I was a little self-conscious coming on here asking if there were any way of obtaining the original theatrical versions of the prequels, worrying that it may be considered some sort of blasphemy to like them. Regardless, being as obsessive about original releases as I am, I do hope to eventually get these films the way they were originally seen. I know RU.08 has been working on The Phantom Menace, which is not the easiest undertaking.

What annoys me is that Attack of the Clones literally has a few seconds of extra dialogue that wasn’t in the theatrical release that Lucas just felt he had to put in even though there’s a perfectly nice Deleted Scenes section on the DVD (and later Blu-Ray). This isn’t much, but it’s just enough to make it a different film than the one shown in theaters. Hopefully this would be a significantly easier fix than going through TPM and taking out the extra shots from the pod race and reinserting the original puppet Yoda along with the other aggravating difficulties.

Anyway, if anything comes along, I’m all ears. Thanks.
