Thanks, Taolar and Ady and everyone else!
You know, better than anyone, these things take an awful lot of work. And when your efforts are met with a general sense of apathy...it's tough to want to try and continue. Makes you question why you're doing it in the first place.
We all have to accept that we're living in a post-Adywan world now. Meaning that it's extremely hard anymore to impress anyone with a Star Wars edit. Ady was the 9/11 of fanediting. I mean that in a good way, Ady. ;) There was the world of fanediting on this board before Revisited, and then the world after. And rightfully so!
The other thing to consider is that we're editing on what will soon be a dead format. Blu-Ray is growing fast and I'd predict in 5 years, DVD's will be on the way out. We may as well be editing on VHS.
That's fine when you're doing a weekend project like Indiana Jones...but when you're pouring hundreds and hundreds of hours into something...only for it to be obsolete sooner than later...it makes you rethink whether or not it's worth it. And more importantly, we're just ready to move on to something else other than Star Wars for a change.
We tried it, we gave it everything we had...and it didn't work. We appreciate all the support. We really do. It kept us going. But, it's just time to let it go.
Like I said on fanedited, at least we got three good trailers out of it, if nothing else.
The other thing I want to say, is that I think it's time for me to leave originaltrilogy and make my new home for any future projects over at fanedited. It gets tiresome posting the same stuff on two different boards and most of the people on here are there (or can be there) too. So, I'm migrating. I find it ironic that this fanediting community has sprung out of a site dedicated to protecting the original SW films from change. But, for me, OT has always been a board full of great, (mostly) mature people who were always friendly and willing to help. Unfortunately, I just feel it's time to move on. I'll still lurk from time to time...but probably won't be contributing here much anymore.
Take care, All! It was a fun ride here at OT.com. I wish you all the best. See you on FE.
