No I meant Slumberland, bad weather always makes me think of Sunderland, Freudian Slit, sorry.
It's really well done and the dialogue is well written, I'm not sure about the accent though.
You have to watch out that you don't replace one offensive ethnic stereotype with another (though it could be the shock of the new).
Try it straight, without any accent but with the same delivery and I might begin to love the Gungan and miss him in the other prequels (now that would be a miracle).
I don't know if you have seen the Slumberland edits but combining those edits with your re-dub and you'll have a really watchable Jar-Jar.
Have the, "look sir droids" stormie the Ric Olie of the original trilogy (you could even dub him with Ralph Brown's voice from various other films)....
Stormie to Obi Wan: "You’re looking very beautiful man. St Peter preached the epistles to the apostles looking like that. Have you got any food?"
Luke:" I’ve got a saveloy"
Obi-Wan:"And it's for sale if you want one"
Stormy to Luke: "How much is it?"
Luke : "You can have it for nothing."
Ben rolls his eyes.
Stormy 2: "Bit early in the morning for festivities isn't it sir?"
Ben points to droids and the vainly to Luke: "They're not mine, they belong to him"
Stormy 2: "You're drunk"
Ben : "I assure you I'm not officer, I've only had a few ales"
Stormy 2: "Out of the speeder please Sir."
Ben does not move, the Stormtrooper pulls him abruptly & Ben spills out then stands against the speeder, propping himself up - the Stormy offers him a breath test.
Stormy 2: "Would you fill this bag please sir?"
Ben waves his hand : "I don't need to fill this bag"
Stormy 2: " Are you refusing to fill this bag?"
Ben : "I most certainly am"
Stormy 2 : "I'm placing you under arrest."
Ben : "Don't be ridiculous I haven't done anything. Listen, my cousin's a QC"
Stormy 3 who has up to this point been silent: "GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN!!"
Sometime later Ben, Luke and the droids wander out of a trooper station.
Luke : "I don't know how we got arrested. I thought the Force could have a strong influence on the weak-minded?"
Ben : "I feel like a pig shat in my head."
Luke gestures to the cantina : "Do you really think we're going to find a pilot here? "
Ben : "Here's the plan. First, we go in there and get wrecked, then we eat a pork pie, then we drop some Surmontil-50's each. That way we'll miss out on Monday and come up smiling Tuesday morning."
That's sort of what I was saying.
And yes it is a real mess.
Sure the Dark Side might be stopping their Jedi senses from tingling but a hired killer associated with creation of two armies and that hired killer has been trying to kill a senator trying to stop the creation of one of them, after defeating the other ten years back and a Jedi is behind both of them and they are JEDI??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's nuts.
And they actually looked surprised when they are being killed?
Guardians of peace and justice, my arse.
That's even more bonkers than having a huge death pit in your throne room (at least Jabba's had a trapdoor).
Maybe after a few hours fighting in the rain Obi-Wan and Fett have a man-hug and a beer and Fett just tells him he heard a rumor about some crazy old wizard living on a desert planet, planning to overthrow the government.
Lovely mockups Angel but even your abilities can't stop that wall of saber bait from looking hilarious.
It looks like they are doing the Conga.
This Japanese movie ticket looks cool:

I don't know?
Maybe IG-88 blew the extra troops up trying to take over the universe in revenge for all the battle droids killed in the Clone Wars or something.
Don't forget Travis from Blake's 7 (he wore a black glove over his too but his had a funky laser ring).
That's why I suggested having a big troop approach sequence (while the Rebels are in the bunker) showing them marching and flying in to take out the small band of Rebels, seen from many angles, so the audience thinks,"How the hell are they going to get out of this one?"
The assembled troops we see in the current versions are about the amount of troops you'd expect to be there anyway, not the entire Legion that Palpatine boasts about.
I wish I had painted it, it's from Erik Tiemens website, there's more here:

brash, have you seen ben_danger's lovely Jengo-Boba transformations?

In answer to your question Angel, try looking in the inside pocket of your jacket.
Timstuff said:
I don't really see the point in recoloring Jango. He's a different character from Boba, so he should have a different color scheme on his armor.
One reason for doing it would be to collapse the two characters together so that the man in the shiny suit in Episode II is the same guy in the beat up costume in Episode V.
If he never takes his helmet off (they made the same mistake in Judge Dredd movie), never loses his head and we never see that annoying kid the fan service at least has more resonance and the mystery guy remains a mystery and not some clone.
Jengo is a another thing Lucas screwed up.
Obi-Wan is sent to investigate a clue to the identity of the Bounty Hunter trying to kill Padme (who is trying to stop the creation of a new army). He follows him to a planet where they are making an army using Jengo as the template and then to a planet where Dooku is building a droid army (and Fett acts like his personal bodyguard) they use one army to fight the other and don't twig?
Someone has to seperate those two plotlines somehow.
Couldn't he follow Fett but Fett gives him the slip and he finds the Seperatist fleet massing near Geonosis?
Lucky break yes but at least Fett isn't directly linked to both armies.
I think most people would like to see the PT duels look more like OT ones but Mark Hamill frequently asked if he could use different fencing styles and was told by Lucas that lightsabers don't work that way (always in motion is the future, the past....).
It would be very difficult, if not impossible to do convincingly (just look how fake some of Dooku and Sidious' acrobatics look) and to pull it off you'd possibly have to stick Mark's head onto someone else's body.
It would be easier to do with Vader but only a little bit, unless you removed him altogether and replaced him with a double in a suit and matched it perfectly (something else they couldn't do in the PT).
Beefing up the ground battle is much easier and there are plenty of suggestions on this thread for how to do that.
I swear I'm not doing this just to be contrary but if Geonosis is to be less orange perhaps Kamino should be a bit more :
Essentially both locations are doing the same thing (building an army for Palpatine/Sidious) overlapping the two would underline that.
As well as undoing the red, would turning up Threepio's eye lights be a good idea?
He seems to be a bit dim at times in ANH.
Angels's can be found here http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-Prequel-Radical-Redux-Ideas-Thread/topic/9911/page/80/
Another for my set:
With all the talk about Alien recently I tried to make Geonosis look a bit more like LV-426 than Tatooine:
"Ah caused a body ur tois wee wee accidents. ye ken loch explodin' some gas an' crashin' th' bosses motur an' fur 'at Ah gie banished."
Only joking!
Replace all the Stormies voices with Kiwi accents, that's a good one (I hope Lucas isn't listening).
Darth Venal said:If you really want to save Boba Fett, why not just edit him out of Jedi all together? After all, there's no particular reason he has to be there. But if you really want to keep him, just have him in the Palace and then not on the sail barge.
It's not as if every character from the Palace could squeeze onto that sail barge.
A lot of people do want to remove him altogether. The scenerio I proposed was to keep him in but give him a reason for being there (as you say he has none in any of the current versions, other than to appeal to the inner Ric Olié of fandom and to tick off Lucas' got rid of list).
Love the new mattes.
I wonder what it would be like with a real sky with some slight movement in the clouds?
I'm trying to partition Hackintosh my slab too (it's currently Ubuntu'd or Um Bongo'd as I keep calling it).
Though I'm currently writing to you on a Mac.
Very different, but I think Monroville was thinking about the Vader half of the conversation (I'm not sure if it's in a usable state though).
Seeing as you have a Mac this might be useful :

I know what you mean but with Fett no longer Jabba's personal bodyguard (taking the Jabba scene out of ANH and having him not bother to attend the Sarlacc party) none of that infamy is on screen (it's just a product of the EU).
So he would seem no more a shady character than any other bounty hunter, sure he could still be famous but on screen he is more of an ambiguous character.
They are the only prequels we are going to have so we might as well make the best of them and unlike the OT there is so much that people aren't precious about so they can be a useful testing ground/learning experience for people new to the game.
I've seen some PT edits that really improve things and some of the ideas on the Radical Redux Thread show genuine promise.
As for the OT ROTJ has almost as much wrong with it.
I can't imagine anyone even suggesting some of the ideas for changes for a film like ESB.
And that promotes imagination.
So in a way Lucas' mis-steps get the little grey cells firing more because they were such a let down.
He is really only repeating what Ady himself has said (hopefully sometime next year but when it's finished) and I'm sure he meant it in good fun.
Find me two identical twins brought up on different sides of the world with the same accent and I might re-enter that debate.
There's a thought, what if all the clones in the PT had different accents.
Any chance to show this :

In fact replacing the Destroyer droids with Daleks would be cool too.
