Any back pain on your left side?

 Nope.

Indeed.

By the way, the opening sequence of the edit is really messed up for some reason.

It's a little blocky looking for Vimeo. Still, nice to see half the movie in rough cut form after watching all the individual sequences for so long.

Where were you in '77?

Have you given someone the voice of George Lucas yet? I think that should be in at least one of these.

 I know, and I'm not sure why.  I have to limit the quality in order to stay under the 500 MB weekly limit for free Vimeo, but it looks worse this time for some reason.

I have not...not sure where it would go.

Ok, I seem to be finally inching my way back to normal...tests still haven't shown anything, but it seems like it was probably just a bad stomach virus.  I don't ever remember having one this bad or lasting this long, but the worst seems behind me.

Just for fun, here's a little clip of various things I may give Anakin to yell at Obi-Wan after he loses his legs.  The two looped shots look pretty bad so I will probably intercut a shot of Obi looking at him for each of those.

(NSFW language alert, I haven't beeped out anything yet)

You could use "give me a sword!" when Obi Wan picks up Anakin's saber, then curses at him as he walks away. ;)

I already did the "give me a sword" for that moment, but I like the idea of cursing him out when he walks away.  Nice!

I was probably thinking of the black knight in Holy Grail shouting after Arthur. ;)

After the initial burst of anger, Anakin could get more apologetic and desperate, even if Obi Wan is long gone. (Or yelling in the background over Padme's ship leaving Mustafar?) Hayden's emotional meltdown in Shattered Glass comes to mind.

And don't forget "Don't let this one die a virgin!" from The Virgin Suicides. Shouldn't be too hard to splice "me" in there? I think Hayden's voice can be tweaked to sound a little deeper if need be?

Are you still going to censor or cut away from Anakin's BBQ?

 I don't remember what this gag was...unless you mean using a black bar?  That would be confusing.  Was still thinking of using the Power Station song, however.

IIRC, we also discussed the picture getting "scrambled" 1980's cable tv style, or cutting to cute fluffy animals. ;)

I don't know if the available footage allows this but you could get another Jerry Springer moment where Obi-Wan declares his love for Anakin as he cooks.

In the original film you have the scene where he asks Padme if Anakin is the father, maybe you could wiggle it so that Obi-Wan is also pregnant with Anakin's child.

You just HAVE to put "I've been using since I was 12!" in there somewhere. Preferably everywhere.

In the original movie, Obi watches Ani burn, the sick bastard.  In ROTR, I was going to have Obi leave Ani right before he burns, show Obi going to the ship to check on Padme, then light up Ani with a controlled burn.  However, I had to move Obi's scene to after the burn in order to make Threepio's fire joke work.  This was the transition between the two Ani scenes I came up with.

I thought it might be fun to have Palpatine heckled as he announced the formation of the Empire.

Unfortunately the Utubez have so many clips of heckler put downs that decent heckles are hard to find.

The only famous one I can think of is the infamous Bob Dylan "Judas" heckle but it's not exactly applicable.

Maybe you youngsters can remember some useable real or fictional heckling?

There are probably plenty of insults between The Simpsons and Futurama Frink could use.

The hecklers ought to be silenced by a blaster shot of course. ;)

Add camera shakes/fast zooms to shots of ships, even those standing still!
