I sure can. It will be on the DVD website I write for here in the next week as we are doing a feature on this, however I will post this part for you now just because you seem nice enough:

BOLD is in the film, non-bold was cut.

200 INT. MUSTAFAR-MAIN CONTROL CENTER-DAY

View screens EXPLODE around ANAKIN and OBI-WAN as they work their way into the Control Room. The fighting is intense. OBI-WAN is on the defensive as he jumps up on the table view screen in the center of the room.

ANAKIN: Don't make me destroy you, Master. You're no match for the dark side.

OBI-WAN: I've heard that before, Anakin . . . but I never thought I'd hear it from you.

ANAKIN forces OBI-WAN back into the Conference Room where the quarters are much closer. Sparks fly everywhere. ANAKIN jumps onto the conference table. OBI-WAN slides across the table, knocking ANAKIN over. OBI-WAN grabs ANAKIN’s lightsaber as he falls. OBI-WAN uses the Force to summon his dropped lightsaber. ANAKIN does the same.

202 INT. MUSTAFAR-MAIN CONTROL CENTER-DAY

The battle intensifies.

OBI-WAN: (continuing) The flaw of power is arrogance.

OBI-WAN stands looking at his former apprentice for a moment.

ANAKIN: You hesitate . . . the flaw of compassion.

OBI-WAN and ANAKIN lock sabers. OBI-WAN puts out his hand to use the Force to push ANAKIN away. ANAKIN puts out his hand to block OBI-WAN.
Both combatants are blasted backwards onto the control panels.
They regain their footing and the battle continues. ANAKIN kicks OBI-WAN away.
They battle around the room, and eventually the door to the exterior is knocked open. They continue battling out onto the balcony.

204 EXT. MUSTAFAR-MAIN CONTROL CENTER BALCONY-DAY

ANAKIN forces OBI-WAN down a narrow balcony outside the Control Room. He rips objects off the wall and throws them at OBI-WAN as he pushes him further and further along the walkway.

The balcony ends, and OBI-WAN is trapped. He looks over the balcony and into a river of lava.

ANAKIN cuts apiece of the balcony railing off, along with a control panel.
ALARMS SOUND, and a protective ray shield around the superstructure disappears. It tumbles into the molten abyss, disappearing in a puff of smoke. A small pipe connects the Control Center to the Main Collection Plant. OBI-WAN has no choice but to tightrope-walk out across the lava river while fighting ANAKIN.

205 EXT. MUSTAFAR-MAIN CONTROL CENTER BALCONY, PIPE ACROSS LAVA RIVER, MAIN COLLECTION PLANT-DAY

ANAKIN, following OBI-WAN, jumps down onto the flexing pipe, lands, and resumes fighting.

206 INT. MUSTAFAR-PIPE ACROSS LAVA RIVER-DAY

OBI-WAN and ANAKIN work their way across the small pipe, fighting ferociously as they go. OBI-WAN slips, throws his lightsaber up in the air, grabs on to the pipe, swings around, grabs on to an upper pipe, retrieves his lightsaber, and lands back on the original pipe. They continue to fight across the pipe until they reach the Main Collection Plant.

209 EXT. MUSTAFAR-COLLECTION PANELS-DAY

OBI-WAN and ANAKIN battle on the top of the multispired collection panels, jumping from one to the other. At the end of the collection cluster, a huge spray of lava covers the attachments that hold up the collectors. The frame begins to melt. It's raining lava. Both ANAKIN and OBI-WAN run for cover under the collection cluster. They continue to fight in the lava rain, darting from cover to attack, then quickly retreating to cover.
Support for the entire structure begins to fall away, and the collection cluster falls into the lava river. The Jedi continue their fight, climbing to the highest point on the tower as the rest begins to melt away as it rides the swift current down the river.

It bends toward the lava as they get out toward the end. The fighting gets fierce. OBI-WAN gets to the end and is trapped. The tower slowly starts to sink under the lava.

212 EXT. MUSTAFAR-COLLECTION PANELS-DAY

OBI-WAN realizes he is getting very close to the edge of the lava falls. He grabs a rope and leaps from the collection arm. ANAKIN follows.
ANAKIN and OBI-WAN continue their sword fight hanging from cables as they swing past each other.

214 EXT. MUSTAFAR-COLLECTION PANELS-DAY

From their cables, ANAKIN and OBI-WAN both spot something that causes them to stop fighting. The lava river ahead drops off in a tremendous lava fall.

SNAPPING AND METAL GROANS are heard as the main part of the collector starts to break away and move toward the lava fall. OBI-WAN looks around and sees a small floating platform making its way toward the tower.

OBI-WAN does a double hack-flip and lands squarely on the floating platform. He immediately leans to one side and moves away from the tower.

ANAKIN realizes he is doomed as the entire tower heads for the falls. In the distance he sees some CONSTRUCTION DROIDS. He swings back to the tower, climbs up and makes a running leap and miraculously lands on A WORKER DROID. The DROID is confused and chatters to his CO-WORKER. The giant collector goes over the lava flow and disappears in the mist of sparks below.

OBI-WAN heads for the bank of the lava river, but Anakin's DROID is faster. He catches up with his old Master.

OBI-WAN and ANAKIN continue the swordfight. They battle away, balancing on the tiny platform and puzzled DROID. ANAKIN, standing on the Droid, approaches OBI-WAN on the work platform.

OBI-WAN: I have failed you, Anakin. I was never able to teach you to think.

ANAKIN and OBI-WAN confront each other on the lava river.

ANAKIN: I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over . . .

OBI-WAN: From the Sith!!! Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil.

ANAKIN: From the Jedi point of view! From my point of view, the Jedi are evil.

OBI-WAN: Well, then you are lost!

ANAKIN: This is the end for you, My Master. I wish it were otherwise.

ANAKIN jumps and flips onto OBI- WAN's platform. The fighting continues again until OBI-WAN jumps toward the safety of the black sandy edge of the lava river. He yells at Anakin.

OBI-WAN: It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground.

ANAKIN: You underestimate my power!

OBI-WAN: Don't try it.

ANAKIN follows, and OBI-WAN cuts his young apprentice at the knees, then cuts off his left arm in the blink of an eye. ANAKIN tumbles down the embankment and rolls to a stop near the edge of the lava.

ANAKIN struggles to pull himself up the embankment with his mechanical hand. His thin leather glove has been burned off. He keeps sliding down in the black sand.

OBI-WAN: (continuing) . . . You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would, destroy the Sith, not join them. It was you who would bring balance to the Force, not leave it in Darkness.

OBI-WAN picks up Anakin's light saber and begins to walk away. He stops and looks back.

ANAKIN: I hate you!

OBI-WAN: You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you.

ANAKIN'S clothing blows into the lava river and ignites. Suddenly ANAKIN bursts into flames and starts SCREAMING.

215 INT. MUSTAFAR-VOLCANO EDGE-DAY

OBI-WAN looks in horror as ANAKIN becomes engulfed in flames. OBI-WAN can't watch him as he struggles to climb the embankment, covered in flames.

He runs back to Padme's ship as ANAKIN drops, smoldering, near the top of the lava pit.

Not sure about the merchandise part. He cut alot of characters, that would have certainly sold more merchandise.

Well, the incestual topic I brought up before.

'No ship that small could make it this far out into space' or something to that effect, yet Vader has a similar ship and seems to make it back to civilization ok.

"Once down the path of darkness, forever will it consume you", yet Luke goes down the path of darkness 3 times, the Cave, his swing at the Emperor and his assualt on his father out of rage. Yet, somehow he shakes that all off?

Blast points? And who was that accurate?

"There is another", yet her life is meaningless enough for Yoda to let her die?

Boba Fett's Jedi abilities allow him to know the exact course the Falcon will be taking at a slow rate of speed, well enough to tell the Imperial Star Destroyers to go ahead, land, take control of the city, set up a garison and deal and ultimatium to Lando Calrissian.
Even if this isn't so, even if they arrived seconds before Han did, they seemed to work it all out pretty quickly cause in a matter of seconds, the Bespin planes go from shooting down the Falcon, to helping it land and Lando is able to meet them on the landing platform, all in a span of about 40 seconds. In that 40 second span, all the Imperial Troops are able to hide, so Han and Leia don't see them. Not only that, but they don't see the troop transports that would have been needed to bring the troops down to the city in the clouds, which would have had to have flown right past them to fit the above time table.

Some WTF stuff:
Tank went to the Academy, did he die? Where did Tank go?
If a door is magnetically sealed, wouldn't it attract all the metal waste in the trash compactor?
How many Sandpeople did you see walking the way Obi-Wan says they did?
5 X-Wing's and a Corellian don't dare take their chances against the Dark Lord of the Sith, who is the strongest opponent to the Rebellion. Of course not, he's only drifting into space all by himself. Don't worry about it, let's get back and party.
Why does Chewy need a protocol droid while in a detention cell, and for that matter, why let him put it back together in the spare time? I've known people that have worked in prisons, and not too often do they give them things they can swing at you. Han can't get a bed with legs, but Chewy can tinker around with a droid in his spare time.

It's 2:30 and that's all I could come up with. I can try more if you like later on.

Would you kill those who wish to destroy your way of life? The US government enlistment went up tenfold after the 9/11 attacks. While not on the scale of that matter, the Jedi Order, in Anakin's eyes attempted to take over the Senate and the Republic, and then tried to kill the Chancellor, something against the Jedi Code. At that point, the Jedi Order of which he knew and trained to be a part of was no more and they were all traitors. They excluded him from everything, so why not this plot? He had no trust in them. Once he started down the path of the Dark Side, killing children only made him stronger. He had slaughtered children before in the Sandpeople, why not again?

Luke came so close to turning to the Dark Side and what was the GIANT momentous occasion that would have brought that upon? He was going to kill the Emperor in cold blood and kill his father because he threatened his sister. Anakin went to the Dark Side because the Jedi attempted to kill his 'father figure' in cold blood and in his mind, were holding back knowledge that would allow him to save his wife.

You want me to reply with seriousness, yet you use quotes from the OT as part of your dialogue. Much of what you brought up can be logically explained and has been. Some people choose to believe it, others don't. That's what divides Star Wars fans today. If you have a problem with Leia remembering her mother who she never met, but not the completely lazy use of Leia as Luke's sister in ROTJ, then I can't talk to you.

The OT is ripe with continuity errors that Lucas simply explains away with 'point of view', yet most don't care because they 'grew up with it'. Now that the PT has them, it's pitch forks and torches.

As for Vader turning on the Emperor, why bother at that point? Vader was just as much to blame for his lot in life as the Emperor was. The Emperor was all that he had left and all that he had to help 'keep the peace' in the galaxy. If he kills the Emperor, he is all alone, as Luke has told him he won't join him. Why kill the only person you have left, again?

Then you can make a chapter play list. In other words you can make the chapters play in any order you want. You can put both versions of the movie on 1 disc so you can select in the menu which one to play the original version or the extended version.


You wouldn't have the wipes, would you?

If I remember, this happened somewhere along the lines in the distribution.
There are also a couple different versions of it out there, as the original subtitle track wouldn't display on some dvd players and it had to be redone. There's also another version fixing a typo in the crawl.
That might be why some people have the brightness issue and others don't. There are different discs out there.



Mine came from Rikter, if that helps.

No problem, I have more I just have to get around to capping them.

Here's a short little deleted bit:

OBI-WAN: (quietly to Anakin) This time we will do it together.

ANAKIN: I was about to say that.

COUNT DOOKU jumps down to the main level.

PALPATINE: Get help! You're no match for him. He's a Sith Lord.

OBI-WAN: Chancellor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our specialty.

OBI-WAN and ANAKIN throw off their cloaks and ignite their lightsabers.

COUNT DOOKU: Your swords, please, Master Jedi. We don't want to make a mess of things in front of the Chancellor.

OBI-WAN and ANAKIN move toward DOOKU.

OBI-WAN: You won't get away this time, Dooku.

COUNT DOOKU: Don't think because there are two of you, you have the advantage.

OBI-WAN and ANAKIN charge COUNT DOOKU. A great sword fight ensues.

COUNT DOOKU: I've been looking forward to this.

ANAKIN: My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count.
------------------------------------------------

That line of dialogue isn't even in the script, yet it appears as a cut scene on the video game. If you watch the scene in the movie, you can see Dooku's mouth open to say something, yet it cuts away to the Jedi attacking.

So, with that footage being in the game, it will be easy to reinsert it back into the film for the 'extended edition'.

What are you talking about?

One of the quickest ways to check the brightness of a film is to see if the black widescreen bars that are created on some movies, such as MF's edits of the PT, is to see if the bars match the black 'space' elsewhere on the television. Just watch the beginning title card for his edits. The black is grey on a THX optimized TV (yes, I know you have to do it for each film you watch). Thus it's off. I'm not complaining, I just want to know of a quick way to fix it as I've promised about 5 friends free copies of it and want to give them the best picture as possible.

I don't know if Magnolia did this be fault or design - but I do prefer it this way (could be that my eyesight is just bad of course! lol)

Each to his own I suppose...


When the black bars on the widescreen do not match the blackness of the television, the brightness is off.

He's even admitted as much in another thread, if I remember correctly. I just wondered if there was something I could do at the burn stage to fix this problem. I really don't want to have to do alot of converting from VOB to AVI to VOB to DVD to fix it, ya know.

ROTS is neck and neck with ESB as the best Star Wars movie, IMO. It also solidifies my opinion that Lucas should remake Episodes 4,5, and 6 to eliminate the "dated" feel and take care of the long list of inconsistencies between the trilogies. I watched Star Wars after checking out Episode III, and if I was even more nerdy than I already am, I could have made a list a page long with all the problems that exist between the movies.

Of course, recasting is out of the question. Who could replace the likes of Harrison Ford or Alec Guiness? No one, obviously. However, the technology now exists that would allow Lucas to insert the characters into a newly digitized background.

For the sake of consistency, this must be done.








I'm going to have to agree with Sessler.

First of all, there's the whole issue that ESB and RotJ don't really feel all that dated in the first place, Especially the DVD versions.

Second, there is NO way such a digitized back ground would look or feel natural. Part of the reason the OT worked so well is because the world looked used.

Third, it would cost probably millions, or at least 100s of thousands to replace every frame with "Modern" effects. It isn't like the OT was shot against a perpetual blue or green screen like the PT was.


I agree with most of that, except for the 'used' look. That could easily be done with CGI, GL just chose not to in this trilogy. See Matrix Reloaded.

He just got really, really, really EXCITED!


This all goes in the vein of my extended editions I want to do. Insert dialogue that was cut that is availible through other sources or to change the building Zam flies through back to the way it appeared in the trailer. Of course, as I said before, I'm still in the middle of a 6 month computer failure that has me very bitter.
