This fan edit utilizes the Japanese audio track and features Vader's yell. Hope this helps!

Awesome. I'll play with this when I get the chance. Still not totally sold on it, but we will see how it fares. 

Well, doing a crap mockup with subpar audio... I'm not sold on it. It doesn't sound like a great match for JEJ, especially when juxtaposed directly against it. 

A nice idea, but it doesn't pass muster. "Nooooo!"

I kind of agree. I watched both clips and while he's not saying "Noooooo!!", which is the one thing everyone seems to get hung up on since Team America, the tone of his voice seems to different from the original voice.

Thanks to Hundsdorfex's amazing dedication, we have yet another cool little FX tweak. This time, it allows me to better integrate this scene. Not only did he recolor Leia's eyes to brown, but he painted out Bail's figure from the balcony so I could use that establishing shot. Also, I desaturated and recolored Alderaan somewhat to better match the footage of Natalie Portman.

Just little things. There's a few brief lines and shots that I reinstated, but the main benefit of v4 is that it will look so much better, thanks to Hundsdorfex's care with a few shots, schorman13's HDTV source, and DrDre's algorithmic upscale of the deleted scenes. V4 will be it, save for an encode using Emanswfan's regraded version. But I'm not holding anything back in anticipation. As picky as I am, V4 will be the completion. New commentary tracks have been recorded, with things being locked and set.

No, it'll be all three. I've covered this here in the thread, by the way. Ep1 will be BluRay sourced with grain added, and color corrected slightly to take the edge off the overall red tint. Eps 2 and 3 will use shorman13's upcoming V2 source, and are really just waiting for that to be released. 

DrDre's upscaled deleted scenes make a night and day difference, I gotta say. I'm encoding V4 of Ep1 right now, and Ep3 will be next because that's what shorman13 is releasing first. I'd like for them all to be out well ahead of TFA, but in the end I'd much rather be able to put the best of everything into this final release.

 Go ahead and go kick his butt!

JK, can't wait :)

The main problem with that is I've been working in 5.1 from the beginning, and doing a mix in 6.1 would require redoing all the audio from scratch, not to mention upconverting all other 5.1 audio to match. Unless someone can convert the BR audio to 5.1, it just doesn't make sense to me to redo everything for a marginal difference in the sound. 

I could, however, export what I'm working with in a higher bitrate for the MKV version, though it'd still be mostly sourced from DVD audio (save for Episode I).

Damn, a spot check reveals to me that I forgot to modify the subtitle shadowing for one scene of COD. Oh well, my new Mac can encode the whole film in 17 hours instead of the solid six it used to take me.

I used the 'plot to overthrow the Chancellor' scene in v3, so yes. It lets us see that Obi-Wan is in the know and involved with this stuff, giving a little more weight to his later dialogue about the Chancellor being evil and getting defensive about the idea of taking over the Republic as Anakin sees it. 

The other scene you mention needs some FX wizardry, and would require careful editing of later scenes between Palpaying and Anakin, so I never really thought about using it. Upon reviewing it, it seems very unfinished and "on-set," with poor line deliveries. I think they did well to cut it and spread its pieces across other scenes. 

Thanks for the question!

 Oh that sounds sweet! Because one of my biggest issues in the PT (well ep. 2 and 3) were how Yoda and the Council were completely blind to it all. "the Dark Side clouds everything" is a nice line but they really look like oblivious fools.

I mean come on Yoda! You can tell that a kid's future 10+ years down the line is clouded but you can't feel Palpatine is manipulating everything? Dooku even tells you the whole plot and you still don't know??

FanEdit.org user CommanderBen sent me another mockup of the Vader scene using the Japanese dub. I figure it’s worth another go-round to assess everyone’s opinion. I could see it working, so please leave a comment if you have any opinion about this one way or the other. It has to be superior to the alternative of leaving the scene alone in order to use.

Yeah, CommanderBen put the clip together, but the only thing in question is the Vader yell. I won’t be modifying the video from Schorman’s source. And I’d remix the audio anyway. Thanks for chiming in; a preliminary consensus seems to slightly prefer the Japanese yell, though it too is a little weird.

delete.

I like the very beginning when it’s more like a grumble. When he starts yelling my biggest problem is the pitch is much higher, I don’t mind the gurgle as much because like some said it’s plausible in is current burnt to a crisp condition.

But either way I think the yell makes more sense then “nooo”. It’s more unbridled rage which goes nicely with the destruction around him.
