InfoDroid, sorry I left you off the 'voulenteer list," I didn't realize you already had the resources to take on such a project. Someone like you who already knows what he's doing is a far better choice than someone like me who's just getting started in the world of editing. Not that I wouldn't want to learn the intricacies of it all at some point, but I'd probably slow things down even more while going through a learning curve. Do keep us posted on whether or not you think you'd be able to tackle Episode I.

And here's a crazy thought: Wouldn't it be nice for I and II to be completed around the same time? Being able to watch this "alternative saga" chronologically would go a long way in its effectiveness if that's what we're going for (a 1-6 flow). With these new strategies, while it probably won't be possible for I to come out before II, we can at least try to get them out in the same year as opposed to I coming 2 or 3 years down the line as originally planned. My only reservation with this would be waiting for the inevitable CGI Yoda that will be replace the TPM puppet in a future release, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
