I’m not sure where to post this as I can’t seem to find any of the old “soundtrack” discussions, but I notice that the new RETURN OF THE JEDI CD release is the original 1983 version (YAY!!!) and I’m wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to compare the sound quality to the old Anthology set and the 2-disc sets?

They certainly need to do something about desert planets rapidly aging people more than 20 years! 😉

I have a idea for a star wars fan edit, where the score is replaced with classical music.

“Get over violence, madness and death? What else is there?”

Also known as Mr. Liquid Jungle.

How old is Padme supposed to be in TPM? I guess Portman was about sixteen while filming but I always interpreted her character to be about 20 at least since she’s the Queen of an entire planet, but if that’s the case then she didn’t age at all in the decade between TPM and AOTC. Plus that makes it all the creepier that she’s romancing an eight-year-old.

There are a few soundtrack and audio discussions listed in the Index for this section of the site - in the ‘Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases’ Index, and in the ‘Star Wars Preservation’ Index too mate 👍

Nice one that it’s the original '83 version 😃

Does she technically “flirt” with Anakin in TPM? I wouldn’t even consider Anakin’s behaviour as being flirty, just really oddly expressed infatuation. Which makes sense for an eight years old kid.

“Are you an angel?”

She was, wasn’t she? I haven’t seen it in a long time, but I recall several scenes that implied that.

I also haven’t seen The Phantom Menace from beginning to end in a long time, but IIRC, Padme never flirts with Anakin, it’s Anakin who had a crush on Padme and does the awkward comments and unwanted catcalls. Which would fit in the typical the-male-character-has-the-iniciative narrative you see in lots of movies, including the pre-Disney Star Wars franchise.

Which scenes then? I don’t remember anything other than her befriending a kid. If it wasn’t for AOTC no one would even question it.

Catcalls? I don’t remember Ani getting creepy in TPM!

I don’t know. I’m probably just remembering it all wrong.

Did she really even befriend him? All I remember is the scene where she makes fun of him for being a slave and he says “I’m a person and my name is Anakin!”

Maybe I remember wrong and there weren’t catcalls, but I do remember the “Are you an angel” line in TPM and the first scene of Anakin and Padme in AotC, which are really creepy.

Yes she did. One example, he’s cold on the starship when flying to Coruscant and she gives him a blanket. He misses his mom and she comforts him.

I’m not sure why you’d bring up AotC since we’re talking about TPM. Most of us agree he’s super creepy in AotC.

She did it in an awkward and romantic way. I found the age difference inappropriate and petitioned for the film to be banned.

Oh God, yeah. “I will do anything you ask,” was the weirdest and creepiest line delivery in the whole PT, I think.

Oh, because in a previous comment I was making a generalization in which I was mentally including AotC. Sorry, I thought we were speaking of AotC too.

Yes, your edits are already threatening to overwrite my memories of the original films. It gets weird when I catch a few minutes of the prequels on tv lately. 😛

I sense a mix of truth and exaggeration in this post.

Regardless, given how long it’s apparently been since you’ve seen the film, you should watch that scene again and see if you actually feel that way or your memory of it is distorted. If the former, I’d argue you’re putting your own interpretation onto a scene that doesn’t contain what you say it does.

Just be glad the Jar Jar makeout scene was cut. 😉

That does bring up a question, aside from the head butting in the prequels getting cut in the UK, have the movies ever had censorship issues elsewhere in the world? I think Luke’s hand getting cut off in ESB was snipped in Norway or something.
