Also, one last thing. I like the recoloring in the “Fatherly Ties” scene, but BOY OH BOY, that dialogue, “Betting on races.” I’ts objectively worse than anything else said in the prequels. Yeah the virgin birth in the PT wasn’t handled well, but this is not how it should be fixed

I don’t want to be a dick, I think it’s just a really dumb sequence of dialogue

That’s not the word “objectively” should be used for. Your opinion is not a fact.

Besides, “Love won’t save you; only my new powers can do that.” is by far the worst thing said in any movie, not even just SW.

I say it somewhat facetiously, but it’s awful dialogue. What you listed was just a dumb stand-alone line said. This is supposed to be an answer to a question asking for a person, but answers with a dependent clause

And did you just imply that your statement is fact? 🤔

No offense, kid, but I don’t think you know how to boil water.

Liamnotneeson: I appreciate the honesty in your opinion, but as stated over at fanedit.org and in the YouTube video example, that dialogue is not finished. Dialogue needed was not created at that time. It was a scene showcasing tone and feel of the movie.

Also, for future criticisms - although in good spirit, I’d appreciate if you tried to maintain polite. Screaming things like worst dialogue ever and far worse than anything else at an unifinished product just comes across as inpolite and cocky. I know it’s probably not meant that way.

No, although I suppose you could interpret it as the same sort of facetious claim it is as your statement.

I suggest you put this in a more polite or constructive manner - and take what you have seen in the context of what this project is - at the stage it is at (unfinished).

I was really upset when it ended. Good job!

The crawl looked like it could use some fine tuning and the Nemoidians have various spelling mistakes, but overall it was fun!

Yeesh that’s dark. I noticed that you didn’t redub JAr Jar, but he sound a little different. Did you make his voice deeper or something? Why? Also, it’s pretty jarring when Qui-Gon says an entire line of dialog offscreen at the end. If you want that to work, you need to at least let us see him say the end of the sentence.

  • Dooku Conversation not done.
  • Pan down not complete (made a quick one only for this preview).

It won’t let me watch it for some reason

It should. Tested it twice… try it on your phone or in a different browser.

Th first 11 minutes looking great so far!
Thanks, brother! Means a lot!

If you go over to fanedit.org and read the threads latest four pages there is a lot of update juice there. I can post some of it here later TODAY.

Very nice, though I should recommend a different colour Mace’s saber. Seeing as he seems to be a very combat dominant Jedi, perhaps give him blue or yellow. Blue means that he is just combatative, less of a scholar, and yellow meets in the middle

This edit looks very intriguing, the dark tone isn’t something one would typically expect from a Star Wars movie but it only makes this edit more unique (so many TPM edits now). Though I do think you went a tad overboard with the darkness in some places, for example the conference room scene where Gunray talks about genocide. It does nothing except add darkness, and after a while it started feeling like a Holocaust reenactment. Also Ric Olie says something right before the Dokou scene, I would cut this because it doesn’t add much and was so fast it made me go back to comprehend what everyone was saying.

The dark tone really makes you appreciate how editing can affect the film’s tone. When you compare this to Frink’s The Ridiculous Menace it’s unrecognizable. I’ve seen comparisons like these for other movies, but for something as heavily edited as TPM it’s very nice to see a fresh take.

He’ll have blue in EP II.

Cheers, brother. The very dark grade is something that is only on the preview video. It’ll be different in the final product, and so will much of the grading.

I really cherish your positive feedback. Thank you so much! I agree on the Ric Ollie line. It might be a little hard to hear. I’ll try to improve it, or remove it all along.

FROM FANEDIT.ORG:

As for The Ancient Lore in and out of itself, all the narrative hard parts are DONE! Things are finally working out, and the main things left to do are rotoscoping, sound effects and color grading (tweaking). This means I’m about 80% finished I guess, and with some math from when I first started this - that means I might have this ready by the end of the summer or autumn.

But that doesn’t calculate all the things that will most likely screw up during rendering - because there ALWAYS is something. Frame overlap, or a color grade that didn’t fit as thought - or a porn video overlapping during the rendering (wait, what?). Who knows!

Does anyone even remotely know what more could be done to help TPM/TAL by this point? Are there any suggestions left? Ideas? I hardly think I will revisit this again, at least not from a narrative standpoint, so it feels like now or never.

Also, I really, really, really want to show some video previews, but then again; I think I’ve showed you guys so much already that if I show more, the surprises might fall short. I think I won’t release anything of great importance anymore up until release, unless - of course - I really feel like I need feedback on something, or something is really, really requested. I don’t know. I like to keep surprises. It makes the viewing experience more entertaining. More fresh.

I will however pick two-three people before a release to preview the full product, to be able to fix things that might have been overlooked or could need some tweaking. Or maybe even simply doesn’t work! >:O But don’t you dare say that, because by that point I won’t give a shit! I will be a firm believer!
