Info Wanted: Is anyone working on The Clone Wars 2008 - with extended material added?

Is anyone working on an extended edition with the deleted material put back in?

Deleted Material? Lol This whole movies existance should be Deleted the worst Star Wars movie ever, and the only one to bomb in theaters and not open at number 1.

Even Lucas apologists like Roger Ebert though that movie was an obomination.

I am fully aware of your opinion of Star wars things, I like Star Wars edits and was hoping someone was reinserting the deleted material into this movie.

Is anyone working on reinserting the deleted scenes into Clone Wars 2008? Thanks.

The gout happened to me.  Non anamorphic Transfers in 2006 from a laserdisc master. 

I am angry that the original films were released as a bonus disc from a source that would have been adequate in 1993 in the 20th century and not 2006 in the 2lst century. 

Until Lucas gets his shit together and puts out a proper release i am done supporting him, funnily enough i used to be the one of the guys biggest fans and apologists until the slap in the face to original trilogy fans that was the gout.  Up until they i could abide the special editions as a neat Alernate cut but not as a replacement and enjoy the prequels even though they were inferior to the originals.

I payed to see the special editions in the theater.  I saw Star Wars A New Hope only once because it was consistantly sold out.  I saw Empire and Jedi twice as i can remember.  Also i saw Return of the Jedi original re-release in 1985.  I had only seen empire strikes back and Star Wars on home video, i was not old enough to see them in theaters.  I just turned 30 and was born in 1978.

I saw Phantom Menace once in theaters, Attack of the Clones twice and Revenge of the Sith twice.

I skipped seeing Clone Wars 2008, by the time i had a chance to see it was already gone from my Local theater.  Indiana Jones IV i also paid to see once and i left the theater feeling empty and betrayed.   That was the single biggest letdown in movies for me ever.  That being said there was much too be enjoyed in that movie, but it was flawed.

I have all the star wars films on dvd except 2008 Clone Wars.  I even have the phantom menace on Laserdisc, i have all the soundtracks except the clone wars.  I have every Indy movie and score except crystal skull.

I find the botched colors on the 2004 cut to be an insult as is the fucked up sound mix.  The 1997 special edition had a spectacular picture quality in theaters and the sound was just phenomenal.  I disliked the greedo shooting first thing, but i do like the jabba scene especially in the 2004 and the space ships at the end battle was an improvement.  I had almost no problems with Empire and Jedi special editions in 1997 sure i liked the old lapti nek and yub nub as a kid but the films essentially were still the same.  In 2004 it was the added emperor scene in empire strikes back and new dialogue i hated, Morrison as Boba voice over, and Hayden replacing Sabastian Shaw in Return of the Jedi ghost scene. And i especially hated the Jar Jar "weesa free" part.  I had no problem with them including a shot of naboo, or the jedi temple in the background,  but Jar Jar should have met his end by being killed by Darth Vaders red saber.

Im sorry you dont enjoy SW anymore, it makes me a sad bunny...

However Id like to keep this thread on topic...

Is anyone working on reinserting the deleted scenes into Clone Wars 2008? Thanks

I thought one of the deleted scenes from the clone wars movie ended up being used in a videogame.

If you guys love Clone Wars you should really check out the Dark Horse Comics the cover art is awesome.  Too bad the interior art is never as good as the cover art though.

If you liked the prequels you should definetely check out the Republic comics that were done a whiles back, as well as The mini Obsession, and Grievous.  Also the Darth Maul graphic novel and novel are excellent, as Cloak of Deception the novel fills in the period before the Phantom Menace.  The novelizations and comic adaptations for the prequels are excellent, Dark Lord the rise of Darth Vader is an awesome follow up to Stovers Revenge of the Sith Novel .

DarkJedi i don't hate everything Star Wars i still enjoy those laserdisc preservations you did for the original films like the CAV Star Wars and Empire full screen pan and scan version.  One of my faves is your dark/sega special japan collection dvd trilogy.  And i was looking forward to the version you were working on that removed the japanese subtitles.  Too bad you scrapped that.  I also liked the Preservations you and BobaFeta put together like the 1997 special editions.

Your Flash Gordon and Howard the Duck dvds were awesome. 

As you can tell i am a big fan of all your preservations.  and Love the HD2DVD projects, Just wish that theatrical Cut of Raiders without the Lowry tinkering had happened.  But you said the dialogue was censored.

AxiaEuxine i have not heard of any extended edits being produced only fan edits that trim some of the cringeworthy dialogue and sillyness in the movie. 

The extended prequel editions ADigitalMAn made were very interresting even though you understood just why those scenes remained deleted from the final version of the movie.

If lucas ever releases all the incomplete deleted scenes for the original trilogy fans could try and put those scenes back in, but without finished effects, music or foley work and only on set and on Location audio it would be hard to make anything of them.  The best place for such scenes would be in a Jambe Davdar style documentary on the making of the films.

That is even if they can locate them.  The jabba scene was only found as a 16mm dupe of the 35mm original negative and was used on the special edition in 1997.  The original 35mm was lost so they had to make do with an inferior dirty 16mm that was printed from the original for the documentary from star wars to jedi. 

Who knows if the Sandstorm sequence in Return of the Jedi that was deleted if it survives in the LFL arhcives, the lightsaber building scene was apparently never shot or only partially shot and never finished and no footage survives.  But the music score for the scene does exist.

I have never done anything like that and would not release what would end up being a clumsy effort.

::: Hopes Dark Jedi is inspired by the deleted scenes to make the edit he wants....or hopes his gratitude will be enough :::

nice,

i'll be looking forward to this also..

Skyjedi....I assume you know that the Clone Wars movie was just 3 or 4 episodes of the new tv series put together to make an episode long enough to be a movie. And....I can't tell by your posts if you've actually seen the movie yet, if not, you can rent it at redbox for $1. I thought it was great, however, even if you hated the movie, the series is way better! You should definitely check that out, every Friday night on Cartoon Network.....or if you don't have that channel, free on Star Wars.com.......much more like the original trilogy, and many nods to the OT.....just check it out, I really think you might be surprised.....peace....

  there's a discussion about each episode here, skyjedi has commented.
