I opened this thread and was so excited to find that you want to do this edit so it's compatible with SOTDS. It's very good timing, because SOTDS comes out this year for sure. As others have said, the "Starkiller" thread has some really good ideas regarding Episode I. Also, Erikstormtrooper's site contains a re-written Ep. I by MTHaslett, InfoDroid and Commander Courage (I think?). The funny thing is that I was never given the password to the script, even though I started the series
PADME: You're a pilot? (this could be dubbed into something else - is Padme dubbed in SOTDS?)
Unfortunately no. If anyone can find a woman willing to do ADR for three Star Wars movies, I'll gladly use the recordings and do SOTDS version 2.0. Since the mixes are pratically all recreated anyway, it'd be very easy to replace Portman in SOTDS, and it would actually create a cleaner sounding mix. Doing the other two movies is where it'd probably get difficult.
Speaking of dubbing, the Nemoidians are dubbed and subtitled for SOTDS in an obscure language (a variant of "Tagalog", I think. So when you're ready, you'll want to contact Sluggo with all of the lines you've written, so that they can be translated and recorded by his two friends, who did a very professional job with the lines.
Also, I introduced C-3PO in SOTDS, and there's a new backstory that goes with him (Anakin didn't build him).
And then there's the question... does Maul=Grievous? I'm actually not sure, and there's nothing in SOTDS that indicates one way or another.
ANAKIN: Hey, Sebulba, I thought I told you you could only pick on people as ugly as yourself.
SEBULBA: Like you, Skywalker? Human children don't just look bad, they smell bad.
ANAKIN: Dude, whatever.
Ha ha! In my opinion, Star Wars characters shouldn’t use modern words like “dude”, “man”, “cool”, “boyfriend”, “girlfriend”… “This party’s over!” Etc. My goal was to model the prequels after classic film. I always referred back to this, and the general feel is grittier and less "modern and sterilized", if you know what I mean. You'll definitely understand what I'm talking about after seeing SOTDS.
Also, technically speaking: SOTDS is in 2:35:1 anamorphic, with a stereo soundtrack (PCM and Dolby Digital depending on the edition). I'm trying to matrix it and make it Pro Logic compatible (so the stereo can be decoded into four channel surround), but I'm still uncertain about that.
Anyway, it's really wonderful that you are considering doing this- it's a LOT of tedious work, but there's a lot of fun that goes along with it, as you see the movie improve drastically before your eyes.
May the force be with you!
