My Very Minor Upcoming PT Edits

Here's my plans for my upcoming PT edits. These are very humble attempts just for my own satisfaction.

PHANTOM MENACE:
Just taking the Phantom Edit, and putting the real scroll at the beginning. Cutting the times people identify "Darth Sidious" and "Darth Maul"  by name. This is hardly an edit at all.

ATTACK OF THE CLONES
Adding the scroll to "Attack of the Phantom." Reinserting the meadow scene (but not the giant tick riding). I think that's the only scene where those kids actually have chemistry. I might add the scene where Amidala talks to the Queen ("When we stop belieiving democracy can work is when we lose it" is a great line). Also removing the name "Darth Sidious" the two times it is used. Dooku remains "Lord Tyrranus" in the final scene.

REVENGE OF THE SITH
I acutally dug this movie, but I'm going through and cutting lots of what i see as just filler. No content of note, but shots of ships landing, shots of ships taking off, lots of awkward expository dialoge ("Look Buzz droids!"), Yoda leaving Kashyyyk, Obi-Wan docking with the Blockade Runner, and lots of bad-ass posing (Palpy ignites his lightsaber, poses, jumps, poses, kills three jedi, and poses some more). Also removing all refrences to the name "Darth Sidious."  All these small cuts might cut as much as 10 minutes from the runtime.

The only actual "re-editing" except those cuts (none very large) will be resturcting the Windu/Palpy fight and Anakin's arrival. Seriously, Palptine falls down, Anakin RUNS AROUND THE CORNER then starts walking at a medium pace. It kills me. Also adding in the "Birth of the Rebellion" scenes, just cuz I have a crush on Mon Mothma.

He doesn't want anyone to know he is late for the meeting.

Both the "Meadow" scene and "Naboo Queen" scene are already part of the theatrical/DVD cuts of AotC (so "re-inserting" them back in is kinda impossible). :P

I think TheBoost is using The Phantom Editor's edit as his base film, meaning he would have to reinsert the meadow and Naboo Queen scenes that The Phantom Editor took out.

Ah, I see (hopefully he'll take out the part where Anakin and Padme bitch at each other in front of the Queen).

 Probably. I just really, really dig on the "Democracy" line.

 Maybe we need added dialog of him muttering to himself "Calm down. No one will even notice. Be cool."

I always imagined him repeating "you're a winner, you're a winner, you're a winner...."

I'm back to work on these. Finished "TPM," which was so minor as to almost not count as an edit at all.

But as I approach AOTC and ROTS there's one more thing I want to do. Eliminate Duel of the Fates. It just feels forced.

It should be easy in AOTC, as it's all by itself and can just be replaced with something better. Any ideas what to use? There's a Duel of the Fats ripoff on the Force Unleashed soundtrack I might try.

As for ROTS, I think it will be beyond my abilities to even attemp to remove that tune from the Yoda/Palpy fight. I'd have to re-foley the entire thing. It'sa pity, because it's just too over the top musically, and the scene is already way over the top.
