[[ – UPDATE!!: The FTP is back up and I just uploaded the new Index, but I have yet to reupload everything so Currently Episode II is the only thing available – ]]
Hey everyone, I’m kinda new here but you may be somewhat familiar with my other thread on my Battle For Naboo re-edit or from my other videos on YouTube under my name on there, BrachioInGen.
If not, my videos on there predominately are videos from the Star Wars Saga/Jurassic Park Trilogy where I take scenes that have eaither alternate takes, or music that was unused and I replace the music back into the scene.
Anyways, in my Battle For Naboo re-edit, it came to some peoples attention that on JWfan.net, I had led a project of compiling and correcting the scores to Star Wars. Currently, I’ve only done Episode I and Episode III. Not much was released for Episode II in the games and such but like the OT, there are plans to work on that.
To give you an idea of what I’ve done, I’ve taken the UE, Album, DVD, DVD Feturetts, and all the video Game rips and compiled THE complete score including alternate takes.
The track list for Episode I follows:

Anyways, I’ve been given permission to allow you all to download my edit as long as you have the UE and Album.
Also available are my edits for Lapti Nek… so far thats all I have for the original trilogy. But more will come.
Hey all.
Seeing as I’m new here, let me give a bit of a back story.
With the help of some people on JWfan.net, I finished putting together quite possibly the most extensive fan made release of Star Wars music ever with my 4 disc (nearly 5 hours), complete score of Episode I including alternate takes, unused cues, interviews, live performances, concert recordings…etc.
Well, I was talking to someone recently and they were very interested in the fanedit and were familiar with my edits on YouTube (under the name " BrachioInGen " ). He asked me if I would consider doing one of “The Great Duel.” I said sure, and started out by lookng for unused material, as I’d been told the reason they used different music was because it was re-edited.
Well, I tested that theroy and found it to be false. That the track actually fits quite well, if not beig too short actually.
It then occured to me that I had found unused shots in the DVD feturettes (that’s all I use plus the film) from earlier parts of the film, so I decided to go back and make a complete edit using my complete score.
The changes were extencive. I had to change orders of shots, remove things, restructure parts… and in the end, I gained a far better understanding of what exactly John Williams was saying with the cues: what specifially was the music meant to accompany.
And this is the result.
The entire sequence is broken down. A lot of things with the gungans were restructured as well as the hangar battle. Jar Jar moments were, strangely enough, almost entirely eliminated. Shots are moved around to where they are meant to be and music is synced up appropriatly with the action. Several unused shots are re-incorporated into the sequence as well.
Now, you’re probably wondering “How can you POSSIBLY know how things were in the original cut?”
My answer, I worked with what I know:
I know John Williams has specific visual cues he tries to accompany.
I know the order of the cues.
I have the original cues.
and I have a good eye for this sort of thing.
So, all of this combined, I can say that the edit I’ve made is quite nearly what the original cut was. There are undoubtedly differences, but I can say that the general idea is the same and the evidence is in the videos.
So… take a look, let me know what you think…
NOTE: I had originally hoped to include the film SFX in the videos as well. I ripped all the audio channels and did my best to diminish the music and just leave the SFX… unfortunately, there were too many scenes where the music was simply too prolific and without blasting your eardrums out, there wouldbe no way to distinguish between what as where.
Also, certain scenes like “Anakin Takes Off” and “Battle for Naboo III” are very nearly how it is in the film. Unfortunately, in the fim, they seem to have purposely moved the music off of the visual cues established by the score. I wanted to match the cues, so hearing both the film and mine being slightly off from eachother was another drawback which led me to the decision to simply use music and video.
