InfoDroid -- did you see nothing of value there? I agree with your comments about the mix, but I was pretty blown away by the general effect. The "Saga" version of the duel is much better reflected with the new music cues and sharper action.
I mean no disrespect to whoever created it, it's just hard to enjoy something that's so highly compressed quality-wise and difficult to really judge how good it is. As I explained earlier in the SOTDS thread, I've already started work on an edit of this scene utilizing the "Obi-Wan vs. Anakin" track from ROTS. And yes, I'm thrilled with the results of the juxtaposition. I guess I was just comparing it to mine.
I'll be posting mine pretty soon.
Very true. But it was still kind of a cool effect, that makes you think more about the possibilities of this whole Jedi telepathy thing. Especially regarding Anakin.
But there is an aesthetic choice you face, InfoDroid: what "look" are you going for? Trooperman has the intention of "aging" the prequels. We are in danger here of "de-aging" the OT. My opinion is that the SE versions of the OT have many aesthetic changes that match better with the PT, but I think my ideal "Saga" would all have as much OT style as possible. That means music cues, story-telling choices, seamless effects (as much as possible-- avoiding bad CGI whenever possible), and "flash-frames" in the duels and laser-battles. But what do you think?

I didn't understand why Obi Wan's line "run, Luke, run!" was replaced with Vader's voice. I think that jumps the gun because if Vader knew Luke were on the Death Star, he wouldn't give a good damn about dueling with Obi Wan.

I want whatever we do to be consistent with SOTDS. Including all of the points you mentioned. But, keep in mind I am also limited by what my equipment will do. I've been having trouble in Womble adding effects, even wipes and color changes.
