Some qui gon ghost dialogue is on the official soundboards, though weren't available when I compiled the archive I gave you, Frink.
You've got to save the Hadouken for when Obi force-pushes general grievous :-p
I've said it before, but the Z-95 Headhunter would be a far better predecessor.
^Man, sometimes I wish there was a Facebook style 'like' button on each post.
The Kcutter filtered Hayden's voice into a Vader one in one of his scene breakdowns for his edit.
I agree. Apologies I didn't comment earlier, pagz. The opportunity for comedy prevailed.
Space battle footage from almost any scifi show looks better (in the sense of being less chaotic) than ROTS for example.
It would be funny if on piece of Vader dialogue slips out of anakin once, and then Padme does her "what?" reaction and then Anakin tries to cover it up by speaking normally again :-)
Maybe throw an "oops" in there too :-p

WOW! That would be awesome! I definitely agree with the part about Dooku not being a Sith. He should only be a maverick...perhaps the start of the Rebel Alliance of the OT... Although if someone goes with that idea, his lightsaber may need to be rotoscoped blue, yellow, green, or purple. I personally think green would be ideal as it kind of foretells that the old jedi order will fall and a new one will rise (Luke's).
Psst! It's already been done by several editors ;-)
Frink's using Sony Vegas. I'm not sure about Frank...

Hah! I actually looked up that article after i made the comment.
That explains why he's still got that child-molester grin then.
Exactly. It's for the sake of this site, not for the sake of morals.
Because we all know, morally, Lucas has been ripping us off with the last 2 DVD releases.
Ghostbusters, I don't see how buying it from ebay or a 'legal site' makes it any less money in lucas's pocket. If you're buying it via digital distribution that's more in his pocket if anything - no manufacturing costs. Ebay and you're still contributing to the market and depriving someone of a used copy, who will then go ahead and buy the retail one.
It was a facetious comment. I highly doubt he meant it to be taken seriously...
It'd be a massive kick in the balls if it's not. I mean we had that on Behind The Magic for God's sake.
In others words, I wouldn't hold your breath :-p
^HOWEVER, Ady has confirmed he'll be making much more radical changes to ROTJ than with his prevous edits, so lordsidi might be disgusted with that too, when the times comes.
How about you do something better, lordsidi?
Got nothing? Thought not.
You say you're new to the site. Do you think the way to make a good impression is to insult well respected members? There's constructive criticism and then there's what you're doing - insulting his work without ACTUALLY explaining why it was......

It took me a bit to realize the Prequels are really not in the same league as the Original trilogy
I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you can't say anything nice...

Didn't he mention to Obi-Wan in AOTC how the JC wouldn't believe him?
Nope, unfortunately. Otherwise it'd be a hell of a lot easier making it more plausible.
shanerjedi said:
You could certainly have Dooku in TPM at some point. Maybe at Qui-Gon's funeral? Maybe in the JC scenes?
Those are doable because there's little camera movement in the JC scenes.
Whether it's doable or not, simply having Dooku at the funeral isn't sufficient in conveying anything new to the audience. For a new viewer it wouldn't make anything any clearer than before unless new dialogue can be constructed (but there's no accompanying lipsync) - Dooku still leaves the order and we don't know why and it's still not suggested he went to the Jedi with his suspicions. Unless you refilm Christopher Lee having an argument with the rest of Jedi about the corruption he senses in the senate, then nothing changes.
This is why I'm hoping the Jocasta Nu scene will be included in the Blu Ray release as a deleted scene. In this scene she tells Obi Wan what a great Jedi he was, and that he was one of only 20 Jedi to have ever left the order, and that he did so because he was discontent with how things were being run.
That scene at least hints that he's had a disagreement and voiced his opinion on the matter.
Not to mention that there's very little actual singing talent around now, and much of it is fixed in post. How can you call yourself a singer if your voice has to be altered to be in tune?
Back to the Blu Ray release. When they say they've found all this extra stuff, what's the bet that it's only a tiny amount of it we'll actually get, and the juicier stuff will be held back for a future release?
I'm agreed on the displays - people don't seem to notice them either way, so I say keep them as is. Or if things are going to be changed, make it subtle.
As for the new chasm, I'm in favour of it. How many people here have wondered what these big pits were for?
Oh dear god, Ziro the Hutt has joined the Soundboards.
Also Jaitea, I actually really like your "reactor". Gives the bottomless pits a purpose and I don't think it draws the eye at all. It only does us because we know it's been added, I think.
Actually, ray_afraid, it wasn't Jaitea that said they have no purpose. It was the guy above him.
I will agree with rpvee that it is slightly sudden going from the star destroyer back to Obi Wan's hut. Perhaps a fade is needed to make it clearer that ALL of what we just saw was a flashback.
Also I've just had a thought of a possibly neat way you could transition back, but it would involve changing what you've done with this scene completely
When r2 stars showing the hologram, have the flashback start with everyone rushing around as the blockade runner is about to get docked with (.i.e. the first interior shot of the movies) where we see Threepio and r2 talking. The troopers board and the film carries on as it normally does until we see r2 with princess leia. At this point you transition back - possibly dissolving from the real princess leia to a closeup of the just formed leia hologram. You zoom out from the hologram and it plays as normal.
You of course lose vader talking to leia and seeing the droids escaping a second time, but we already know they escape don't we? :-p
I can't decide which version I would prefer. Guess I'd have to see both.
