My Waterfall Clip...

Obi-wan see's they are close to the waterfall, he jumps off the Pylon just in time, Anakin see's him, he tries to jump as well, but.....oops, he doesn't make it and goes over the fall. Let me know what you all think.

GoodMusician,
Regarding your Duel, I LOVED IT. If yoda and Palpatine must be included (I really wish there was a way to take them out, but I doubt there is), this is the way it needs to be done. The energy is the best I've seen yet and makes the duel feel longer than it actually was. You took what George gave us and really made it flow better than he ever did. You even made the balancing act over the lava work perfectly, primarily as a cut between yoda and palps, The musical score and DOTF fit VERY well and I think it is what actually made the biggest difference. You deserve awesome credit for that.


The ONLY thing I didn't like was the cut back and forth starting at the balancing act, yoda and palpatine lightning battle, back to anakin and obi, then yoda slipping, and back to the duel. This is the part of the duel where I feel the music should be at it's height, and we see the Climax of the duel without the inturruption of the yoda and palps fight. Other small complaint would be the music "Heroes collide" (I think that's what it is) it is when they are battling on the pylon after jumping down from the balancing beam... the "clink clack clink clack" music at marker 3:38 annoys me. It takes all the energy out of the scene.

Here is my re-edit of the sequence I was talking about, I left a short black segment in where I believe my above waterfall death, would fit perfectly. Way to go GoodMusician, with these small, and may I add, VERY SMALL changes, this is the duel I wanted from the beginning (minus yoda and palpatine of course). The death is still up in the air for me, but it would be nice to have both on a lovely DVD in the near future! Thank you.

Please forgive all burned logos, and rough cuts, I'm still learning these editing programs.
