Mithrandir says it would be cool if you left darth sidious hanged with "sight again", then cut to a Jedi scene, and then when you come back to viceroy and sidious, he's still trying to make the tongue riddle out

I ll miss the first what in these scenes

What do you mean?

He still says "What?"  That's now the last line before I cut to the Jedi and then back to Sidious.

It might be funny if hidden somewhere in the soundscape Harrison Ford yelled out "Yahoo!" every time a character said "What?".

Rough draft of the podrace:

A few notes:
-Audio has hardly been touched, so I still need to do all the transitions, fill in some gaps, etc.
-There's a few flash frames that need to be fixed
-There's a few continuity goofs that need to be fixed
-I need to write a few more subtitles

Other than that, it's reasonably complete.  As usual I'm willing to entertain all suggestions.

Why don't you go squat in a large vat of mayonnaise?

In this case, the longer scene you put in the middle, the more ridiculous effect you get when you get back.

Much, much better frink, thanks for trying it

I tried it.  Didn't really make a difference.

I think Watto's cheers when Sebulba wins should be from him cheering as he's announced.

Why?

Having two characters never leave the starting blocks would spoil both jokes.

I like when Watto yells "SEBULBA!"

*shrug*

 

Oh, not bad.  I just couldn't remember what the difference was.

Can Anakin finally leave the start line just seconds before Sebulba wins?

Maybe...I might throw that together real quick and see how it plays.

Couldn't Quadraneros (?) pod explode much later in the movie?

Have Statler and Waldorf voice the senators in the no confidence hearing (or maybe be the heads of the pod race announcer if it doesn't wreck the work you have already done).

Someone suggested the very end of the movie, and for now I just threw it on the end of the clip to see what it looked like.  I'm thinking maybe just before they leave Tatooine, like right after Ani has his big goodbye with his mom.  Follow a really serious moment with a ridiculous moment.

As far as the announcers go, I haven't decided who to use for the Greg Proops one...I was going to take a look at Fred Willard's dog show announcer from Best in Show.

(Sorry about the audio clipping.  It's a youtube thing which I can remove by lowering the project audio, but on this clip when I lower it enough to remove the clipping, it's really hard to hear the dialogue at the end of the clip)

First part of the video is the same as before, up until the part that Anakin gets going.  I moved that until just before the end of the race, then added more stuff after that.
