Bob, a few things I'd cut out:

-The line "We need to warn the Naboo" If they're coming down with the invasion force, it will be too late to warn them.

-The line where Qui-Gon says the name of the gas. How does he know?

And I have one F/x suggestion:

-When the Jedi get up from their seats, don't have them ignite their lightsabers. Remove the blade ignition effect, so it just looks like they pulled out the hilts. Then, when they ignite their blades in the smoke after the droids open the door, it will make for a much more dramatic introduction to the lightsaber.

I really like what JasonN did with Sidious, removing the face so he looks like a Ring-wraith... while also deepening the voice.

Yeah, that's pretty much my preferred way to handle the "Sidious is Palpy" problem.

Tangental to that point, I wonder if the DVD prequel deleted scenes were ever completed in HD (some were never truly completed).

It was a bit suspect they weren't on the blu-rays, they have been used a lot in fan edits.

I guess Lucas sees the OT deleted scenes the same way he sees the OUT (not worth the effort).

I also doubt if he has much in the way of sources to mount a proper restoration of the deleted material (some of which the company denied existed, probably because they could be bothered to look).

Is it possible for someone to restore the original Prequel Deleted Scenes? Or at least make them appear to be in better quality?

Hey Frink, I know someone suggested a similar idea earlier, and that you were not a fan. However, I made this video in the hopes that you would reconsider. :)

Neat idea. I think it might actually work with a different song. ;)

Yeah...but it just doesn't have that kick that "WOAAAHHHHHH" has. But then again, what does?

Ultimately, I'm fine with Frink choosing either one, because I just think it's such a hilarious idea.

Can't Ady make an HD version that....[makes] everyone happy?

Never gonna happen.

Clever girl....

My problem with this is the same as it is in Revisited: It's just a music track playing behind a scene it wasn't composed for. The music wasn't made for that scene and it shows because it doesn't match up. I'll be happy with SWRHD and the choice of no music.

Ahem, Fantasia.

I'm not saying it hasn't or can't happen, just that it didn't work for me here. Also, wasn't Fantasia edited around the music so that it matched?

See, it's all a matter of preference. Can't Ady make an HD version that keeps all his original soundtrack additions intact, and a version that takes them out? Make everyone happy? Because I REALLY like the Imperial March/Mustafar Duel/Emperor's Theme additions. I really, really, like them.

Too bad there isn't a way to poke fun at the gaping plot hole of how Obi Wan was going to take Fett back to Coruscant in a little one man ship. ;)

Ask the Kaminoans, who have a full armada of warships to lend him something besides a one-man starfighter?

I would've thought if you were going to compare any Star Wars movie to Wizard of Oz, ANH would be the FIRST thing you think of. But that's just me.

princethomas said:

Wow. That is awesome! I knew I came to the right place. It has a very Wizard of Oz feel to it, that I think the OT was lacking too.

Uh.....have I entered a mirror universe?

Hey everyone. What'd I miss?

Has anyone actually heard of people being confused by Ghost Shaw?

Never in my life. I don't see how anyone could be confused by it at all. I don't see how anyone could be confused by either.

If nothing else, it would be grand simply to get in touch with some folks already happy to make fan films and ask them to film footage for us.  I'm not sure where to turn for that.  Johannus was looking to contact some folks in the UK for costumes, but some people simply want constumes for conventions and the like.  How could we get in touch with someone willing to film actual material?

I again will state what I said before, I think we currently have a good option for Fett's demise at the hands of Luke, following Ronster's suggestion.  However, I know I'd find it more fulfilling if Boba survived and got to face off with Han once more on Endor.  I'm not sure how we would accomplish this, especially given the limited footage and flexibility in the story.  But assuming we could film and integrate Boba Fett shots into the existing film, how could we actually create a scene where Han gets to take him out and bring about a more worthy ending for the bounty hunter?

I once had an idea to have Boba chase the Millenium Falcon down the Death Star hatch in Slave I, replacing the TIE interceptor. Would need to incorporate him in the space battle beforehand, so his presence makes sense.

I'm not a big fan of this idea (despite it being my own) but it's still food for thought. 

darth_ender said:

I hope I'm not coming off as rude.  It just makes more sense to me.  I always appreciate your input and ideas and I'm not trying to run them over.

Not at all dude. Sorry if I....came off as offended by what you thought you were coming off by.

.....

Yeah.

Haven't visited these boards in over a year now, but with TPM in theaters again, I finally got round to (trying to) edit the space battle at the end of TPM.

I always liked the design of TPM (not that there was anything else to like), especially the Naboo starfighters (visually and audibly) and the "Death Saturn" (as I like to call it).
By all logic, that space battle should have been awesome, but I have only seen it once or twice as I really just can't stand the way it plays out.

This was an attempt (more a proof of concept) to see if the battle itself could be made a bit more enjoyable (aka make Anakin a bit less useless/annoying)

Biggest changes:
- Anakin flying a starfighter is now part of the plan
- Anakin no longer arrives late to the battle
- Anakin knows how to fly
- Anakin _decides_ to take out the generator (instead of doing it all by accident)

Don't pay too much attention to the audio; it's a rough cut, and I'm not an editor, so I do mean ROUGH...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWNFfFLnESM

Love it. Although there are a few things I would do slightly differently.

- Anakin flying a starfighter is NOT part of the plan, but he decides he wants to do it, and proves himself to be an exceptional pilot in the end. After all, he is the best starpilot in the galaxy.

- I'd take out the "This is tense!" and the "Aaaaaaaaah!" lines.

Actually, Anakin being part of the plan is genius. Shows how much faith Qui-Gon has in the kid, and makes his actions less suicidal.

darth_ender said:

Okay, let me reason it this way: it's confusing.  Somebody who didn't follow our project would think, "What the heck?!  Why are there two shots of Anakin?"   Furthermore, it detracts from the emotion of the final scene if he is already seen, IMO.  Instead of more heartwarming feelings, I believe I would feel less.  It's an interesting idea, and I really did put some thought into it, but I just don't think it would work.

Okay, then I guess I'm for Sebastian Shaw

darth_ender said:

If you are serious (not the question that makes me wonder, but the way you ask it), it does seem a bit like overkill...on the other hand...

That may not be so bad either, especially the old and young versions both shown...but I'm still not so sure.

To me, the advantage of showing Anakin at the funeral (now placed as the very last scene for those who have not followed this thread long) is that Luke gets to see Yoda and Ben and feels, "Hey, there are those two guys I always knew were good role models and father figures...Nice to see them again."  Then at the funeral pyre he burns his father, unsure about his eternal fate--but then he sees his daddy's spirit!  "Oh wow!  My dad truly did redeem himself.  I thought I saw the last of him on the Death Star.  But now I know he's good to go."  It just seems like too much to show both IMHO.

Dude, it's Star Wars. I want it heartwarming and blatant. And no, that wasn't sarcasm XD

darth_ender said:

That is flippin' awesome, aalenfae.  You've brought what I think is a brilliant idea to life.  Of course I still hope we can talk you into doing a version with a Sebastian Shaw head, but again, I think your video makes for a very emotional ending.  I hope everyone else sees it the same way now.  That really is an awesome vid, and I personally feel it would be the ideal way to end the Star Wars saga.

Can't we have this AND then have all the ghosts at the Ewok Party? Young Anakin here, Old Anakin there? Y'know? Cake? Have it? Eat it? Y'know?

Couldn't just have a red stripe or something? This seems like too much.

TV's Frink said:

I understand how to watch it...it's the ripping part that isn't working. If anyone else out there can figure out how to rip it, please let me know so I can do likewise. Otherwise, I'm giving up on it. One brief shot of Anakin tripping is not worth this aggravation.

Uh......Google Chrome's Youtube downloader?

darth_ender said:

I think we can keep them out of the same shots, and like I said, we'll put it up for a vote.  I may be in the minority.

again, if we just made the Eclipse the size of a regular Star Destroyer, there would be no issue. It would just be a cooler (but smaller) ride alternative to the Executor. Just scale it down.

I'm totally fine with grey TIES, and blue interceptors and bombers. That seems like an awesome compromise to me. Everyone quit whining. There are worse things in the world.
