From an editing standpoint, SW & ESB are far superior to ROTJ, which suggests Paul Hirsch is the secret weapon.


I think its a matter of the material he had to work with. I think even if I edited it i could still make ANH and ESB better-edited films than ROTJ simply because of the way they were shot.


I don't think I'd agree with that. The 12/76 edit of "The Star Wars" by John Jympson was a trainwreck. It's not as if the film was made of pre-cut puzzle pieces.
