This talk of an epic with overture, intermission, exit music, and so on is very interesting. So much so that after this saga is done, perhaps it would be a worthwhile project to make an epic out of our Ep. 4, 5, and 6, and then make another epic using our Ep. I, SOTDS, and our version of ROTS as a base. Perhaps the first epic could just consist of 2 and 3 alone. Anyhow, I think that the epic idea would be even more neat actually based on our version of the saga, rather than a separate edit. I think that once people begin seeing these films, there might some enthusiasm from other fan editors to use our films as a base for derivative projects. That might be an option. However, I'd be against an Ep. IV where the Death Star is not destroyed- as part of my films. Again, for the epic idea, this becomes a lot more feasible.

I also wanted to bring up that although I had once toyed with the idea of re-editing ROTJ, that honor really goes to CC, InfoDroid, and the others that came up with the original ideas and are passionate about re-editing the OT to fit (which admittedly was not my original plan- however, there's certainly nothing wrong with trying). I also don't think we have to wait on ROTS, SW, and TESB to re-edit ROTJ. However, I think that before ROTJ gets off the ground, we should have the kind of major conceptual discussion on Ep. III that we had on Ep. II and I, so that the ROTJ editors know where things are going. But that's a little ways off....

Keep up the great work! I'm trying to keep up on time with my end of the deal
