This is interesting. Of course we would have to find someone to supply Sam Jackson's voice.

 

I saw on your youtube post that you wanted things to seem like Anakin and Vader were two different people. Is there any idea there you are toying with?

 Yes, we would definantly need some else to do his voice...although I don't think we need to find someone who sounds like sam jackson...my 2 cents...

Yeah, the whole Anakin and Vader are two different people ideas comes from simply watching the saga in order. I believe the surprise (I am your father) should still be in ESB. And I do have a couple of ideas on how to do this...hopefully I'll get around to posting them.

Wow, that was amazing, SSWR. It's a different movie altogether. It's still a bit of a mystery to me why Anakin chooses the dark side, even in this edit. However, in this case it's good mysterious! The removal of some of the lines makes it sound like he's more afraid than insecure, somehow. The context even changes the feel of his lines after the turn (kinda like how Magnoliafan made Natalie Portman a better actress by changing the Trade Federation's motivations to slavery. Suddenly "My people are dying" made sense.). He's been driven into this situation, but he should have known better. He knows that now, but he still doesn't know entirely which side to be on. Very cool indeed.

 Well, the idea is that it's the power of the dark side that ends up hooking Anakin. Yes, I believe that Anakin is concerned for Padmes life and he's not very trusting of the Jedi (specifically Windu in my edit) but once Palps starts talking about the POWER of the dark side...well...that's the hook...at least I think it should be. Kind of like the ring in Lord of the Rings. It's hard to pass up...just like Luke has a hard time passing it up in ROTJ.

Thanks again! :D

Would really love to hear your idea about the whole Anakin/Vader thing. =)

I'm sorry, but I think that time and knowledge has proven that Lucas's "original vision" isn't worth jack...

i'm talking about the pre-special edition/prequel lucas

I was talking about Lucas the person, period...
(including before the Special Editions and Prequels came out)

This is true. Did anyone hear about his original cut of SW? Sounded awful... Fortunately at the time he wasn't surrounded by yes men.
