Here is a list of unused music by John Williams that could possibly be added back into your edit, Hal.

https://youtu.be/X9G6V3xpOhs?list=PLonU6sZXHsfqtt1Uzv_O9-q7qjNr596Qc&t=17 (This is an extended version of the bridge sequence.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kubNXcA5J4g&list=PLonU6sZXHsfqtt1Uzv_O9-q7qjNr596Qc&index=36 (This is when Obi-Wan is chasing Grevious before their final encounter on the landing platform.)

https://youtu.be/79k5CO5mrHs?list=PLonU6sZXHsfqtt1Uzv_O9-q7qjNr596Qc&t=140 (This can be added in when Mace Windu has Palpatine cornered and Anakin comes into the scene.)

I only found one track that could be added back into the movie, with the exception of the droid factory sequence.

This is when the arena beasts come out and attack Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padmé.

https://youtu.be/Ih-Uz1Oxmz4?list=PLonU6sZXHsfqn3JJm8bvSi7tkPkUL2a0p&t=68 (The end with TC-14 walking out is different here. I still think the way it was done in the film was better, due to the tension.)

https://youtu.be/tKqwhpkLL30?list=PLonU6sZXHsfqn3JJm8bvSi7tkPkUL2a0p&t=48 (This is when Qui-Gon saves Jar Jar from being run over.)

https://youtu.be/u3e4XI17vTI?list=PLonU6sZXHsfqn3JJm8bvSi7tkPkUL2a0p&t=49 (This is an extended piece where the Queen’s ship lands on Tatooine and plays over Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan’s conversation about the hyperdrive generator.)

https://youtu.be/pWICeE989vg?list=PLonU6sZXHsfqn3JJm8bvSi7tkPkUL2a0p&t=25 (This is an extended version of the Gungans preparing for battle against the droids, and the tanks shooting at their shields.)

https://youtu.be/Giw_IM_aEfc?list=PLonU6sZXHsfqn3JJm8bvSi7tkPkUL2a0p&t=54 (This is when the laser walls close in around Maul, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.)

I personally really liked the music from Shadows of the Empire and A New Hope that you added to the Podrace in a previous version, but you decided to remove it now. Here are some tracks for the Podrace just to share still.

Thanks, Hal. I’ll post the links to other unused music in the other threads just to keep things in topic and for you to consider maybe adding them back in.

There are even more unused pieces of music that were for certain scenes, though they were replaced by other music. These listed are tracks that can be easily added back in for scenes with no music playing in the scenes.

A NEW HOPE:

DMC said:

Why are you so fixated on Tobey Maguire?? I’m confused.

It’s because someone managed to recreate Sebastian Shaw from an image of Maguire, due to the two of them having the same, or at least similar, head shape.

You know, I think one of the reasons jonh has been gone for a while is that he’s busy with his career as a filmmaker.

One last thing about Sebastian Shaw, it is possible for someone to take footage of Tobey Maguire’s head from movies and go frame by frame to turn him into Shaw.

Also, is it still being worked on for the final shot to be an overhead shot of Tatooine in space as the Falcon makes the jump to lightspeed?

Hey, Hal? How would you feel about adding back in some unused music that John Williams had composed for certain scenes. Not just in this project, but some of your other Star Wars projects too. I thought Adywan did a nice job for a small portion when Han is lowered out of the carbonite, whereas in the original film, the music stops, gone for a moment, and then comes back again.

JJPotter said:

For me, it is because of the Voldemort backstory scenes. I love the way his history was told through the Pensieve flashbacks, the introduction of the Horcruxes, and the Astronomy Tower drama.

I know what you mean. I personally loved all the movies, but Half-Blood Prince was not my favorite of them. I don’t nitpick or criticize them at all, as I thought all eight of them were great, but I will admit I wish that they hadn’t omitted as much stuff as they did from the sixth film.

JJPotter said:

Yea! HBP is my fave book and I can’t wait to see how your enhancements are going to add to the story.

Thanks, JJ. I’ve heard many people say Half-Blood Prince is their favorite book. I wonder why that is.

I’m really only using audio from the International Cut to restore the actors’ original voices. I’ll have to take a look again at the boy Non kills, but I will use the American voice if that’s the case. I would love it if someone could remaster or upscale the deleted scenes, though.

I have now started work on Half-Blood Prince!

I forgot if jonh said he’d be interested in doing aversion with Sebastian Shaw or not. I wish he’d come back around soon. For all we know, he could finish the crackly saber sequences since he’s already done a far grander sequence in this project.

Have you tried using any of the footage from the DC that is available to stream?

I’ve heard it may’ve been an earlier edit of the DONNER CUT, with additional deleted material ( boy gets killed by Non, etc).

Oh yeah. I definitely using that to help, along with the Restored International Cut. I’m almost done with my edit of the first film, but I’ll need someone talented in VFX to help out to get the second film done.

They even re-dubbed the kid when he gets on the horse. I think the original voice was better but in my copy of the RIC there’s a weird “echo” to his voice.

That’s odd. I’ll look into it all. I plan on restoring the original voices to all the actors, apart from say Sarah Douglas, who I believe was dubbed by Annie Ross, who later played a character in Superman III.

I also think Terence Stamp’s voice was pitched a bit lower, but I’ll have to check. As long as the pitch of his voice sounds close to how he sounded at the beginning of the first film.

I’ve heard some say they thought Gene Hackman’s voice double had some better delivery to the lines, but I still feel it sounds phony to me.

Does anyone here know of anyone talented in deepfakes that can help out?

Hi! I just made an account here to thank you for your amazing work!! Really, you’re project is WONDERFUL, such an immersive experience, it really brings everything to a whole new level! I’ve reread the books SO many times, but I have to say listening to your edits makes me feel like I’m experiencing this world from a brand new perspective, it’s super cool. I’ve binged the first three books, just starting with GoF now, and I’m already dreading the moment it’ll be over. Once again, thank you a lot for sharing these with us!!

No problem. I really appreciate the feedback. I’ll be starting Half-Blood Prince very soon.

I am looking for anyone very talented in VFX to help me out on some upcoming projects that I have been working on. I myself don’t know anything on how to achieve this, but seeing just how talented the people on the site are (especially recently on Hal 9000’s The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant), has made me want to get help from many others to help accomplish similar results on my own edits.

For anyone who may be interested to help work on sequences, let me know. I would really appreciate any help given.

Below is a list of projects that I am looking for VFX work on. For more details, check the threads to each project.

Is someone finishing work on the crackly saber shots?

Jar Jar Bricks said:

Do people seriously hate Hayden this much? Lol.

Hayden the person? No. But I do hate the idea that Anakin reverts to his younger self upon his death because “that’s when he was good.” Anakin was on the “good side” when he died; that’s the whole point of ROTJ’s ending. He should appear as the version of himself that died saving his son from the Emperor IMO.

But I’m talking more about the ROTJ ghost there. For TROS it’s not the biggest deal for me. The reasoning of “if Lucasfilm would’ve done it, it would’ve been with Hayden” is 100% perfectly sound.

But discussion on a Shaw ghost should be moved elsewhere until the idea actually comes to fruition in some form.

I totally agree. To put it short, Luke wouldn’t have recognized his father at a younger age, and if Anakin can appear as his younger self after death, then how come Alec Guinness isn’t replaced by Ewan McGregor then? Anyways, moving on.

BedeHistory731 said:

This may sound hilariously stupid, but what if somebody 3D modeled Shaw’s head and used photo-based textures for it? Then it could be composited into the shots for the redone ending. It would be a pain in the butt, but it might be worthwhile.

It’s worth a try.

Yeah. There aren’t that many images of him, especially when older. There are plenty of production photos of him in the Darth Vader makeup, though.

Also, I have to admit that some of the images I put together look a bit more like Denis Lawson (Wedge Antilles).

Hmmmm, I think it could work (although he looks kind of odd in some of the pictures)

But we should only use pictures where Tobey’s hairstyle resembles the one that Sebastian had in ROTJ (and also where Tobey’s beard is pretty much non-existent), mostly because FaceApp tries to merge both hairstyles and you might end up with an “emo” Sebastian Shaw

That is true. I at least tried my best.

Hal 9000 said:

Feels… inauthentic. Based on how Jonh has manipulated faces in the past I would think pulling real images of Shaw could work. But hey, I don’t know.

Those just… look like a recast for the role of old Anakin to me.
