I knew I should have had a bet on how long it took FatBoy to come on here with more presumptive spoutings. DOH!
I don't think Magnolia HATE the prequels - that's a pretty big jump there you made FatBoy - maybe he just thought they could do with editing here and there?
How easily forgotten that, IIRC, his Ep1 Edit was for a project as part of an editing class, and then gave them to friends and family - from which they spread out and started to appear at stalls at conventions, and so on, until it winded up on forums on the internet.
Has MagFan taken 'months and months' to do an edit? You make it sound like he's slaving away non-stop at his computer desperately trying to 'stick it to' GL and McCallum - no job, no family, no friends, no life - just hate... I had no idea that you know Magnolia's daily schedule.
As Magnolia states at the start of his Edits - it is just another point of view - a shame that people can't take it as just that.
