I need to revisit the script and see some of the notes scoring wise, but I'll probably start on my own and we can work from there. Just to keep all of the ducks in a row on my end.
That'd be great. I personally am confused about what's happening with Ep. I plotwise- there was some discussion of killing off Nute in Ep. I, which would cause a major continuity error in SOTDS (which you'll understand after watching).
I don't know- I can kind of understand why not much work has taken place yet- maybe you want to make sure that SOTDS is not an amateurish piece of garbage before putting in all kinds of time to complete the trilogy.
And you will all find out in April (May at the absolute latest)....
From the SOTDS:
really the bottom line: CC is in charge of Starkiller Ranch, and we need to know where he stands on this.
This is true- however, do not underestimate the power of MTHaslett
Storywise, MTH was a HUGE influence during the cutting, and when making Ep. I, I would value his opinion very highly. He's busy lately and doesn't post much publicly, but he's still around.

Now Trooperman, if you don't stop downing yourself on the time and everything I'm gonna get a ruler and rap your knuckles!
I'm sure it'll be great. As InfoDroid said, if we start major work before we've seen SOTDS, we're really flying blind, so that's why there's waiting there. And thus, I will be putting together all of my notes on the music and everything and work that out, so we've got something to work on there, as opposed to scrambling to put everything together in the middle of it all. CC and I have already done some discussion, and so I've got some ideas that I'll look back over, and I'll outline it all. While I'm at it I'll try to find the major plot stuff in the script--in fact, I think there was a rough outline some pages back. I'll look into everything.Yeah, MTH is a huge force. It seems to be that the best course of action is to get as much done as possible that doesn't require SOTDS, for instance the music outline. Then when SOTDS is finished, we can watch it, and CC and MTH particularly, along with whoever else is going to be big on the story decisions, etc., can work out the direction of the movie.
A couple things that you mentioned in the SOTDS thread is the Maul=Grievous issue and where Sidious will come in. It seems like those would be pretty major things. How are you going to handle that, Trooperman? Because it seemed like there was talk that there should be some kind of scene with Dooku about Grievous in SOTDS to show what's going on. I suppose that could be resolved, at worst case scenario, with an extended "Maul=Grievous cut" later on, with the scene inserted...maybe, I don't know. Just throwing ideas out. Where were we at on that point, guys?
