About the bar scene: Our version was "inspired" by Trooperman's cut, though it won't be an exact duplicate. We were very impressed with how much atmosphere he was able to create and the foreboding tone he was able to infuse into an otherwise weak scene. So, it's our interpretation of those elements.

A few shots from Blade Runner are being used, albeit slightly different shots arranged in a slightly different way than what TM had. Like his, the framing is tighter throughout the scene and the crowd noise has been elevated to give it a more claustrophobic feel. The colors will be similar, and the music is a toss-up between TM's "Village Inn", "Lapti Nek" and "Iziz Cantina" from KOTOR. I'm partial to "Iziz Cantina" at the moment. It just flows so well with our cut and provides the perfect atmosphere in my opinion.

One major difference between ours and Trooperman's is that his relied heavily on flipped shots. While I understand why he did this (a left to right entrance is better from a cinematography standpoint), we chose not to do this because of the continuity errors it would create. (Lightsabers on the wrong side, etc.)

I'm very pleased with how it's turning out. This scene combined with the revived chase scene help to infuse the AOTC portion with that classic OT feel that we all missed when watching the prequels...
