I understand where you are coming from, I would certainly like to get into it myself, it's a matter of time, patience and computer hardware. The whole task seems daunting, lets face it.. your edits have set the bar pretty damn high in my eyes. I will look into it though because if I ever wanted to do a fan edit for something this would be it. Firefly was my Star Trek.
Now I found your star wars stuff on the newsgroups, where else could I find other edits that you or other fans have done?
