Just thought I'd pop in and say I'm still alive! ;) We've been moving into a new appartment...

I thought I'd update and say I am working on redubbing Mace in the council scene from ROTS where they won't grant him the rank of master.

The way I have it now (subject to change):

Yoda is stepping down from the council the following year and has been personally training Mace to take over as head master. Mace (unlike Yoda and Obi) has not liked or trusted Anakin from day one (just like Snape in Harry Potter). Becuase Yoda is stepping down he has decided to let Windu have final say in letting Anakin on the council. Of course the line "You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of master." is still there. Anakin says "What?!" Windu's reasoning is because he's too young to handle this kind of responsibilty (although basically everyone knows he just doesn't like him). Anakin says, "I understand" (although we can tell he's upset) and sits down. That's pretty much it right now. That's alot of info but believe it or not, it's all in the edit I'm attempting. I want to finish it and show it to you guys...but I'd like to know if anything sticks out to you that needs fixing....?

Luke: I won't fail you. I'm not afraid.
Yoda: You will be. You will be.

If this was to tie up with the prequel trilogy (along with exaggerated yodaisms) it would go something like this:

Luke: I won't fail you. I'm not afraid.
Yoda: Good this is. On the path to the darkside you are not. No problems have we. Fucked the emperor is.

 Hee hee! :D   Nice!

Good point too. Yoda would know if Luke had fear in him or not. And appearently he didn't. And if that's the case, why are Yoda and Ben worried about Luke going to save his friends?

Sorry if this has been mentioned already but watching the new trailer I noticed that the emperors dialouge has now been sped up to match the speed of Clives original performance! I love it! :D

 That's the whole point. The Dark Side twists and corrupts. There is no 'but I did it for such and such a good reason.' The Dark Side is an insidious cancer.

Exactly. Which is why Anakin giving rational reasons for turning to the dark side does not work.

 

 

Well, Yoda always said that fear leads to the dark side. Having fear of something (like loosing someone) is a rational reason that can lead someone to the dark side. The thing is that it cannot be the only reason, indeed. Because sometimes we all do bad things for good reasons without being bad persons in our heart. Anakin is doing bad things for good reasons, but we don't actualy really see when and why he became corrupted by the dark side. The movie needs scenes where Anakin learn more and more dark side powers that makes him feel unvulnerable and makes him loose his mind.

Well, then this whole turning to the darkside thing is Yodas fault (so to speak).

Since when was it FEAR that almost drove Luke to the darkside? It wasn't fear. Fear isn't mentioned by Vader in ESB/ROTJ  nor was it mentioned by Empy in ROTJ. Hate is mentioned...anger...um...i'm wracking my brain here...what else is mentioned?

My point is the whole fear thing is something Lucas made up for the PT. And while I understand where he went with it...'fear' being the main reason for turning to the darkside is NOT what happened to Luke. Hmm...maybe that was done on purpose by Lucas...to show the differences between father and son...now we know why Anakin turned (fear) and why Luke didn't (no fear)....sorry now I'm just rambling! :D

This is good stuff SilverKey! Also I agree with brash_stryker about the "to maintain a peaceful transition" line.

Thanks for the feedback on the vid brash_stryker! :D

Yeah, so talking about that scene with Mace saying "I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi"...how do you guys feel about redubbing Mace for the PT? I think it could go a long way...not only for his character but for the plot as well. Thoughts?

Not sure how doable redubbing mace entirely would be, along with what it would actually achieve. The lines would afterall be the same, right?

Who's for removing the scene with Watto saying he sold Shmi, and just having Anakin turn up at the Lars Homestead? (as well as cutting the wooden introductions from Owen and the one from Cliegg) That way it can be assumed that the Jedi/Anakin came back to at least free the poor woman after the events of episode 1.

 Keep his lines the same? oh no no no! Well, some would stay the same  ;)  But that is the beauty of dubbing! I will work on a video to show you what I'm thinking...

I DO like the idea of cutting Watto. The problem is *how* does Anakin know where she is? How could this be explained?

Thinking along those same lines: Why is she not freed by Anakin earlier? Or why don't the Jedi free her?

This is good stuff SilverKey! Also I agree with brash_stryker about the "to maintain a peaceful transition" line.

My first double post! Yay!

I've been sitting on this for a while...not sure if I should show it...but I thought it might get some conversation going:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsxwtYG1Dhk

(Give it a minute to finish uploading)

Some thought definanlty needs to be put into Anakin turning to the darkside. I can see why you might get rid of the "to save Padme" reason...and I can see why you would keep it. I think SilverKey and brash_stryker have both made good points.

I think what bugs me about the "to save Padme" reason is that when they meet up on Mustafar he's telling her he's turned to save her but then 2 seconds later he's talking about overthrowing the emperor and ruling the galaxy with her. It seems like in this scene (including the following scene with Obiwan) Lucas was trying to convey Anakin has gone "insane" for the darkside...which would work...but the problem is he's still using his reasoning skills. Does this makes sense the way I'm explaining it?

I think to make this scene with Anakin, Padme, and Obiwan work is to leave out the reasons why Anakin originally turned to the darkside. This would show that the darkside IS taking hold of Anakin...that's why Padme "doesn't know him anymore".

So I guess what I'm suggesting is to use the reasons given in the beginning of the film (distrust of Jedi and "to save Padme") and then by the time Anakin is on Mustafar he has become "drunk" from the power of the darkside so he has forgotten why he did turn in the first place. Make sense? Maybe? ;)

omg, david lynch turned down rotj??? i dont blame him, but it could have been SO much better!!

i have been thinking of an ESB style dream sequences. i love how the original clone wars series showed a dream of anakin and qui gon at the tree, and especially thought that anakins prophetic dream was really well delivered.

in regards to the alternative timing for the jedi purge as suggested by guitarfan, i have two ideas (one more radical than the other)

 

1 (less radical)

we build up mace windus character as a bit of a paranoid ass. he is constantly putting down anakin and palpatine, his suspicions have turned this once great master to a a bit of a loose cannon. during ROTS, he builds up suspicions that palpatine is the dark lord, an idea that is too dreadful or extreme to even be considered by the council.

at the crunch point of the film, mace decides to take matters into his own hands "i sence a plot to destroy the jedi", "if the chancellor does not relinquish his powers then he should be removed from office." mace does this (from a certain point of view) he (possibly alone) confronts the chancellor, declaring his intention to save democracy and the jedi order, palpatine coldly replies "you're too late".

we now cut to a montage of the jedi being slaughtered as windu and palpatine battle. it makes the jedi's battle seem futile and tragic, that even if windu is victorious in slaying palpatine, hehas still failed to stop the massacre. anakin rushes in and saves the chancellor from the obviously delusional jedi.

this idea would fit in well if we try and direct it more from anakins point of view. mace obviously isnt a paranoid ass, but if we force the viewer to only see 60% of the real story, then he may appear to be, so we are betrayed into thinking the obvious bad guy is the good guy.

2 (more radical)

obi wan defeats grevious, ending the clone war. a message is sent to the jedi to return to coruscant to celebrate the event. the streets of the capital are flooded with people chanting palpatines name. anakin looks happy with padme, and it feels like the film is going to end with this wonderful feeling of victory (like the end of TPM, but bigger and less gay).

anakin goes to visit palpatine, who is surrounded by senators, who are waiting for him to go the senate hall for the resigning ceremony. the senators leave. at this point palpatine reveals to anakin that he is the sith lord.

the film continues as usual or alternatively the 'less radical' paranoid mace windu can be intertwined with this.

enstead of the jedi being killed in the field of battle, they are enstead massacred in the temple, hundreds of thousands of troops charge, overwhelming them completley. yoda and obi wan are the only two who escape, who then follow through to their respective battles. anakin believes palpatine's lies etc.

i would like to see this idea, as it would be a complete emotional flip. as we near 2/3 into the film, we think we are about to get to a happy ending, for everything to go horribly wrong in the final act. it would be great for the celebration to be in daylight to contrast the burning jedi temple in the evening.

 

 

let me know if you even read all of this.;) idea 2 needs a bit more work.

 

has anyone ever wanted to see an edit of ROTS where there is a happy ending? my GF hates watching it because it upsets her too much.:P

 

WOW WOW WOW!  That is head and shoulders above what I was working on!  I love those ideas, especially Mace Windu being a paranoid, and intercutting the Mace/Palpatine duel with the Great Jedi Purge.  I also love the idea of a false "happy ending" just before the rug is pulled out from under the first time viewer.  The trick would be to build up Grievous into the major villian of the movie so that the viewer would believe that killing him would end the film, and to push the whole "sith lord" thing into the back of the viewers' minds.  Perhaps a complete lack of Sidious in the entire PT except for a holographic conversation with Nute Gunray in the first movie?  What appears to be a throwaway character turns out to be the orchestrator of everything?  I'm not sure.

I myself was basing my ideas more on what others (esp JasonN and GoodMusician) have done in their edits.  As I said before, I always thought that Anakin's sudden wild swing into the depths of the Dark Side was rather unbelievable.

OK, how is this for a radical idea: instead of killing off Dooku at the beginning thus having to have general grievous be the new leader of the droid army...why not switch it all up? At the beginning of the movie have grievous be some other villian for some other purpose (maybe he information...maybe he knows where Palpatine/Dooku is...?), Obiwan kills him, Obi and Anakin meet up, space battle, find Palps, kill Dooku, END WAR. From AOTC we already associate Dooku with being in control of the droid army. Remember what Obi said to Anakin in AOTC: "If we catch him we could end this war right now!". With this structure, it's easier for the audience to follow...Why did Lucas add grievous to ROTS?

I by no means haven't figured out the specifics so I don't know if it will work...but that makes more sense IMHO.

could he use the force and manipulate it to go like boomerang like in super star wars return of the jedi?

One of the problems with TPM is it's action sequences already resemble a computer game.

The duel particularly so with all those pointless platforms and shield gates, it's a real shame that there was no dialogue in there either, surely the Jedi would want to know more about this mysterious attacker.

If Maul used the Force to throw his sabre around what's stopping the Jedi from using the Force to snatch it off him?

There are two of them and one of him.

 

That could be played upon - in fact, if the Jedi are supposed to fight "fair", maybe Qui-Jon tells Obi "No!  I will deal with him myself!" and it is a Jedi rule that you never play unfairly (duels have to be one-on-one and/or Jedi are taught to handle things as individuals).  Maul during the fight (with or without hand gestures) has metal parts fly into Qui-Jon and uses his dark side force powers to "boomerang" his double blade at Qui-Jon ala the Rock Man in NINJA SCROLL.

During this, Obi watches impatiently and at the first sign of Maul "cheating" he rushes in to help Qui-Jon, essentially breaking Jedi standards to do the obvious: help his master.

Hell, how hard would it be to make Qui-Jon's hair white or silver to reflect that he is much older and thus capable of being taken down?

 

Welll this would fit well with what happens in AOTC "no i'm taking him now!" "no anakin! no!" It's Obiwan talking from experience this way. But then how do you explain the Dooku fight in ROTS? Hmmm

ben_danger said:

yay! thanks for reading the mini essay SSWR!;) snape really hits the nail on the head. ultimatley now we understand and pity him the most. i agree the second one is a little ambitious. the essense though is to make us feel like the happy ending we might intially expect is merely seconds away, only for a tragic avalanche to hit straight afterwards, which could perhaps be gained through other means. i can imagine that maybe everyone seems relieved that the war is over, but mace is still pursuing his sith theories.

it may give "if what you have told me is true, then you have gained my trust" some added significance.

 Cool yeah I know what you're aiming for as far as the feeling and attitude of the movie goes...and I hope it's doable...

More thoughts on Windu: There are too many times to count in the PT when Yoda and Windu exchage glances...now with this new take on Windu these glances *could* take on new meaning. Maybe Yoda is giving Mace a chance to prove himself with these theories...? Hmmm...I will soon need to elaborate on an idea I have had for a new scene in TPM that could help with these ideas and better establish the Jedi/jedi order...  ;)

 I don't know if it's possible but I *REALLY* like these ideas. I think the whole Mace Windu thing could be pulled off more easily. When he says things like "the dark side of the force surrounds the chancellor" we could have the jedi blow him off...hmm...now that I think about it...Windu could be like a Snape character (from Harry Potter). That could work great! The audience could be hating Windu in TPM and AOTC...which *I* already do...and then realize in ROTS that he wasn't wrong about Anakin or Palps at all! Maybe then we'll sort of respect his character! On a sort of side note: I think Windu should be redubbed.

As far as the second idea goes...again, I like it alot...not sure how to pull it off...hmmm...I'll have to ponder this...

In an attempt to get things back to the movie..

Ady, could you look at the 'levatating' boxes and rocks on Dagobah?  Most of the time, the effect works pretty well, but sometimes it seems more like props on string in some shots.

Also, the trick the stage hands used to lift R2 looks bad.  It just looks like he is being lifted up by a platform on a jack.  I guess I think it ought to look like everything is floating on a space station, just bobbing up and down and not so static.

 Yes I'm thinking of the rock specifically...when it touches down on the other rock...it's definantly on a string...

ben_danger said:

perhaps try and change the animal roaring noises, especialy the arachnid thing. i reckon you should have a go too

im also working on the jango/boba hybrid character, but if you were going to stick with jango, perhaps obi wan could kill him as someone suggested earlier?

another biggy, would be the iconic line "around the survivors a perimeter create"....makes me spin everytime!;)

 

got a bit more carried away on janboba...this would be impossible to do. though there are yellow kneepads this time!:) the gun really looks pathetic compared his elephant blaster in ESB.

Well, I'm not sure about the animal sounds...I've had a hard enough time trying to find something new for the Rancor in ROTJ! :D

Obiwan killing Jango? Well...that actually might be doable...i'm thinking of some specific shots that could work...though I guess I *am* leaning toward Jango being Boba...

Yeah Yoda's line is terrible...

Your pic is great, BD! :D

OK, so I've been tinkering around with the arena scenes in AOTC and I would like to know everyones thoughts on these few scenes...?

Right now I'm gonna attempt...

-taking out Baby Boba and having Jango (if he's actually Boba or not) fly away at some point

-cutting out Mace/Jango fight

-Mace will say *alot* less...if anything

-cut out 3PO and R2

-rearrange *alot* of the shots to make things more dramatic

I don't like cutting alot out of the movie but there is alot of flab in these few of scenes...

So...thoughts...?

I must throw my 2 cents in here and just say: WOW Adywan! :D

that seems a little, i won't beat around the bush. i don't like it.

It would be helpful if you beat around the bush a little bit.

What don't you like about it, the idea, the execution (and if so what about the execution)?

 

i don't mean to offend u at all, it just seems off for endor. i understand wat ur saying with the ewoks and all, but i just can't see them making idle carvings.

 

You didn't offend me I assure you, I just sought clarification.

Most forest dwelling tribal societies have some form of artistic expression and they worship Threepio so they must have a spiritual sense and it is theistic to some degree because they think he is "some kind of god".

They decorate themselves with bones (they are prepared to eat their enemies and even the friends of their sort of deity) they seem to respect warriors (they were going to eat Luke, Han and Chewie who gave up without a fight but didn't eat Leia who shot a couple of Imperials). And they have an oral tradition so no writing which would suggest pictographic art might be a feature.

It just depends on what level of and style of expression you think this culture would employ.

 

 Bingowings, I like your reasoning behind those great pictures you made. I think something like this should be done. Anything to help give more life and character to the ewoks! (face it people...they *can't* be cut out of the movie) :D

Thanks for the link! That's probably the coolest thing I've seen on SW.com for a while. I played around with the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter theme for about 10 minutes, imagining a battle :)

If they release more soundbites (they're free of music), this could be a great resource for building a soundtrack for a fanedit.

Um wow.  I thought my AT&T Ringtones were awesome, but this is a whole new level of usefulness!

If these (the ones at starwars.com) are new and will be useful for fan edits....is there a way to download them?

Great work on the droidfactory, ben_danger and SSWR!

I think the original scene is pretty good, it makes for some nice Star Wars action. I'm always happy to see different cuts of this scene, because I think that had it been cut a little tighter, it would have been a bit more exciting. You both did that, and I liked both of your takes a lot! I have to admit I liked SSWR's cut a little better: ben_danger took out a bit too much, taking out whatever drama it had.

What I liked best about SSWR's version was Anakin calling after Padme. I agree he overdid it a little, but in the scene as it is, Anakin gets on the conveyor belt to rescue Padme, but as the scene progresses, he leaps from belt to belt, as if not concered by saving Padme anymore. I liked that your brought that back into the scene.

Great experimenting with the music too. Has anyone ever tried to put in the music Williams wrote for the scene? I have tried to put the scene together with that music, but I couldn't really make it work. The music is great, really fits with the look of Geonosis, but I think Williams wrote the music for a different cut of the scene (which happened throughout AOTC).

Here is how I would try to put the scene together (which I'm going to try once I'm finally done with school :P): I'd cut the scene a little tighter, mostly cutting out Anakin's jumping about, making it look like he is going after Padme. Anakin calling out to Padme like SSWR did would fit nicely here.

I like Williams' music for this scene, so I'd keep that too. Not the whole track, but parts of it to highlight the action here and there. The rest of the sound could be the sound effects, this could make the factory feel a bit dirtier. Darkening the scene a little might also help a little here (and mask some of the bad effects).

Most cuts remove them completely, but I'd keep in R2 and 3PO, because I don't think Anakin saving Padme with an out of context, casual Force gesture really works. I'd cut out all of 3PO's antics: he is pushed off the ledge, and we don't see him again untill the scene is over. After Anakin and Padme are captured, I'd try to rotoscope R2 and 3PO out of that shot after the arena battle (with 3PO saying he had a peculiar dream), put in a droidfactory background, and put in a line of 3PO saying something like "we'd better get out of here". This would also eliminate them from the arena battle.

Maybe this is a little too ambitious, but it's something I'd might give a try someday, because I think there is great potential in the droidfactory.

You make some interesting points, SilverKey. I guess it depends on what you want to achieve in your edit. I wanted to make Anakin more of a hero and not a whiny bitch like he is. So having him save padme certainly goes a long way...but I see what you're saying about anakin and his 'casual force gesture'. I just don't have another shot I can use there...sadly.

I think if I could add more dialouge to this scene it would be something along these lines:

-padme falls on the belt

anakin: "padme! stay right there!"

padme: "anakin!"

Anakin: "I'm coming!"

-fast forward. padme falls into the lava holder thingy

-padme cries out. anakin hears her and sees where it came from

anakin: "padme! Don't worry! I'm coming!"

I don't know...something like that. ;)

I think using that shot of the droids from the arena might be great...but IMHO having the droids in this scene just doesn't compute to me. Lucas was *trying* to bring back that OT "feeling" by putting the droids in there but it just screwed things up. Why oh why the CGI 3PO antics? Why does R2 save padme? I understand that it's not out of character for R2 but it makes anakin being in the scene pointless...unless R2 saved him as well...but that's going too far I think...  ;)

Again, my 2 cents...

sketchrob said:

Yeah the OT music is cool only thing is the editing/pace doesnt reflect the speed of the old-school Williams music. Yo me, the action feels sluggish when ran under the OT tracks... Just my 2 cents :)

 

 I know it's different but I would actually say that that's backwards. The OT had *fewer* quick cuts and the music accented the actions on screen. The PT has the quickest cuts in the action scenes. And Williams' score in the PT doesn't have the same (for lack of a better musical term) "accents" for the onscreen action. If that makes any sense! ;)    My 2 cents.

Oh I agree about the PT music, but I think what I meant was someting Ady had alluded to before, about the editing in the PT is not the same as in the OT. Great job either way!

Oh! Well then I guess we agree! :D

Alright here we go, ben_danger  :D

See I told you the eye droid with a scanning laser idea had legs.

There are a few too many calls of "Padme!"(I half expected someone to call out "Doctor Scott!", "Janet!") and the OT music doesn't always capture the mood (it's sometimes heroic when it should be evoking dynamic tension).

But on the whole a successful stab.

 

 Yes I do believe I stole that idea from you! ;)

I *did* wonder if I had too many "padme!"s in there...believ it or not I actually had more than that!

And I know what you're saying about the OT music...I feel I'm not partiicularly good at finding the right pieces...you know it's funny because in the original Lucas and Burtt butchered williams score...and now I did too! :D

guitarfan01 said:

SSWR, I really like that cut, it makes it seem a lot more frantic and there's tension in the scene for probably the first time I've ever seen it.

In addition to what was mentioned earlier, when Anakin releases Padme through the force, his lightsaber is on.  I know that's because you repurposed a shot from earlier in the sequence, but that does need to be fixed, if possible.

Otherwise, a really good job.  Though it makes me feel like I'm flying the Millennium Falcon in X-Wing Alliance. :p  Is there any way you could get some good JW music from another source, maybe an Indiana Jones film or Minority Report, or anywhere else he's done action music?  Obviously, it can't be anything super-obvious, but an action cue from Minority Report or something might work.

 Thank you for the great feedback! Yeah, I don't have a way to get rid of the lightsbaer in that shot.  :(    darn after effects so expensive...

Again I don't feel very confident at picking out the music...I have a version of the vid with just the sound fx...anyone want to take a stab at it?

wow! that is so cool! i cant believe i didnt think about him pulling the cup thing down with the force, that is such a better idea. the eyeball was a great idea too, i think the lack of geonosians was a good idea too. i like the way he is calling padme alot, i may try and find her wailing anakin from clone wars a bit if i do it again on mine.

 

so...heres my attempt. after watching yours it really doesnt compare, i aplogise for not getting it out at the same time, internet is being a tad annoying uploading stuff, took all night!:P im afraid i didnt have enough time to do sfx, and as the original scene is so thick with musc its hard to isolate any. the general idea was to make it like the chasm scene in ANH and to give the innocence of luke/leia to anikin and padme.

 ben_danger! Dude there is some really good stuff here! I love the chasm music at the beginning...very OT and creepy! I think my other favorite part is Anakin being knocked off the belt by the arm...it would be great if there was another shot of him landing and then have Fett come in with the droids...

But you're right...it does give that feeling of the Luke/Liea innocence...

Again, great job!

And thanks for the feedback...Yeah I really wanted more dialouge between the anakin and padme...I wish I had anakin saying "where are you?!!" and stuff like that...darn...
