Yea... is there some sort of link or... where did you read that article from at least? I will have to check the book store...

I just know that there has been talk before about how the final battle for Naboo had been re-cut like 16 times and John Williams was asked to re-score some things several times and how he as slightly annoyed by it... I've found almost all the material available musically and visually... I just wanted to try to make my edit as...authentic as possible.

Right now, I'm pretty sure of how I'm doing it. I've only diverged in one part and that was I moved the section for "Droid Battle" forward from where it is listed on the cue lis (which is unofficial and already known to be inaccurate). Rather than having it after "up the wire" (when they launch their grappling hooks) and before "The Great Duel," I moved it to before "Battle for Naboo III" which starts off with the edited out segment of the lightsaber battle and then shows Anakin in space and more of the Gungan batle... it fits better ther I think because if it's pushed till latter, it makes the time lapse between the activatio of the droids and their march upon the Gungan army too long.

Unfortunately, I had to remove a lot of video. I did it for the sake of keeping the music authentic. There are a lot of little edits... shifting the orders of shots to match up with specific musical cues, and also fixing the film becuase in the theatrical cut, the whole battle takes much longer and is, theirfore, re-edited wth more footage.

I should be done with the preliminary video/music in a moment. I hope to begin working on the sound soon.

Thanks for all the help
