Episode III: Revenge of the Ridiculousness — Page 96

Huh, I never noticed that before.

Maybe I can have the Robocop scientist say “lose the OTHER arm.” The Robocop arm certainly looks stronger than Anakin’s mechanical arm.

Color the video and add the gridlines as seen in Vader’s eyepieces.

Maybe you could make a “mask” view for the sequence?

One lens could be red and one could be green and he could watch The Creature From the Black Lagoon in 3D for a few shots.

Yeah, Obi-wan cuts off all his remaining organic limbs, making him a full quadriplegic amputee. It is funny, I always imagine that it cuts down on his force ability to an extent (especially if you bring Midichlorians into it), explaining why he’s not quite as force-active in the OT as he is in the PT. Also take for example how Luke got shot directly in his mechanical hand on Jabba’s sail barge, as if he isn’t as force sensitive in his fake limb. (Of course, Vader’s force choke hand motions would then have to be phantom muscle memory related to the force technique and technically not necessary.) (Also, it would really have to slow down his lightsaber dueling reactions as he’d have to direct the force to manipulate his artificial limbs rather than them being directly controlled by the force… Which strangely would be just about the decline in speed we see between PT duels and OT duels. [Obi-wan should have owned him on the Death Star, now that I think about it {unless he had force-arthritis}])

Anyway, if you use the Robocop footage past the point when he gets up and starts walking, you should consider putting an image of Darth Vader walking by in the TV screen he passes by displaying a live recording of him. (at 2:57 in the video)

Just looked up Force Arthritis on Wookieepedia, was surprised.

It’s absence stunned me, too.

I did hear this explanation before. Pretty sure it was official.

That was just a guess on my part, do you have a source?

They have an article about General Arthritis (the disease not the Separatist leader) as seen from a Star Wars context : http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arthritis so they haven’t entirely dropped the ball on this one. I look forward to when they just edit Wikipedia and Star Warsify it.

I know this is the height of hypocrisy, but please remember I have to go back through all these posts at a later date to make sure I didn’t miss any good ideas, and the off-topic sidebars make it more time-consuming.

Change a character name to General Arthritis.

Can you say it like Darth Vader?

Nooooooooooo.

I always felt this way of writing it to be more accurate and recognizable:
nnnnnnnnnNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo…!!!

You could scope the face of Mark onto the baby’s head but it would be a lot of work for very little payoff.

It would have been pretty ridiculous to see a 53 year old man try to play a baby.

Could incorporate it somehow into the edit!

And as Wook already pointed out, I pretty much did that already by using his voice over the shot of the baby.

RoboAnakin is almost complete. I still need to put something in for his Prime Directives - suggestions are welcome, ideally it would be audio from the OT. Also, should I add black bars to match the ROTS footage, or keep it “IMAX style”?

Well, a prime directive involving his distaste for sand would be welcome…

Also, yes, the joke may be running on a hair too long… I at first would have said to cut out the tracking scene, but then his head moving ended up just being too good.

Actually, I think we could lose between 00:46 and 01:25, since so much dialog was cut out anyway regarding his biological arm that what is left doesn’t really add much, and the “signed a release form when he joined the force” part doesn’t really fit (unless “force” is a pun). Also, are you wanting to imply that his memory is blanked from this point on in your future handling of Vader?
