I actually like that line, Erik. It’s simple and to the point.

But I actually don’t have that line at this time. When I borrowed “Man with the Golden Gun”, I forgot to rip that line, as fate would have it. If there is no prominent background music in the film at that time, then I’d really like to use the line.

Again, I’d love it if some kind person with “Golden Gun” could rip that line (“Forget the girl; she’s replaceable”). I have all of the other useful Chris Lee lines from that movie- I just need that one. I could try and borrow the film again, but that takes time.

This help would be very much appreciated!

-------------------

How's this:

Anakin: Padme is probably dead right now, because of you. Any last words?
Dooku: Come, come. The girl is replaceable.
Anakin: I'm about to take your head off.
Dooku: You get as much fulfillment out of killing as I do!
Anakin charges.

Obi-Wan: Anakin! No!


It's hard to write the scene without knowing what tone of voice Lee uses for "The girl is replaceable."


If he really thought she was dead, there wouldn't be the mild aggression that he shows in the movie, but pure rage.

That's what the new ADR could be used for. Besides, I don't think he really thinks she's dead, but in case she is, Dooku must die a painful death. It's the thought that counts, anyway. The thing is, we have to establish that Dooku's general smug attitude makes Anakin run at him more quickly than he would have otherwise.

EDIT: I love the line, "Prepare to meet your destiny," Marvolo.


I'd love to see SOTDS edited so that Anakin's rage is played up after Padme falls. Maybe a few closeup shots of him looking disraught and distracted as the gunship continues to pursue Dooku.

Anakin: I'm about to take your head off.

This sounds a bit contrived. If you really were in a fit of rage, I doubt you'd stop to make this kind of statement. You'd just go right ahead and do it. In addition, "Any last words?" sounds like Anakin already knows he's going to take on Dooku by himself, before he's been provoked by Dooku.

I guess my point is, Anakin should be upset, but still fairly rational until provoked by Dooku. Once that happens, he snaps and goes for it by himself.

Just my thoughts.
