Battle over Coruscant color corrected as per Angels request. This is for my Reign of the Dark Side Edit.
This was my first crack at it, angel. What do you think?
Removed as much yellow as I could. Also toned down some blue.

Again, this was just a quick version. I'll prob do alot more detail work before release.

Removing as much of the yellow this battle has :)

Fancy that the only "masks" i used was for the SD engine.. :P

I Promised to SSWR that someday i will find a way work on those shots :)

 Nice! Now to make it feel more OT just remove about half of the ships and bring those stars out from the background! ;)

It is meant to be a major deployment of well equipped and maintained fleets in a different era fighting over the capital of the Republic so if it doesn't look exactly OT that's fine (in the OT we had one well well equipped and more advanced force fighting a bunch of Rebels with aging ships held together on a wing and a prayer usually in combat in the middle of nowhere)

Bobgarcia74, I love the title of your edit. Perfect alternative for those who resent the use of the word 'Sith' in the prequels (when it wasn't heard once in the OT)

Also, perfect cut of the Dooku acrobatics! :D

How about these X-wing variants?

Not different enough for the PT in my opinion. I still think the z95 Headhunter or Y Wings with all their armour plating intact would be ideal to replace those horrendous looking ships in ROTS (I forget what they're called)

Here's an experiment I did in tweaking Vader's infamous "Noooooo!" scene in ROTS. Let me know what you think. Sorry for the crap video and audio, I'm too lazy to rip any more DVDs ATM.

I know Hayden's acting is wooden, but this is ridiculous ;)

 I was looking around and so happened to come across this, its like a cross between the ARC 170 and the X-wing

sansfi said: Another idea about the music. While facing Dooku, the music? starts when Obi-Wan gets knocked out, and feels too obvious like "hey, audience, NOW pay attention because this is important"...
I guess it would be HARD to edit this, but maybe the music should start while Dooku is talking to Anakin about hate, it will enter in a more subtle way and will really make emphasis on what is important.

For editors who want to keep the idea Dooku not being a Sith but a rogue Jedi it might make sense if somehow Dooku could sound almost appreciative of Anakin not using his hate and anger but dissing his fear.

Not sure how that would work but if anyone has ideas.

I'd love to see a mix of JasonN's and bobgarcia74's approaches to that scene.

Yeah Bingowings. I wish there was more dialogue in that scene to work with, or footage. With just more footage I'd be able to maybe swap in some lines from other movies or something.

Considering it's the last words of one of the main villains in Episode 2, it should have been alittle more than what it was.

As it stands about the only thing I could see being done differently would be to  reorder the delivery of the lines.

**Sabers clash***

You have hate, you have anger, (Maybe edit in "Skywalker" here) but you dont use them.

*Shot of Palpatine*

I sense great Fear in you, Skywalker (taking out the Skywalker line)

*Anakin goes into his rage attack.

Doing this would require flipping the screen so that both actors are standing where they need to be. Then the background would need to be replaced so that everything in the room behind them would  be correct.

Not sure it would be worth the effort. But maybe editing the tone of the lines would work.

 

Anyone else got any ideas?

Could work :)

Yeah, that's perfect. :D

Hmmm. Maybe you should watch some Christopher Lee movies, if there some dialoge to be used for you're edit.

I was not really planning at the moment on adding anything to my edit audio wise for that scene.

I was more-so replying to  Bingowings post about changing Dooku lines to make him seem less like a Sith.

On the other hand.  I'm sure by the time I'm done editing I'll borrow some dialogue from a few other flicks. Lord of the Rings most likely.

There is a lot of good lines from the first meeting with Gandalf in Fellowship that could work. He tries to get him to join him in a way that sounds like he is a good guy.

"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

You might be able to construct something from the Clone Wars too.

Even wasseesface from the series sounds reasonably Dookuish to snatch a few words from.

Who plays Dooku in the Bounty Hunter game cut scenes (they were rather good)?

didnt christopher lee voice dooku in the clone wars movie?

Yes he did. I remember because Confusedmatthew did a review and was dumbfounded by his flat line delivery.

My God It's Full Of Stars.

 

Actually this could serve as an interesting alternate concept for Geonosis replace the dome with their nests and the planet rings with an asteroid field and suddenly the place looks less like Mars/Tatooine and more like the moon, you could even have the occasional fire ball of a meteorite entering the atmosphere (it would still need one but it could be eternally night).

I use to be on board with the idea of Dooku just being a rogue Jedi... Well, I still love the idea...I even went as far as doing lightsaber tests. http://vimeo.com/7070492

But through my tinkering I decided there isn't enough to back that idea up. There should be a "Aha" moment where the Jedi realize Dooku was right all along, but there isn't... The only way this TRULY works is if this scene exists. And by forcing it like I was trying to do only makes the Jedi look even stupider that they NEVER acknowledge the truth about Dooku. Am I wrong?

 Hmmm...Perhaps there might be a place in ROTS where we could peice together a line for Obi-wan: "Dooku was right all along."   ?

I mean one line is better than no line... It's just frustrating... Lucas had a golden opportunity to have some fun there... All the pieces were there, it would have been EASY..... But no....

And we are left with only the pieces that were there after he got through with it... Which isn't much.
