Yeah, I really liked seeing the Death Star construction. Even in the theater, it got me excited but I guess it is kind of ridicules that it took about 20 years to make the first one and like 3 years to make the 2nd bigger one. So I guess this is a good idea. Perhaps also showing them build TIEs?
BarBar Jinkx said:58. Removing Needa's blink (after being choked) when Vader's cape swipes past his face.
would it be possible to deaden his skin tones as well a la Boromir's death in LOTR
Yes! It actually does happen in real life. That would be great. Also (from personal experience), people's faces do change color during the process of being choked. Some people turn red, some turn pale blue and some even all purpley : )

It would be great to see old Ben back on Tatooine where the story began (from a certain point of view) one more time.Shame it couldn't be back at Ben's old hermitage.
Well story-wise, that is where Luke is supposed to have went to build his new lightsaber. Obi Wan had all the parts necessary to build a lightsaber back at his house. I'm not sure if it was in the original script or not but there was a good little paragraph about this in my Star Wars visual dictionary.
Octorox said:Here's an idea. artificially slow down all of the emperor's lines and add the deep vocal effect from ROTS. The emperor sounds so stupid in ROTJ IMO. Make his eyes more like ROTS too.
IMO, his eyes (and entire face) were terrible looking in ROTS. He should be altered in ROTS to look like he does in ROTJ
This reminds me. Is Ady gonna put new skies in for Tatooine like he did in ANH:R?
Yeah, if Han saw him, he'd attempt to punch him out or something.
Actually, Sarlaccs are in fact mobile. "Younger members of the species could move under the sands rapidly and catch their prey much faster, while older ones remained immobile, waiting for prey to stumble into their clutches."
Also, an interesting fact; only 3 people are known to have ever escaped the Sarlacc: Zorba Desilijic Tiure (Jabba's father), Count Dooku, and of course, Boba Fett! Actually, Fett escaped the Sarlacc on two different occasions. He must be really clumbsy.
What about the Gungan bubble shields in TPM
Always hated The Phantom Menace as a title. It doesn't have that Star Wars feel to it.
Attack of the Clones is okay, but it contradicts the film.
Revenge of the Sith is my favorite of the prequel titles. In fact, I like it more than Return of the Jedi, title-wise.
My title ideas
Episode I: The Chosen, The Beginning, The Sith Revealed
Episode II: Rise of the Clones, Shroud of the Dark Side, The Clone War
Episode III: I think it should be kept the same but if not; Rise of the Empire/Sith, Fall of the Republic/Jedi
Yeah, I think the whole dancing number should be taken out.
Also, why do people dislike the ring in planet/DS explosions?
Good stuff! But I'm pretty sure that scene will most likely be cut out.
Well, if the lightsabers were lowered a bit, his smile would just shine right through
Yeah! The worm should totally be re-done. At least the color and textures. Even the motion. IMO, this is the most fake looking thing in the entire trilogy...
with Max Rebo (the blue elephant) being a possible exception
OzoneSherrif said:I'm sure from that vantage point they would see the Death Star surface. if you bring the space battle closer to them (like it should be) then adding the Death Star surface is probably necessary anyway.
did anyone notice that the tower actually has 4 large rooms with a big window at the end like where Luke duels with Vader? the other three sides of the tower have duplicate rooms I guess. the others are probably sleeping quarters for royal guards, those old dark force guys, emperor's bedroom..
In the Jedi Outcast game, those rooms are all identical to where the Emporer sits except theres only 3 in the game. I guess he just likes the change of view.
Everyone in the Empire are English and the Rebels are American or English (using American accents). Watched the commentary last night, Hehe
I like the battle closer but maybe not that close. Either way though, it will still look cool.
Also, I think the lightsabers should be more thin. Theyre too thick only in ROTJ.
I think that is a fantastic idea. He doesn't really need to be in Episode II at all. Maybe just the scenes at the beginning of the film at Padme's apartment or whatever. And if Ady keeps some sort of celebration at the end of TPM, 3P0 could be added standing with everyone at the end.
Also, I was thinking about something; does anyone else dislike the idea of Padawan's having a braid and pony tail? I have always hated it ever since I first saw them. It would probably be a hassle to do, but I would like it if the pony tail and braid could be removed from Obi Wan (TPM), Anakin (AOTC), and the younglings (AOTC, ROTS). There's probably other padawan's but I havn't noticed any. I mean, doesn't it seem kind of ridicules? The braid can be tolerated I guess, but a random pony tail sticking out? That's just stupid, lol.
Having an alternate audio track on the dvd would be fantastic! It would be an all new experience to watch.
Ripplin said:Yes, there's no denying that it's good music, but as you say, it just doesn't fit all the time. Personally, I think of the scenes where Luke and Vader are fighting in Cloud City and the sounds create the mood. The extra music overpowers the mood that has already been created.
Yeah I was a little iffy with the music during the duel. But I found the music during the mynock cave to be far superior than the version that made the cut.
I don't know if this was already talked about or not, but will the unused John Williams score be restored?
Here is a video of the Mynock cave and the Jedi training scenes with the unused music re-incorporated into them.

And here is more unused music in the lightsaber duel. After he escapes the carbon chamber, when they're sabers clash, that's when I stop liking it. Then it gets cool again when Luke jumps over Darth Vader. So maybe just use parts of this score here.

Hmmm, I did somewhat like that, but it was far too long and the montage kinda ruined it. I guess I would like the end music to be a variation of the force theme or the throne room music. The music should have a somewhat familiar sound to it but also have an epic ending.
Another suggestion: Fix Luke's lazy eye as he's watching Darth Vader burning. I donno if it's just me but I've always been annoyed by that lazy eye of his that only seems to show up at that one part.
Instead of restoring the Yub Nub song, why not use a new song entirely? Even though the Yub Nub song is much better than the current one, you still have to admit that it is also pretty bad. I'm sure Ady could figure out a way for a new song to fit in. Perhaps use some music from other Star Wars media? Just a thought.
Same goes for the music in Jabba's palace. Use the original Lapti Nek footage, remove the fat chick, and find a different song to play in the background. I'd even be happy if there was no music or dancing. Just sounds of alien chatter and stuff. It would make the scene a lot more fast paced.
Also, if Ady doesn't do a Hayden/Shaw morph to Anakin's face when his helmet is off, I don't think his eyebrows should be restored. I mean, the roots of his hair were totally burned... weren't they?
I also like the fan-o-matic ideas. I'm all for re-arranging scenes and whatnot.
Well maybe Ady could just cut out Anakin saying "I shouldn't". But I'd really like it if there was no hesitation at all prior to chopping off old Dooku's head.
TMBTM said:I don't like that. I think it's important to show the conflict in him.
Well I understand, but I think there's enough scenes to show the conflict (the few lines that follow that scene for exemple). It is also important to show a darker side of Anakin. Once Obi-Wan is not there, he is not afraid to let his anger free. By the time of episode 3 we can assume that Palpatine already have a strong influence on him.
Exactly, that's what I was thinking. He's not afriad to let his anger out when Obi Wan isn't around to tell him otherwise
For Episode III, the duel between Anakin and Count Dooku, I like the idea of what this guy did. At the end, when anakin cuts off Dooku's hands, he instantly cuts off his head without thinking. Check it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=V6_dxW4NpDU
