Batman vs Superman: DOJ thread? (contains spoilers)
Time

Batman V Superman is being treated like complete fucking dogshit. No, the movie was not the best thing ever but it was overall good! People went into this movie with such high expectations and walked out disappointed for no reason. Yes, I was stoked for the film but I was shown in the trailers the best and the worst of what I was getting in the movie, I enjoyed the film because I knew going in that Jesse Eisenberg would be hard to watch and Ben Affleck would be brilliant. I have several gripes with the film overall but I think the poor ratings are undeserved.

Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace was a film that most people though would be just as (if not more) good as the OT. The movie turned out to be complete trash for more reasons than one could count and still it turned out with a score of 56% on Rottentomatoes and 65% on IMDB.

Batman V. Superman had all of its twists and turns ruined by trailers, leaks, and rumors. Anyone going into the movie should have known exactly what they were going to get but for some reason still acted like it was going to be the film of the century. The movie for the most part turned out to be good except for a few scenes, lines, sequences, etc. The movie got 30% on Rottentomatoes and 76% on IMDB. I don’t see how Batman V Superman deserves such poor ratings, as a movie it functions much more than The Phantom Menace yet people are treating it worse.

Cool, I agree that this would work pretty well.

And then when Chewie starts firing at stormtroopers, the music after Ben Kenobi dies in A New Hope plays:

Kinda mirroring Luke’s reaction to Ben dying.

Huh, I actually think the music for that scene is perfect the way it is but I’m excited to see/hear this version in action!

Help: looking for... Episode II and III extended soundtracks request for leitmotiv project

I was kindly given a superb expanded version of Episode II sountrack by a forumer, which will keep occupied for one or two months.

I now only lack Episode III. If someone knows somebody who has compiled an expanded soundtrack for episode III, I would be very happy to get the information.

A guy mixed a few unreleased queues from several sources but some of them still have sound effects in them, here’s his playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nYxLzlt4vQ&list=PL0dqWRYwKNGdnCpOqJsKcSWc5nJYgbY3A

The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread

Not sure if this was brought up before, but what if Palpatine wasn’t working the Feds and Separatists? Instead of fabricating a crisis to gain power, the invasion is “real” and he sees it as a chance to rise. Surely there are ways to go around this, and it would solve the entire galaxy looking like idiots for not finding out he was behind it all.

A bolder move even, would be to have Palpatine begin his reign with good intentions, becoming progressively more decadent until he has formed the Empire. It would have to be done in a way that realistically leads to him gleefully torturing people with lightning decades later.

All you would have to do in order to accomplish this is remove Darth Sidious’ scenes

Idea: Ecanem Motnahp Eht - The Phantom Menace Reversed Fanedit
Time

NeverarGreat said:

I really like the idea of opening the film with the escape from Naboo, as you illustrate with your video, but I feel like it cuts too much action from the film. For example, with your version of events there is no place for the Jedi attempting to cut through the Federation Ship, which is one of my favorite uses of the lightsaber and a good introduction to the Jedi as warriors.

Actually I do keep the Federation Ship scene in the third act, it’s a dispute to cancel the invasion and hand over the queen rather than just a trade dispute.

Would you want to see Anakin or Obi Wan in the new trilogy, portrayed by their PT actors?

I would like them return potrayed by their OT actors.
I’m sure they can do it with some clever digital editing.

They did it pretty well in Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow and Superman Returns so I don’t see why they would have issues doing it, I think it would be cool to see Sebastian Shaw again but I’m doubting that would ever happen.

Get ready for "Star Wars - Shroud of the Sith", a radical fan edit of "The Phantom Menace"

So, this is what I’m working with for the Neimoidian voices. In this particular scene, they are speaking Neimoidian, obviously. I also have the Viceroy speaking English to the pilot at the beginning of the film, but he speaks Neimoidian to the Queen.

They sound pretty good to me, although the protocol droid sounds to me like a rearranged. IMO the droid should speak english but if you want to record a new voice for it, it doesn’t have to be a girl.
