The dream flashes back from black to dueling scenes. Obi-wan’s reveal is a black screen, with a distorted audio clip of Anakin yelling I HATE YOU and then he wakes up.
Intentions:
I was also going to attempt to do my own version of PixelJoker95’s thunderstorm at the back of the final Obi-wan v Darth Vader duel. It definitely won’t be the same quality, but I hope it will work. This is more of a CONCEPT edit. I do not have the money or equipment to make a fully professionally looking edit, but it will be entertaining nonetheless. I am basing plot line off of Andreas, Patterson, and Spence and Madsilver cuts of the series. Here are some changes I’m hoping to make:
- Re arrange scenes to make them more impactful
- Remove cheesy dialogue
- Add some VFX storms to the Darth Vader/Obi-wan duel
- Add much more flashbacks
- Shorten (but not fully cut) the Leia Chase scene (i really think removing it compeletely throws the paceoff way too much)
- Fix pacing
- and more

EDIT LIST - (I only wrote what my edit includes)
Opening Crawl
KENOBI:
HUNT FOR THE JEDI
Ten years have passed since OBI-WAN left ANAKIN burning in the fires of MUSTAFAR, Imperial INQUISITORS of the GALACTIC EMPIRE scour every planet and every system in search of the long-lost JEDI, the legend known as KENOBI.
KENOBI, convinced his rebellious apprentice is long gone, remains hidden in the deserts of TATOOINE, keeping an eye on the young LUKE SKYWALKER from a distance, as to him, it is his responsibility.
In anguish at the loss of ANAKIN, his brother and friend, KENOBI forsakes the JEDI WAY, undercover as a simple worker on TATOOINE. INQUISITORS work tirelessly in search of him….
ADDED:
Crawl pans down to show a yellow planet (supposed to be Tatooine) Text says “Tatooine”.
SOURCE: Patterson Cut’s drop-down (after crawl reveal), but color graded to become yellow.
Sudden black out into nightmare
First Scene is the Nightmare scene
Changed nightmare so it is primarily about Obi-wan and Anakin,
Added a couple shots to the nightmare of the Mustafar duel in ROTS, and trimmed out scenes with Yoda and Padme from the nightmare, so it is only about Anakin and Obi-wan, with one Qui-Gon shot and a shot of baby Luke. Obi-wan awakes from a part in the dream where Anakin suddenly yells “I HATE YOU (ROTS - Audio only)”
Tatooine Work Scene
Cut straight to first work scene. Shortened by removing two to three shots, shortening Obi-wan’s introduction (needless, since I introduce him in the scene before.)
Cuts to shot of desert transport after Obi-wan walks off after the line “somethin’ you wanna say.”
Shortened desert travel montage (Obi-Wan and Eopie)
Re-saturated and darkened tattoine scenes to give appearance of sunset.
Added Binary Sunset (the suns, not the track) to corner of Skywalker Estate, to appear as if it is sunset, not midday.
Darkened scenes after to appear as night time.
Added temperature to night scenes in Tightime t add yellow-red hue.
