Another thing I’m working on for this edit of the trilogy: Removing 3PO from TPM and AOTC. Here’s some early examples of how that’s going.

In the first clip, I masked 3PO out of the wide shot, but it was impossible (or at least, beyond my abilities) to remove him from meeting the Lars. Since he doesn’t have the same coloring as 3PO in the other films, I just changed it to a different droid with a new voice.

For the funeral scene, it was a little trickier as he is standing right next to Padme. Masking him out of the wide shot was easy enough, but I had to do multiple masks and zoom in to create a new shot when R2 approaches.

It’ll be easy enough to remove 3PO from the rest of the film just by cutting the droid hijinks on Geonosis and working around him at the wedding scene at the very end.

All of this will get further smoothed out, but it’s a good start.
