I’m back with another clip, folks!
This time I’m tackling the kiss scene. This will give all of you a better idea of how drastic I want to “adjust” this movie. So, a few things going on in this clip:
-
I take advantage every time Anakins mouth is obscured by something or someone to add and/or change his dialogue.
-
removed “across the stars” music and replaced it with a lighter “anakins theme” from TPM which fits the mood better imo
-
I thought it might be fun but also wise to add R2 into this scene. Just to maybe reduce the question of ‘why are they NOW safe from bounty hunters?’. Without explicitly saying it, one could now reason that R2 is continuing to use his scanners for any sort of activity. And now, there’s a fun little bit where he turns away as they kiss. These shots of R2 are not yet finished. In fact, if anyone can think of a better shot of R2 to use, please let me know! This shot is not ideal because it’s so short.
-
I’ve repurposed Padme’s dialogue from TPM and placed it here to tease Anakin
-
the kiss itself is reworked to have a bit more passion from both characters…as if they’ve both wanted to do this for quite a while
-
there’s no abrupt ending to the kiss. no “I shouldn’t have done that” from Padme. They both enjoyed it, both feeling slightly awkward afterwards, Anakin cracks a joke to lighten the tension.
At this point, I’m slowly moving forward with my edit. This is the most “complete” scene so far but I would definitely appreciate feedback. Is there anything that isn’t working? Anything throw you off?
