Idea: Incorporating tone poem(s) into TPM edit?

I just remembered how actually amazing the tone poems were in the advertising for TPM, and if it would be possible to incorporate one or multiple into the movie (I was especially considering Darth Maul’s). I figured this would be a good topic to discuss on how or if one would go about doing this.

Discuss!

No offense, kid, but I don’t think you know how to boil water.

When Maul lands on Tatooine he sends out his drones. And you could then hear the poem over a montage of scenes of some of the characters at that point of the story. Later on you this would balance what Yoda has to say about fear. Anakin’s could play as overheard lines coming from his interrogation by the council. The poem of shmi could play in anakins head at his mother’s funeral. Qui-gon’s just as Vader contemplates killing the separatists as irony, he remembers Qui-gon saying this about becoming a Jedi but he is about to start out on his new path as a Sith. Padme’s could play either as she contemplates what to do in her quarter on Coruscant or as echoey comments in the Senate chamber.

How would the music be separated?

It wouldn’t be separated. I would get a high quality video source, and then transition music with the cues in the video

It’s funny, I’ve actually been playing with incorporating part of QGJ’s into TPM. Before Anakin shoots the reactor at the end of the film, I have Qui Gon (who is already dead at this point, in my edit) say “Trust your instincts, Anakin”, but then, I’ve been trying to add “A path will be placed before you” from the tone poem. Sort of like my edit’s version of “use the force, Luke”.

Idk if I’m going to keep it, but it doesn’t sound terrible. It wasn’t difficult to separate the music from the voice.

If you found a convincing way to incorporate Darth Maul’s tone poem, I would very much like to hear it.

If done right, that could work really well!

You may be able to put parts of it in his scenes where he talks to Darth Sidious
