I had an idea of flipping the dialogue around so he's told they don't have a bridge, just a tower.  The problem there is that Shatner only says "tower" and never says "bridge."  Of course, I'm sure there's any number of Star Trek episodes and movies where he says "bridge" so maybe that's doable after all.

The mouth movement is kind of awkward, one trick I've used in the past is only changing dialogue off screen, so you could hold on Kirk as he says his altered lines.

 I can probably do that...of course, I thought you said you watched AOTR ;-)

With a bit of trimming this classic moment from Earthquake could fit into the elevator shaft nonsense.

Oh man! That scene gave me nightmares back in the day, tacky as it is.

 It's actually funnier this way!

Another brainstorm. When Grievous deploys his four armed surprise in the duel, it's accompanied by the classic Transformers sound effect?

 Or something of Goro from Mortal Kombat.

The Mortal Kombat movie theme would be good too. ;)

As has become tradition, I've uploaded a rough cut of the first twenty-ish minutes of the edit.

DELETED FOR NOW :-(

Frink, the audio is really messed up--at least for the first bit, I haven't yet watched past 1 minute. All I can hear is the drums, which continue throughout the whole minute. All the little singing people pop up and sing, but silently, while the drums beat on and on and on. It might just be me, but I'm pretty sure it isn't.

EDIT: The channel with the dialogue is completely missing. All other sounds appear to be present.

Yeah, I screwed up when I rendered the audio and just exported the front L and R channels, nothing else.  Argh.

Well done Frink, well done. One thing though--at 19:47, Shatner (not having seen the movie, I only know the actor) says "close off the bridge" when I believe he should be saying "tower." Unless I misunderstood something, there's no bridge, only a tower.

 Good catch, I'll fix that.

 Fantastic opening act. The shot from Mr Show is still my favourite ;-) Generally perfect but a few things I noticed...

I thought 'You're the best' could stand to be a little louder in the mix. I also spotted that bridge/tower thing ^. During the duel you cut to Palpatine twice going "Yeah", maybe change one of them to "Excellent" (The upbeat "Excellent" he says at one point, can't remember where though).

I'll check on the volume of the song. I'm pretty sure I had "excellent" in there before and changed it because I liked the double "yeah" better.

The double "yeah" would work if two different shots were used. But since they're pretty much duplicate shots right now, it doesn't work as well.

Almost there!

Some thoughts: The "seventeen space hours earlier" caption could be in a Star Wars font, or at least a different color/font than the subtitles. Ditto the "Meanwhile" one.

The censored cockpit speaker gag is great, but the censor bar is appearing over a monitor screen. Move it over one of the metal knobs as they look more like speakers?

Artoo ought to say "No springs!" in response to Obi Wan's "Spring the trap." Obscure MST3K reference. ;)

If you cut to another exterior battle shot at 7:03, the abrupt change from hangar to corridor will be covered.

The battle droids in the elevator could say something?

A few off screen cries of agony from Palpatine as our heroes enter the Poetry Appreciation Chamber?

If you can cut from Yoda back to Ani about two seconds sooner, (if it doesn't mess up the timing of the music) it would transition a little better. The foreground part of set that comes into the shot almost looks like an incomplete wipe.

If Bob ever comes back, the elevator buttons could have an "out of order" sign taped on them?

The bridge scenes with Steve still need some sound effects in the background. (Star Trek bridge?) You can lose them as you get into the crash scene, which gets funnier every time I see it. :)

 Great suggestions all but I thought the intertitle font was supposed to be this one...

or given the music, this one...

Really not digging the lack of old skool Cylons in the Battle of Corsucant sequences so far.

The opportunity to have the same Cylon Raider blown up 16 times via flip shots is too good a thing to miss.

They even had Galactica references in Airplane 2 FCOL.
