Thanks. I would've done Rapidshare but they have a 100mb limit now.

It's a shame that you can't tinker with them in a 'clutched' position, so it looks like they are struggling back and forth at a moment, almost at an empass.

I probably could.

I would add in some more dialogue from Vader or some off screen stuff from Ben. Possibly a Vader "You don't know the Power of the Dark Side" right after Obi Wan smiles and right before Vader strikes him. Re-using some frames, or just playing them back again...it would allow for the score to sync up alittle bit more or finish and would also look back towards "You underestimate my powers".

Good idea. I'll definitely try it.

Maybe that's wisest at this point since we all know Trooperman doesn't want to change it. There's still plenty to tweak and construct -- I think it's necessary to get the Emperor at least one scene in ANH (and we do have material we plan to cut from the prequels available to us).


Maybe that's a better idea, MTH. To be honest, not a whole lot needs to change in the OT. Not like the Prequels. Except for a few things that HAVE to change.

One very out of place cue was the big crescendo when the droids make their way to the ship. What I liked so much about the original clip I posted was although the music jumped around, everything was appropriate for its accompanying visuals. What you've done is definitely a great groundwork, but I think we can make it even better with the right musical cues in the right places. The key thing for me really is Obi-Wan's death and the Falcon's escape. That bit was perfect on the one I posted; also TM has said he doesn't want to use that music in its place in RotS, so it wouldn't be a repeated track. I also think it should start out with low, ominous and mysterious music; obviously not the same track as used in the first clip (coming from Padme's Ruminations) but something along those lines. So take it or leave it but those or my thoughts.


All right, well that's why I put it out there. Now I fear maybe I've jumped the gun in posting it. You've made some valid points, and I'll work to make it better.

I would agree with the people warning against “de-aging” these movies. If it were me, I would use as much footage from the original as possible (the original establishing shot of Ben’s hut, no stupid looking Star Trek explosions, the original aliens in the cantina, no “funny” droid antics in Mos Eisley, no rontos, no little droids hovering around the stormtroopers and distracting you from the dialogue…the list goes on and on).


That's the route we'll go then, if you can assure me it's going to match up with the other films.

InfoDroid- we also need to figure out what we’re doing for subtitles so that we are consistent.


Definitely. Episode I will require the most amount of subtitles. So, I guess we need to figure out what we're doing with that first.
