We get the name anakin in ROTJ.

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I've recently thought that Ben says "Annie was a good friend." in ANH - not "and he" as I thought before - which would make ANH the first mention of Skywalker Sr's (nick)name. You could argue it was poorly pronounced, but it was Alec Guiness!

haha!!

It's not that big a deal, guys, I didn't mean to start anything...

I'm not mad, sorry if I came off as such.  I'm used to burning things through iTunes itself, but I'll find out how to do FLAC.  Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't thought of that.

^Wow. O_O

That looks amazing.  Can't wait to see it in motion!!!

I'm not modifying my iPod and I'm not downloading software I don't know anything about.  Has no one already converted this to mp3?

I'd convert them, except that my usual converter isn't working with the FLAC files.  So I ask again, are there mp3s made by anyone?  No offense to ABC's quality work, in fact quite the opposite - I want to be able to enjoy this digitally on the go via my iPod with the rest of my Star Wars expanded scores.  That's all.

Ok I've been looking around and I cant find the post were someone mentioned about they would love to see Anakin force push Mace out the window.

Tonight I started working on that. Keep in mind there has only been about a hour worth of work put into this quick clip. I just layed out a basic quick shot, to see if I could maybe make it work.

It's ugly I know, but give me some time and I'll make this look good. I'll add the closeup of anakins hand doing the force push and add the sound effect before I'm done. And of course Ill fix the background, and roto work.

I think this will look sweet once I give it alot of work.

I honestly don't think this should happen at all.  At this moment, Anakin is just trying to stop Mace from killing Palpatine, not outright helping Palpatine kill him.  To Force Push him would make Anakin's turn in actions way too abrupt.

 ^Good idea, except that the audience would want to know what the heck happened to Anakin that put him in the suit.

 and how is that different to what we ALL thought/wondered pre-1999?

Because as opposed to meeting a character and learning his backstory (Vader pre-1999), we have a well established character who is suddenly and completely transformed between two films in a series.

Also the issue of how Obi-Wan would get Anakin's saber.

I like it!  Maybe have his eyes look down and up a bit, as if eying the distance between him and Obi-Wan.

My thoughts are with you and your family, Ady!  We're all here for you!!

Is there an mp3 version of this, as opposed to FLAC?

I honestly don't get the color correction.  It just looks more washed out.  Amazing edit thus far, I just don't get the color correction.

A completely different ending?  How different is it from that preview version from all those months ago?

 Very, very different.

Can't wait!!!

That last video was a first draft that I was working on after Angel posted a pic in Windows messager (I should have mentioned that, sorry). I do plan to add back color for the engines and other small things.

The holorgram is already masked out but I was short on time and wasnt able to finish it to true OT look, but rest assured it will be taken care of.

The ending of the film right now is set in stone, and is already a pretty drastic departure from the original. I watched alot of SSWR's vids and liked them a ton. But some of it might be a bit out of my league.

The Jedi Fighter engines need some colour to them to look OTish even the TIEs had those little red glows at the back.

Red seemed to have been the default fighter glow.

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

Has it been considered adding slight shaking to the scenes aboard the Falcon at the end?  During the asteroid chase, everyone in the Falcon is swaying left and right, but after the escape from Bespin during the dogfight with the TIEs, everyone in the cockpit and also 3P0 and R2 are still as if the ship is docked somewhere.

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

I figured those of you who havent seen this would get a kick out of it.....

 

 

It's interesting that the original Wampa was shot on what looks like a lovely day, lol.

Wow.  That is indeed quite humorous, and ironic.  But hey, whatever works! :D

I don't like the new SW logo, nor the fact that all the ships look black and white.  There must be some color!

Bob, are you still looking into working this out, or was it not worth it?

 I think it might be worth it, just didnt get around to it yet. On the weekends I DJ at a nightclub as a second job. So times been short. 8)

That's so cool!  So you're good at audio mixing and extracting channels and stuff?

Hmm, well ROTS is by far my favorite of the PT series and also the movie that I felt I could do the most justice.

I wanted my first edit to set the standard for the rest of the films that will be done later. I feel that when people see what's been done to the film as a whole they will be really excited for the rest of the movies.

ROTS also ruined the background story of Vader the most for me. Dont get me wrong, TPM and AOTC screwed up Anakin's character pretty bad. But hell in ep 1 he's a kid, and in 2 he's a teenager, so I let that slide a bit.

But in EP3 this is the last chance to build up the backstory for the main villain for the next 3 films. And he's crying right up to the very end. This drives my nuts beyond all belief.

Now for those of use who grew up on the OT, we have to understand that when our childrens chlildren watch these for the first time In order from 1-6. They will have no clue as to how we felt the first time we watched Vader walk onto the screen in ANH. Even before he spoke you knew he was one evil mutha. But now it's like, "Hey,it's the cry baby!"

So really I'm doing this edit first as my attempt to restore Vader some of his dignity.

There are is still alot of details about this edit that I have not yet let out. Major changes that I feel will leave any OT fan with a huge smile across their face. The work will be done, and I just hope everyone can enjoy it as much as I know I will.

Can we dub you the Adywan of the PT?

could obiwan pick up the sabre from the temple? this could serve as an alternative discovery of 'darth vader's' identity? (as oppose to the holographic security footage.)

also, i was going to mention this before. have you considered changing the motive of obiwan's motives for going to mustafar? enstead of 'destroying the sith' obiwan could go to save his friend from damnation.

yoda's lines from this scene could be repaced with him talking about their exile, and obiwan could mention that he needs to do something first.

1. Finding the saber would indicate nothing.  In fact, it might even make him think Anakin died, since he would have seemingly been defenseless when the Temple was invaded.

2. Changing Obi-Wan's motives somehow would be wonderful (and back up Vader's "Obi-Wan once thought as you do" in ROTJ, I just don't know how it would be possible due to a lack of lines.

But hey, maybe Bob could pull it off.  I just don't want him getting stressed over this, we've already discussed so much!

As I was typing my reply the brash I was thinking along the same lines , rpvee.  I know a few have mentioned this, but I doubted I'd be able to pull it off.

Ill be watching the scene of Anakin talking to padme before he heads out to Mustafar. Maybe a "hold this for me until I return" shot of him handing her the saber can be worked out.

If I remember correctly, the season finale of Clone Wars season 1 had a scene between Anakin and Padme in which Anakin asks Padme to hold on to his saber, for some reason I can't remember.  Maybe there's some dialogue there that could be used?  I believe the episode is called "Hostage Crisis".
