In regards to Ripplin getting the HQ version: I planned on getting his full input on this as I've come to highly respect his opinion on this subject. I figured it might not be fair for people to not see it but I also didn't want to release it in HQ now so people download this and only this. It's 700mb. It's a fast download and better suited for Mp3 players. Be happy you even got this because the full release isn't even planned until December.
In regards to the Jawa and R2 scene: This scene gave me trouble cause I wanted to have them seem scary and all but then I was getting some music bleed. I'll see if I can get fluent music throughout their whole appearance. Music suggestions for this scene would be HIGHLY appreciated.
In regards to the sepia fading: I think this is a brilliant idea and I think I might just do this!!!
In regards to the factory scene and cutting out PT plot info: It gets difficult to cut certain scenes because sure I could cut much of the factory scene but the music is way to loud and difficult to work with and I need to show them captured. I'll see what I can do or maybe have them get cornored or something and then cut to them being brought in to the arena or in front of dooku and then the arena. Also, I tried cutting all the plot I could to keep AOTC to a minimum but the plot for AOTC is so convoluted it's difficult to cut something without confusing people who haven't scene Star Wars before. I got rid of the cloners of kamino storyline with difficulty as I had to work around a lot of plot holes. Suggestions in this area would be HIGHLY appreciated. Please use the outline on page one and the low quality video for reference.
Again, no need to get offended over a low quality video. I find a lot of people on these boards are perfectionists. The version for them will be out in December as I had promised a long time ago. This is like watching a leaked work print of a movie that isn't in theatres yet. If you are VERY curious to see the way it was edited and the scenes used and you cannot wait, then watch this. If you're a perfectionist and you want uber goodness then wait. Plain and simple. Don't bash Ripplin, and don't bash me. I asked for your opinion on the edit itself not for you to blatently insult me or tell me that this is the worst edit ever. I spent time to make this edit and you aren't forced to watch it. If you feel this edit is being repair then go make your own. Otherwise, if you are actually interested in the success of this edit, please leave your feedback as others have done and we can all work towards a good edit, together. Does that sound fair?
