OK- I got them out today.
wow...just wow. amazing. Just got mine in the mail today and watched it. It's just a fantastic project. Certainly very rough, feels a bit like a workprint, not all of your choices I agree with, but I mean, you totally changed the mood and emotion of the film. It WORKS now! I mean wow...wow. If you need any help with anything, voice acting or otherwise, let me know, I may be able to help at some point. I'd comment on some specific sections, but I just want to let everyone see it first. I'll tell you I had a smile on my face when the clone troopers first showed up in battle. The music choices are interesting, they are definitely an improvement over the film's often bland OST but a lot of it feels TOO old. Like beyond star wars 77 old, like it belongs in a foreign film from the 40s or something. Same with the editing, a lot of it disregards continuity for emotion which I'm not sure is very Star Wars. The film feels older, it feels rawer and it works dramatically but I'm not sure if it feels like Star Wars, it doesn't feel 80s at all. I think this is definitely closer to what George wanted with the whole "classic romance" thing because it's much more sincere than the original. but again, wow. most ambitious edit ever and on all accounts it succeeds!
