If I was to go that route, it would mostly be established once I get around to doing Episode 2, Cause sady Poor Dooku gets no screen time and no love in this ROTS.

The way it was done in JasonN's ROTS was with a saber color change for Dooku, which I think has already been discussed here (can't remember for sure, as I have been in and out of this thread).

I see. Well I guess I have some time to make up my mind. I'll watch AOTC a few times, and see if anything could become of it. If I couldnt bring anything new to the concept over what JasonN did, then I would pass on the idea. I'll leave that option open then for now.

Finally. I have been pushing orange sabers for a few years, but nobody likes them.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

My reason for it is it contrasts beautifully with the two blue sabers (I'm making both sabers Anakin takes him on with blue - was never a fan of the green and blue)

Anyway, back to Bob's edit :)

Nooooo lightsaber colours must remain blue, green and red. Bob has only just fixed Mace's. If he included orange etc then changin mace's was pointless since its the rainbow of colours again.

Agreed. However, if we had to vote I would go for blue and red only (in PT), so that later the green one in ROTJ has some meaning to it.

Bob will Keep the Green sabers. No need for votes. Maybe in an other edit

This is a great project. I agree with all changes, clips are beautiful, great colors, great dialoge trimming, great decisions made. It's going to be a very watchable movie (hopefully), I just have one thing in mind - I hope that the new pace/rhytm fits the whole new-edited movie. Thank you bobgarcia74 and everybody else who cares about right decisions! Cheers

wise you must be.

Ok, I've been absent. I've been reading all of this, but my Iphone wouldn't allow me to respond so I'm just now getting to this.

 

My 2 cents so far.

Flickering lights: I love it! I do agree with another poster in that it should be dark while he cuts down all the Jedi, and then have them flicker back on as he faces Mace. It would give the scene much more menace.

 

Dooku as a Rogue: I think I said this somewhere, but I'll say it again... I used to be on the "Make Dooku a Rogue Jedi" bandwagon, but the problem is there is no payoff. Nothing happens with it. It never comes up in ROTS. However, I think THIS could make things interesting. I always felt the SW prequels needed some form of a twist, so how about in AOTC making Dooku appear as a rogue Jedi with a green saber or blue, or whatever.... And the audience thinking he's just a guy trying to form his own government because he realizes a dark jedi is in office. Then at the end, keep the scene where he meet Sidious and then POW, the audience realizes he was in league with the dark lord to create Palpatine's war.

 

Anyway, something to try.

Bob. Wow. Keep up the amazing work. I'm here if you need me.

Still working on the next cut. Worked on darkening the room, while still allowing the sabers to glow at full light.  I didnt get thru all of the scenes, So I have not watched it in motion yet. But if it comes across half as good as I think it will, I'll still be excited.

Tonight I should have the dark room fighting clips done. If all goes well, I'll start working on reordering the rest of the dialogue.

This all took alittle longer then expected so far, cause I'm also changing Maces saber color at the same time. Thanks to those who offered suggestions. We'll see what I can come up with. 8)
