I’d love for SirRidley to make a version of the crawls with the actual titles if possible. Would be cool to have both versions for those who prefer the original titles.

I’ll consider it! Others have asked for that as well. I doubt Hal would make a separate edition of the films just to change a few words, but maybe he could have the crawls with original titles as separate downloads that could be edited into the films by those who want them.

I respect Hal’s right to title his own films how he rights, but selfishly I’d love to be able to trick my daughter into thinking that Hal’s are the versions as originally released.

The above link isn’t working. I’ve just listened to the previous clips and it is pretty hard going from nature to R2. I think your above link is the line without R2, I bet that would solve the issue.

“Because you are a PalpaWalker?”

It is better with the removal of R2 at the end since it isn’t so rushed.

It may not sound too bad without the added word at the end.

Not terrible, maybe trim the extraneous sound 3PO makes after “nature” if possible, and then I’d also suggest cutting the end of the shot by a few frames as it seems to linger awkwardly for a beat there without the additional word.

^^^ Good point Dom, watched it a few times and agree it does have an awkward lingering since there isn’t a further line or word. Shortening it up some frames will do the trick.

Also, side note, which is probably just me, but does the way 3PO say “nature” sound kind of off or different? I can’t put my finger on it, but something feels a bit off about it.

But hey, that’s just me and I agree with Dom’s suggestion above.

I think this sounds the best of all the options so far. Dom’s suggestion is good but I think it works just fine as is, too.

I don’t have an issue with the way he says “nature” myself, but that might just be that it sounds way more natural than adding “Artoo” at the end did.

OK, it may only be me but 3PO speaks so quickly I can’t entirely make out what he’s saying:
“I have never…something…mission…something…that nature.” That’s all I understand.

Yeah, me neither. You got more out of it than me though.

Here’s another attempt, taking your helpful feedback into account. I made it a little louder, too, because it is a little difficult to make out without its original context.
The last word has an odd sounding pronouncement, because I had to cut him off, and it sounds sort of… Scottish, maybe? I grant it’s a little weird.

Yep, sounds really good now.

The increased volume is an improvement. I can hear the words much better. Also trimming the last bit of frames is a big improvement.

His use of “nature” still doesn’t sound quite right, but hey, it is a better with the removal of R2 at the end.

Here’s a slight improvement to the ‘energy binder’ scene. I think it’s a little better, and has one fewer fan-editor-induced reordering of shots.

I really like this!

For the above post, that reminds me of an idea regarding the “wrench.”

From the scene at the duration from 46 - 48 with the pod running, couldn’t putting an object on the ground below it be the wrench showing it fell through the vents onto the ground? That seems the simplest way to connect the dots.

Seems like the most straight forward way to deal with this is to edit the shot so the wrench doesn’t fall into the engine in the first place. Perhaps that’s something I could help with later, I’m still working on the hyperspace scene for IV at the moment (not much left).

If we overanalyze this further, with the idea that continuity errors not caused by the fan editing are kosher, I think its fine.

In TPM, Jar Jar drops the wrench into the engine. Then, he reaches for what has to be something else and gets his hand stuck. The original wrench isn’t addressed again.

Either way, I really don’t think this is worth sweating.

Also, you guys, what do you think about me reinstating Ben Quadrinaros? I’m leaning in that direction.

Yeah, it wouldn’t hurt. I think most of the podrace is worth keeping. And it’s nice to have one Ben in each trilogy, haha.

For Jar Jar, you could potentially cut it just as it hits the pod, right before bounces off and falls in and see if that might work.

I personally would probably just cut the whole bit of him getting zapped.
