it would be impossible, but it would be interesting if he turned earlier and was pretending to be good. but thats silly.
to be honest the AD ep III cut was ruined IMHO by the Liam Neeson lines insertion. Ep III, was a bit too busy for my liking, less would definitly be more. the only adition of voices i would support would be if we were to edit anakin skulking in palps office as discussed on the other thread, it could even be like the padmes ruminations scene, just loads of voices putting pressures on him.
- would it be possible to have the jedi conversation about removing palp from office leading to windu doing it, so the jedi almost did a bad thing. ui hate how black/white things are. the jedi should make mistakes, even moral ones.
things id prefer to see in an ep III edit;
anakin with a red saber at the end fight! its on youtube and really looks awesome
removal of vader in the suit. they really butchered it in ep III. id much rather see it gone.
removal of padmes death, and maybe even alot of the twins birth, we could just see her deliver, then maybe cut to the discussion about them, so we never find out what happens to her, would remove her death.
- perhaps if she is insanely whimpering due to her stress we could assume she is relieved of the children because of a nervous breakdown?
grevious - maul hint perhaps? could be in replaced dialogue, but if not, clone wars series could provide alternative dialogue.
the whole obi wans additional training thing, really unnecessary. if it had some form of hint in ep II or earlier in II i wouldnt mind, but as i said, the film is busy enough, and when we are winding down to the end of a film we dont want to be confronted with more titbits.
check out darkhelmets dialogue tweeks, they work much better
darth plageis creating anakin
trim anakin-obi fight, and even find a more tasteful yoda/sidious fight, id even be tempted getting rid of it all together, or at least trimming the lightsaber action. id much rather see a dumbledore vs voldemort style fight.
trim mace vs sidious of the silly jumpy bits. have you seen the reborn version of it? they did an amazing job!
what if order 66 was reworked? i dont know how, but what if it happened before windu goes to the office, and ani turns? it could be a retaliation taken against him.
no death star!
hope my ramblings help!
I like the Voldemort/Dumbledore style Idea. I think a way to make Anakin's fall more believable is to distance Anakin's becoming Lord Vader from his later evil deeds. The way it happens he suddenly turns and then decides to kill some kids. There needs to be some distance there.
No to removing the Death star, Vader in the suit or Padme's death. It may work in Ady's edit but I personally wouldn't do it in mine.
One FX change that would be cool though would be to have the Republic adopt a universal gray/black/red color scheme for their ships and troops. The blue and yellow trooper markings would be recolored red or white. This, however, is beyond my capability.
