I fixed the podrace and now it's back to its theatrical version, without Jabba/Greg Proops/C3PO/couple of cheesy lines/"Oh Poodoo"
Okay the more I watched the celebration scene, the lamer it got. And since a lot of people seem to want it gone, I chopped it off.
Okay, the funeral scene, I'm still not sure about continuing the funeral music into the credits, that seems like a big mistake. But if I could make it work I'll consider it. Would I still use the optical wipe that all Star Wars films end with? Do I fade out and fade into the credits?
The other option (keeping the Star Wars fanfare) is to change the music to something kinda sad, but big and climactic, to mix right into the ending music. I brought out an old mp3 of Prokofiev's "Midnight" to try and it kinda works, but of course real Star Wars music would be much better. Suggestions?
The opening I haven't gotten around to working with yet. If I wanted to fix the Jar Jar thing someone brought up earlier, I could show the Jedi and Jar Jar walking across the overpass, preparing to descend upon the group, this would give Jar Jar some kinda opening that would be less silly than him hanging from the overpass as the Jedi fight, but in any way I edit it, Jar Jar is just gonna show up out of nowhere. Suggestions?
Thanks again guys.
