Hey ErikStormtrooper!

I actually did this for much the same reason - so I could watch it with my 8 yr. old.
I also created a new crawl (in iMovie - so it's all center justified - rats) so I wouldn't have to explain the Angelina Jolie line.

I'll post or PM you a more extensive list of edits (busy weekend for me) , but just a few things I cut were:
- I cut the entire pre & post Star Wars 'family' scenes. They were just completely unnecessary imho
- all expletives
- all OMGs (personal preference)
- ALL hints of pedophilia with the Ben character - in my opinion this is just never funny - ever
- R2's nastier lines. He now says "that's the way we do it in my neighborhood."
- Luke and Leia on 1st meeting:
"Aren't you a little fat for a Stormtrooper?"
"Well, stay here and rot."
"Wait, who are you?"

Admittedly the duel is less than exciting, but I'd rather have that than the flaccid joke that existed. (pun fully intended)

I also added SFX from the original series when /where appropriate to alter the less than savory lines... things like R2's beeps and I threw in some Jawa SFX to make the Grey Poupon joke funnier

The fact that it's animated helped immensely to cut nastier stuff.

Anyway, let me know and I can send you a copy. This is not an Adywan or ADM skilled edit, but my son doesn't even notice the cuts, and we can both have a good laugh.
