Should have General Grevious been a reconstructed Darth Maul?

Yeah, the EU often seems like a giant Gaudi structure.

The thread over at the GS is typical for there. I guess I can see where they are coming from, but I think movies are weak when they rely upon extensive outside material to be understood or enjoyed. Episode III (and Grevious) should be able to stand on its own without the EU. If it needs a crutch (like the EU) to prop it up, it is a sign of weakness.

Ady,
I'm working on the blurb for the back of the cover. Does this sound ok?

"Star Wars: Revisited represents perhaps the boldest and most sophisticated of any of the fan edits of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Inspired by the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition, fan editor Adywan has created a breathtaking and powerful version of the film. Star Wars: Revisited not only fixes errors and technical limitations to the film that should have been made in the first Special Edition, but gives us a whole new vision for the movie, tying it to the rest of the Star Wars saga while correcting many of the excesses of the original Special Edition. Shots are re-mastered and restored, special effect shots are re-composited and whole new sequences are created, giving the viewer a taste of what the Special Edition could have been. Accompanied by a new Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, Star Wars: Revisited provides an exciting new visit to a galaxy far, far away."

Over on the SW Preservation and Edits threads, there has been some talk of whether the prequels could have benefited if the disposable villian of General Grevious would have been a cyborg version of Darth Maul. So I thought I'd bring the discussion to a bit wider audience. Could Episode III been better if Darth Maul were back for revenge?

I think its just on hold for a little.
I hope it doesn't die, this was the greatest Fan Edit idea EVER!


Since Ady's ANH edit is about done... this means exactly what for the Ranch?

And I'm thinking about starting a poll under General Discussion about the whole Maul/Grevious idea.

I think it would be too strange to have vocals in the music. However... if that is what it takes for the sake of completion..
I think I'd rather have a cruddy track in the main thing and the track with vocals at the end as a bonus track if such a thing is possible. But that is your call.

BTW, you have the Fox fanfare from Empire listed and the main title from TPM in this project. Any reason why you picked these?
