Ok, update time. This time I'm going to be honest with some bad news and good news.

First the bad news

No the edit is not complete. At the moment its sitting at around 95% done. Again everything remaining is effect shots.
Dealing with 1080p is making it hard to get the effects to come off as not standing out. The shots are getting done but
it takes time to get them right.

Also I'm sad to say that there will be no more preview clips other than the clip I'll be posting today. While I enjoy sharing my work with everyone I also want my work to remain as different as possible when it's done. Also nothing compares to the pain in my heart when the video hosting site decides to blast them all to hell.

Now onto the good news

I've been lying for awhile now.

Part of the reason my Ep 3 edit is not done yet is because I've also been working on Ep 1 and 2 at the same time. The reason being that I always planned on doing them, but I wouldn't expect any one to watch part 3 and then later want to watch the other 2 films once I got around to doing them. Also I didnt want to have to go back and redo Reign of the Darkside if when I got around to the other films and then decided something didnt work out story wise.

At the time of this post Episode 1 is about 50% done while Episode 2 is right about 90% done.

Episode 1 is proving to be the most difficult for sure. Alot of voice work needs to be done. I'm attempting to not have to redub Jar Jar and keep him being a respectable character as you'll see toward the end of the clip below. Alot of turning Mesa's into Me's and Okeyday's into Ok's. I'm also bringing Padmes voice closer to match her voice in Episode 2 and 3. I posted a rougher cut of this clip on another thread. This one is longer and alittle more toward a final product. Still needs some smoothing around the edges tho. Alot of political talk was cut also to quicken up the pace. Most of that will be covered in the opening crawl and later in the film.

Again, thanks to everyone who's shown interest in the edit and to those who helped me out along the way.
