I'm very glad you guys are happy I've worked on this - it makes the hard work certainly worth it. Here's the overall scope of this project - I started it about two years ago (a little less than that) - mainly to hone my editing skills with a vast amount of footage and also, it'd be just plain fun to do a Star Wars movie - without throwing on robes and choreographing lightsaber battles in a forest.
I also wanted my close friends to experience the story - certainly a situation that would not happen without these movies.I was gungho at first, finished the first hour and a half - then work forced me to move, I had a girlfriend, and my regular job was an editing job so the last thing I wanted to stare at after a long hard day of editing was another timeline. So I kinda halted. The response at TFN was great - and I discovered, after like 8 months away, the interest (and both forum threads) were still there. I'm making another move for work (to Austin, TX, can't wait!) so I decided I'd finish the damn thing before the move - otherwise I fear I'd never get to it - well, I do finish everything I start, so I feared it'd be another year delay. Lots thought I was gone, they just didnt know my work habit.
Suddenly I'm back - thanks to their continued interest - and my realization that I needed to finish what I started, and three weeks later, I'm burning my umpteenth version of a full DVD, complete with animated menus, special features (well, a trailer and an eppy 2 teaser) and I'm just proud overall.So I'm glad you guys over here are excited too, I respect this site and love how people are doing fan edits. About 4 years ago I once had ambitions of compositiing myself into every Anakin shot of Episode 1 and making Anakin an older, bad seed drug dealer kinda undiscovered jedi (I was a young looking 23 - ha!) - so I love some of the ideas being displayed here.
Anyway - some tidbits for those non-KOTOR fans - the first episode features Mandalorians, A Pod Race, The Rancor, Alien gang wars, a fiesty teen twilek, Swoop Bike battle in ruins, Wookies fighting Wookies, a hot chick with a double bladed lightsaber, bounty hunters, finally we see "Dantooine, they're on Dantooine", three cantinas/clubs, cameo appearances by KOTOR2 (the game, not my second movie) characters, space battles, lightsaber battles, and of course, that Star Wars feel setting up a truly epic trilogy that only gets BETTER with parts 2 and 3!
Hopefully you guys will enjoy it... more soon!
