So I’ve been working on making a legit looking poster for The Battle Begins using miscellaneous Drew Struzan art. Here’s a work in progress

I think it looks great, but just one little recommendation: If you’re trying to keep the reveal of Palpatine being Sidious, (Which is what I thought I read the other night while binge reading this thread) then I would move Palpatine further away from Maul and make him a little smaller. Right now I’m kind of getting that evil mastermind feel from it. Really good otherwise though!

Yeah that makes sense, He actually already looked that big in the original painting so I’ll just shrink him and move him.

When do you plan on removing Jar-Jar, at least even for a test video? This fanedit seems too good to be true…

Just an idea I heard from others. If you turn all the Jedi’s lightsabers blue it makes Luke’s green one look special as a Next-Gen Jedi saber.

That musical transition is nice!

Question though: does it look like Qui Gon’s Saber-hilt has been hit at the bottom at 00:17? Guess I never noticed that before now. Apologies if it’s been addressed before.

Sorry, just noticed the tiny orange dab on the butt of Qui Gon’s hilt in one shot that I’d never seen before, once the shield doors close. It’s there in the original too now that I look at it, just thought it was added in for your version. My apologies.

As requested, here’s a clip that I like but need some feedback on. As a kid I remembered the scene as more of an important character moment where Qui-Gon is seen meditating and doing the right thing whereas Obi-Wan grows impatient. I rescored the scene to make it more intriguing. Let me know what you think!

It’s a nice choice, but it seems a bit too over the top dramatic for me. Maybe try combining it with different tracks, something like this perhaps? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr4GYVCXCds

On Greivous’s voice, I love the new voice acting but I believe it sounds to human to fit the design, so maybe a slight robotic filter and some other kinda badass filter should be applied to be more fitting and cooler sounding. Maybe play around with it a little. Love it so far, great stuff!

Wow… this edit sounds too good to be true. I like how you’re rearranging things instead of doing the usual “cut out the typical stuff”. Prequel edits have bored me for a while but I am very, very interested in this one.

Quick question, why are you changing Mace Window’s lightsaber back to blue?

Also would you be able to edit Qui Gon into Anakin’s father to remove the virgin birth?

Because I don’t like the purple saber and the blue one makes him look way cooler 😃

I’m removing th e virgin birth but no, I’m not able to do that unless there’s some material out there that would allow me to. I would have to explain that they’ve both met before and I just don’t see how that’s doable. Not to mention it kinda sounds weird 😕
