Has anyone tried using shots from the Chronicles of Riddick when the planet is under attack? It's sorta Nabooish.

Yeah but the cinematography is way different.

If you can even call it that. Seems like every shot is wide and sometimes slowly zooms in or out. I don't even think they are dollying a lot of the shots. Just boring, nothing going on shots... But then AOTC they randomly shift to a Saving Private Ryan doc style of shooting. So many inconsistencies I really don't think the Riddick footage could throw it off that much... Probably improve it.

I once thought something like Riddick's night attack on a SW city would've made a great prologue if you did something like Mandalores invading.

But it's also at night.

The problem is this:

So many things in TPM are mentioned but not shown with the Naboo. "My people suffer and die. The death toll is catastrophic, etc".

That RedMedia critique posted a few pages back didn't bring up anything not discussed in the previous 10 years of critiques. But it was a one-stop review covering most of the big problems with the film. It was great for that.

I remember in 1999 discussions on theforce.net about why early IG-88 droids weren't used instead of dump battle droids and why they spoke and sounded so silly when silent and deadly would've worked better, and on and on.

Why instead of Annie asking Qui-Gon about midis, he couldn't have asked about the Sith and who they were, etc.

I truly think the ultimate TPM edit is yet to be made.
