tehwallaby said:- A new Sound Mix, complete with the redubs, and new sound effects. Im sorry NEW sound effects, you think you can out do ILM ?
- Appearances of the Neimodians cut down to keep them shadowy and mysterious. They dont need to be shadowy and mysterious, they are a element in Sidious' plan. something to further his objectives. You already have Maul and Sidious doing the shadowy and mysterious thing.
- Scenes where Neimodians do appear may be redubbed, perhaps even in an "alien" language. People have tried this and it has yet to sound good. I wouldnt
- Qui-Gon Jinn's lightsabre will be yellow. why? Actually nvm, just dont do it.
- Scenes with Jar Jar will be toned down, to keep his antics to a minimum. This I support 100% though continual hatred of the prequels by fans and media alike make me like him more everyday, thanks everyone.
- Jar Jar may be redubbed, and his character changed to be more like Threepio.
A Basic Synopsis (with comments about the cuts):
Alternate Opening Crawl - Based off of this.
Negotiations - There are no shots of the Neimodians, you just see all of the Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan parts.
Cut straight to the invasion force on Naboo - Meeting Jar Jar cut to a minimum.
No Otoh Gungah, no planet core.
Dramatic rescue of the Naboo - A few small cuts here and there throughout, making this punchier and faster.
Running the Blockade - Again, trimmed throughout.
Landing on Tattoine - See above.
Visiting Watto's Junkyard - Anakin's lines cut to a minimum, as well as Jar Jar's hijinks.
No fight with Sebulba.
Sheltering At the Skywalker Home - Small cuts, Threepio is built by Anakin but less dialogue by Anakin, conversation about slavery altered slightly, a lot of sections toned down to make Anakin a quiet, contemplative child. All the above just sounds like another shreeding of the prequels by a fan. I am generally against taking things out of the movie, when I see it afterwards it just seems jarring to me. The Prequels dont need to have every moment cut up. Take fart jokes out yes please but the entire movie does not need to be put in a blender.
The Podrace Sequence - Faster, punchier, more action and less shots of the actual racers. Just super-fast pods ripping around the track with explosions all around. No one on the Earth complains about the length of the freeway chase in Matrix reloaded but everyone complains about the podrace. Leave it alone. Im an action junkey and I love and extended action sequence and so do all of you...and you know it.
Anakin Beats Up Greedo - To show his dark side. Subtle use of Imperial March as foreshadowing. I like all of the deleted scenes added back into the movie...with the exception of the waterfall one becuase it adds more Jar Jar, if someone could figure out how to add that back in without Jar Jar it would be awesome.
My Two cents above in bold.
