ben_danger said: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.

MORE CHANGES COMING SOON
I have changed the title, it’s a hint to what might be special about this edit…😃
+1 I'd like to know where to get the high quality German Broadcasts. Can't find them anywhere
Hi, can anyone recommend me some good edits of the prequels? Especially Episode III? I’ve already seen Attack of The Phantom and loved it. the Adigitalman edit and the slumberland edit both looked very different and both interesting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdJDAPDltMM&feature=related
Even more funny considering that this is pretty much what Episode III ended up being...
It's definitely still worth it to work with the highest quality sources possible though so If you decide to crop the picture on a lot of scenes it will still be in a least DVD quality.
If the edit uses the deleted scenes (only available in DVD res) I'd think HD is out of the picture. However working with HD and eventually converting to standard def is a good idea
Amazing. I'm speechless. A little work and it will be perfect
ChainsawAsh said:Handbrake is pretty fantastic - the newer presets can be a little odd, though. I'd recommend either using the "iPod Legacy" setting or the "iTunes" setting with the bitrate at 1500 instead of the new standard "iPod" setting - the new "iPod" setting has a standard size of 320x*** as opposed to the "legacy" setting's standard size of 640x***.
Well I think that the new iPod setting is just meant for the iPods 320x240 screen while the new "Apple Universal" setting or whatever its called was created to get the best possible quality that will work on all apple devices.
joshkitchen90 said:Does anybody know how I can get a copy of the Phantom Edit, and its sequel? Or downlaoding it without getting viruses?
you can get attack of the phantom via torrent, just search it. Phantom edit...idk
I would love to see some Coruscant in Jedi. Just to bring the whole thing full circle.
Ripplin said:JediMasterFisher said:Thank you so much for handbrake! It worked beautifully!
And is it properly framed, or stretched like mine turned out? (forces the widescreen to stretch to fullscreen)
Yeah, Handbrake keeps the proper aspect ratio by default. The only thing you have to worry about on the Star Wars films is the alien subtitles (you have to select the right Track) but Ady's are already hard-encoded
JediMasterFisher said:I want to put revisited on my iPod does anyone know a good program to do so?
if you have the DVD5 or DVD9 use Handbrake
Merry Christmas (to everyone who celebrates it) and to everyone else Happy Holidays.
I got a new tripod and a blu-ray player :D
Happy Holidays! (sorry if that's too politically correct for you guys lol)
Siliconmaster482 said:Happy holidays, everyone. The weather here can't figure out whether to rain, snow, or sleet. Right now it stopped doing anything to ponder the issue. :P I cannot wait to see what new suggestions appear next. Keep the ideas coming. :D
lol same here. Happy Holidays everyone!

I love Grevious in that series. He is so damn badass. In the second clip he sounds too much like Vader in ANH though.
thank you! yes he runs away everytime, but in the novels he does also. they way he cutted through the clones to get to palpatine, damn you want badass? grevious is badass.
In that series. The problem is that Grievous in ROTS is nothing like the Grievous in that series.
skyjedi2005 said:Sorry man. I thought i remembered your comments in the clone wars tv thread to that effect.
If i remembered wrongly i apologise.
As for Episode 1 and how the film was shot etc. I think it was documented somewhat by American Cinematographer and Cinefex magazines.
But David Tatterstall Cinematography really does not do the same as Gil Taylor. I realise he researched the look of the original tatooine photography and stuff. Not just Gil Taylor, the cinematographers on the original trilogy were just better imho. The same with the original indiana jones trilogy.
Lucas and Spielberg got these replacement Cinematographers who were not as good, again imho.
Of course Ben Burrt is no Marcia Lucas when it comes to film editing either.
But then again george uses the avid system as far as i know and does not edit the same anymore himself. He does not cut film as he no longer even uses film.
You know that cutting a film used to refer to piecing together the celluloid with editors glue or cement, on a moviela or an upright KEM editing station. I know almost all of the phantom menace was shot on 35mm motion picture film but was not physically edited. It was digitized then edit in computers and printed back out onto film. Thereby losing quality in the image. Lucas could now go back to the camera oneg and get a 4k scan but i don't think he would want to spend the money on it. Besides the edits that were done on computers would have to redone and reassemble the movie from that point.
Computers are just a tool. Digital Video is too. It's what you do with them. Plenty of good looking movies have come out on digital by now, the format has matured, AOTC was an early adopter which Is why it looked bad and both digital prequels just completely ignored the look of the originals and went for it's own look. ROTS didn't look bad, it just looked very CG and not like the originals.
I still believe they should have went with 80's stock and more practical effects though, for continuity's sake.

Gaffer Tape said:I actually caught the tail-end of that episode last night, and that's been my first ever exposure to The Clone Wars. Other than the "droidekas" so poorly missing Jar-Jar (for a second, I really thought he might bite it... and the image I pictured made me laugh), it wasn't so bad. But I only saw about three minutes, so I don't know...
But as for what you said, SilverWook, it seems we're supposed to believe that the Jedi Council has the same intelligence as Jar-Jar Binks.
Yoda: Senator Amidala. Pants of Young Skywalker you have in your bed. Understand the connotations, I do not!
Oh, and I was going to say underwear at first, but my own signature reminded me that that's just not possible in Star Wars.
ROFL
Are you one of the few fans that were upset with the lack of the original theatrical prequel trilogy on DVD? Forget the OT you say! They already have been released on DVD! We don't have the theatrical prequels at all! Well, your prayers have been answered by Lucasfilm with the premiere of the GUPT as bonus material in the new holiday DVD sets! Now enjoy the prequels as they were seen in theaters in their original theatrical aspect ratio (in non-anamorphic 4:3) Artificial grain and other filtering have been added to truly make these discs mesh as a saga with the 2006 GOUT set! Here are some exclusive screenshots available nowhere else!
P.S. If you haven't figured it out yet this is a joke thread
Josh said:umm, I took a try at recording boba, ummm ya *silence*
Anyway, could anyone try to sych the audio to the video

EDIT-It does not seem to work, oh well, it's for the better lol. I'm curious to see how you pulled of boba!
hmm. It seems it because you only included the project and not the audio files. you need to export it as a wav or something.
stossmo said:Erikstormtrooper said:AxiaEuxine said:What do you plan to do? Have Dooku cut off Anakin's arm, sigh and then board his ship and leave?
I hate to keep popping in with other edits to check out, but ...
The Phantom Editor's version of Episode II (Attack of the Phantom), successfully removes the lightsaber fight between Yoda and Dooku. Dooku does some force-throwing and lightning, and then he just reaches over and causes the column to start falling onto Anakin and Obi Wan. As Yoda stops the column, Dooku gets away.
Seriously, any time Yoda has a lightsaber battle with a Sith, I feel like I'm watching the dali lama and Osama bin Laden have a knife fight.
really? my version doesnt excise the lightsaber fight. He explained in the commentary that he worried removing it would take too much from the movie and he ultimately kept it. Ide be interested to see the version you have if that could be arranged.
If you click on the "phantom editor" symbol around that part it takes you too a cut where he removes the fight.
Well I've been experimenting with a trial of AE and a very cool tool called Colorama which can adjust the opacity of certain shades individually. Again, this might be bit drastic but I think I've come up with something.
