I’m working on an edit to trim down and turn the 2003 clone wars cartoon series into a movie that hopefully has a presentation that matches stylistically with the rest of the series.
As my skills aren’t exactly exceptional or anything, this won’t be a terribly radical edit, so no color correcting or anything like that.
Here are my plans so far for it:
-
add opening crawl and pan down scene reminiscent of the other films.
-
remove the opening montage, as well as the scenes with Kit Fisto on Mon Kalamari, Yoda saving the two Jedi on Ilum, and Mace Windu fighting the droids on Dantooine. These all are completely self contained segments that don’t impact the overall story, and while they’re fun to watch in their own right, I feel they disrupt the story too much to leave in a “film” version.
-
remove the briefing scene, and everything leading up to the battle on Muunilist. After the opening crawl, the camera will simply pan down to the Republic Fleet coming out of hyperspace toward Muunilist. Will probably use some info from the briefing scene in the new crawl.
-
probably some other minor cuts here and there
-
My most radical idea: considering replacing Grievous’s voice with one that better matches his portrayal in ROTS. Perhaps using voice samples form video games or the CG cartoon?
I know it’s not much, and I know that people have attempted it before (seeing ADigitalMan’s version inspired me to make this one actually), but I just want something a little more streamlined and comfortable to watch in one sitting.
Any suggestions/comments are welcome, thanks.
