Star Wars: Rise of the Rebellion - A Rogue One Edit
Featured Hot
This edit is intended to clean up the few subjective mishaps in the film and present a narrative that isn't merely trying to be Star Wars, but IS. My main objectives were to add a crawl, remove planet cards, rescore certain scenes (with EU and Giacchino cues) make Chirrut less Kung Fu, Bodhi slightly calmer and more confident, making Cassian's demons internal and reducing Saw to a Lor San Tekka-Esque character.

- MP4/M4V/MOV
- Special Thanks
- Custom Crawl (this will be my Episode III of the prequel trilogy, so it indicates that)

- Color corrected Tarkin's skin tones
- Color corrected Vader's eyes when he is watching the Rebel fleet be massacred
- Trimmed Vader's awkward hand gesture of choking rebel soldier and then motioning to fling him to the side. (it just looks too fan filmy for me)
- Color corrected Leia's skin tones
- Fixed audio volume transition into credits
- Added custom edited/fanedited credits
- Added grouped name credits to shorten credits and have them end on the the musical finale (the original doesn't for some reason)

When I saw Rogue One in the theater, I was a bit bored with it. Thought the pacing was off, being slow, and there were a few pointless characters. Everything I disliked about the film has been fixed, and I found the pacing very much improved. DigModiFicaTion edit is what should have been shown in the theaters.

Rouge One is probably up there as one of my favorite SW movie. However, I always found the pacing was off in the first 20 mins. The movie is all over the place as there is a lot of jumping around to different scenes. There are not a huge amount of changes in this edit but it definitely improves the pacing of the first 20 mins and it flows a lot better. I also like the fact we don't see Saw Gerrera at the beginning of the film and it is kept a mystery how Jyn was rescued. Overall, a very good edit that is worth watch and will be my go to Version of Rouge One.

When i saw Rogue one in theaters i absolulty loved it but this edit improves on things i didn't know could be improved.
I really like the changes to the introduction of Saw Bodhi and Cassian.
The color correction on Tarkin and Leia make them look much better.
The only thing i didn't like with this edit is the removal of R2D2 C-3PO and Chopper
I would highly recommend this edit because of the improvements to a already great movie.

A very recommended edit indeed! I quite liked the the theatrical release, but this is fanedit far superior. The cuts were seamless and helped improve issues in the narrative that bothered me - first and foremost the numerous and annoying scenes involving Forrest Whitaker. Thank you so much, DigModiFicaTion, for taking the time to create this wonderful fanedit.
Additionally, as others commented before me, the visual and audio editing are superb, and in some places even better than in the theatrical release (e.g., Tarkin and Leia).
