This needs work on audio levels (including a few missing "oops" due to some weird timeline issue).  It also needs visual transitions or fades added.  But as a first pass it has the concept in place. Thoughts?

You should close the sequence with the freshly helmeted Darth Vader saying "Oops."

Other than that, my only thoughts are that the PT's visuals aren't as bad as I remember them being.

Update:

Fixed the audio levels, added some simple sound fx to fill in some empty spots in the audio, and added a few Windows boot sound fx for the helmet shots.

 I always thought they were quite nice, at least in ROTS.  (The exception being the opening sequence of ships flying that looks like it was taken out of a video game.  Which I don't even understand because the rest of the ships in the movie didn't look like that.  Oh well)

I'm not sure how many people will get the Windows startup joke, but it works for me.

Would it be funny if one or two of the stills zoomed right into an eye, nostril, or mouth?

Where were you in '77?

 Lol, it would.  Maybe Ani's nasty eye in the last shot?

What version of Windows is that? I'm afraid this youngster didn't recognize it.... :P

Oh, well, I'm sure my dad will get a kick out of it for me.

There's always the old school dial up modem sounds? ;)

 First is Windows 3.1, second is Windows 95.

Ah, there were two. I thought the second part wasn't unfamiliar, but I don't remember ever starting up Windows 3.1.

Yes! You used the Goofy holler! :)

Where did you get the British People bit from? That's hilarious!

Anakin's No! and Mace's cries of pain seem kind of low in the mix.

You could use the street crowd looking up in AOTC, to establish people actually do see all this going on, then go back to minding their own damn business. Or just Jimmy Stewart freaking out?

Would it be funny if Palp's Force lightning sounded like Ghostbusters proton beams?

You missed the chance to do another car alarm gag when Anakin walks away from his speeder. ;)

At 6:56, but the whole clip is worth watching.  (It's darker than I remember!)

Anakin's No! and Mace's cries of pain seem kind of low in the mix.

I'll take a look at it.  I think I lowered Mace's cries so the flying dialogue is audible, but I'm not sure why the No! would be lowered.

I like the idea of the AOTC crowd.  What Jimmy Stewart freak out?  Something from Rear Window?

Would it be funny if Palp's Force lightning sounded like Ghostbusters proton beams?

Not sure.  I wasn't sure if I should do anything there.

Ah, indeed!  Consider it done.

Yes, Rear Window. :)

Might be funny if Anakin said yes instead of no?

I didn't say it had to make sense. I only just noticed the censor box on the fourth viewing. Nevermind. ;)

LOL! And I see some foreshadowing of what Yoda will be like after twenty years living alone on Dagobah. ;)

Well, that was a sharp decline in sanity. ;)
