The way I see it - it's John Williams. And he IS Star Wars. A theme from PT or not - it's still a Star Wars theme created by John Williams. If George got all sloppy and stuff - John didn't. He has always done a great job and his music fits perfectly where ever you want to put it. 

But that's just me... and I may be wrong.

Right now it looks like you just washed the color out of everything in the shot.

Well, engines could use a little bit of colour, but it's getting there. It has that feeling, you know... It feels like Star Wars!

By the way, I was just wondering - what are you planning to do with clones? Will you leave their armor colourful or will you make it B&W (so that it looks more stormtrooper'ish)?

Fantastic!

(I tried really hard to find a picture of the Ninth Doctor with a "Fantastic!" caption, but I failed.)

This one? XD

I'm not going to be changing the way it looks.

I am genuinely happy to hear that. :)

It looks very OT. I like it.

^^^ Agreed.  It's a space fantasy and doesn't require explanation.  The scene is beautiful and needs no tinkering.

Agreed!

Wow, just realized I've been following this since March.  Doesn't even feel that long.

Yeah! Me too! Ever since it started.

At first I was excited about the cut-list - about couple of dumb scenes getting removed.  But then it turned out that Bob is also planning on reworking this movie visually. And so far I've been nothing but amazed...

... but I guess that is what happens when you think something is impossible and then you see it come to life.

Dude, the way I see them clones - they are like twin brothers.

Two of my buddies are twins and they both sound different. They look the same, but they sound different and I think that's because they don't live the same as the other one. They have different lifestyles.

Clones in PT were the same because they ate, drank and trained the same. They lived together in equal spaces. But Boba had a different life than clones, you don't know what Boba has been doing. For all you know he's a weed addict and his voice sound different because of that. Or he's on steroids and has his own death metal band where he is the lead singer.

Use your imagination, man. Star Wars is FANTASY. Use yours to fill up the holes the way you want to.

And also - the original voice kicks ass, but Morrison's version, on the other hand, sounds boring. He has no emotion or character in his voice (as much as I like the guy as an actor).

And even though I'm having an awesome time on the ANH:SE Redux Ideas thread, I've always thought that OT>PT.

And that's the explanation you need - OT>PT. No matter what.

No i have no intention of working on any of the Star Wars spin offs

Got it! :)

have you seen the grindhouse fanedit? theres plenty of blood in that.

But it was... sloppy. :\ It was over the top and also not very photo realistic. I was thinking more of like the blood you see in WATCHMEN, where basically every blood spew had some sort of meaning and it wasn't there just for fun

(but the blood in Watchmen wasn't very realistic, so maybe it would be better just to make it as realistic as possible).

Cause the thing with blood in movies today is that - there is no blood. Most of the movies are rated PG-13 and when somebody gets hit all we see is  just smoke (in The Dark Knight, for example, the guy gets hit in legs by UZI and there's no blood... just smoke).

And when you take that away - that sense of fear and possibility of getting a serious (or lethal) injury - the audience doesn't feel threatened anymore.

We see those stormtroopers falling when they get hit. But what really happens to them? If we added blood and a little screaming or some sort of sound of agony - all the scenes would look different and more intense. Cause you would see what happens to a stormtrooper when he gets hit and you would be a little terrified because you wouldn't want that to happen to your heroes.

Using the soundboard Vader dialogue I tweaked some of his isolated ANH phrases.

I gave him a deeper tone, slowed him down a bit and gave him more heavy bass similar to the following two films....

Check it out...

Sweet.

As someone who generally disapproves of a lot of the ideas in this thread, I'm surprised to say that I really like the idea of adding mechanical movement sounds to Vader.  It does make sense.

Thanks!

Just had an idea... or more like a flash -

you know how they went from lasers to bullets in Terminator Salvation?

It was a pretty bad movie, in my honest opinion, but I liked the idea of bullets.

So what I'm trying to say is - how cool would it look if stormtroopers fired bullets instead of lasers? You could have some serious blood spewing in the opening scene. And it would make the Vader entrance even more intimidating. Cause you would be, like, "Whoa! Those guys were nuts and killing everybody! And this is their leader?! He must be one twisted S.O.B.!"

... just imagine that white corridor all bloody and everything, with stormtroopers bodies lying on the floor and then... Vader appears!

Now is that impressive or what?

And also it would be interesting to hear different sound effects in that scene.

I know that R-Rated stuff isn't exactly Star War'ish, but since we're talking about RADICAL changes...

EDIT: I mentioned making Vader even more intimidating - how about putting some mechanical sounds to his movements? It would seem logical, since he's part man, part machine. And you would have to guess if he's a robot, or is he really a man?

People have always been terrified of tall, intimidating-looking robots XD

And what about his voice? How about making it a little bit lower? It would sounds more demonish.

Nothing much, just watching the game, having a bud...

So uhmm... what's up?

I read through this whole thread and ... wow! If all these ideas came to life, ANH would look so awesome! XD I'm a fan of the original version, but this is something I'd definitely like to see.

Duuuuuuuuuuuude!

AWESOME!

No new clips or pics please.

Agreed.

Quite honestly, my enormous respect for Ady would drop a few bars if he ever revisited the dull clone wars cartoons...

Why?

It's a cartoon, it's a different spectrum. I think it would be interesting to see what Adywan could do with it since he's also an amazing painter*/drawer.

Trying something a little different is not a bad thing, you know.

*Quite honestly I'm very excited to see what he'll do with the DVD cover for ESB:R. The painting he did for ANH, for me, was very inspiring.

I have a question for Adywan -

It a bit off-topic, but I really want to ask this -

do you consider a possibility that you might someday revisit the old Star Wars "Clone Wars" cartoon?

I'm asking this because I was watching the "Clone Wars" cartoon bonus features on DVD and those guys were talking about how they watched and got inspired by the Original Trilogy, especially the part where Obi-Wan was talking about Anakin. How when they were kids they were thinking, "Old Ben and Luke's father were hanging out together? I wonder what the heck was that all about?". They said they were trying to bring some of those memories and fantasies back and try to make them real.

You can feel that those guys are real Star Wars fans an that they truly wanted to make something prequel-related, but something that would also honor the Original Trilogy.

And, In a way, I think they did it because this cartoon feels different than PT or the new CGI cartoon. I wouldn't say it's like OT, but it definitely had something very Star War'ish about it.

It would be very interesting to see what you could do with it.

I truly love this cartoon, it's the only thing from expanded universe that I honestly love and enjoy. And it would be great to have it as an addition to the Revisited series.

I understand that this is an off-topic question. I just couldn't find a better place to ask this.

Well, I think if ANH is to be butchered then Chewie should have more facial expressions (not just his mouth closing/opening) and also it would be interesting for him to have a more masculine voice. Something more lion'ish perhaps.

And maybe in this scene on the right side there could be some kind of reactor or something. You know, like those glowing things in TPM in the Kenobi/Qui-Gon vs. Darth Maul fight?

I don't know, just put some sort of energy source there, so that it looks more futuristic and advanced.

Also in most of the scenes with R2 - he is moving very, very slowly. His head/wheels are so slow. Maybe his movements can be sped up a little. Not much, but just a little.

And in this scene - maybe there could be a ship flying by in the background? Just to give an impression that there's some other stuff going on.

Oh and what's up with those elevators? It takes almost forever for those doors to close -

I am currently working on something but it's not Star Wars related and it takes up a lot of my time.

Relationships?

I don't know.  He lurks the boards here once in a while, maybe he could chime in.

He should. It looks like the guy has some talent.

The color may not even be wrong... It may simply be that we have been so used to the stupid over saturated colors that we aren't sure of it when see something that indeed does look like OT.

I'm actually starting to feel the same. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I don't know...

daneditor said:

I'd personally rather see the original Lucasfilm logo.

Well, the new one looks pretty sweet.

I was just thinking, if you were to make the Star Wars logo and the crawl RED, how would it look if you made the Lucasfilm logo also RED? Just a thought... ignore it if it sucks.

Although, maybe it would be better just to leave the crawl yellow. Because red doesn't stand out that much and for those who read slower than others - they won't be able to read the crawl when it gets smaller and starts to fade away.

Especially then!

The new logo looks great! But I think you should go with only one color. Either yellow or red, cause now it looks really weird. The crawl is red, logo is yellow...

Those bigger ships look very cool in gray, but I'm not sure about Jedi Fighters. They look weird and for a second (when they're flying over the big ship) they disappear, cause they don't stand out.

But whatever happens - keep the new logo! It's awesome!
