Synopsis:
“Star Wars: Renascent” is the first of a three-film fan-edit which tells story of Luke and Anakin Skywalker, simultaneously. The three films will mainly follow the storyline of the Original Trilogy and will have flashbacks to the Prequel Trilogy. It will feature new scenes, altered story lines, and will also feature some new music, which is why it’s a rebirth or a Renascence. This project was first started by two other fan-editors and it is being edited off of the DVD release of the Prequel Trilogy and adywan’s edits of the Original Trilogy.
Intentions:
The first film in the ten-hour epic follows Luke Skywalker as he first steps off Tatooine and into the world of the Force to become a Jedi while contrasting his father, Anakin Skywalker’s early life and the beginning of the legendary Clone Wars.
Change List:
There are hundreds of cuts, insertions and changes to these films, including (but not limited to) Leia kissing Luke, Han and Chewie’s run-in with the Storm Troopers, the entire Kamino subplot from AOTC, love scenes have been condensed into a montage, the celebration scene from SW and the wedding from AOTC were also cut.
Additional Notes:
The edit will have scenes flashing back and forth in vectors contrasting similar scenes based on events and emotions. Some scenes will be slowed down to enhance their emotional impact.
Special Thanks:
All of the posters over at the OT forums who helped make this edit what it is. (You know who you are! :)
