Then if you're making/buying fan-edits you're pissing over all the work the hundreds of people put into it. And again, with the bad "transfer"... god, get over it.
And not having the money to make a movie is an excuse that doesn't hold water. Robert Rodriquez made a movie on film for 7 grand. He would've done it for next to nothing today with digital cameras and desktop editing progams that are standard on Macs now. Go make a movie, don't fuck up someone else's.

King of like what Lucas did to the work of Marquad, Kershner, Kurtz, and millions of craftsmen when he made the SEs, right before claiming that the originals "don't exist" and then releasing them with a substandard transfer? If he, a multibillion, can do it to the mainstream, what's wrong with fans sharing something with each other? I have the balls to make something of my own. Just not the money. I've never made or seen a fan edit, I'm just making a point.
According to Lucas, the original negatives of the O-OT were permanantley altered when he created the SE version, and all the prints they have left of the O-OT are in poor quality.

If I'm a dick for thinking that fanboys editing other people's work is revolting, then so be it.
And Go-mer, I see your point, but fan edits are the height of fanboy hubris... its no different than painting over someone else's canvas.
It's a cowardly attempt by a wannabe filmmaker to squeeze a drop of creativity into their own unimaginative lives. All while distorting the work of someone who actually had the balls to make something of their own.

What is more pathetic - having a legitimate hobby based on passion or having a hobby that completely revolves around ridiculing the hobbies of others? Lucas still has his "original" works of art - they are his and his alone to alter, destroy, re-release, etc. Fans who are so dedicated and fascinated by Lucas' original works of art that they cater them to their own personal tastes is hardly "revolting" or immoral. It is absolutely no different than taking a handful of albums making a mix tape to play on your iPod, or giving the mix tape to your friend.
You are a silly, lifeless cunt. You should take the time it takes you trying to talk others out of their legitimate hobbies and build a ship in a jar. At least after all is said and done you'll have something tangible to show for your wasted time and effort.
