Trooperman: That disc was a Target exclusive. I'm not sure they're still stocked at those Targets, either, it might have been a "one time only" type thing.

Also, that cue wasn't totally cut. It's very audible during that sequence, although yes, it is chopped up a fair amount. But it wasn't deleted. The most easy place to spot it is when Anakin is trapped under the droid arm as the chopping machines are closing in on him.

I would be upset about this, but in a previous post you made it clear that you believe all the problems with AOTC can be fixed with the forward button on the remote control.


You shouldn't be upset about it, partially because Chris Lee is known as one of the best swordsmen ever put to screen, but mostly because the fight AS IT WAS SHOT was pretty good--it suffered in the editing. Blame Burtt and Lucas for that one. Also, a lot of the swordfighting was also done by an expert stunt double himself, so either way--criticizing Christopher Lee's swordfighting shows a mild ignorance of the man's history and the history of the movie itself, knowledge that might serve you well if you're going to go about taking the time to re-edit it for yourself.

And if this swordfight bothers you so much, I wonder what you're planning to do with the ANH swordfight, which is technically the WORST swordfight in the movies. Is that getting axed too, or is the well-written dialog (note sarcasm) too great to consider deleting that, considering your reasoning for deleting Dooku and Yoda?

And aside from your idea that your voice acting is better than Christensen's (a notion I seriously doubt, otherwise you'd be getting paid for it) all you're essentially doing is using your own fast forward button, you're just doing it in a computer and tarting it up a little with some Adobe After Effects.
