Apart from validating the "high ground" issue, I don't see how any of that fixes anything.....the action set pieces are not the problem really. A few lightsaber battles could be cut down in length.....but the real problems lay elsewhere.
Agreed, just fiddling about as an exercise.... But the action pieces are a major problem, most action scenes have stupid stuff in it like a cartoon that is a massive problem and Film breaker.
Some of the talk get's pretty boring in it and does not go anywhere, and they then re-iterate what they just said in the last scene in the next.
Some of the dialogue is very badly written... What I am doing is slightly making it better.... But I am only editing fast and in rough to flesh out my ideas.... And to see what is there.
The Lars Homestead is probably the worst scene there is so far In AOTC as C3-PO not only just being there but the lines are terrible and completely ruin any sadness or wonderment or, well any mood what so ever. But it's a totally needed scene so you can not just eliminate it.
I have not figured that bit out yet but I am making progress, in making it feel like it is more real.
That is the trick to the prequels... It don't feel real.... Instead of sucking you in it spits you out of any immersion in the movie at regular intervals unlike the OT... It is that immersion level that is missing for the most part
