I'd say it works better without. That music is for a scene with a much greater emotional impact. Not that Qui Gon's death is bad for it, but this is the end of one movie, not three.

Yes, he was sucked in, otherwise he would have fallen into the bottomless pit below him.

I think that the choice of music can fix a lot of the issues with it. The Dan Edit by Yads has the Luke and Leia theme instead, which works much, much better.

Return of the Jedi is about everything being set right at the end. The sad part is Darth Vader being redeemed and then dying in front of his son. :(

Clearly it is emotional enough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_K4mAD8xnc (wink)

That sounds cool. What I meant was that it's too epic, there's billions of CGI objects, lava everywhere, so many blue and orange things to look at, and it's a little bit of a distraction from the characters. I'm sure you'll do a good job though.

The current footage won't cut it?

I think it cuts it too much. What did you have in mind?

I would also recommend it, but you have to pay if you're using more than 500 megabytes a week.

I like it! Do the other episodes.

Wouldn't that contribute to him feeling underdeveloped?

What?  Dooku having a theme?  How so?

I'm saying it might feel undeserved if there's not enough character development through the scenes in the movie to begin with.

Wouldn't that contribute to him feeling underdeveloped?

Any spoilers? :)

I would also suggest, for story reasons, that you try to address some of the things in the Episode III Red Letter Media review. If it's possible, make the actions of the characters make more sense.

It looks great!

Is it just for example purposes, or are you using the Yoda v. Emperor duel?

Edit each of the extended Lord of the Rings movies into their respective three hour epic.

If you mean to re-edit the LOTR EEs back into the theatrical versions, then that would actually be a great idea in case of FOTR, because the theatrical version has a badly DVNRed older master for Blu-Ray, so a colour corrected original version of FOTR using the EE Blu-Ray would be something I'd be very interested in actually ;-)

The idea is that there's a lot of edit ideas on here and FE for every kind of movie imaginable that boil down to that pitch: "Editing all of the _________ movies into one 3/4/5 hour epic." LOTR is already 3 hours long for each movie, already has its own extended edition, and some have already edited it into smaller blocks or purist versions.
The only logical thing left is to edit the smaller chunks of extended editions into three hour epics. :D

Edit each of the extended Lord of the Rings movies into their respective three hour epic.

The Corporate Sector Authority was a major power, too.

Practical effects, like the kind Adywan is good at, would go a long way to giving the PT the same feel.

"Even Master Yoda doesn't have a sperm count that high..."

Whatever it is you do with it, count me in for helping out.

Not sure if this has been suggested before, and I don't really want to dig through 234 pages of ideas, so here's mine.

What if we deleted The Phantom Menace altogether and, through reconstitution of deleted scenes (as well as little bits of TPM) make Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith into three films?

It makes sense imo, as TPM is basically completely inconsequential to the saga, but it would probably be pretty hard to execute.

That's kinda what I've been doing, just as a TV miniseries sort of thing. It works really well, because the Episode 1 "resolve the attack on our sovereignty in the senate" and Episode 2 "we need Amidala here" and "create the Clone Army with a vote" things fit together nicely.

Exactly. The battle droid is a subtle change. It's a piece of clutter that makes you go "huh, that's cool," not a change in appearance of an entire main character after their arc is finished.

Does anyone have sources for Ian McDiarmid lines?

I'm making major changes to the order of events and I need him (or someone else from Star Wars) to have a line about killing in order to preserve life, or ending one life and beginning another one.

I like it because it still shows he's vulnerable, but resourceful. It's a sort of flipped version of ESB, where he spends a lot of his time getting taken out by stronger forces, but there's still a scene early on where he destroys an AT-AT by himself. With the rancor it's the same sort of exception that proves the rule, just the other way around.

I'm still all for removing it, but if it stayed I think it would be better to have some conservative Jedi (e.g. the Jedi Council) have problems with it, but not others (maybe Obi Wan, following after Qui Gon,) and it's not really a secret, Anakin just doesn't want to bring it up at sensitive times.

IIRC, it's actually "attachment" which is forbidden, which kind of fits in with Luke being held back from going to cloud city. The idea is to make the Jedi more like monk ascetics. It wasn't executed very well and it would be better to achieve it in other ways, but that was the intention.

That's like shooting an arrow and painting a bullseye around it. Having yellow eyes is an effect, not a cause. If you don't address or don't like the causes then it doesn't make any sense.

It's a visually oriented medium, right, but that doesn't mean you need a cue. Yellow eyes would be redundant because Mark Hamill's expressions say it all.
