Very nice addition to the script. It also made me realized how clustered that whole sequence was in the original cut, we didn't need all of that exposition on getting out of the ship and going somewhere to fix the hyperdrive. With the right music added, this will finally stand out as a neat entry in the mos espa, something that surprised me the first time I saw it by being non-chalant. I think the "Droid wandering" music from ANH and the "enter mos eisley" from ANH would be obvious choices , however......wouldn't it be a little copy and paiste? Meaning, wouldn't it seem to be imitating ANH too much? I'm all for the extra shots of spanning dunes however, the bantha's from the ROTJ SE could work, but you only have soo much to work with there before the sail barge comes flying in. I'm for putting in "droid wandering" track for the characters approaching.....but I think we should keep the mos eisly theme for mos eisly only. Perhaps a nice , warming "skywalker theme" considering that this is the moment we are about to meet the chosen one.

By the way, I know you guys are going for titling this Star Wars. Although I understand your reasoning for it, I don't think that it makes a whole lot of sense when we are purposefully making this Pt. 1 of a saga. It's almost as if trying to fool people into thinking it was the first one to come out, and then all the sequels came after it. I dont know.........i'm a fan of Star wars episode one: The Chosen One. It's simple and entirely effective. I can't believe that you are coming up with such interesting shots Mthasslet, this is a very good cut so far. I'm getting nervous as we get to the darth maul scenes.........i'm not quite on the Maul=Grevious band wagon. I know you guys have already decided to go forward with it, but i'm having a hard time putting the characters together, no matter what the dialouge. But anyway, good luck with the next update!
