I've been lurking here awhile and have recently gotten a few films myself. This the best explanation of the "underground" movement of fan edits. If the studios create a vacuum and doesn't fill it someone will. The SW films are a perfect example, I grew with these films and I shouldn't be told that essentially they don't exist anymore because GL is, IMHO, is embarassed by the effects in them. Until Batan Begins came out the best Batman movie was Batman Dead End. Granted its only a 8 minute fan film but damn what a good job. Fan edits are very similar to the problem the music industry is having with illegal downloads. If they'd put out better stuff people will buy it. Otherwise, the vacuum effect takes over where people will only download a song or two. Same with movies.
