Yeah, I briefly considered doing what Trooperman did, but ultimately decided that moving forward was more important than keeping the joke.
Small delay with the video quality of the crawl... should have it ironed out in the next couple days. Otherwise, I'm very happy with how it looks, even on the single layer dvd.

What's the status on this project, Slumberland?

I am ashamed to say I've not yet viewed The Gathering Storm in its entirety. I have been so freaking busy the past few weeks. As soon as I watch it, I'll let you know what I think.

Plus, torrenting is not the evil it's made out to be, as long as you're not ripping the new Pirates of the Carribean movie and uploading it, etc., there's honestly nothing for you to be concerned about. It's an extremely efficient, cost-effective way to get your project out to many people in a short period of time. Makes PIF seem crude and ancient.

Slumberland, what all have you done to Episode I?
Let's see... offhand, from memory:
New title and new crawl. Lots of trims of lines and moments I never liked, such as "are you brain dead?" and stuff like that. Hardly revolutionary, I know. I tried to trim up the whole opening, including Qui-Gon and Kenobi's long walk over to the window, which in turn meant I had to trim Obi-Wan's "you were right about one thing, Master..." from later, which was fine with me because I thought the improvement in pace early on was worth the loss of the funny later. Which wasn't that funny to begin with.
I left Jar Jar somewhat intact, but did whatever I could to remove any utterance of his which smacked of modernity or over-colloquialism and whatnot... 'crunchin', 'moolah', even when he says "any help here would be hot", I dubbed in my best Jar Jar impression so that he says "any help here would be nice". I give Lucas props for pre-figuring the use of "hot" by Paris Hilton, however. No one ever said he wasn't a visionary. Overall, the trip through Otoh Gungah is very quick. "Yousa in big doo-doo this time" got excised. The trip through the core isn't seen either, beyond the departure shot and then later, when they surface.
Some of Sio Bibble's lines are cut. It goes straight from "a communications breakdown can mean only one thing... invasion" right to Panaka telling Amidala this is a dangerous situation.
When the Jedi rescue Amidala, Jar Jar's "yousa guys bombad" is cut. Some Panaka and Bibble in the hallway gets dropped, too. Then there's pretty much a direct lift from Magfan's cut when Qui-Gon goes whoop-ass on the battle droid with less pleasantries exchanged.
No Jar-Jar bumping into R2 units in the Queen's ship. When the Queen thanks R2, it's a short scene, without Panaka's announcement of R2's name. I didn't think Panaka ever earned the right to introduce such a wonderful character.
Let's see... without getting bogged down in details. On Tatooine, I was able to remove the pod race announcer and Jabba's appearance completely. The focus is entirely on the race now, and I like it better. The intro to the race is also shorter, and shows fewer wacky racers. The music swells in a different place as a result, when Anakin waves to the crowd, but I think it works. I didn't add any new score to the race or anything. Oh, and before that, I took out "mom, you say the biggest problem in the universe... etc." Just too much talking.
I think I managed to get "I get to go with you in your starship?" line out, if I remember correctly. There are other cuts that most people have made... no yippees, no midichlorians. The probe droid scene is back in. No 'balf' children. No Jar-Jar getting stuck in the engine.
Coruscant has some trims... a bit from the beginning of Palpatine in the office, and the scene where Anakin tries to visit the Queen is gone. "Weesa going home" is also out.
The briefing in the woods is much shorter. I just could never stand how disinterested Portman looked in that scene. She must have been having a bad day. Nass never makes Jar-Jar general, either. It's just assumed that he fights alongside his people. So there's no fainting joke. Fainting jokes are for the French (who I love, by the way).
Lots of trims in the final battle, mostly Jar Jar, though some of his less offensive schtick stays, which really isn't bad at all when you've taken out enough to minimalize the ill-will towards him that normally has built up to that point.
I so wanted to get Panaka's "I guess you can kiss your trade franchise goodbye" line out, but just couldn't figure out how to do it. Drove me nuts. Panaka's just a miserable screen presence. One of my friends and I had a running joke where we would apply Panaka's negativity to everyday events. "This is a sandwich I do not think will be delicious."
The final change, and a big one, is that the funeral scene has the 'Funeral Pyre for a Jedi' cue from ROTJ over it... the scene ends on the shot of Palpatine, crescendos via a pitch-shifted snippet from the overture to ESB, and takes it directly out to the credits. No parade.
There are other things I haven't mentioned, most likely because they're now standard practice for fan-edit-excision, but going by the changes listed I'm sure you can imagine what else might be gone too. The main things I wanted to get across, having never seen them before in an episode 1 edit, were the total removal of Jabba and the podrace announcers, and the transition from the funeral out to the credits. But the movie's a lot shorter on the whole, too. 109 minutes, I think.
I'm one of those people that really, really likes the story of the prequels, but bloat, speedbumps, moments that always knock me out of that Star Wars universe... they prevent them from being truly engrossing for me. So my goal with all three was lean and mean, with visuals always taking precedence over dialogue. Once you start chipping away, moments you never really noticed start coming to the fore. I remember in episode 2, right after Shmi's funeral, there's this wonderfully composed shot when R2 arrives with Obi-Wan's message, and Anakin walks into frame and his cape is blowing in the wind, and the desert is behind them, and it just screamed Star Wars to me. But in every viewing of the theatrical cut, I'd be so numb and beaten down at that point by extraneous moments and dialogue, something like that would never even catch my attention. It's a really fun process.
