Putting a couple of recent ideas in this thread into action...

LOL! That's great! And you used "Avenge me!" :)

Have you looked into using cutscenes from the Episode III game yet? There are some potentially useful bits. Anakin killing the librarian, Poggle getting squashed by a force pushed door, and Nute running like hell, leaving his allies to die.

The ending where Anakin wins the final duel could be another dream scene.

No...YouTube?

Dooku dialog that's not in the movie?

Anakin takes over a laser cannon...

Anakin loses his library card the hard way...

Poggle gets shown the door...

Nute runs for it...

Obi Wan fail...

I think this little gem (or at least part[s] of it) should be harvested for dialogue.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of that...but where/how/who to use it?  I don't think it fits.

I don't think I have the reaction shots needed to pull that off.

However, as luck would have it, I spent some time on the end of that scene today.  I just may have figured out a way to make Anakin's turn more believable...

You have perfectly destroyed that infamous scene. I think the internal thoughts need to have an echo or reverb though, ala Striker's internal monologue in Airplane!

It took me a minute to realize the censor block on Ani's forehead wasn't a mistake. Brilliant!

I thought about that, but the Hayden dialogue is straight from Awake, and they didn't do any echo or reverb.  Not saying I shouldn't change it, but I think it's okay as-is...but I'm open to other opinions.

Someone on FE.org posted pretty much the exact same thing.  *grin*

As Hayden's internal thoughts don't start until his character in Awake is put under, there's no confusion as to what we're hearing.

It seems to be an old cinematic convention that internal thoughts don't sound like someone speaking out loud. (Unless a character is alone.) The alternative to the old echo gag is making the voices more like speaking softly.

Of course, if someone's been cryogenically frozen, they have no internal monologue anyway! ;)

^Agreed.

Suffice to say, when the dialogue rarely matches the mouth movement in your movie, you have to make a distinction for when it's not supposed to, just so we know what's going on.

That's a good point.  Consider me convinced.

Does this open the door to Anakin hearing what the Jedi council really thinks of the Chosen One? ;)

It opens the door to him hearing what everyone thinks about him, and he's not going to like it.

With Anakin boasting about how his powers have doubled, it actually makes a weird sort of sense he suddenly starts hearing private thoughts. This is going to be good!

The two super battle droids poking around the wrecked Jedi starfighter for some unknown reason, bug me. (What the hell were they looking for, someone hiding under the seat?) Could they be either be conversing with the GPS, or stealing the stereo?

In the scene where Anakin slaughters the separatists, perhaps Nute Gunray could survive the first lightsaber slash, then resume begging. Then as he dies from the second slash, he says his trademark "now there are two of them" line.

Fitting final words?

I like that, will have to see if it's possible however.

I love the GPS idea.
