I about died laughing at reading this this thread so far. Not out of derision, just the presentation and anticipating that OT.com welcome pending. I’m curious what you’ve done with the films, but the hype train is going too many miles per hour to stop and let us know.

LOL hell maybe everyone will think they’re sh*te 😃 I hope everyone enjoys them and yes I think I fixed everything (it’s too bad clone wars wasn’t a better movie though - I shoehorned alot of info into that one cuz I think some questions needed answers). I just rewatched TPM and found still some things I can fix - it’s never-ending but I’m still happy with these versions and I think may be truer to Lucas’ vision then he achieved (in regards to meddling). It was all there just too much cgi, too many wooden takes, bad dialogue - stuff that severley hindered both jake lloyd and hayden christiensen(?)'s performances. They’re both GREAT - he just speilberged it up with bad kiddie stuff (in TPM) and making Anakin a whiney douchebag in AOTC lol (“it’s all obi wan’s fault! blah blah whine whine…”). I don’t know why he made the choices he did - like that horrible dance number in JEDI. god is that awful! The original version where the rancor eats the green girl and she’s screaming while he’s crunching her was what made Jedi one of those dark 80’s family films that were so good… All the intensity is lost for (not even a MUPPET!?) dance number. At least give me a muppet not this cgi reject. I had Sy Snoodles and the Max Reebo band as a kid. I liked their song better lol But I digress just pm me and watch for yourself. You’ll thank me when you get to Jedi - or as I call it, “An evening without Ewoks”. 😉

And when I say they’re better…well look Jedi is my fav but is it ‘better’ than Empire? No. Are any of the other one’s REALLy better than empire no. But as a trilogy, they work better and I’ve enjoyed sitting through them alot more (repeatedly after having to check my edits time after time) than the originals. To sum it up best Anakin doesn’t make out with Padme and then we find out she’s his sister… That was HARD to cut of Empire but I sloppily (yeah I’ll admit it on that particular cut) did it LOL… BETTER is subjective anyways too isn’t?
