I'm sorry that I have exhausted my ESB ROTJ thoughts.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I am most profoundly impressed by the quality of the effort here!My silences have been due to awe. Watching rough notions tossed out and then everyone here going to work to develope them into great possibilities and then some into great edits has been fascinating beyond words. I hope that what I have brought up might be helpful in some small way.
All I have left are for remakes. "Treatment", except in the medical/surgical sense, is probably too grandios for anything I did. I abandoned that whole effort long ago after reading an article about the tremendous difficulties production companies faced in dealing with any material coming in from outside sources. It seemed like it might just create great problems- the exact opposite of the intent. I continued to think about it, from time to time, for my own edification and/or amusement. Manipulating the characters and environments of the SW world in ways that could only rightfully be accomplished by LFL (remakes) seems like an intrusion upon intellectual property.
I'm grateful that LFL and The MPAA have permited these fan-edit efforts to continue. I can certainly see how it all contributes very much to the film and audio arts and technology.
It's been an amazing show! Thank You! :)
