MagnoliaFan Edits: Ep I "Balance Of The Force", and Ep II "The Clone War" (Released) — Page 25

MagnoliaFan,

I love both your original revisions, but I have a suggestion for the redo of Episode I -

- Don't use the Imperial March when you show Darths Sidious and Maul; there's no "Empire" yet - maybe the emperor's creepy throne room theme from ROTJ would sound better (to me at least).

Again, this is just my opinion.

Rikter,

Received my copies of Balance and Clone War this past weekend. Magnoliafan has done an incredible job. Jar Jar is much more interesting now and the story seems to flow much better. I am so curious to see if he will be doing an edit of ROTS, will be interesting.
Stopped they must be, on this all depends. Only a fully trained Jedi Knight with the Force as his ally will conquer Vader and his Emperor.

Is it possible for me to get a copy of these edits? Reply or shoot me a PM if you know who I should contact. Any help would be appreciated, since I'm incredibly interested in seeing how these films could be good.

Can someone who got the magfan eps 1 and 2 on DVD pay it forward? I will gladly do the same. If it helps I have a somewhat decent trade list as well.

Thanks for the covers Rikter!

What's the status on a revision of Balance Of The Force?


No there is not a MagFan EpIII at this time.

YES, it is on my upload queue but that's just my queue (as in waiting to be uploaded) and it will be upload once it is done.

As for Ep I it is also in the works. (revisions)

I assure you all that once they are ready either MagnoliaFan or myself will announce them here

I've been looking for these edits everywhere. I tried contacting a few of you for information, but I can only guess you probably have a ton of similar requests flooding your email boxes. (I apologize if that wasn't welcomed). In any case, can anyone help me out? You can email me, or something. The torrent method isn't working out, mostly because it's new technology and that frightens me. Thanks!

Nope, not publicly...

I guess the question I pose right now is, in the meantime, is there interest in a higher quality DVD release of the "Original (almost) Unaltered Versions" of Balance of the Force and The Clone War.


Thanks for the advice!

I would be interested in one of Balance Of The Force for sure - would you be redoing the title crawl at all?

Mag - I think your Ep I & II edits are widely considered classics and it would be well worth improving the quality on them. I think andy_k_250 is right about the crawls needing to be redone. There are some pretty flawless crawls on some of the other projects here and I'm sure you could get their makers to help you out. You might also consider burnt-in subtitles, since they are such an important part of your cuts and the player-generated ones look pretty cheap. The Phantom Editor revamped his first version (adding commentary in the process) and if you've seen that I think you'll agree it was well worth it.

HELL YES! Please do so, sir, at least to tide us over whilst we wait for newer output from you.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

Hey MagnoliaFan-

Balance of the Force is in my opinion the best Ep. I edit out currently. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Will it involve.... new language tracks for the aliens? I know you had mentioned that a while back....

Episode II: Shroud of the Dark Side

The crawls are redone already, (courtesy of MBJ).
The alien language dialogue is remixed to remove any forward spanish words.

The Special Edition (waiting for CG Yoda release of TPM) will have a few varying alien tracks.
I'm still on the fence about dubbing in new voice actors for the alien audio because although the lip synch could be improved, I've yet to see a fan redub of a character that was really spot on. There's usually just a sense of, some guy recorded this at home and spliced it in. If I recieved some type of voice over auditions from people where I just went "Wow, that's perfect", I would consider it.
Other things for the Special Edition of Balance include a little onscreen of discussion of just what the Sith are, between Qui-Gon and Anakin, in the place of the midichlorian discussion and of course:

Adding Greivous into BOTF is a very bold move. As long as he loooks and sounds like he belongs in those shots, then it should be awsome.

Aww, I had really hoped that you went with the idea of turning Grievous into Darth Maul for your edit of Ep III.
