Not meaning to lead the current discussion off on a tangent, but seeing all those sparks reminded me of another scene and I just wanted to quickly ask if anyone else thinks this is a good idea:

I think whoever created that had the right idea of adding some sparks there.

make the lightsaber not sound like a bat hitting a metal grating.

Sorry but,

"like a bat hitting a metal grating" = what a lightsaber sounds like.

Sorry for bringing this back up, but I still beg to differ on the consistency of how a lightsaber sounds when hitting solid surfaces.

Episode IV: Vader hits the wall when Obi Wan moves out of the way during the duel, making a sound that "makes sense" for lack of a better explanation.

Episode V: Vader hits the wall and rails during the final part of the duel. The sounds are again much different from the strike on the floor, and sound good.

Episode VI: Luke's wild swinging of his lightsaber against the railings doesn't sound like the ESB strike at all. Though I imagine a rail would make a different sound than a grated floor anyhow. It still sounds right.

Episode I: Darth Maul's taunting of Obi Wan by hitting the floor seems like sort of a mix of Vader's floor strike and my mockup, though with the added mockup sound not as prominent, which I liked.

Episode II: No obvious examples.

Episode III: As Obi Wan and Anakin duel through a narrow hallway, their lightsabers hit the walls repeatedly, leaving sparks, brief glowing cut marks, and again a sound that doesn't quite match Vader's one strike to the floor, though it's not solid strikes and more like brushing against the wall.

By comparing them all, Vader's strike still sticks out a bit as an unfinished sound mix to me. This is not unheard of in ESB, as was pointed out with Leia and Han's kissing scene, in which the object Leia was trying to lock sounded like hallow plastic hitting more plastic, rather than metal mechanical parts clanking. In my mockup, I never REMOVED the sound, I only added a spark sound on top of it, though a bit loud so it would be clear for mockup purposes.

Not sure if there'd be any interest in the idea, but since "Friday" was reprised with a different version in the 2nd Ridiculous movie, maybe reprising "Sandman" with a new version for when Obi Wan delivers Luke to the Lars homestead could be used? Here's the remake of that song, though it might not fit the tone of the edit.

Maybe they are not actually out to harm Obi Wan. They are the homeless droids of the galaxy, insisting on washing the ship for Obi Wan.

subtitles could get this across. Careful removing of actual damage could help sell it. The fog on the window could just be from some sort of cheap form of washing fluid.

It could be funny if Obi Wan had a line along the lines of "No, I just had it washed!"

then of course, one tries to go ask R2 if he'd like his dome wiped down, which he refuses intensely.

Lando really hitting Han could work as well. In combination with Chewie and Leia not really caring about it, this could be really funny. Han could feature a black eye after that.

There could be a punch heard offscreen, followed by Leia saying "yes, very friendly."

I imagine the black eye might be hard to do, but if it were possible, it would be funny to have it last up until Han says "I think my eyes are getting better" in ROTJ, lol.

There's some good dialogue about "joining forces" and such, that could be used as the back and forth between Luke and The Emperor.

And the song, I think, would be hilarious as Vader's redemption theme. It can also be heard here:

And another version of the song, in case it might fit better:

A slightly different idea I had for the tauntaun:

2 more options:

- replace John Candy with Nute Gunray (maybe even "now there are two of them" would work here)
or
- replace him with Jimmy Hoffa (did Ford ever say the name?)

Quotes from Batman for Lando are great, but I think quotes from Brian's Song might be even better.  There could be a whole lot of attention to the fact that he's the only black man in the OT, and considering the theme of Brian's Song, you'd have a lot of lines to pull from.

Here is a small sample from IMDB:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068315/trivia?tab=qt&ref_=tt_trv_qu

Another example, when he sees Han, "How you doin' you old pirate!  So good to see you!  How's your mother?"

You're right. This would be really great. :)

Didn't Billy record an album? I think it was called Let's Misbehave. He could burst into song every once in a while just to be told to stop it.

 

Edit to add:
Just thought about this scene: Han and Lando meet (The "Why, you slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler."-scene) Have that really long awkward pause with crickets and all the thingmajigs, just to let Lando repeat the line. Maybe with some alternating reaction shots. Tension, tension everywhere!

I originally had the idea of using John Candy frozen in the back of the pickup to be inside the tauntaun, but that shot of him looking surprised made me laugh more, so I used that instead. An alternate idea would've been to use Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels frozen in Dumb and Dumber, with Jim Carrey's dialogue heard as Luke is inserted inside the tauntaun saying "your hands are freezing!"

How about when Lando moves forward to act like he's going to attack Han, instead of seeing the rest of that moment, we cut to Chewie and Leia, with a punching sound effect, to show that Lando was actually serious. THEN he starts laughing and we cut back to the original scene.

Here's a few ideas for Lando TooCoolToHandle:

His line at 0:12 could be used when Han arrives to Cloud City.

Perhaps this could be Lando's theme music?

And, after Lando invites Leia for refreshments, when she says yes, Lando could say the final line in this video:

As I mentioned in the other thread, replace the wampa with the Agreeable Snowman from Monsters Inc.

I also have this old video I made that connects ESB to the prequels more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-wFb9DU0SQ

Lando can constantly ask "what did you do to my ship?" anytime the Falcon is referenced, and could be in the middle of that sentence when they go to lightspeed at the end.

When Han Solo cuts the taun taun open someone could be peeking out. A line from CB4 of a guy hiding in a prison laundry basket saying "I'm in this one!" could fit there, maybe?
