Haha, well, I'm glad you like it.
And yeah, I pitched Amidala's voice higher - so she sounds more natural.
I'll be doing that throughout the movie.
On a second note - I think I'll be able to make Naboo into Alderaan for the Prequel Trilogy. I THINK. We'll see. I've managed to cut out almost every single spoken reference to "Naboo" (not a bad thing, because they never say "Tatooine" in ANH, for instance).
Making Naboo into Alderaan seems like a daunting task. But I don't think it's QUITE so difficult in the end. And it's a good, logical change.
I really liked it Aalenfae, wonder if you can re-use Obi-Wan's "I sense something illusive" later on? Thats only because that small little bit of dialogue is all that I missed in the re-cut opening.
I think using Alderaan instead of Naboo would be a fantastic move; I think it would also have far more emotional impact in Episode 4, if a planet we know and like is blown up. (I really think Lucas missed a huge trick there!). Out of interest, what's your opening crawl? I'm just hoping you replaced the crappy trade dispute with something else ;-)
All in all excellent work, really liked it!
