Synopsis:

John Williams' Music is forever tied to the Star Wars movies, but I decided to use music from a completely different genre to not only tell the story, but to add a bit of humor and perhaps some subtle insight as to the motives of the Jedi Knights. I tried to make this movie a bit more mature, by removing the silly scenes between the driods, and removed some moments of doubt among the Jedi to make them more assertive and confident. I also added an unexpected subplot, and color corrected the movie, to be closer to the original with a bit more contrast.


Intentions:

I was watching Star Wars Episode III with the volume off, as I had some friends over after a long night, and they were passed out, but I really wanted to watch Star Wars Episode III! As soon as the movie started and the battle in the beginning unfolded, I was thought to myself, what would this sound like with a new different soundtrack? I experimented with various songs until I finally decided to use the movie Heavy Metal as the inspiration for the music.


Change List:

Having spent many years editing music videos, when the soundtrack is replaced, I try to make cuts to the beat, and match up any lyrics or dialogue if possible to the music. I also had to extend or cut some parts of songs to match up, and did my best to not make it noticeable. Also, when I switched scenes around, I kept the same type of transition style as the original. I also color corrected the material, as I felt the original was a bit washed out and too warm.
