Very few people know that Arnold Schwarzenegger was George Lucas' first choice for the voice of Darth Vader. Schwarzenegger recorded the initial voiceover, but after hearing the final product Lucas had a change of heart and decided to nix him in favor of James Earl Jones.

Here's why. (My favorite is at 0:15) LOL!

Copious use of "The Running Man" and "Kindergarten Cop" is great. And the audio is smoothly put in. 1:11 is perfect.

Ominous.

There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

I was impressed by that, too. The guy who did the editing did a superb job, noticeably better than the other two. Arnold's voice sounds like it really was a part of the movie.
