They both have about the same amount of threads around here.

Heck, I'd be willing to send you a copy of my edit, for what it's worth.

If you wanted to see it.

Originally Anakin was to kill Dooku the way he killed Windu, towards the middle of the film.
There was no Grevious, because that character was created to fill in the gap that was left when they decided to kill Dooku off within the first fifteen minutes.
Obi-Wan wasn't sent to kill Grevious/Dooku either.

And it opened with a montage of the Clone Wars being fought on seven different planets, instead of the flat rescue of Palpatine.

Deciding to kill off Dooku and replace him with Grevious opened up a lot of problems, and I think ruined the story of the first half of the movie. (Which subsequently helped ruin the story of the second half.)

I got to all the files eventually, don't worry about it.

Very good! I'm looking forward to seeing your edit as a whole. Episode III is the hardest to edit, and is the one I'd like to alter the most.

I think LFL should just re-do ROTS, and make it more like how the earlier scripts were, before Grevious and all that stuff.

Surely by "one", you really mean "perpetually one more".

Story-wise, I think ROTS is a real let-down. Count Dooku is supposed to be the 8-ball of the Clone Wars, and he's killed off right at the start. Then they introduce Grevious.

I think ROTS would have been better if they'd stuck with their original story ideas. And had the ending be less like a powerpoint presentation. (And have Padme move to Alderaan at the end! WHY DIDN'T THEY DO THAT?)

Is there anything special involved in editing from a hi def source versus a DVD mpeg?

Can I just load it into the same software?

This is very exciting.

I know the expected release date has past so there's no point in rushing anything. But can you give us an updated ETA?

Good ideas, I think!

I'm a dunce at surround-sound editing, but if you or someone can get that line of Threepio's into the surround mix, I'd use it whenever I get around to ROTJ.

Also, do you think the scene where Leia meets Wicket could be safely removed altogether? That way we don't know what happens to her, and the Ewoks are first revealed when the gang are trapped in the net.

I just started reading the novel for the first time, and this is my first dip into the world of Lord of the Rings.

I don't want to see the movie versions at all until I'm completely finished, so I can be free to imagine on my own at least once first.

However when I do get down to watching them, this edit sounds great. Does anyone have them, who would want to work out a trade? PM me if so.

Naturally, the first thing I thought of was fan edit fodder.

Maybe there'll be enough Grevious dialogue to dub over ROTS.

Perhaps this is redundant, but do you plan on releasing a just color-corrected version, since you put so much detailed effort into it?

And the new barrel-roll shot of the X-wings... I love it.

School is over in a few days, and I'll have more time to do this sort of thing.

As for the OT... I'm waiting for better source material. Namely, the Darth Editous ESB and the Adywan ANH.

I'll keep you guys posted though.

Hey, DE, any idea what the ETA of this project is?

Just wondering, to plan my own editing accordingly.

This may help clear up Lucas's logic behind the character of Grevious.

While I still don't like it, at least now I understand it.

Are those screencaps a DVD version, taken from an HD source?

Either way, I'd download a torrent like that in a flash.
