I think that happens all the time here. Probably most of the edits done around here were greatly inspired by Magfan the Phantom Editor before him. I have my own versions of the PT I have made, I took ideas from the other edits I have seen and put them all together into my own personal edits. In my version of the Phantom Menace I have the whole pod race sequence clocking in at just under five minutes, and I worked it so there is no submarine scene at all. I took a lot of my Jar Jar cuts from Magfan, but I didn't bother with subs. Over all mine are much more conservative edits, leaving as much of the original feel to the films as possible, while removing the parts I find unbearable. However, I don't claim I can do better, just more to my own liking.

But it is a very interesting to think that there is a good chance everybody here has a very different version of the PT that they watch.

So, has anybody seen Kirkless Generations? I have seen a few CBB edits and have so far not been impressed with them. They do impressive editing work, but story wise I feel they are too far removed from the source material for the film (War of the Worlds is a good example) and are just looking to make something new and interesting out of a film they didn't enjoy. I was wondering if it is worth my effort to obtain Kirkless? I always thought it was a lame way to pass the torch to the TNG crew, and felt it would have worked better without teaming Picard and Kirk together, but I think the movie is pretty cool otherwise (for an ST movie, that is). Were they able to pull it off fairly seamlessly? I really don't see how they could make the fight scene at the end work too well. Any outstanding reviews for this thing?
