i thought i would start a thread to get some ideas going.
is anyone planning some edits of the new clone wars series? cheesey as it may get sometimes, and as dreadful as the film was, i do enjoy and look forward to the episodes. im sure something can be scavenged from it.
i had put a little thought into combinining the 'malevolence' trilogy with the introduction of ahsoka from the movie - framed in the movie aspect ratio. I think there's still needs to be some more footage for a decent 'b' story running parallel with the main 'a' story though.
I'd take elements fromt he film but scrap most of it since the story goes nowhere interesting really. Aside from that I'd trim a LOT of battle droid dialogue - ie: remove the jokes but keep important lines, as well as cutting a lot of the lines that are obvious attempts at Original Trilogy references. - They are less of a subtle wink and more of a sharp elbow to the ribs.
Anyone else?
i agree with the droid language, though really thats something that goes for the prequels aswell!
i was thinking along the same lines with the malevolence story arc, and combining it with a secondary story. but its all dependant on where the stories go, a good obi wan and luminara would be neat to tie them in.
ive been torrenting them as im from the UK, and there is the CARTOON NETWORK logo that pops in and a PG logo aswell. if these were recut to 16:9 would that bit be cut off? otherwise we have to wait till the DVD comes out!
i like the idea of imagining episode 2 as episode 1, then maybe bridging the 2-3 gap with a decent feature length clone wars film. the change in media is bizarre, but it would make an interesting retake on the saga.
if the opening crawl was added to a series of CLONE WARS films, do yo think EPISODE II.I, II.II, II.III would work? im not sure if you get decimal numerals.
would love them to do a similar series set between V and VI doing shadows of the empire!

yeah, looks like the Movie ratio is wide enough that you could crop off the lower section from episodes bearing the CN logos and still have enough to work with.
