How would you know no one has it?  I mean, sure, you know you don't have it, and your relatives, although you can't definitively say, since they could be hiding it under their mattresses, which is stupid because you won't earn any interest if you don't park it in a bank, although the way banks are going these days, you'd probably not be able to get it back...

Hang on...

...m'kay, I'm back.  I didn't find it.  But I did find a second mattress.  It might be under that one.

fishmanlee, maybe next time you should make your own thread, so we can spam up that one instead of this one.

I actually liked the Anything Goes part of Temple of Doom. It was the 1930's after all. Things were like that buddy.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

 Fishmanlee did you comment yourself on youtube? jedimasterfisher? fishmanlee? smells very fishy to me. If you did comment yourself that makes you 100% troll. At the moment your about 98%! Just one more crude crappy sound edited youtube video to finish yourself off.

About this bad "jedi rocks" music, it's interesting to know what was the idea behind the other musical numbers we don't hate (I think):

-for the cantina band: imagine aliens from the future finding old records of early jazz of the 30's and trying to play these strange music with their future instruments and musical culture…

-for the tune "Jabba baroque recital" it's the same idea applied to baroque music (obviously)

In doth case the model is old enough in our culture the be beyond old fashion, if you take my meaning.

For a new music to replace "jedi rocks" one could follow the same reasoning, just a though…

Agreed, I think I said a similar thing a couple pages back. By choosing a musical style that's already dated, we can make it sound good and give it a more timeless quality — if it's already aged well, it's likely to continue to do so. Choosing a more contemporary style means we've no idea how well it will age and it can date very quickly.

I actually like it better Jaitea. It flows well too. The CGI scene originally seemed like a bad music video slapped into the movie, but now it works.

I for one can't stand either song and the CGI is just as awful as the original puppet.

For me Jabba is like all the corpulent sultans and kings that Frank Thring used to play and the sequence should be a space opera version of the sort of debauched dance routines seen in Biblical epics, more Salome and less rubber lips and CGI tonsils.

What's needed is a Star Wars take of something like the latter end of this :

(Be Warned the very ending has busty substances)

However the sequence was edited together well, it still leaves Jedi looking like the silly cousin of the superior first two films and really the film deserves something that fits the mood but doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like either tune and either band.

@ Jaitea: I agree Lapti Nek isn't as bad as Jedi Rocks, but it's not that great either, IMO. Anyway the link you posted is quite good, it's no doubt better than the SE.

Anyway I think we should go away from the whole musical/Broadway like thing.
It's too old-fashioned and corny. We need to go back to something that sound ancient, out of time (if you take the nuance), after all, Star Wars is meant to have occurred a long time ago, right?

@Bingowings: that my friend is amazing, a good point to start from.

I think taking Oola back to the center of the scene in an mysterious/Oriental/Spanish/sensual/lustful kind of dance would be a good idea.
Plus Oola is a beloved character among the fans (why do you think everybody like Aalya Secura ;), she's sexy, she could dance like the Salomé in your vid.
In fact the whole Sultan thing fits like a glove to Jabba, isn't it?

There's a subterranean night club in Edinburgh which holds burlesque and exotic dance competitions and resembles to a degree the layout of Jabba's throne room.

I wonder if they would be interested in helping with providing dancers which would be tastefully exotic and alien in a non cheesy way (exotically grotesque would be fine too Yarna d'al' Gargan fits the scene just as much as Oola).

They could even be filmed there and added to the existing footage.

 NO WAY.  More Fat Dancer, or get out!
