My favorite line: "There were also fanedit fraudsters who moved in quickly to rip off Anti-Matter's rotoscoping shots and scene revisions, passing off the work as their own creations..."

Okay... proof? How do you KNOW they ripped off your work? There are a lot of people doing similar things with SW fanedits.

Out of idle curiosity (as in I'm curious but too bone idle to do the research) when was the very first all PT edit?

That guy has such a huge ego it's laughable.  digital-fanedits.com is his own website which he started when he decided to leave here (probably because he wasn't getting the attention and praise that he so clearly craved here). It's such a self promotional crapsite.  These bits really made me laugh:

There are only a handful of people on this planet who are privileged to own a copy of the Star Wars Prologue DVD, and maybe a dozen or so more who can say they've watched it. That's about to change.

Even more miraculous is the elusive DVD. By Halloween 2009, the Prologue had been enhanced and expanded into its final cut. This then prompted production of a master DVD and an updated AVI version for the community (the so-called "Extended DVD Cut"). Unlike most fan-editors, however, Anti-Matter never intended for his DVD to be readily available:

 

"By the time I finished, I had seen and read enough at the two largest fanedit websites to convince me that too many people might want the DVD only to exploit it or profit from it. I made the DVD for myself and people I trusted. The AVI release was a compromise of sorts. It allowed me to share the work responsibly with people I didn't know."

So why release the DVD now? It's a combination of two factors: continued interest in the Prologue on DVD, and the imminent arrival of the prequel trilogy on Blu-ray. Anti-Matter is betting on the popularity of high-definition media and the official Blu-ray editions to divert the attention of Star Wars bootleggers. In short, Anti-Matter feels that the DVD format is so less appealing today that the only people who would bother to download and burn a dual-layer, NTSC DVD are true fans of the movie who just want the best possible quality and packaging.

 

Star Wars Prologue was edited from high-definition sources, but produced specifically for standard definition. Thus, the DVD is as good as it's ever going to be. According to the rumor mill, the DVD-9 image will be available to the Digital Fanedits community on Friday, July 1.

So everyone just wanted to exploit and profit from his DVD? This guy is so out of touch with reality. Anyone would think that he invented fan edits.  And only the privileged few own his DVD? ...............................................................

Sorry, i just fell off my chair laughing.

Yeah but that was just TPM as the others hadn't come out yet.

I haven't seen it but here is the thread relating to the project and the meltdown that followed.

Anyone else get deja vu reading him?

what's funny, is the first response to that thread back in 2008 is moth3r:

There are at least two other edits I know of that combine all 3 prequels,...

"didn't see that, mine was first!!!"

Jeez; I suppose it's better to leave the dead buried so to speak.

No it's better to celebrate the insanity (see above) :p

I'm no expert on these, but of the one's listed at FE:

TMBTM's 30's Serial edits: Oct 2008

Lewis886's Rise of the Empire: October 2007

Blankfist's The Fall of the Republic: June 2007

I'm no Rebecca Black, but my understanding of the basic function of calendars leads me to believe that these came first.

lol at the Rebecca black comment.

In addition to those listed, there is also JasonN's Shadows of the Old Republic from Jul 2008.

Well, to be fair, it's no wonder he left the site.

What with Ady and Jay's constant trolling and what-not...

Tee hee hee...

Don't you have a 5.1 mix to be working on? ;-)  <--Winky

What I love is that he would have gotten a LOT more attention (to this day) if he stuck around than by making his own forum, which is pretty dead from the looks of it.
