I MAY be getting a proper copy of THE PHANTOM EDIT from another fan VERY soon - SO I MAY have the version with commentary for Episode 1!!!!!! (again MAYBE)
I tried my best to obtain a copy from the source. He was a very nice guy in his response, but said he could make no promises. That was right around the time of my last post in this thread. I was hoping to have something nice to offer to the community, but alas...If you come across the DVD version of The Phantom Edit, I will eagerly await the day it is uploaded to the site where I get everything else I have received from you. Or hopefully I will be able to be a part of a PIF process to distribute the edit to others. I cannot stress how much I LOVE his version of Attack of the Clones. I know others prefer Magnoliafan’s, or ADM’s, and that is perfectly fine. Both are superior edits to Lucas' version, especially ADM's. I just feel the Phantom Editor approached it with an editor's, and story teller's, mentality, and he nailed it. If you do happen to score a proper dvd version of the Phantom Edit, please do what you can to bump it to the top of your list, if that is possible. I know you have others who are all the time wanting you to bump each and everything you offer to the top, so I don’t want to be a pest about it. I’m just very excited about the possibility of actually being able to love a version of The Phantom menace as much as I now do Attack of the Clones. I love ADM’s “A Vergeance (sp?) in the Force.” I want to be able to compare the two. Here’s to hoping it works out!
