Has there been any joke about Obi-Wans fake looking hair between shots?

Can you tell me what you put in the bonus features when you're done?

Ok, I'll tell you now...at the moment, the plan is to just do "deleted scenes," which would be some ideas that I ended up not using. But that would be for the DVD-5, which will be released first. After that, I'm thinking of recording a commentary and putting it on a DVD-9.

I like the idea of a commentary, if it's funny. But knowing you, it probably would be.

So, I recently found this little thing I did ages ago that I thought was lost forever, but turns out it wasn't. And I thought about your edit, Frink. Could you possibly be interested in an "a cappella" rendition of the 20th Century Fox Fanfare? Does this sound ridiculous enough to you?


Alternatively I could modify it into having Ric Olié singing the Cinemascope Extension ("Look over theeeeere, look over theeeeere, look over theeeeeeere!!")

Leo, do me a favor and send me a PM so I remember to check it out later.  Thanks.

Strangely, I'm not sure it would be terribly funny.  I had pictured it as more of an informational track explaining the various memes, inside jokes, sources used, and so on.  Maybe some thoughts on how or why I did things, stuff I learned...wow, that sounds really self-important. ;-)

So, it's just like a commentary track then. ;-)

I'd be interested in whatever you put together.

That would also be interesting.

You should post some clips from the commentary so I can see it. (there's a reason why I can't just download the edit, but I don't want to get into that right now.)

The recent clips are great.  Laughed out loud at a few.

I was just wondering - would it be possible to somehow extend the shot of everyone looking at the camera after Padme drops the baby bomb on the Viceroy?  I think a slightly longer pause before cutting to Maul and Obi-Wan would increase the funnyosity by at least a factor of 10.

I suppose it would be possible by using slo-mo, but I think it's fine the way it is.

If you've been following the thread for a long time, you'll remember greenpenguino's clips where he added some music to Maul's speederbike and a Ronto to the lightsaber duel.  Lately I've been working on redoing the audio in 5.1, but I also sprinkled in a few extra jokes based on some old suggestions:

If you recognize any of the jokes as your idea, please let me know so I don't forget to put you in the credits.

What happened to the R5 unit and the trombone?  I cried laughing.  Leave it out and I'll just cry.

If possible, this will still be in the edit.

I just had an idea, in a shot where someone is approaching a computer screen where someone else is "working", wouldn't it be funny if it has some suggestive content that "just disappears", like the ALT+TAB is hit? Or just a game of Solitaire?

Author

I like the game of Solitaire idea, but probably not enough to spend time on it.  In all honesty, I'm getting sick of working on this damn thing.  I'd like to be able to release it at some point ;-)

Maybe suggest it again on the next one.

As cool as that Maul fight stuff is, the shots are heavily compressed. And it's not just youtube, as when I went from 360 to 480 it was still pretty bad.
