Got 'em there! :p
 
Cross-posting this here from the Obi-Wan series thread:

I'm not even keeping up with that series (I might catch up when it's done, but right now I'm both too busy and not nearly stoked enough to dedicate time to a mediocre series). Nevertheless, I'm impressed with what fans can do. Without going into spoilers, I gather that the series has one or more flash-backs. I've seen a clip of a flashback set during AotC... in which they apparently didn't even bother to de-age Hayden Christensen. (Or if they did, it was a shit effort).

A fan has edited the clip, doing very good de-aging work, plus some other edits, and has inserted it into the sequence of scenes in AotC. It looks a million times better than what the series originally gave us. I've put it below a spoiler cut, just in case anyone hasn't caught up with the series yet & doesn't want any spoilers.



Not only has it been edited into AotC (a version with the deleted scenes, no less), and not only has the de-aging been done on an impressive level... the fight choreography has also been edited, much improving the overall quality.

I don't care much for the Obi-Wan series, but I'd happily consider an AotC fan-edit with this edited scene in it to be my "preferred version" of the film.
 
I mean, the show pretty much shows what we expect from non Sith force users.
What ever it takes to win.

I literally don't see how this changes anything about what we already know in universem

Honestly stuff like this just takes away any excuse the people making the show might come up with, and just illustrates the difference that can be made when the person or persons making something actually cares about what they're making.

the vader vs kenobi scene apparently looks like shit, from what i've heard.

the fan-made SC 38 is over 9000 times better and I watch it for inspiration every time I write my Star Wars fanfiction
 
My understanding as to why movie CGI usually looks so crappy is that usually the CGI work is auctioned off, and the lowest bidding company wins the contract. The effects companies are constantly taking in jobs and trying to get them done ASAP. So basically the system reward companies doing the lowest effort job to get a passing grade, rather than doing their best. Ofcourse, this disregards other problems with CGI, such as difficulties in getting the lighting and compositing to work, overabundance of CGI, etc.
 


So we now have a list of 16 known Jedi survivors who came through the 'Path' network.

1) Eno Cordoba, of Jedi Fallen Order Fame; surprised he survived Order 66, but he was likely far out of the fighting when it happened.

2) Cere Junda, Cordoba's apprentice from Jedi Fallen Order.

3) Rom Kota, of the Force Unleashed Fame

4) Fable Astin, from the old 'Star Wars Adventure Journal'

5) Corvin Shervay, from the same West End games material as Astin

6) Drun Cairnwick, also from a West End game book

7) Qu Ran, who was part of the Jedi Acadmey/Kyle Katarn stuff and guided him to the Valley of the Jedi.

8) Djinn Altis, from the Karin Traviss Clone Wars books.

9) Tiberus Anderlock, from Star Wars Galaxies

10) Valin Halcyon, aka Hal Horn, Corran Horn's father from Legends canon.

11) Nichos Marr, from the Children of the Jedi book

12) Roganda Ismaren, who was also part of the Children of the Jedi book, and ended up a chopped up corpse in the NJO.

13) Drake Lo'gann, from a webstrip comic from StarWars.com

14) Zonder, a Selonian Jedi from the same webcomic as Lo'gann; briefly was Bariss Offee's apprentice.

15) Ekria, from the same webcomic as Lo'gann and Zonder

16) A 'Henry', which may be an easter egg referencing a couple different people who have worked on Star Wars properties.

You know what I would really want in 10 years after the Sequel Trilogy that I will pretend never happened. I would want Ezra Bridger, Cal Kestis and Ashoka Tano making a lightside Force Order. Something that are not Jedi per say but are definitely Light Side force Users. A successor order to the Jedi.
 
Another "niche" question, but I wonder what a Sith version of Master Windu might look like? Mace has shown signs that he'd have made a formidable darksider in another life, and as I understand it, he skirted awfully "close" to it whenever employing Vaapad, albeit by channeling his passion and enjoyment of a good fight in service of the Light (and ultimately, thrived where Anakin succumbed). Still, in a Galaxy where he fell and joined the Sith, it'd be fascinating (and terrifying) to see "Darth Windu" in action, lack of a more apropos Sith title notwithstanding. :unsure:

Another key difference between Anakin and Mace is that while Mace did struggle with attachment too, he grew attached to the institution of the Republic. "Darth Windu" would likely share this same ideological bent, making him probably a character not unlike Darth Malgus from SWTOR.
