Anyone know the context of this deleted Anakin/Palpatine scene and if it still exists somewhere?

I couldn’t find any reference from the shooting script, however here’s a passage from the novelization that takes place during this sequence:

They moved away, whirring and clanking after the Senators who were already off among the HoloNet crews. Anakin’s
smile faded as he watched them go.
He felt a presence at his shoulder and turned to find Palpatine beside him with a warm smile and a soft word, as he always seemed to be when Anakin was troubled. “What is it, Anakin?” the Chancellor asked kindly. “Something is disturbing you. I can tell.”
Anakin shrugged and gave his head a dismissive shake, embarrassed. “It’s nothing.”
“Anakin, anything that might upset a man such as yourself is certainly something. Let me help.”
“There’s nothing you can do. It’s just-” Anakin nodded after 3PO and R2. “I was just thinking that even after all I’ve done, See-Threepio is still the only person I know who calls me Master.”
“Ah. The Jedi Council.” Palpatine slid an arm around Anakin’s shoulders and gave him a comradely squeeze. “I believe I can be of some use to you in this problem after all.”
“You can?”
“I should be very much surprised if I couldn’t.”
Palpatine’s smile was still warm, but his eyes had gone distant.
“You may have noticed that I have a certain gift,” he murmured, “for getting my way.”

Without doing a full on deepfake, I have been looking for a solid Hayden/Shaw face replacement for Rotj although haven’t really been satisfied. Adding in Hayden’s eyes and some features here and there, however the eyebrows could use some more work.

With eyebrows:

Without:

Original:

It never really dawned to me that Shaw and Hayden actually have more similar facial features with each other than I thought.

Moved to Original Trilogy redux thread

I apologize I should have given more context. For clarity, they wouldn’t fight whatsoever, this is intended to work as an aftermath and a dream sequence. This would of course require alterations to the scene’s environment and perhaps some new shots towards the end with Dooku making his escape.

A proof of concept as to how the scene would play out (without vfx and temp music)

I’ve had this concept in my head for a while, and I thought it would make some interesting character work, where Dooku was the one who murdered Qui-Gon: with Anakin and Obi-Wan watching in shock. Inspired by a flashback scene similar to that of Snooker’s Destroy all Jedi project. I believe this would create a much deeper dynamic for Anakin wanting to have vengeance for Qui-Gon, and strengthen the stakes for his and Dooku’s duel in ROTS. I have a line replacement in mind of Palpatine saying “He murdered Qui-Gon Jinn, and you wanted revenge.”

Digitally replace Jar Jar with James McGill

I could be wrong, but I believe what Filoni is getting at is how Anakin “is the greatest Jedi”.

For what he’s done I wouldn’t call Anakin great in the aspect of moral value, but of his significance in the whole narrative of Star Wars, in the events of what occurred in the lore. That’s how I perceive it anyway.

Snooker a long time ago created a short edit where Qui-Gon was the father. I thought that was pretty neat.

As I’ve been watching Better Call Saul, I got inspired and thought this would be a fun concept experiment placing the Jabba and Han scene from the ANH Special Edition at the beginning of ROTJ. (In the form of a flashback to setup the following events) I felt it would flow better here than it did previously. This also tests for a potential mini series edit.

The Kevin Jamesverse should continue.

I really miss low IQ comedies from the early 2010s. Life hasn’t been the same since.

PMs Sent!

Currently in the works for V2. (Now titled The Mandalorian Season 3: Prelude)

Wanted to smooth out some cuts and janky transitions.

Bump up for anyone interested before S3 comes out

Wondering if Stay (2006) has been released in HD? I can’t find an actual Blu-Ray release.

Interesting! I like!

Inspired by the opening prologue of Terry Brook’s novelization of The Phantom Menace. I wanted to experiment with creating the first race between Anakin and Sebulba, with Anakin losing.

Temp VFX with audio yet to be worked on

My try at executing Pan’s idea.

I had this shower thought about this quote from ANH.

“Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.” - Vader

And now that I think about it I realized Darth was talking shit behind Palpy’s back. It was his idea for the death star in the first place iirc and Vader saying that the force is a more fundamental power, also says I guess that from his perspective Palp’s use of the force is underwhelming.

The Dooku Episodes

I’m really glad how they portrayed Dooku

Intention:
Trims the first five minutes of the film (Animal break-in into lab/“rage” scene)

…And that’s it, that’s the edit.

Send PM if interested.

This is so 70s at it’s core
Like I can imagine Lucas and Coppola filming this in the mid 70s.
Somewhere between THX 1138 and the original SW

Thought I’d experiment a little. Aged up Anakin similar to his appearance in the Kenobi flashbacks.
