Hello, Hal, my friend. I just wanted to tune in and say that your AOTC and ROTS edits are my go-to now that I started watching the prequels again (with my son). I wanted him to experience the films like they should be (removing cringeworthy, canon-breaking or insulting moments).

However, my one gripe - besides maybe keeping Padme alive because of all the issues it will most likely present in the future (although i personally like this approach) - is that your edits have their own names, omitting the original film titles. Although this isn’t an issue for me, I realized that it took some enjoyment out of my son’s overall impression of the edit - and although i didn’t ask him why (as I later started thinking about it) - I suspect it was because of his knowledge of the film’s titles and that that is how his friends refer to them. Simply put; it doesn’t create an issue, but it can be off-putting for the mind of the young.

So, in that regard, is this something you have ever thought about and if so, would it be an alternative for you to create a new crawl with the original title names so that editors like myself can re-render your edit and present it with the film’s original title?

I’d certainly appreciate it 😃
