Episode II: Shroud of the Dark Side (the TM edit) (Released)
Time

Just recieved the workprint copy from Ben, and watched it all the way through in one go! excellent! best edit of episode 2 by far!

I especially liked the new music for the opening crawl - is this an edit of the main theme and another piece of music? or is it from a star wars game? Was great!, I for one get a bit bored with the usual opening theme and this was the first great surprise of the movie  - really set's the tone for things to come and is reminiscent of classic swashbuckling type movies  :) I got so caught up in the music i forgot to read your new crawl lol so i'll have to watch it again.

So much work has gone into this and it feels like a lot of thought went into the arrangement of each scene, with the different music choices and altered dialogue, sound effects. The clones voices are much improved and liked the clone radio chatter during the battle! I dont want to spoil anymore for people that havnt seen it yet.

Good work :)

Hehe! ok I wanna stop discussing this - I really like Empire strikes back and Return of the Jedi. Tho i think i've watched them too many times as i was growing up, but i think i'll wait untill Adywan lets us see his revisited edit to watch it again. Up until today i was thinking it would be better without the family them to it, but you two have got me remembering what it was like seeing the movies originally.

Recently Ive been more into reading about the making of the films and whats kinda shocked me is all the stuff that was going on behind the scenes - Lucas empire building plans, his divorce, the differences of opinion between Lucas and Kirshna that apparently led to Kirshna vowing he'd never work with Lucas again.... kinda wish i hadnt read all that stuff now, cos it sort of ruined the magic i felt when i first saw these films (I was 8 years old at the time Return of the Jedi was released!). thinking back its difficult to believe i went to the cinema at that age with my bestfriend and no parents, dressed up as jedi knights lol! (it was a fancy dress event)

I just dont want to pick apart these films anymore.

You know it is going to be the same ol' thing, right? If you didn't care for Halo 3 or ODST, don't expect a lot from Reach. I like Halo, but personally, I am pretty Haloed out these days, and really have no interest in Reach at all. Four games in a series, and really never having given much variation from installment to installment, I just have a hard time staying excited about Halo. Loved ODST, because it was really different. Reach is looking like it is back to the same old thing, only with multiple Spartans rather than just Masterchief.

 

 My main reason for keeping  ODST is because most people seem to think Halo 3 is one of the top 10 titles every xbox owner should have! and i dont understand why! i've heard ODST is a bit different and you thought it was good, and Halo 3 was mentioned a few comments back and i thought well maybe i should hang on to it and give it a decent try out before i make up my mind on it. Anyway i think i should try playing the games i already have before buying anymore lol!

Dammit i dont have halo 3 anymore - but have NEIR!

 

Whoa, didn't you say you just got a 360 recently? How quickly did you sell Halo 3?

 

 Actually thought id sold Halo 3:ODST on amazon, but it didnt sell so i kept it - ive completed single player on easy  - but before you butt in - no, probably hardly any of the achievements! I have never played/owned the original Halo 3.

It was multiplayer that put me off - as a new player trying to learn it - i sucked and it became very frustrating! but like fallout 3 decided to stick with it tho its not a priority at the moment - but am deffinately looking forward to Halo Reach.

Actually NEIR has surprised me not very far into it yet but enjoy it more than Final Fantasy XIII !

Frontlines: Fuel of war seems pretty good too, graphics arent as good as Modern Warfare 2 but I think its more fun :)

 

accidentally saw a trailer for Deus Ex 3 and that looks pretty exciting too!

What was David Prowse's original dialogue? that would be interesting to know. I thought i also  read somewhere, that it was only during post production - that George Lucas got James Earl Jones to re-record his lines with what we now hear and then got Mark Hamill in to re-do the scene where he says "Father..." in the Falcon - as Darth is reaching out to him from the star destroyer.

You disagree that a movie is written in the context of itself?  I'm... very confused.  How could it be any other way?  The universe is folding in on itself.  The laws of writing fiction are being, well, rewritten.  How does this make sense?!  PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!

 

To be honest i have no idea what you're going on about above.

But I understood that you thought i was talking from an audience point of view, but it is kind of the only way anyone except George Lucas can view it becuase only George Lucas knew exactly what he thought at the time of writing the movie. His explanations of the overall story were continually changing eversince writing the original movie. But the way i read the script of ESB and understood it is that, its like a cliff hanger......is he or isnt he???? and a tacked on one at that... it would still have been a great action movie with out the father son thing...however adding that thematic element later on proved to be a good idea ...as it gave the movie a whole new dramatic edge to it. Poor old George still didnt know what he was gonna do with the next movie tho.

Did he know for sure while writing ESB if Darth Vader was supposed to be Anakin Skywalker? because the idea of Darth Vader becoming Lukes father didnt come to GL untill during late in the production of Empire Strikes Back. In Leigh Bracketts original screen play - Luke and vader have a fight, Lukes hand gets cut off and he throws himself off the platform to escape from vader. there is no mention of Vader being Lukes father. So it seems clear up to that point (since star wars was originally made) that there was no father son story originally or at least not in the form in which it appears now.

And you can remove that revelation scene from empire and remove the few scenes later with Luke hanging below bespin and in the Falcon and Vader staring out of the star destroyer talking to Luke...and it still makes a good movie without the father son element to it. The Rebels get their arses kicked and Han Solo has been captured. Thats not a bad way for a movie called "Empire Strikes Back" to end.

 

So to sum up finally, I don't think the way it is written you can assume darth vader is anakin skywalker - and it was only a handfull of scenes that were added into the movie to insert the father son story -  I dont think the movie was re-written when George Lucas got the idea he just added a few more scenes to put it in there.
