Jar Jar Bricks, among others actually leaked payed content and implied that if there wasn’t any watermark then it could be used. I’m just saying I think the way they’ve been painted as villains or bad dudes is just unfair. I totally understand about the potential risk of monetization but as I said, I don’t think it’s any different to how other editors on this site have also operated. FDSW have a page where you can donate to them filming new scenes and creating new effects, there’s nothing wrong with that and again, it’s no different to how others operate. It’s just a real shame because they always seem to try their best and are always asking for any help, they’re just editors and Star Wars fans.
Mods - I’m 99% sure this is a sock account for Fixing Disney Star Wars. I say this because they know information they shouldn’t otherwise.
Allow me to explain myself. I never “leaked” content with malicious intent. I simply put a TLJ deleted scene of Kylo on a bridge before their VFX of Mustafar as a test and then created a private video of it on YouTube, promptly sending it their channel. It was purely a recommendation for their edit. But of course I was called a bunch of nasty things, which immediately turned me off from being remotely interested in any their work.
Because of the private nature of that video, the only people that know about its existence are FDSW. And BTW, I have no idea wtf you’re talking about when saying that I implied if there wasn’t a watermark that it could be used. I realize that the nature of this website is that we ask the original creators for permission of use, and it never would have ended up in a public edit unasked because of that. Maybe I was referring to personal use? Even that I doubt as I don’t even remember what you’re referring to tbh.
And btw, get off your high horse. Stop claiming that you’re no different than anybody else who ask for financial contributions, because you know that’s completely false. Your own page admitted at one point that the edits would only be available for paid members exclusively for months before being granting access to the public. That’s 100% illegal, as you’re profiting from the Star Wars IP. No other way to spin that shit. I happily donated to Adywan because he doesn’t engage in scummy behavior like that.
