The podrace scenes sounds like a wonderful idea, for so many reasons.
But, would that necessitate either recasting the yellow pod we see as Watto’s all along?No, in the montage of Anakin’s life, you see him fixing up his podracer and using it in the first race. He never damages it or anything and Anakin owning his own pod isn’t a secret. That whole subplot is gone in my edit.

I just think TPM’s soundtrack is perfectly fine the way it is, adding new music would just feel weird unless it’s an original fan composition. But even then it would have to be subtle, like imperial march was at the end of the credits. Although I’ve always wanted something like this to be incorporated into the prequels somehow: https://youtu.be/fA-aWZ2RKSE?list=PL37AA958F7660C874&t=395
I simply love the way 6:35-6:45 is played, even if it’s just another rendition of the main theme it sorta feels an inspiration for Across The Stars. It was never used in the film though.Yeah I plan on using some of the most obscure SW themes out there, my edit will feel much different than the original because of this. TPM’s OST has a few great themes but overall find it quite forgettable. I like that song, I may have a use for it.
Well alright then. Curious, will you be doing any colour correction? TPM has this weird mix of red and slight pink tint throughout the movie. Another small thing that bothered me in TPM is how faded the lightsaber blades look, it’s most noticeable in the opening scene, some replacement blades to match the OT would be nice. If you ever need more music, I’d recommend the Battlefront 2015 and Shadows of the Empire OSTs
