Thank you, Weyseed! I too am a tad bit reluctant to merely call this a fan “edit”, because this implies that I just took what was there and cut it to my liking. So much new material is going into this thing, between the alternate music, newly recorded and possibly newly written music, completely new Anakin ADR, new Lama-Su, new robot, in some scenes completely new soundtrack…the list kind of goes on and on. So maybe I’ll just call it my edit/project and leave it at that

Still doing the final saber duel- and as usual, while experimenting, I stumbled across a couple fantastic things not part of the original duel plan. They are incorporated now. I think one of them was based off one of Darth Simon’s suggestions (eliminating a contradiction in the scene)…I could be wrong, though. But I originally had the scene sot that the music builds and builds underneath Obi-Wan/Dooku, and then it finishes when Dooku hits Obi-Wan and he falls to the ground. Now, keeping in mind the surprise of Anakin’s rescue (no CGI jumping shot), the music continues to build as Obi-Wan falls to the ground, Dooku raises his saber (only one short shot of this, not the endless shots of Obi-Wan making faces and Dooku twirling his lightsaber around. Also no cutaways to Anakin). So Dooku raises saber, Obi-Wan looks up, and Dooku brings down his saber onto Anakin’s saber (Yavin cue finishes). Shot of Obi-Wan looking up in relief. Cut to Dooku (Brave of you, boy), and this cut coincides with underscore of a tuba doing “Uranus” from planets (more musical unity). I had to lower this 3 half steps to make sense musically with the previous cue.

I don’t want to spell out the other change, but just wanted to let you know how frequently these ideas and experiments happen when I’m actually editing as opposed to watching.

This may be a crazy idea, but just to throw it out there….

What if General Grievous = Lama Su?
