Star Wars Episode II: The Approaching Storm (Released) — Page 2

I tried it with winzip and 7zip.  What did you use?

That would be awesome!

I just watched this edit, and it is quite masterfully edited! It doesn't get nearly the praise that it deserves. It's so perfectly edited, that I almost forgot how bad Hayden Christensen is, and I totally forgot all the childish droid antics that were seamlessly edited away.

Seeing as how you are putting together a v3, I'll just drop a little nitpicking in here that I typed down while I watched it.

- Near the 25 min mark, there's an awkwhile line from Anakin about "R2 being with us", followed by an awkward laugh. It's gotta go. :P

- At 28:30, there's a green discolouration in on the left (in my 720p version at least).

- A glitch in the audio in the same scene at 29min

- It's a personal opinion, but the Geonosis trial-scene around 1:14:15 is unneccessary, and out of place. It doesn't look very finished, and it makes the narration very busy as Anakin and Padme goes from the meeting with Dooku, to the trial and then to the arena; all in under one minute.

- At 1:16:41 , why does the "archduke" call his subjects infidels?

- And finally another personal opinion that you obviously disagree with. I'd have the whole Dex scene back rather than having the bounty hunter in the beginning tell them about the Kamino System. I mean, why would the bounty hunter just give up everything like that? It's just too easy.

Can you post a screencap of what you mean?

Green line at the extreme left. Seconds after this, there is a skip in the sound as the audio changes drastically. I'm guessing this is due to combination of a deleted and an original scene.  

The "infidel" subtitle is an homage to MagnoliaFan's edit, because I found it so funny. 

Hmm, well it still doesn't make a lot of sense. :)

Yeah it's at a scene change (still at the platform, but with different video quality. I don't recall the original version here, but it appears this second part of the scene wasn't a deleted one). I checked it out again, and it isn't really a glitch, just a noticable change of audio quality. It was a lot more noticable when using headphones than speakers.

And do you have an alternate suggestion for the subtitle? "Settle down, settle down" is lame.

I don't have any specific suggestions, but at least something along the lines of "settle down" gets the point across without actually calling his subjects unbelievers for mysterious reasons.

"Silence, workers!" 

"Attention, geonosians!"

"Quiet, my subjects!"

Or any combination of the above. 

What about Silence, scum!

I like it because people are called scum a few times in star wars so it doesn't feel out of place.

My entry would be simply "Quiet down!" or "Silence!"

Even a evil leader wouldn't call his subjects in a derogatory way in my view. You don't want an uprising.

Am I the only one who didn't see an issue with "Settle down, settle down."? It fits the scene very well.

I agree. It doesn't really have to be that exciting as long as it's understandable. It's just on the screen there for a second. 

But hey, as long as it makes som sense, consider me appeased.

 It's settled then ;). My official vote goes to... "Settle down, settle down."!
