I thought it was really great, the edits were smooth and I didn’t really notice anything missing. The train and coloring really help the cgi to blend better too. Here are some things I would maybe change:
I think a new crawl with the preserved title would be a good change, the current one is bogged down by taxes and trade routes for two paragraphs instead of establishing the Galaxy.
I’d maybe remove the big boss nass blubber, the little one he does before it seems like enough
The midichlorian scene could probably be removed completely, I was kind of confused on what qui gon was doing to Anakin. Did he get burnt or something?
Personally I’d like to see the whole chosen one prophecy removed, I think the three trilogies mesh better without it. Not sure how you’d do it with qui gon and Yoda at the end though.
This may just be my speakers, but I felt like I had to turn the volume up for dialogue and down for the action heavy stuff. Maybe take a look at the mixing?
That’s all I can think of right now, I’ll go back through it and see if anything else sticks out. Can’t wait for AOTC.
I’m definitely open to a new crawl, I just don’t want to change the titles of the movies.
I actually kept the Boss Nass thing due to it being difficult to remove with a good audio edit, but I will take another look at it.
So the scene with Qui-Gon tending to Anakin’s wound was a late addition, I needed a scene like that for pacing reasons as everything was moving a bit too quickly. I also like it because it gives a little bit of character to Anakin, talking about how he wants to be a pilot and see all the planets. What do you think I could do to make the scene fit better?
I actually really do like the chosen one thing, I think it’s more nuanced than people give it credit for, so I’ll be keeping that.
I definitely will do some more passes on the sound mix.
Thanks for the feedback!
