We're used to waiting, haha!  But it's ALWAYS worth it.  If you could pull off an entire change of clothing in an action sequence, though, that'd be incredible. :D

Can't wait, Bob!  The Force is strong with this one!

Looks epic, but how would it be possible to have him wear it in the duel?

By Imperial Motif, I believe he means the "dun-dun-dun DUN!!!" we hear a lot in New Hope, particularly anytime the Death Star comes into view at the beginning of a scene.

What do you mean audio cleaning?  If you mean the lack of background noise, it's all dialogue from the Official Soundboards.

I'll admit, it made me grin.  Couple things:

1. Do you create all that from scratch, or do you remix the original March?

2. I think it's a bit too in your face.  Maybe try having that build up before the main theme just grow louder and louder and louder until the cut to Obi-Wan... don't have the March itself just yet.

Also, Cutter, will the Luke and Leia theme be in the score any more than just in the birth scene?  I think its use in the birth scene should sound a bit more ominous, and I think a hint of it any time Anakin and Padme discuss the "baby" would be cool.  The audience would get so used to the theme, only for it to vanish in the OT until Luke and Leia realize who they really are, and it' d make a touching return (as opposed to how out-of-the-blue the theme is in ROTJ now).  The Luke and Leia theme as a featured theme in ROTS... that'd be amazing.

It'd still be obvious who the babies are in the OT, though.  Luke especially, if you're keeping Obi-Wan delivering him on Tatooine, and then Leia through logic as the OT would go on.

All he would have to do is have that fade out after the balcony scene, then have an abrupt cut in from that black with Anakin sitting up.

I think R2 flying out of the pile of droids and him being at the terminal should be separated.  Put him at the terminal between Anakin running over to Obi-Wan and Palpatine saying "leave him".

 good idea, it works well

Let's see it! :D

I like it!!  Star Wars-up the shot and it'll be great.  I think you should slow down that establishing shot of the balcony though, it's too quick.  I'm also trying to decide if I like the music at the end, but I guess it's good.  If you are creating new music though, try some kinda mix of Leia's theme and Across the Stars for the Alderaan shots, I think that'd be neat.

How are you establishing Padme taking refuge?

Well, previous critiques aside about the video editing, this is looking much better now.  I LOVE the new Vader scene.  Maybe when this is released, you could have an option for an isolated score audio track!

welcome back rpvee, and nice avatar ! omg

good idea, why not - and at the end, I will upload my score, as loconut suggested, for those who are interested

Glad you like the avatar, it was awesome meeting him again. :D

And yay, can't wait for the soundtrack.  Your latest creation sounds good (the escape pod one), but is that how the actual sequence is going to be?  It's very rushed and left me rather confused.  The music is great though.

And regarding the birth of the twins music with the Luke and Leia theme, try making it more subtle.  It's too prominent and cheerful right now.

Bumping this! haha ;)

Thank you everybody for you kind words. It's a really tough time for us all at the moment. I really don't like having to sort through all Dads personal things and deciding what needs to be kept and what has to go. Just so much left to do before the funeral next Thursday. I have no idea when i will get back to the edit as i just don't feel like doing anything at the moment.

Stay strong, Ady.  We're all here for you!  A whole other family, in a sense, only a click of a mouse away.  We support, we care, we listen, we speak, and most of all, we respect.

Only a matter of hours left! :(

Crackers aside, that was very well put.  I've been a member for a few years now, so even though I don't post much and not many here seem to know me, I've still seen and read a lot and I can totally get what you're saying.

I have to say that this thread in hindsight will be verrrry interesting, because it is so much more than the creation of a fan edit... it's practically several chapter's of a man's life.  This is NOT a complaint, because I absolutely support Adywan and everything he shares with us about his life.  It seriously is very interesting... the good, the bad, it's all here, entwined with the story of Revisited itself.

Not much to be said, for words really can be hard to come by in difficult instances.  You have my deepest sympathies (as does your entire family).  Stay strong, stay well, and may the Force be with you, Adywan.  You're a dear friend to all of us.

Best of luck, Adywan, I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.  Stay well, and just take one thing at a time.  As others have said, Revisited can wait.  It's only a movie.  A brilliant movie and edit, of course, but only a movie nonetheless.

Unfortunately, the person currently in 2nd place is catching up insanely fast and will probably be ahead of me by morning. I'm campaigning everywhere possible, but I just don't think I can win and it's quite depressing. :(

Me with the great John Williams just a few hours ago:

(It's a bit large, not sure how to fix it)

Star Wars turns 34 years old today!  What are YOU doing to celebrate?  I'm seeing John Williams live in concert in Boston tonight. :D

There's still 16 days left in the competition.  Please spread the vid around and ask others to like it!  I have a lot of likes right now, sure, but anything can change.  Thanks so much, guys, the Force is strong with this! haha :)

Thank you!!  Tell your friends to like it too, lol. :D

Thanks guys!  Please spread it around, I have 72 likes, but a woman uploaded her entry just yesterday (mine's been up for a few days) and already has 74.  How, I don't know, but help!!! :(
