Ok , I thought i should bring this over from the Starkiller Ranch thread

I like most of what Ady did, but my friends and I were horrified at the music added to the saber fight in ANH. It doesn't belong there and is a far worse change than anything Lucas ever did. I'll take a 100 Greedos firing first over THAT.

Hamfistedly laying music behind it doesn't appreciably change it or make it better, so why not just leave it be?

Most of what Ady has done to his cut DOES help it, but I think in a few spots he suffers from "kid with a new toy" syndrome and is finding every last change he can make just for the sake of it.

How many times do you have to say that i have done things just for the sake of it when you don't agree with what i have done? You are starting to sound like a stuck record. You said exactly the same things earlier in this thread numerous times and each time i explained in detail my thinking behind each decision and that it was not an "it's there because i can do it" choice. Personally i don't care what either you or your Hollywood buddies think about this edit. Oh and for your information only 1 scream was added in the Tantive battle. The others existed there in the first place. i have made the movie I wanted to make and all the changes were carefully thought out. the saber battle was tried with both music present and without. I also played the 2 versions of the scene to various friends, some don't even like Star Wars, and the majority preferred the scene with the music, so my first choice ultimately became my final one. My personal taste was that it added more to it with the music present with the new editing. I was not suffering from being a "kid with a new toy" as you have said. And how the hell can you say that adding the music is worse than anything Lucas did? Greedo shooting first changed Hans character. He was a cold blooded mercenary when he shot Greedo first. As it stands since the SE's he was only defending himself. How the hell you can say that adding music to a scene is worse than that then i'm sorry but I disagree 100%. The music does nothing to change any characters or storyline.

No amount of slamming the decisions that you don't like will make me change them

I really think that i'm going to keep my ESB Revisited as a private project because you are really gonna hate some of the changes in that. When you see all the Gungans hiding out in Dagobah, the scene with Darth vaders personal masseur, Luke's new line on Dagobah - " get these mutha fuckin snakes of my mutha fuckin X-Wing", Tha Wampa musical number and Lando's new afro you are gonna flip.

Now i think we need more Kitty time.
