Actually, "Star Wars: Redubbed" might be a WHOLE LOT of FUN. Like that one Woody Alen film whose name eludes me, or "Kung Pow." But to keep it centered, I'd keep a few characters (probably Obi, Aunt Beru, and Leia) as their normal voices, just for contrast. Couple that with Cockney Artoo and subtitled Chewie, this could be extremely silly.

And also, every time a lightsiber ignites, there should be a power chord and a high pitched heavy-metal scream (I'm thinking ManOWar!)

 

 

 

There's a hilarious video on youtube that has all the Darth Vader Scenes from ANH re-dubbed with James Earl Jones' voice from some of his other films, used to AWESOME effect. I believe it was called "Vader Sessions", but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Dub in Steve Carrel's voice from The Office saying "that's what she said" via comlink during the Death Star raid in ANH, as if he is an unseen off-screen X-Wing pilot, or maybe he is at the rebel base or something.

Best...idea...ever.

Agreed.

That just makes me want to do a mock-up with it now... it's been a while.

 

 

As I was saying... here is my mock-up edit!

Wow, reading over this, I am realizing it could be a lot of fun to do an edit like this. Be a lot of fun to get a group of friends together and watched a totally screwed over version of Star Wars. It would work great as an abridged version of the film, editing the whole thing down to about 45 minutes or so, wouldn't be hard to do.

The Indiana Jones theme when Han shoots Vader's Tie and saves the day would be hilarious. The Steve Carrel thing would be great as well (I hate that joke so much, and all these retards that feel the need to constantly quote it, even when it is hardly applicable i.e. "Would you like salad dressing?" "That's what she said! HAHAHAHHAHA" really gets on my nerves. But using it during the Death Star battle would be pretty funny for an edit like this).

And if there were a few guys with some decent voice talent and recording equipment willing to do this, the cockney Artoo and Fonzesque Chewie could potentially, with some well written dialogue, be pretty funny.

 

On a related idea, I have always wanted to edit this scene into The Empire Strikes Back, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5blbv4WFriM&feature=related

That thing cracks me up everytime.

EDIT: Just discovered this one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gQozw40Mso&feature=related it goes on for a little too long, but shorten it to only two times and add an audio clip of JEJ laughing and it would be another great addition to a worst edit version of Empire Strikes Back.

Should this heresy version of SW ever get made, it needs to have lots of R2 bloopers from the old Making of Star Wars documentary.

Too bad we don't have all the on set dialogue recordings. The little bit that I've heard of David Prowse saying Vader's lines was hilarious.

An other bad idea (for RotJ):

Having an old turnable on the stage, instead of the Rebo band, playing Lapti-nek (with cracklings of course !). It makes the typical vinyl "scratch" noise when the music stops of course!

Or worse still replace the band with Jefferson Starship performing "Light the Sky on Fire" from the Holiday Special.

Something that keeps cracking me up while watching ROTJ:

when Darth Vader visits the Emperor in his throne room for the second time part of the conversation goes like this:

Darth: A small rebel force has penetrated the shield and landed on Endor.

Emperor: Yes I know.

The way the Emperor says it keeps reminding me of Andy from Little Brittain... what about leaving the Emperor's chair turned to the side (not facing Vader) and making "Yes I know" from Little Brittain his only response. Maybe throughout the whole movie??

Who's the more foolish... the fool who makes or the fool who buys this crap?

Or overdub all the Emperor's lines with unintelligible ramblings from Ozzy Osbourne.

I always thought a new movie incorporating the old ones would be cool. It would be like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead compared to Hamlet. I mean come on. The OT has funny moments. I imagine several characters in several scenes of the film totally making a mockery of the main characters. Hell we could have several guys being kicked out of the Tanative IV because they were hitching a ride. Their pod lands on tatooine and they walk for miles to Mos Eisley and end up getting a job at the cantina. The Imperial Storm Troopers are shooting everyone in the cantina so they run out. They are caught by imperial officers so they beat them up and take there clothes. Through a whole mess of mistaken rank and identity they wind up on the Death Star and end up in a jam. Then we could even have them through the whole series. Hell Empire they could work on Hoth and get captured by Boba Fett. But everything the characters do has some direct effect on the story of the Original Films. But it would be really fun and they could have run ins with the main characters all of the time. But it would be alot of work. I would be willing to write a screenplay. But I don't have the finances for something like that.

"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

Damn DAMN DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was the exact idea I had. GOD I DON'T HAVE AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT. Or my thought was a damn good one. Either way I think it would still be a doable movie. Damn they got it even to the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead comparison. I honestly have never heard of Tag and Bink. But it is still a workable thing. Man I thought I was coming on to something good LOL.

A "grindhouse" edit of ANH is an idea that could become a work in progress for me. 

Puggo is okay for me to use his 16 mm preservation edit (thanks to him).

I think I may steal some ideas from this thread! And the R2 subtitles are a must have.

Still not 100% sure I'll do this edit though, but if I have enough ideas by myself I may start in a month or two.

So for this edit, bad ideas are good ones!

 

 Just wondering where the 'scene missing'(s) should go for maximum value. Either any time a really impressive effects shot/sequence appears, or just the whole Yavin 4 battle:

"Then man your ships. And may the Force be with you"
[SCENE MISSING]
*BOOOM!*

You gonna start a thread?

Haha, I  still don't know where the missing reel would be the best.

Maybe I'll start a thread when I'll begin to work on it, but I don't want to spoil any jokes and changes I would make. So I guess it would just be a thread to let people know about the progress of the project without telling exactely what happens in the edit.

Make Vader shouts (a "Ouch !") when Solo shots in his hand in ESB.

Still in ESB, why not include some water closet noises when Vader is in his meditation room... ?

In the interests of diversity, Han and Chewie could be a couple.

After Luke asks "how did my father die?", Obiwan could tell him the WHOLE story. It would start: "this is going to take a while, now, try not to laugh..."

"So there I was, balls-deep in a midget..."

 

 Hahahahah, I tink that line may have made me wet myself a bit!  Nice Jono, very nicely done!

 

... You could always do the trilogy as a Julie Andrews type musical.

If television is chewing gum for the mind, then the prequels are the worlds first visual laxative.

How about we go through and take out Artoo's beeping, and put in dialogue... to make the film easier to follow? I think he should have a cockney accent.

I was seriously thinking about subtitling R2 and Chewie.  I think it would be fun to try to figure out what everyone else is responding to.  Not in a serious way of course, but a fun side edit for someone.

 

I always wanted to do a subtitle track for R2 that was laced with profanity  (tastefully done of course)
