The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread — Page 31

I'm such a terrible jaded film nerd that I really couldn't help but notice but that's part of the fun.

Out of Chekov's ear and almost into Padme's, nice job though, especially the recolouring and light adjustment.

We are the sort of people who bugger up peoples enjoyment of films by pointing out flip shots so not noticing the Ceti Alpha V earwiggy things and the like is unlikely but then I want Edward James Olmos in Jedi so who am I to talk?

While we are on the subject of inserting celebrity cameos into Star Wars films I'm keen to stick Sun Ra onto the Jedi Council too.

OH please! On the purple saber complaints.

And those DARK SIDE clips are pretty amazing!  It goes to show that even with just the editing you can damn near completely alter the feel of the movie.  Add in some different music (I love the add-in of the RAIDERS Marion music) and redub damn near all the voices and we may just have something!

You know, after watching this clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOzZ-MkX27I&feature=channel), is there any way someone could do a reverse TEMPLE OF DOOM (with the bar in Shanghai called OBI WAN) and name the bar MARCUS' PLACE, TYRELL'S or something along that line?

The Lao Che Club, Nurhaci Bar, all good options (even if only Aurebesh readers would know).

Jon Culshaw (famous for his Tom Baker impersonation) also does a really good Alec Guinness : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qT2tPZtcz8

Though I have said that re-colouring isn't that radical a change, there may be one possible exception.

Everyone seems to agree that the TPM puppet was rubbish, but this kind of happened by accident so perhaps someone could try and replicate the effect?

The original is very low in contrast but please give it a go yourself as I said I was actually trying to do something else and it just suddenly started looking like Yoda (of all people).

It would be funny if a colour change could rescue the ugliest puppet in the Star Wars universe.

++UPDATE++

I'm beginning to think this looks more Yodaish because the contrast is too high (it's making those awful eyes actually look dark like the Yoda of old).

Dear Lord it's Denis Healey:

Oh again no, this is Denis Healey.

I've never seen that MTV parody before, worked rather well it did, humm?

The real biggy is the lack of jaw line and cleft chin in the OT Yoda (who built the TPM puppet Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon)?

It doesn't matter what I do I can't get it to look (character wise) quite as right as my accidental effort, this one looks like Jimmy Savile:

with all the prequel edits by other editors i think i'm going to do one episode 2

changes

replacing the scene with ani and pad talking about sand, and the meadow scene (the worst cliche in romance) with the deleted scene of padme's family and room. (i think it kind of makes their chemistry subtle similar to han and leia)

color correcting scenes that are to colorful and bright so it carries an ot feeling (inspired by vaderous manips)

cutting out the scene where ani is trying to get inside padme's pants

making all jedi lightsabers blue except for dooku and yoda's which will be green

dooku is a grey jedi (inspired by jason)

threepio and r2 remain in the ship after ani and padme leaves

this is what i can think of at the moment

anyone know where i can download episode 2 in high quality?

On second thoughts he looks more like Doc Brown, especially with that hair.

"Our intelligence points to disgruntled Libyans looking for some crazy wide eyed scientist."

The puppet is beyond saving by just colouring/lighting adjustment (I just got a bit excited when I saw the puppet looking a bit more like Yoda).

Whoever you get to impersonate Alec Guinness, I think that he should try to impersonate the voice of Alec Guinness in an earlier work, when he was younger. I think that the tone of voice that Obi-Wan uses as Luke's mentor would be inappropriate for most of the prequels, as he is not in that role and in other circumstances.

If you watch films like "The Man In The White Suit" Alec Guinness' voice didn't change that much as he got older and in that film he is playing a young, slightly naive but altruistically driven man, learning a trade that most people don't understand (rather like learning to be a Jedi).

Redubbing will look fake.

it always does.

Dubbing Ewan to sound more like Alec is a bit to radical a change for me ;-)

Very little dialogue recorded on set or on location actually ends up in the majority movies so most of it is technically redubbed (including the Star Wars movies as they currently exist).

It might be interesting to see (or rather hear) someone attempt it, but I can imagine it going very wrong if done badly.

I always thought Ewan did a fantastic job.

He and Ian (and Liam for TPM) saved the Prequels of being a total failure.

Would it be possible to completely remove the end ground battle on Naboo and just have two exciting battles in Space and the lightsaber battle.
