I am interested to hear any and all of your ideas, man. I sympathize with not feeling up to tackling a fan edit. I, fortunately, am in the process of doing a set right now. I'd love to give more ideas a hearing!
Awesome! Well, to start off simply, Episode 4 would probably get the least amount of treatment, because Adywan's already done such a superb job, there isn't much from his version that I would change. Only things I would do is maybe saturate some of the color inside the Deathstar interior (only a bit, not nearly like the special editions and certainly not like the dvds) and see if there'd be a way to add in one or two of the deleted scenes with Luke and his Friend on Tatooine.
A lot of the editing would be done to the prequels, understandably. I love them, but they have a lot of issues. lol
For Episode 1 ... Jar-Jar's screentime would be reduced by about 50%. He may possibly get a re-dubbing.
Boss Nass's dialogue would be snipped a bit so that he doesn't drawl on and on seemingly forever.
I would /not/ reinsert the Anakin fight scene, however, if I'm not mistaken, there is some extra footage where Anakin shows a little bit of aggression on the pod-race... am I right? If so, I would insert that back in. Anakin is a flawed human, not an angel.
I would cut most of the two-headed announcers at the pod-race. They drive me insane. lol Honestly I tolerate Jar-Jar better than those two.
Some of Anakin's unnecesarry line's would be cut: "... and they blow you up! BOOM!!! ... We could try spinning, that's a good trick! Woahoahoah! ... Yippieee!! ..." ... you get the idea.
Anakin destroys the droid control ship on purpose. He does not use auto-pilot to happen to get there. He flies there. He's the best starpilot in the galaxy, remember? So lets see him be just that.
Obi-wan no longer talks about Anakin being a "pathetic life-form". Come on Obi-Wan, you're a nicer person than that.
There's more, but It'll come to me later. lol
I'll post more on Episodes 2 and 3 later. They are the ones that need the most treatment, I think.
