This could work if you only used it in a couple spots. Could do with the Leia change to drive that point home. I think another spot that could help would be after 3PO recounts the events of the trilogy. Always thought this was kind of an odd sequence but I think the point is that the Ewoks hearing their stories inspired them to join their mission to fight. Could add a subtitle or two there to make that clear.
Agreed. I would say the only two places I would put Ewok subtitles would be there, when they chief says they’ll join their fight, and when the chief speaks before/after Leia asks them to release her friends.
Somehow I remember the quality being way worse than it actually is. That could be cleaned up pretty easily. I think between that and some trims (would cut the scene where she falls into his lap) you could patch the issue for the most part.
I guess the first step would be to try and download the best quality version of this video.
If we couldn’t clean it up seamlessly, I think it would be cool to use for a more grainy, Puggo Grande-like version of the film using deleted scenes and alternate takes. I actually think it would be cool to do something similar for all three Original Trilogy films. Like how the Revisited trilogy are “What the Special Editions should have been”, these could be “what the Original Trilogy could have been.”
