I definitely think we should go with Ep. III next. As someone said, Ep. I is pretty far removed from the actual meat of the story. The OT is already great, in my opinion. The logical next step after Ep. II is to continue and tackle the cringeworthy badness that is Ep. III. As I finish up Ep. II over the next couple months, I think it'd be good to discuss some basic plot points.
Big ones:
-How do we make Anakin's turn (and subsequent stay through Ep. III-VI) to the Dark Side believable and logical?
-Does Darth Maul=General Grievous? If so, how? If not, how do we salvage that whole section of Ep. III (without filming new footage- I don't have a Panavision handy
)With Adywan onboard, he has the SPFX tools and knowledge to make more radical changes possible.
Also, cinematography-wise, Ep. III is a huge improvement over Ep. II, especially for the Anakin/Palpatine scenes (which I wish there were more of). Less work there.
Also, GoodMusician's complete Ep. III score will make music much easier than it was with Ep. II. I wound up replacing the majority of the music for SOTDS, simply because the tracks were hacked up and mixed far too low in the soundtrack. And as GoodMusician said, very little music has been released otherwise. So that'll be a lot easier.
And I'll be back for Anakin, along with all of the other actors in SOTDS, as far as I know. So it looks like things would be set to go after SOTDS. I'm kind of tired of doing this right now, but I'm sure I'll help edit part of the movie. I relish the idea of redoing the scenes involving Anakin. Thinking about fixing the Grievous scenes, lightsaber-fighting Yoda, and etc. just gives me a headache at this point.
But that's stuff to be worked out later. Now if those two basic points can be hammered out, we'll have a starting spot
