Oh yeah, and Trooperman, Jango has two lines in his helmet, the other being, "Don't move, Jedi!"
Thanks! I thought I might have missed another line.
I was just wondering...did you end up using any pieces of the deleted scenes in this edit? I seem to recall you were going to try and use some of the family scene?
Yes, I actually used a number of the deleted scenes, although they were changed just as much as other scenes in the film. The Jedi Analysis robot speaks in a different voice and has different dialogue (in order to eliminate Dex's Diner), the dinner scene is in, the bedroom scene is in (shortened and in a very different form), and the trial scene is in, again, with very different dialogue and music.
And to answer your question Weezer, TM is giving the Clonetroopers intercom clicks when they speak (unless that's changed without my knowledge).
That is correct. However, I haven't done that yet because I don't have an actor for the stormtroopers yet.
Now, how you handle the music is going to have to do with how you're wanting to handle the story. Trooperman, say someone has never seen the Star Wars movies, and knows nothing about who does what or anything. Are you trying to keep the turn of the clones a surprise for ROTS? If so, then it would be highly preferable to avoid the Imperial March. You could still use something with a somewhat--or even just potentially--menacing undertone, but make it more of a grand fanfare for this army that--in the end of the movie--will end up saving the day. If you use something that is sort of on the fence like that, where you aren't sure whether they will end up good or bad--because at this point, there's still a mystery afoot, and we don't know what's going on--then that sort of tone with a balance of excitement and possible threat is there, then you're wondering until the end, and you THINK you know they're good, and BAM! That sets you up for a shock in ROTS. If you want to go that route, then the Imperial March will give it up right away. On that note, the Trade Federation march would also be bad for that approach. If not, then there is more freedom there, and if you want the Imperial March, hey, go right ahead. No problems there.
Good point. I'm not exactly sure what my big picture plan is (after all, who has not seen Ep. II that is going to see a copy of this first? Realistically...) However, after thinking about it, I do want the Imperial March reveal to be at either the end of the film or in the next film. Not during that particular scene. It's also worth mentioning that there are no longer any little quotes of Vader's theme in relation to Anakin, in this film.
I also really like the new voice of Gunray. At first I thought such a replacement would be useless, but like that it really is a lot better than the original.
Thanks!
Oh, as far as Nute's voice goes, I like it so far. In the cantina of the original Star Wars, all the cantina creatures sounded they were talking from the bottom of a bucket. Could a little underlying base or echo be added to Nute?
Yes. Actually, I experimented with some things, and what really did the trick was actually lowering the pitch of his voice a bit, combined with a boost in the bass. Much, much better (not to say the original was bad).

Regarding Jar-Jar, nobody seemed to like this idea, but I still think that if possible, Jar-Jar deserves to speak in English. He's such a main character in Ep. I; it doesn't seem professional in SW for such a main character to be subtitled so much. Imagine if C3PO was subtitled in Star Wars, for the entire film. My concept was for Jar-Jar to speak in an English/Australian accent, very light and without any aforementioned squealing and yelping. I know this is a lousy example, but imagine the frog in the Geico commercial.
However, I'd be happy with anything better than what we've got, really. And I agree that Jar-Jar should definitely not have a low voice.
Also, I have some bad news to bring you. Jeff Vitkuske, who was going to dub Uncle Owen, backed out of the project yesterday. He "couldn't get into it", apparently. Anyway, I'm stuck (and this is such a great scene, too).
If ANY of you sound remotely like PHIL BROWN, PM me immediately
It's just one scene, and a funny one at that. I need this dub in order to cut the video. I'm of course also looking for an actor to do the stormtroopers. I'm about to make a request in the General SW forum for that.
And I believe that hairy_hen is working on his part. Hopefully everything will come together

EDIT: I like the Kotor march! I'd love an uncompressed version...
