SPENCE!!! I absolutely love the beginning of that duel scene with the slow version of Battle of the Heroes! That feels like something straight out of a samurai film. Unfortunately, I don’t think the song works when they actually begin to start fighting. Also, I know that you said you fixed the mix on it but I honestly think the music could be even lower. Almost like it’s just playing in the wind, hanging there like a ghost of their past friendship.
Anyways, I think the other music edits you did are fantastic as well (and I really like how you cut the “running away in the tunnel” part of that one clip shorter jkimm!)
Yeah, I was starting to think that too. It’s always going to be a bit compromised, because the center channel isn’t clean. So you’ll either always hear a little bit of the old music, it’ll be too loud, or I’d have to re-do the foley for 90% of it, which I’m not prepared or equipped to do believably. I rescored and foleyed a short action scene for my Mission Impossible 2 edit, and it took weeks. That was a quarter as long and complicated as this would be.
I’m leaning toward maybe keeping the quiet bit while they stand off, then pivoting to the original music when Kenobi says “I will do what I must”.
Honestly, I think I might start from scratch on the whole duel, as I’ve been doing so many little changes to it it feels a bit overwhelming. I might just do a nice, clean start over.
