One thing I would also like to be changed is Queen Amidala's voice. Lucas decided to lower her voice in post-production. We can actually hear Portman's original voice in the trailers. It's okay if she has a lower voice when she's wearing the makeup but for some reason Lucas also edited some scenes where she doesn't have the makeup but is still the queen. That just doesn't make any sense. Why would she want to change her voice if she doesn't even wear the makeup? I can remember one line that sounds incredibly dumb in the final movie: "Get to your ships!" Luckily they used that line in the trailer before Lucas decided to change her voice and there it sounds so much better.
Could you possibly use the voice from the trailer for that line and possibly alter all the other scenes where she's speaking as a queen without the makeup?
I didn't realize that before, but to me Queen Amidala's voice always sounded a bit off though. I bet George Lucas was trying to make it softer and more child friendly somehow.
I could try to use the voice from the trailer, but I am not sure how good it would sound. (I am not a very skilled editor, especially when it comes to sound.) I will try it out and see I guess. Whatever I can use to make the movie a bit better, I will not shy away from it.

I didn't know about that! Sounds odd...
It is quite odd, but it is from same people who thought Jar Jar Binks and young Anakin was a good idea... so.. there is that.
