In response to brash styker,no I am not an editor and I have no movie edits to add to this forum,but I've looked thru the site at many people's work. My use of the work "hacking" or editing as you call it might have been harsh ,but after watching many of the clips reedited I just could'nt comprehend the changes in music ,especially the beautiful piece from ROTJ when Luke attacks Vader...its one of the best cues in the series,plus all the switching to other scenes during the saber fight. I find the scenes in the throne room some of the best in the series. As far as my "intellectual level" goes,I am no genius...but like a lot of fans I really wanted the prequels to be at least on the same level as the originals and I guess I was fooling myself and defending them when others downed them. I still think Phantom has some good qualities,Attack of the Clones as well,and RotS is definitely the best of that trilogy. I find it ironic that early on Lucas said " its not the SpFX that make the movie good and many moviemakers just try to make their movies on how many FX they have ,it's the story that makes the movie" however Lucas,,,who should have let others direct,crowded his new series with as many computer fx he could,which he did'nt have to do...more subtle is better. To SpenceEdit,I apologize for being harsh....and to each his own.
