I just finished watchng ADigitalMan’s edit of Revenge of the Sith. While I think this is a much better version of the film, there are two things that really bother me. The dragon that Obiwan rides emits this very annoying “yoop yoop yoop” and never seems to ever shut up. I tend to focus on the sound and it takes away from the fact that it is a very cool creature design. The other things is…Mace’s “pimp” saber. I really dislike the purple, and I know it’s only because Sam badgered George into letting him have it. While fighting Sidious, all I could think was "Wow…the purple really looks bad against the red. I think Mace would look so much better with a blue one.

Any editors out there feeling up to it?

Aslo I’m sure there are other “tweaks” that could be done to make ROTS very enjoyable. Feel free to post any suggestions.

EDIT - After another viewing. It would be nice to have the whole buzz droid scene cut too.

It still disgusts me that GL simply accepted this idiotic plea from that horrible "actor" who can only "play" one role all over and over again (before the prequels, I never even considered I would ever have to see a "tuff gangsta Jedi"...), without giving a damn about the established rule of green/blue... I wonder what would have happened if Christensen turned out to like blue and had asked GL "Hey, George, can Vader's suit be blue in this episode"... would we get an "early" blue Vader, too? :\

Actually, they caught the exchange that created the purple ligtsaber on film. Sam was not at all as bratty as y'all are making him out to be. The exchange went almost exactly like this:

GL: So, what do you want your lightsaber color to be?
SLJ: What colors you got?
GL: Good guys are blue and green. Bad guys are red.
*pause*
SLJ: How about purple?
*pause*
GL: Okay.

That hardly seems like mollycoddling to me. That said, the aesthetic value of a purple lightsaber sells for a loss, if you catch my drift.

while we all wait for another edit of revenge of the sith, I thought I'd use that abridged script recording and put it together with images from the film.

oh bullox the upload failed. I might have it up later if I find a host.

edit: ah It finally uploaded.

That sound doesn't bother me at all, I think it's typically a "Starwarish" sound FX. Oh, and yeah, this creature is really cool!

Concerning lightsaber colors, I really like the EU, and in it, there are a lot of different "good jedi" colors, so, a purple lightsaber doesn't seem strange to me. And even without that EU fact, I think the purple color really fits well with Sam/Mace skin color. Close-ups on Mace and his saber are really beautiful IMO...

Oh, and I've recently heard that Sam Jackson just wanted a purple saber especially to be easily recognized in (AOTC) shots with many jedi (true!)...
