Info Wanted: Episode 1 Q2/l8wrtr hybrid question

After recently getting into the PT fanedits, and trying to decide which ones I like the most, I found that I prefered elements from various faneditors. My favorite three PT fanedits are those by Q2, l8wrtr, and Hal9000. In Episode I, I really liked the pacing of Q2’s and the idea of saving the Sidious reveal. But I prefered l8wrtr’s podrace, final battle, and closing shot on Palpatine at Qui-Gon’s funeral. I decided that editing the two together shouldn’t be that difficult, so I did just that.

My question is two-fold. I’d like to share the hybrid with the community, but I’m questioning how safe it is to upload it to MySpleen. (Getting caught, etc.) Further, is it kosher to upload something like this? I didn’t alter the credits to reflect both Q2 and l8wrtr’s contributions. It opens with Q2’s banner at the beginning of the movie, and l8wrtr’s credits roll at the end.

I also attempted to do some color correction, giving it a cooler, less red palette. Just FYI.

I prefer Q2’s heavily trimmed Episode II, and I am working on a Hal9000/Q2 hybrid of Episode III.

All three guys are still around (Hal is here, all three are on fanedit.org) and are good guys. I’d ask them for permission, and they will probably say yes. If they don’t, just do it for yourself and don’t upload it.

Even better, on April Fools Day everyone’s profile pictures should just become the same as Frink’s.

Octorox did something similar and it’s magnificent and I believe has the blessings of all edits he’s pulled from, as well as some original changes but nothing is too drastically changed. Can’t wait for him to do Ep III.

Oh I’ll have to check it out. Maybe someone already did it better than I
