Thanks for laying down the law there, InfoDroid. Since you're doing the actual editing on this project, you'll have the final say on what direction all the ideas go. And yes, MTH could speak for me when he saud it's just an honor to contribute. I've said this before but we have the fun part of the job, brainstorming concepts we'd like to see. You and Trooperman have the grunt work, and we appreciate all you guys do.

Qui-Gon's dream: A good start, but I think it shows way too much. Things should be dark, obscured, and confusing. Ideally the dialouge would start while the screen was still black, then the pictures slowly fades in to Qui-Gon placing his hands on Anakin's shoulders. The "Anakin!" transitioning to Qui-Gon getting stabbed is prefectly unsettling. I'd cut the shot of Obi-Wan though. "Great or terrible things" I would change the visuals to winning the pod race and leading the Clonetrooper army respectively. And I know all the dialogue comes from Batman Begins, but where are we going with that? What purpose does it serve to his character, and is this Qui-Gon really talking to him or is he just imagining it? And is there a way to seperate the Ducard lines from the snap, crackle, and pop noises of the fire in the background? Padme saying "Anakin" (which is in the scene I believe) at the end of the dream, waking him up, would make for a better transition as well. Hope I don't sound too critical, I really enjoyed it and see many possibilities here, it just needs to be refined.

Glad you liked Narnia, great film. Though if we want to use any of the dialogue we may need to obtain a copy...before it is officially available fo you know what I mean.
