I'll give this a bump in order to say that I finally got my hands on these edits; all three of them, in fact. I won't go into detail, but I will say that all three of them a very VERY well done. Slumberland's Pod Race scene is my favorite fan edited version so far. I was always wanting EVERY bit of those annoying fucking announcers gone, and now they are. Technically, the edits in his versions were pretty much seemless to me. The best part of all, though, is that abortion of the celebration-ending is finally exorcised. I'll put this Ep. 1 edit right up there with the best of them that I've seen. I've yet to see Magnoliafan's versions, but would certainly love to. Any help on that? Anyone??? Anyway, as for Slumberland's Ep. 3 edit I, was really suprised by how much his edit improved Ep. 3, especially since I never had many serious problems with the theatrical version of Ep. 3 (obvious issues aside.) I thought Ep. 3 was about as good as the current version of George Lucas was capable of making it. There were some strong moments in RotS. Slumberland's edit removes the several bad elements, and is a tighter movie. I had never thought of removing the elevator scene in the beginning, but it is certainly not missed. I haven't fully watched his Ep. 2 edit yet. I have scanned most of it, and it is certainly just as well done as the other two, but my favorite Ep. 2 edit by FAR is Attack of the Phantom. I've grown so accustomed to Attack of the Phantom's edits that any other version right now would seem a bit off to me. So, seek these out. Grab the torrent of Ep. 1 that is out there, or was, ans hope the other two get upped soon.
