Just like in AOTR, this edit will feature the death of a beloved major character. Don't open if you don't want to know.

Well who can blame you?

Yeah, I thought about the blaster after I uploaded it.  I think I will change it.

No death rattle, however.  I like the timing (shot/pause/fall) as is.

If I can figure out how to do it.

I could change the sound effect to a phaser ;-)

They?  It was a reference to Spock firing the phaser in TRM.  But yeah, a motive would be nice.

By the way, your Roberto suggestion was so brilliant.  I'm having endless fun editing the bridge scene right now. :-)

Deleted scene, maybe.  Bodyguards, yes.

I just had a thought that you could use some Jake Loyd lines from Jingle All the Way for Anakin.  He could be begging for a Powerman doll or whining at Obi-wan saying, "What do you know about being a Dad?"  I dunno.  Probably would have been better for TRM.

Already suggested back when I was doing TRM.

Nah.  Already chose to use Roberto.

Instead of Palpatine explaining to Anakin who Darth Plagueis is, he says this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVXSDzaevjc

Meh.

When Anakin is in front of the Jedi council, Mace Windu says line from the "Say what again!" scene from pulp fiction. Here's the scene:

• MACE: Anakin Skywalker, we have approved your appointment to the Council as the Chancellor’s personal representative.
• ANAKIN: I will do my best to uphold the principles of the Jedi Order.
• YODA: Allow this appointment lightly, the Council does not. Disturbing is this move by Chancellor Palpatine.
• ANAKIN: I understand.
• MACE: You are on this Council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master.
• ANAKIN: What? ! How can you do this?? This is outrageous, it’s unfair . . . I’m more powerful than any of you. How can you be on the Council and not be a Master?
• MACE: Take a seat, young Skywalker.
• ANAKIN: Forgive me, Master.

Here's the new edited scene. At the end, Mace has a few more words added into his "take a seat" line. The words can be takes from anywhere in Pulp Fiction where Jackson says the words. They have [] around them.

• MACE: Anakin Skywalker, we have approved your appointment to the Council as the Chancellor’s personal representative.
• ANAKIN: I will do my best to uphold the principles of the Jedi Order.
• YODA: Allow this appointment lightly, the Council does not. Disturbing is this move by Chancellor Palpatine.
• ANAKIN: I understand.
• MACE: You are on this Council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master.
• ANAKIN: What?
• MACE: What country you from!
• ANAKIN: What?
• MACE: "What" ain't no country I know! Do they speak English in "What?"
• ANAKIN: What?
• MACE: English-motherfucker-can-you-speak-it?
• ANAKIN: What?
• MACE: Say "What" again! C'mon, say "What" again! I dare ya, I double dare ya motherfucker, say "What" one more goddamn time!
• ANAKIN: What?
• MACE: [Shit!] Take a [goddamn fucking] seat, young [motherfucker] Skywalker.
• ANAKIN: Forgive me, Master.

 

You are not the first to suggest using Pulp Fiction.  However, you are the first to suggest that specific exchange (as far as I can remember).  I like it!

Thank you TV's Frink!

Just finished TRM and am looking forward to ROTR now!

I'm a HUGE fan of the 'repeat it until it's funny, then keep repeating until it's not funny, then go on repeating til it's funny again' school of comedy.

Becase of this the phrases 'What!', 'You catch on pretty quick', 'now there are two of them' and especially 'your majesty' are now my favourite bits in TPM (Also obi-wan third person).

I was however disapointed that you hadn't exploited the comedy potential of extending Ewan McGregor's "Noooooo" moment further than it was in the original theatrical cut ;-)

Keep up the good work

Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you liked it.  AOTR is now available if you want to check that out as well.

Thanks but I'm sure I can pull them from my DVD of either Khan or First Contact.

Is it too much to hope for the face of Kong to be pushed against the window of the Jedi Council chamber at some point?

Or if not how about the face of a giant Spock?
