Worst Edit Ideas — Page 7

Or we could replace Boba Fett's original voice with Temuera Morrison's, the guy who plays Jango in AOTC and ROTS??

Those would be the worst ideas ever!

Um, Boba is Jango's CLONE. Meaning that they would have an identical voice. That's one change I agree with.

Find me two identical twins brought up on different sides of the world with the same accent and I might re-enter that debate.

There's a thought, what if all the clones in the PT had different accents.

Any chance to show this :

In fact replacing the Destroyer droids with Daleks would be cool too.

Since when are accents genetic?

Boba Fett is NOT a clone.  This is apocryphal, a myth designed to destroy the integrity of the original movies.  He does not have an australian accent, nor do the stormtroopers (who are not clones either).

This is largely due to the fact that it is a lame idea, and that Jason Wingreen's vocal delivery kicks ass, while the replacement sucks ass through a straw.

Well, Boba Fett is now a clone, of Jango. But all this hogwash about identical voices is ridiculous. There is no reason a clone, who was seperated from his father aged 10, would sound exactly like him. Sure, he could sound like him, but not necessarily.

Oh, and for the record, it's a New Zealand accent, not Australian.

Replace all the Stormies voices with Kiwi accents, that's a good one (I hope Lucas isn't listening).

I would like to say that I am wholly against de-purpleing Mace Windu's lightsaber!

Gl's final Blu-ray version includes changes to the OT to match the PT:-

ANH:
In Mos Eisley, as they approach the cantina, 3PO steps in some Ronto poo
All the stormtroopers are re-dubbed with Morrison's voice
Mark Hamill is hired to provide new dialogue that turns Luke into the Ric Olie of the OT. Eg.
    "Oh look. Stormtroopers. And it looks like they are going to stop us"
    "Oh look. Obi-wan has cut his arm off"
    "Oh look. It's yavin 4. This is the secret base of the rebel alliance"
    "Oh look. There's leia. And it looks like she is going to give us medals. Well maybe not you, Chewie"
An extended lightsabre fight with Obi-Wan and Vader replaced by CG so Obi-Wan can now do back-flips and they can both twirl their   lightsabres for 5 minutes without making contact.
Biggs is removed from the movie and replaced with jar jar and the deleted scenes at Anchorhead are restored with the new character.
      "Meesa gonna jump ship. meesa gonna join the rebel alliance, Luke".

ESB:
The taun-Taun farts when it becomes nervous
The AT-At's are replaced with 40ft CG snowmen that throw snowballs at the rebels instead of firing lasers, to be more child friendly and also to coincide with the Hasbro cuddly Imperial snowman range of toys
Yoda become CG and floats around on his hovver-board instead of being carried on Luke's back
Chewie no longer strangles Lando but instead happy slaps him few times while filming it on his mobile to appeal to the youtube  audience

ROTJ:
The rancor is removed and replaced by the CG monster from Cloverfield
All of jabbas court are replaced by Disney characters for the new tie-in range of toys
The Sarlaac beak is removed and replaced by a giant sphincter and now farts instead of burps and has giant haemorrhoids instead of tentacles
The Mon Calamari are replaced with gungans. Admiral Acbar now becomes Admiral Acbarbar
The ewoks no longer use weapons but instead tickle and hug the Imperials into submission
New Ewok characters added including Barbie ewok, Lego Ewok and Ewok Bratz to again coincide with a new range of merchandise
All communicators are replaced by the latest iPhone
As Luke is brought before the Emperor he walks over to Luke, pricks his finger and analyses his blood - " The force is strong with you, young skywalker. Your Midichlorian count is off the scale. Much like your fathers"
The ewok celebration is again changed. This time Ewoks, played by Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears, perform a benefit concert.
Luke and leia begin to glow as millions of tiny creatures appear:- the midichlorians come to party
Sebastian Shaw's ghost is replaced by a creepy looking Hayden Christensen (please tell me this didn't actually happen and its just a bad nightmare i had)

 

Damn!  You really thought this through didn't you?  Besides having lists of what you'd like to see, you must have a bigger list than this of what you don't like to see, eh?

I say dub the characters with the voices from the Muppets...and I love the idea of a cockney R2 - make him all rhyming slang and have subs. 

Have the, "look sir droids" stormie the Ric Olie of the original trilogy (you could even dub him with Ralph Brown's voice from various other films)....

Stormie to Obi Wan: "You’re looking very beautiful man. St Peter preached the epistles to the apostles looking like that. Have you got any food?"

Luke:" I’ve got a saveloy"

Obi-Wan:"And it's for sale if you want one"

Stormy to Luke: "How much is it?"

Luke : "You can have it for nothing."

Ben rolls his eyes. 

Stormy 2: "Bit early in the morning for festivities isn't it sir?"

Ben points to droids and the vainly to Luke: "They're not mine, they belong to him" 

Stormy 2: "You're drunk"

Ben : "I assure you I'm not officer, I've only had a few ales"

Stormy 2: "Out of the speeder please Sir."

Ben does not move, the Stormtrooper pulls him abruptly & Ben spills out then stands against the speeder, propping himself up - the Stormy offers him a breath test.

Stormy 2: "Would you fill this bag please sir?"

Ben waves his hand : "I don't need to fill this bag" 

Stormy 2: " Are you refusing to fill this bag?"

Ben : "I most certainly am"

Stormy 2 : "I'm placing you under arrest."

Ben : "Don't be ridiculous I haven't done anything. Listen, my cousin's a QC"

Stormy 3 who has up to this point been silent: "GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN!!" 

Sometime later Ben, Luke and the droids wander out of a trooper station.

Luke : "I don't know how we got arrested. I thought the Force could have a strong influence on the weak-minded?"

Ben : "I feel like a pig shat in my head."

Luke gestures to the cantina : "Do you really think we're going to find a pilot here? "

Ben : "Here's the plan. First, we go in there and get wrecked, then we eat a pork pie, then we drop some Surmontil-50's each. That way we'll miss out on Monday and come up smiling Tuesday morning."

I don't know, I enjoy watching What's Up Tiger Lilly? without worrying about the lip sync.

A great number of Star Wars fans grew up with the dubbed versions and it only adds to the 'Worst' bit of the thread title.

I grew up watching Saiyuki or Monkey! as it was known in it's British dubbed version as well as Le Manège enchanté or The Magic Roundabout in it's English language version and in both of those cases the dubs were made by actors fully in on the joke and much better for it.

Some of the early Jackie Chan films were much funnier in the dubbed versions too and often the actors seemed to know what they were up to (especially in Project A where English dialogue was dubbed into English and still out of sync).

If only I had the time to redub an entire film like that.

I'd try to keep the same voices, but do things like Yoda with Grover lines, Solo has tons of options with all the Harrison Ford movies I could toy with, Luke could get lines from Guyver or that car movie from the 70's... something Summer I think...

Corvette Summer...

How about attempting to turn the Uzay blister cards into scenes in the movies (a giant calculator in the superlaser control room would be mega cool) :

P.S. I think Blue Stars could actually work in a Star Wars film:

The Uzay stuff is great. Reminds me of my Space Power Warrior. (Vader knock-off) I'll have to take a pic of it sometime. Got it at the dollar store. :)

Oh, so many Darth Phonies to choose from (no not just Jake and Hayden):

If only we could get them all in one scene, it would be the cat fight of the century.
