You know what? Screw it. Enough people have asked for this the past few years that, even though I wouldn’t want it, I’ll just release a version with the alternate (or original) ending. I won’t give it subtitles or commentary track or anything special, and I’ll just release the big mkv version. Anyone inclined can download it and reencode to their satisfaction.

It will be identical up to the point at which the medical robot comes out. It’ll be the original version through the end of the movie, save for removing the line “she has lost the will to live” and altering the Vader scream to the Russian version as in LOE proper.

^ No, I’ve gotten quite used to that being that way by now. However, there have been a few projects from others that have taken the core of LOE and modified that part and other things. See link below for one.

For me, the whole edit was shaped and crafted with this change in mind, so undoing that would mean I’d need to undo a great deal of what makes LOE what it is. It would need more than an ‘alternate ending’ feature. At the very least, reverting the order of scenes and which are included, taking a few good strides back in the direction of ROTS.

I’m still skeptical of Palpatine’s involvement in this, but we’ll see what happens.
I think he looks cartoony on this poster, though I wonder if he may be physically embodied differently in the film than in ROTJ, and if this is splitting the difference in order not to tip us off.
Is it the main poster, or a teaser?

Well, the time for suggestions for TAS is past, but I welcome your thoughts anyway.

I don’t think it’s a problem to only have Anakin list two qualities. When Padmé asks about love, he merely contrasts it with possession, then goes on to use a preferred term.

I am skeptical that lowering the pitch of Jar Jar’s voice would be seamless with all the ambient sounds and music; I couldn’t even begin to apply it well to Amidala in COD.
