Info: Episode I: The Jedi Incursion (the TM edit)

Episode 1: The Jedi Incursion

Episode 2: Shroud of the Dark Side

Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith

Episode 4: Star Wars

Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back

Episode 6: Return of the Jedi


What I like is that Episode 1 and Episode 6 both have the word “Jedi” in them, book-ending the series.


The only thing I want to commit to doing right now on Episode 1 is replacing all of Jar-Jar’s dialogue with different dialogue, a la the MagnoliaFan edit.

Starting at the beginning, this thread is for rewriting Jar-Jar’s dialogue.   I like when in “Balance of the Force” Jar-Jar takes credit for everything. The idea is that he is arrogant but also lovable and stupid- probably has an Aussie accent although that is not decided yet.

Episode II dialogue is very short:

-I KNOW THAT FACE…OBI-WAN!  HAVEN’T SEEN YOU IN AGES, [MATE]!  NICE BEARD YOU HAVE THERE.  YOUR HIGHNESS…LOOK WHAT THE WOMP RAT DRAGGED IN!

-DON’T WORRY YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEAD ABOUT IT.  WITH A BRILLIANT POLITICAL MIND LIKE MINE IN CHARGE OF THINGS, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

-WE KNOW THE SEPARATISTS ARE PREPARING TO ATTACK THE REPUBLIC!  OUR OWN ARMY IS NOT ENOUGH TO COUNTER THIS ENORMOUS FORCE.  BUT IF WE BESTOW EMERGENCY POWERS ON OUR SUPREME CHANCELLOR PALPATINE, HE <span style=“text-decoration: underline;”>WILL</span> FIND A WAY…TO DEFEND THE REPUBLIC.

Episode II: Shroud of the Dark Side

The Jedi Incursion is an unusual choice of title.

Do they do this in the film?

Well, the idea is that the Jedi are infiltrating the Sith system by confronting and killing Darth Maul.  The existence and whereabouts of the Sith had been very hushed prior to Episode I.  So, the idea is that killing Darth Maul was the main focus of the movie. 

Actually, I just thought it sounded like a catchy title.  Any suggestions are welcome.

Holy shit, that sounds epic. I'm interested.

Some dialogue ideas:

-*when Jar-Jar first meets Qui-Gon*

Jar-Jar: Can I get a "thank you" for saving your life, stranger?

Qui-Gon: Are you brainless?! You almost got us killed!

Jar-Jar: If you'd let me speak...

Qui-Gon: The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here.

Jar-Jar: Listen, all I'm saying is that you're gonna need an experienced survivalist like me out here, if you want to continue living. 

Qui-Gon: That won't be necessary. 

Jar-Jar: Well good luck staying alive without my protection th-....WHAT IS THAT THING?!

Qui-Gon: Stay down!

Jar-Jar: AHHH!!!!

Mission To Naboo is the best I have to offer at this time. 

Episode IV could be The Hidden Fortress.

Shrouds are put on dead things, so Shroud Of The Light Side makes more sense or Cloak Of The Dark Side.

The Shadow Falls was a rumoured title before Attack Of The Clones and that sort of fits.

*right after Obi-Wan arrives*

Jar-Jar: See, now you owe me your life twice over.

Obi-Wan: What's this?

Qui-Gon: A local. Let's get out of here before more droids show up.

Jar-Jar: More?! More did you say?

Jar-Jar: Hey listen, I think we got off on the wrong foot. My name is Jar-Jar Binks, a proud Gungan citizen of Otho City.... 

Qui-Gon: A city?!

Jar-Jar: Yes sir.

Qui-Gon: Can you take us there?

Jar-Jar: Wow buddy, listen I don't know what you thought I was getting at....

Qui-Gon: No?

Jar-Jar: Listen my friend, I'm not supposed to even be talking to you right now. If they Elders found out I was conversing with humans, the repercussions would be terrible!

Qui-Gon: Do you hear that?

Jar-Jar: Yeah...

Qui-Gon: That is the sound of a thousand terrible things heading this way. 

Obi-Wan: If they find us they will crush us, grind us into tiny pieces, and BLAST us into oblivion! 

Jar-Jar: Ah....well, that sounds horrifying. Screw the Elders, this way friends! Hurry!

JAR JAR : That was impressive.

OBI WAN : What's this?

QUI-GON : A local, let's get out of here before more droids show up.

JAR JAR : Hello, STILL HERE! So you propose to leave me on my own, unarmed in the middle of a war, you are worse than the people in the city.

QUI-GON : A city?

JAR JAR: We don't all live in the woods, you know.

QUI-GON : Can you take us there?

JAR JAR : Sorry but no.

QUI-GON : No?

JAR JAR : They don't like outsiders they will probably do terrible things to you.

QUI-GON : Do you hear that?

JAR JAR : Do I look hard of hearing?

QUI-GON : That's the sound of a thousand terrible things heading this way.

OBI-WAN: If  the find us they will crush us, grind us into tiny pieces and blast us into oblivion.

JAR JAR: Well as you put it so melodramatically...

Some of those lines won't work. Jar-Jar says "yeah" how do you stretch that out to "Do I look hard of hearing?"

Redubbing just manipulate the image to make the mouth movements extend to the line (the "Yeah" is rather extended so it shouldn't be too hard to make him say the line fast).

Subtitling don't worry about it, it's an alien language and one syllable could mean all that in an alien language.

One syllable could mean a sentence as specific as that? It just seems rather unlikely. 

Of course, what do I know about fictional alien dialects.

Great- keep this dialogue coming!  I particularly like this exchange:

QUI-GON : Do you hear that?

JAR JAR : Do I look hard of hearing?

That's the kind of witty dialogue we are looking for...
