TM:

I will eagerly check out whatever you post. But a word of caution is warrented because this is a lo-o-o-ng process. Because the biggest question any of us have is "What will the new Anakin sound like?" you better not post any of that until you nail it. There are going to be ruthless nay-sayers no matter what you post. If the posted sample mix is unfinished, it takes an experienced ear and a kind heart to listen to it and be supportive. Save yourself the headache of posting anything too soon.

I love the upside of dubbing Anakin - new lines, better delivery, darker presence; but I fear the possible downside too: what if it's jarring? What if the mix feels unnatural? I leave it to your capable hands to fend off the troubles, of course. But if you post something that isn't finished and seems to prompt more worry, I fear this thread could attract trolls and other unnecessary flack.

I have access to equipment for recording lines. I've done acting and can help if you need it. I would have volunteered sooner, but I've been pretty busy. Let me know-- this offer is real.

It's too bad the crawl can't be re-done one more time because it would be the perfect place to establish that "Queen Amidala has given up her throne to work for the good of the galactic Senate" -- this bit in the opening crawl would give more oomph to the opening scenes. The way this plays out in AotC feels like a retired politician taking a lame-duck token position as a Senator rather than a powerful person taking on a new and difficult mission.

But that droid factory stuff looks too cool for school!!! So much more realistic and so much more atmosphere. With the little character weight you're adding to their mission here, this sequence is going to feel and look a hell of a lot better.
