Hey guys, first time poster but LONG time reader on these boards. I have been addicted to this site since I ran across Magfan's edits several months ago and have also been keeping up to date on all the edits that are being conducted now. Of course, troopermans edits have the most potential to be very successful in re-interpreting the prequel movies.

I know that the subject has already been discussed but I must clarify that I can't wait to see these movies with more enticing sound and music. I think to successfully make these movies stand up to par with the classic trilory, then the entire scores should be redone. I know that trooperman is doing this with his edit, but even taking what good music was there and turning it up a bit so that it is not soo buried in the audio tracks would have more of a star wars flow to it. It will also help with all the cutting of clips and swapping them around to have the music retracked and flowing smoothly through the newly editted scenes. This I think is going to help all the editting flow into a seamless "new" Episode II. There's actually alot of good acting moments in the prequel trilogy that could be especially punctuated if the music had been more emotional or even up to a decent feeling in the mix. I would also do away with alot of the "spliced" sound mixes that are all over episodes I and II. The jango fight and the arena battle tracks are all soo bouncy that it made everything seem kinda "dopey dopey" and not nearly as dynamic (just my opinion). But anyway, I just wanted to drop myself in and send my support to you guys on these projects.

Also, just to boot up the conversation a bit:
Many of you guys have been "working" with trooperman and have proved that an amazing star wars movie lies beneath Episode II:attack of the clones with a change of music, editting, ADR and some character flow. Now, i think that the same could/ and should be done for episodes I and III. And by that I mean a total overhaul similar to the work being done to Shroud of the Dark Side. I was wondering if anybody had any good ideas on how to change the character development, pacing, music, or even ADR of The Phantom Menace? And although Revenge of the Sith was a very good star wars prequel, I wouldn't show it any mercy either. I have a few ideas popping around my head but was wondering how others on this forum would re-construct Episodes I and III. Thanks for your time fellas and I look forward to taking part in the conversation now.
