Anakin Starkiller

I’d always been intending to use certain themes more consistently throughout the series in my Harry Potter edits. However, this video series has convinced me to go all out. This thread is about assigning meaning to various existing themes to be used more often and developped into proper leitmotifs. Everyone can contribute. There will not be any actual edit for this (unless you count mine, which will vary in far more ways than this). It’s just a resource for faneditors to use. Here’s what we’ve got so far:

Existing Connections:
Hedwig’s Theme - Main Theme
Leaving Hogwarts - Friends/Family (I suggest using it throughout the series rather than just in 1&2)
The Face of Voldemort - Voldemort’s Theme (Same here)
A Window to the Past - The Marauders
Fireworks - The Weasley Twins

Proposed Connections:
Fawkes the Phoenix - Dumbledore’s Theme
Fred and George (OotP Game) - Also the Weasley Twins
The Burrow (CoS Game) - The Burrow/The Weasleys (suggested by Harold Flower)

Existing Themes:
Harry’s Wondrous World
Buckbeak’s Flight
Harry in Winter
Return to Hogwarts (HBP video game)
Lily’s Theme (I propose reworking it into a variant of A Window to the Past)

Proposed Themes:
Quirrel’s Theme
Lupin’s Theme
Snape’s Theme
Neville’s Theme
The Order of the Phoenix
Draco’s Theme
Horcrux Theme (we could just use Voldemort’s Theme for this)
The Deathly Hallows

I haven’t seen much 80s animation, given I wasn’t born yet, and haven’t seen and reason to visit the era of cartoons based on toys.

By far the worst I’ve seen for stock footage was the godawful first season of Code Lyoko (an otherwise great show), and that was from the 00s.

Did they really? 80s cartoons must’ve looked really really bad then.

Love or hate Clone Wars, George Lucas was practically burning money to make it possible. Towards the end, the show was running at a loss. Without Lucas’s passion and endless wealth, they had tone things down.

It ain’t a radical redux thread without Paja spewing a constant stream of pointless recolors. Welcome to the thread.

Ffs, why does everything in this trilogy have to tie back to the Originals? Anyway, leaving the thread. Enjoy your spoilers, everyone!

Upon seeing those pictures, I remembered that this is a spoiler thread. I like small teaser like this, but I don’t want to have anything major spoiled, like a surprise appearance of an old character, or just the general plot. I take my best option is to leave this thread?

Star Wars has a pretty nice logo when stacked. The thing is, it’s got a hexagonal shape, so when you unstack it, it just looks like two awkward trapezoids. Anybody got some idea how to fix this?

It doesn’t really matter if the story needs to be told so long as the end result is entertaining (that is, unless it’s one of the cases where knowing more takes too much mystery away, but this isn’t one of them). TPM may not be as relevant to the story as AotC, but it sure as hell is more entertaining.

Why complain about the flawless CG Leia rather than the admirable, but could use improvement CG Tarkin?

Leia showing up at all was pure fan service, and really makes no sense if you think about it. What was a senator doing at the Attack in Scariff? Strategically speaking all she was was a liability. If she was captured, Alderaan would be proven guilty of rebellion. She wasn’t fighting nor did she have any expertise, and the plan was to escape via the big ship (as per Raddus’s orders) not the freighter. Why is she there?

Or, you know, they put her there for continuity?

Either it hasn’t been revealed because they’re gonna move it to earlier in the timeline, or this show is gonna run alongside Episodes VII and VIII in the chronology.

You people make me sick.

I guess that makes sense.

How you feel about RotS probably depends a lot on how much you care about story versus execution. RotS because I’m just glad to see the story unfold, even if it’s not perfect. Some people find it’s poor execution more offensive because it’s a more important episode, but I just like because it’s important.

What if the shapeshifter in Attack of the Clones, y’know… shapeshifted?

How did Anakin know that was her? And I wonder if that’d be confusing if you didn’t know about it going in.

“Master, the batteries in your Wii remote are low.”

Guys, can we get the conversation back on track please? Just agree to disagree.

Looks like an average animated TV show for 5 year olds. I’ll pass.

Oh, come on. It’s at least for 7 year olds.

I am getting major Titan A.E. vibes, which isn’t good or bad.

I certainly don’t get that vibe, which is a shame 'cause I really like that movie. Speaking of which…

Oh, I agree! That looks pretty good! I found it ironic that Titan A.E. caught some flak for doing the same when anime has been blending the two since Lensman in 1984.

The CGI was not made to blend in. It was not cel-shaded or anything. It was like Time Jam’s CGI.

Thank god he has a personality!!! After Rebels, I had pretty low expectations. This show looks less bland.

Also, Filoni won’t be showrunner for this show, as he’s busy with TCW. He’ll be giving advice, though.

Be my guest. I dare you to restore the Luke and Biggs scene. That’s the one distorted scene I really want restored.

D’Qar should have dragon blood trees like in the concept art to make it more unique.

You know how Hayden Christensen looks nothing like Jake Lloyd? Well you know does (aside from Leo DiCaprio, who turned down the part)? John Simm. I wonder if he can do an american accent.

It’s at least interesting. Granted I’d seen blue Maul before on the cover for TPM OST.

Well done.

Ironically, this is a rather cringey title.
