I'm new to the Forum....I cannot wait to see these MagnoliaFan edits. I sent out a few PM's to MagnoliaFan, Rikter, bwlag asking for some help in obtaining copies. I'm pretty eager to see these and would be greatly appreciative if anyone out there can help me out...I'd totally be willing to pay some bucks (reasonable bucks that is) plus provide DVD blanks. I have always loved the original trilogy (until it got all special editionalized...the dance scene in Jabba's Palace in ROTJ being the worst by far...even worse the Han stepping on Jabba's tail, and yes...even worse than greedo shooting first...which is completely rediculous). I was so excited when Ep I came out until the lights went down and I saw the bad voice over dubbs of the viceroys...only to be followed by fart jokes, stale acting and plot points that detracted from the greater story. I agree that there are moments of really good cinema in the prequels, if there was just a filter for the bad parts. Please help me folks...help me to see the light....I need it. I have some laserdisc rips on DVD of the original (non-special edition) trilogy if anyone is interested in swapping for the "Balance of the Force" and "The Clone War" Magnolia fan edits. The laserdisc rips are as good as the laserdisc versions (not quite as good as DVD but as good as you can get today) but have menus and extras and all...pretty decent quality.
