Is it possible to alter the pronunciation of Dooku? *cringe*

Oh I here that!

sat trough most of ep 2 last night & while waiting to get my hair cut, 

all I could do is think, if remove that line & deepen his voice & alter that scene 

it actually makes for fun viewing

To clarify, I meant pronouncing Dooku more like "Doku" (as in "Japanese for Poison")

Dooku in greek means that when you pay directly with cash :P

Jabba means free :)

well AOTC could be like the Prisoner of Azkaban of STAR WARS. without voldemort (sith subplot) the characters all evolved a little, and it was like the intermission before thngs started getting darker. also in ROTS, if the jedi are percieved to be becoming corrupt, palaptine springing the sith on anakin could perhaps seem like a positive thing? (i think ID was talking about this earlier)

id like to see all the PT sabers turned to blue for jedi (just thought to mention that again for the hundredth time) if dooku is rogue, then i guess he could take any colour, but blue may be used. i liked him with yellow in magnolia fan's edition. maybe we should make a screenshot gallery of his many sabers.

an alternative is have dooku as a sith, but not revealed in AOTC, perhaps by shifting ROTS around, and somehow having it revealed at the beginning of it, maybe having that final scene of AOTC with dooku and sidious put at the beginning, but enstead of coruscant, it is somewhere else, maybe a huge battlefleet.

does the EPIII computer game have a different opening to the film?

 This sounds promising. I'm still hung up on the whole color lightsaber thing...I can't decide if I like the idea of changing whats already there in the films...but still some cool thoughts!

And moving the Dooku/Palps scene to ROTS? VERY interesting! Although the line: "...the war has begun" seems a little obvious...unless it's used in another context...

The only thing I diagree with is having Yoda say 'I Agree' immediately after Palpy says '...the situation is that serious'. I miss the funny look Yoda gives him.

 Thanks for the feedback, 007! :)

I've never liked that shot of Yoda. All of the muscles in his face never stop moving!...?

And WHY is Yoda concerned about Palpatine suggesting this at all? He's wanting to protect Padme. Of course, it turns out that he was trying to put Padme with Anakin blah blah...

I always thought that when Palpy finished Padme's sentence, Yoda looked at Palpy as if to say/think "WTF?...finished Padme's sentence he just did, the force he is using?" (yes, Yoda even thinks in 'Yoda-ese', lol).

So, it's not 'the plan' that Yoda is concerned about, it's Palps possible knowledge of the force that he's concerned about.

:) Just my 1.99 cents worth.

 

I don't know...people finish each others sentences all the time in the real world ya know? But I see what you're saying  ;)

Thought this video might stir up a few things ;)

It's rough but what do ya think?

-Tried making Anakin a likeable guy.

-I've removed the first part of the Palpy office scene thinking (*IF* it should even be used) it could be moved to later in the film.

-Oh! And why the hell does Palpy have to be behind EVERY plot point?! I've removed any sort of reference to that.

-I still don't know what to do with the Jedi and Padme conversation...

A minor thing, but I'd lose "who's trying to kill you" in the apartment scene, to avoid unnatural conversation repetition.
 
i.e.
 
Padme: "I want to know who's trying to kill me"
Anakin" We will find out who's trying to kill you, Padme"

 

 

Yes! Thank you! I hated the way I had it! :D

I Like the clip. Anakin dont be an ass as usual.

I didnt like the last part of the extra scenes that can explained by the later dialogue.

Keep it up.

-Angel

Thank you Angel. Are you referring to the Jedi-and-security-searching-the-building-scene? Yeah...just an idea...hoping it might build a little tension...

I have to disagree with Angel here, I really liked what you did there.

I was thinking about the idea of more senators being killed and a bomb going off in a senate meeting and I had an idea for a scene...

Palpatine: "May I remind the...blah blah...peace is our objective here. Not war."

-bomb goes off in the building blowing up a pod (or two) and killing the senators

-hologram appears (as if the security has been hijacked) of Dooku's face

Dooku: "The republic cannot be fixed. It is time to start over."

-reactions from the senate

-close up of Palps

-wipe to Palps office "I will not let this republic be split in two."

Something like that...what do you think?

:o

make

it

happen

 

 Thank you for the complement, DarthBo. And it's funny you want to see that scene...

*note* it may take a minute or two...I've just uploaded it.

A W E S O M E sir!

also an idea for a more menacing dooku: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqGBt0124bY

Oops! In my youtube video I credited Bingowings...Sorry ben_danger! For some reason I got your names mixed up in my head! :D

meh, were both british. just seen it though, its really great! i could imagine the explosion being huge, but only if we had perhaps seen a montage of similar terrorist attacks. maybe padme's could included, but we assume that she is blown up in the ship.

 

the dooku hologram is pretty cool! in regards to alternative dialogue for the RoTS possible dooku/sidious opening, perhaps something from the clone wars could be used.

 

another thought too, in regards to dookus name, how many time is 'dooku' actually mentioned throughout he whole film? if its not many, then perhaps changing wouldnt be too hard?

 Glad you liked it!

A montage might be possible...or maybe that could be described in the opening crawl? It would obviously be better if shown though....speaking of the opening crawl...what do you think it should say as far as the seperatists are concerned?

Yeah, I guess I should get around to seeing the clone wars movie  :P

Pretty good job.
I like it. :)

Thats the trick that PT doing with the copckit shots which i like. The shot has all the time diagonal lines and never straight as the OT. That brings the conclusion how the PT should look. More calm and retro ot more closeups to the panels.

ALso in the second clip, i d like to see more the face of jango because is (and) a character fight. ;)

The color is a bit boosted up but is good

-Angel

I use the same tools as you are using just in photoshop. Hue saturation, color balance and layer mods are the things i m using. Plus some masks if the result isnt convicing ;)

Just had a thought, now that the scene of yoda looking at Palps with the "what you up to?" look

put it later on when they are discussing the emergency powers amendment in his office

Okay so Ive decided to create an article on my website that will be an exhuastive look at all changes made to Star Wars since initial release. I thought I would start by watching the '77 release. Something that I have not done since the SE was released. All of which has nothing to do with what I am about to say. lol

However while watching Star Wars I noticed a continuity problem with the Xwing cockpit. There are two radically different cockpits of Luke's xwing seen in the film. Theres the version that has been posted here many times while he is flying. And then theres the one when he is getting in or out of the Xwing on the ground. Look at the center especially. Nothing like the one during inflight.

I just found that funny with all the talk about cockpits lately.

 I actually made a version of that some time ago. If that shot of Yoda gets used...I think that would be a good place...

got carried away.

had a tinker with obiwan/jango fight in geonosis.

though one thought is to maybe have this scene as he is approaching kamino, as if they are protecting the secret from him.

Just a little thing: shouldn't SLAVE-1 have BLUE engines?  Just a nit...

 I'm digging your style ben_danger...I think we're on similar wave lengths :)

Ya know what might help this fight? IF Jango were to be redubbed you could add him saying a thing or two to Obi over the intercom thingy (like in ROTJ)...

Man, I still hate alot of those CGI shots in this film...the camera and the ships are zooming around all over the place...there's no real weight to them...IMHO  :D
