I was attempting to download them via Opera so under your recommendation I flipped over to Firefox and the popped up like a flash so thanks for that.
I am looking forward to giving these a good listen.
My only advice in terms of doing a visual version is avoid any shots of lips moving without speach, it really breaks the mood and is visually jarring (silent movie buffs will note that silent films with spoken scenes without speach cards at regular intervals look very strange).
If you want to keep up with the action replace those shots with conceptual art matching the scene.
On a side note could you use your music editing skills to produce a couple of variations of the Anakin theme which blend in pitch, pace and with element additions of The Imperial March etc, to reflect the change from the innocent boy of Episode One to the near Vader of the middle of Episode 3 (and perhaps even a triumphant version intercut with the Force theme for Anakin redeemed)?
This came up as a suggestion in the Radical Prequel Redux thread but might also come in handy for people re-editing ROTJ.
It would also be nice to have a longer form versions of the Imperial Motiff from ANH and the Droids motiff from ESB (two musical elements which sadly were not revisited in later films).
Thanks for the suggestions. I am sticking to using each film's music for each film's suite. The Imperial Motiff you mention from ANH is actually the Rebellion Motiff, if I remember. The best place that theme was expanded in was the assault on the blockade runner. I tried to create some form of an extended theme, but there wasn't enough variety to create a suitable theme. Unless, of course you are referencing the Death Star motiff, which also doesn't have enough out there to create a theme.
And finally, as for the incredible Droid Motiff from Empire, it has to be one of my favorite themes that isn't really fleshed out, kind of like the Qui-Gon theme from Menace. While I was able to create a nice theme for Qui-Gon, there once again isn't enough Droid motiff in the film, let alone including Jedi to make anything substantial.
I like your ideas about Anakin's theme, and I would love to hear a new triumphant version, but no original music exists to do that. It would certainly be cool, though.
