My goal was actually to mock the existence of this thing, though I think I framed my thread as a more serious warning than I intended.
Don't give money to the last Jedi remake projects

You certainly did
Star Wars episode titles all hark back to the classic Saturday-afternoon serials that originally inspired Lucas; serials that made for a fun diversion but really weren't any good.

I linked that like 2 posts above yours lol
There are some fanedit projects in development that delete, recut and reformat parts of the movie, that should be a *dramatic* improvement from the theater cut.
There is always one...
But they're usually one person's or a small group's passion project that they devote themselves to. Not people begging for money to make it.
That said, a fool and his money are soon parted.
I have seen a ton of fanedits that improve the original product, including a perfect cut of Final Frontier, and Prometheus, and the cleanest cut of A New Hope that has ever existed. I'm not endorsing this money grab nor "remake" idea, but there are definitely fanedits in the pipeline for the Last Jedi that I am *greatly* looking forward to.
I quite liked The Last Emperor.
we can call that the exception which proves the rule.I quite liked The Last Emperor.
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade is pretty good too.
Wow. I would totally believe that some pissed off fans somewhere would try to crowdsource some fan film that's "The movie THEY wanted". Claiming the director is the one behind it, did anyone actually fall for this?
No love for "The Last of the Mohicans?"I quite liked The Last Emperor.
It's like the recuts of Phantom Menace. If the underlying script is bad no amount of recutting will fix it because all you can do is take things away and move them around a bit.
Probably, a lot of these people are pretty delusional.
