A real quick comment on Jar Jars dialouge. I could certainly go either way on his voice : alien or english. I think english would make him more of a real character (I wish I had the equipment to try dubbing) but the alien voice , of course, would work as well. If we do an alien voice, can we find a different track of alien voice to use? I'm not really a fan anymore of the "reversed/manipulated" foreign language tracks. No matter which way you put it, it kind of just reminds you you are watching an altered edit. It needs to be lower pitched, and I say for the sake of our own edit, we should re-write the dialouge for his character. Magfans were interesting (other than "oh shit, oh shit"), and I never got my hands on AdMans subtitles (could someone post them?).......but we should just go ahead and have him say whatever we want depending on what concrete character we make him out of. I would like to see jar jar as someone who LEFT his village and is wondering the planet looking for adventure, but of course he's not very good at it. He would willingly follow the jedi through their adventure and by the end of the film he would realize, as i've posted before, that he understands and respects his people in the end.

If we decide to keep the scene with the gang confronting Boss Nass in the woods (queen reveal scene), would you guys like me to try an attempt of re-writing this scene with different dialouge, music and editting reactions? This is the one scene that made me sick when I first saw it.....but if we need it for plot reasons, then I would love to have a shot at it.

Having fun!

p.s. Could one of you PM me information on what equipment it takes to dub voice track, alter voice track and then send it to someone over email? I'm a little in the dark on this but would love to help out. I actually sent in some voice work to lucasfilm company in 2000, of course , I got no reply. But hey , that doesn't say anything!
