I hear you, Bingowings, but I can’t help but feel supportive of his decision. Even if he gets through ROTJ:R and ANH:R HD quicker than he did ESB:R, it still will take a great deal of time to ever get through the prequels. There is so much wrong with them on so many levels. I feel it would require someone starting with the prequels who hasn’t already invested so much time in the OT. Aalenfae seemed to have a promising PT, and I believe he said he even finished his series once, but he also lost his work and has since disappeared. His talent and appreciation of the prequels showed a lot of potential.

In the end, though, I can’t help but feel like we need to work with some of the spinoffs. Perhaps the Obi-wan movie could be an episode in a fan-edited PT. Maybe R1 would serve as a new Ep. III. Perhaps something else will come up that could also fit in there. And while there is obviously a visual disconnect, I’ve never been opposed to editing one or two TCW movies to be part of a new PT. We’ll never get the PT we wanted, but the closest we could get will probably never come while working with the existing Eps. I-III.

Not sure if this is helpful for you, but it gives me solace/hope for a future PT I can call my own personal canon.
