Thoughts? If you download it, you can view it in HD. Otherwise, it's in lower quality.

I've been tampering with this for a while now. I really like how it ended up.

I tweaked one of the parts again. Here's the (hopefully) final version:

I didn't really like the Duel of The Fates theme in the fight. Also, what the hell happened at the end? Anakin was thinking about stuff, and it looked like he was distracted by that.

DarthAnt66
The original soundtrack lacked any emotion. This is not the original Duel of Fates from Episode I, either. It's a different variant and I thought it fit in perfectly with the fight.

Hm? I mean, I imagined it would be fairly obvious. The moments that flashed were moments of weakness for Anakin - moments where he failed as a Jedi. These are struggles that Anakin will continue to face for the rest of his life, so having that parallel with the fight shows both the physical and mental conflict. There's no chemistry between Dooku and Anakin to establish a deep emotional fight on its own merit, but recalling the earlier film and Anakin using those darker emotions to fight Dooku is significant. Just as Dooku cuts Anakin's arm, Anakin cuts down a Tusken Raider, completing his failure. I thought everything linked together rather nicely and was proud to see how it ended up. I guess it's not for everyone, but this particular fight is easily the most criticized fight in Star Wars, and justifiably so.

Anyway, other thoughts from other people (lol)?

Brutal honesty?

If anything you made the sequence slightly worse. The problem is the footage doesn't back up the message you're trying to convey.

Then again. It was shit to begin with.

Sorry but AotC is too sh1tty for this to ever be good. TPM music isn't fitting in my opinion but this is too soon for Anakin's "regrets". He's young and dumb rather than tragic.

A "regretful", mournful, flashback fight would be better suited for Vader vs Kenobi. I did one of Dooku vs Anakin. Yeah it's shitty but as an example:

remove the flashbacks, and it's golden thumb up

technically the edition is very well done, but overall the idea of changes doesnt suit the scene
