I actually thought you'd leave Threepio's memory intact for some reason. ;)

 But this way I can do a new voice for the ROT.

I never noticed before how Jimmy Smits is really tall in that shot. (And he apparently doesn't cast a reflection on Threepio.) Or is Anthony Daniels really short?

Both, from certain points of view. ;-P 

This is an idea I've had for a long time, but it ended up much more difficult than I was expecting...and thus I'm not 100% sure it works.   But I'll let y'all be the judge.

I'm not sure about it either, but I have no helpful advice.

Instead, I have a request that you speed up Darth Vader's "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO", making it an anticlimactic, high-pitched, short squeak.

If you were so inclined, you could continue his high-pitched voice into the OT. No one would be able to take him seriously....

 First impression: I get what you're going for, but it feels like it could go further, with a better song. Unfortunately I don't have any ideas for one off the top of my head.

 Can you be more specific about how it could go further?  The song is the whole point of that bit, so the song choice is the one thing I'm not unsure about.  I can think of multiple issues with the implementation, however, so what is it that bothers you?

 I'm not sure. Maybe it just feels like it could be even funnier with a different song choice, but definitely with the same type of topic. If there was something that sounded like it didn't fit the tone even less, yet with the same topic, it might be better.

I'm a bit frustrated in trying to figure out how to pinpoint what I'm thinking, but I'll get back to you if it hits me....

 Let me know if you come up with another song with Ani in it that works better. :p

At any rate, I think the biggest problem I'm having with it is that I've really had to chop up the song to fit the limited amount of footage I have, and it's kind of displeasing to the ear.  One thought I had was to make the sequence a bit longer by alternating between shots of him brooding and shots of him doing his murder thing, which would allow a little better flow to the song.

Another song idea I had a while back, but never mentioned, was this one:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xkp0je_nine-inch-nails-hurt-with-lyrics_music

The verse at around 1:30-ish is what I heard.

Not sure if it would go with this scene in particular, but I thought it would go with Anakin at some point. Though it's so depressing I worry that the humor may not work. BUT... the word "empire" is in the lyrics, so....

 Yeah, too depressing for my taste...I'd be tempted to use the Johnny Cash cover instead if I were to go that route.

What about a AOTR callback, but a little different (just found this):

 That is very cool, but nah.

oh_riginal said:

 Maybe make the murder shots in slow motion, with dissolves between those and the shots of him brooding?

 I was thinking of that, except for the slo-mo. I don't want the sequence to be too long.

Here's the longer version.  Ended up using the slo-mo after all in order to get the right length.  I think I like this better.

I don't know what you're doing with this scene, but here's an idea. As Obi-Wan walks toward Yoda from the security camera footage of Anakin, he could say, "I have seen a security hologram..."

 Followed by "you catch on pretty quick?"

Dear TV's,

I'm not sure I say this enough, but you're The Best, and this is Perfect.

Thank you for everything,

Mr. O'Five
