Episode II only had a half a Wilhelm, or Wilhelm's cousin or whatever.
Very interesting! I will put a Wilhelm scream somewhere in the mix, maybe in the arena, if you insist
But JEEZ!! this movie could have been so much more.
You bet it could have been. And I would have done the romance much more differently. I would have an Anakin in his twenties fall in love with a complete stranger, an outsider that seduces him on his mission. Someone that doesn't care about the consequences for Anakin and has never met a Jedi before. A nightclub singer or someone like that. And this would happen while Anakin is on some kind of mission, rather than going to a romantic planet and having scene after scene of them sitting around talking and not doing anything else. But...the chance for that is gone and that's a different discussion entirely.
I'm working on the nightclub sequence and dropping in some shots from Blade Runner for a much darker feel to the thing. The original scene just seems far too sterile and harmless for my taste. I posted a little screenshot comparison for you to see:
Original Scene
New Scene
You can see that I had to change the color scheme of the scene so that the different clips of footage will seem as though they're from the same sequence. Also, the two editing styles are different- it's much more claustrophobic in BR, which I like. So this is another sequence where I'll be needing to do a lot of cropping from the full-screen DVD to match. Plus, this will help in the establishing nightclub shot- the less we see the better because otherwise, it's harder to figure out what part of the room the BR shots are coming from. If it's just a crowded claustrophic mess, it's good- that's what it should be anyway. That's why Zam went in in the first place.
