Thats kind of disheartening, why would you not be able to finish the project?

my version of the Emperor scene will be a shot-for-shot replica of the original (the SE DVD changes a lot of the shots around), and will include a side view of Ian McDiarmid saying "He could destroy us" which is not present in the 2006 DVD (how I do that I'll leave you to guess).

So its going to be the original Emperor pictured on the screen with McDiarmid's lines? If thats the case that still isnt a great improvement on the scene, the scene was never that bad to begin with. The hologram in the original left a lot to the imagination which was a good way of doing it and the original lines were never a problem. You could never recreate a good scene with an actor speaking lines in a part 26 (actually more) years after the scene was compeleted.

I know its your project and you can do it to your liking, I just always felt that scene was fine the way it was. It never bothered me for an instant that neither the actor nor the voice was McDiarmid.
