Thank you for the great feedback, and you bring up some compelling points. The most intriguing of them is the moment before the arena.

Regarding your question about High Def. Frink has been lobbying me to do HD since Shadow of the Sith. I'm not opposed to the prospect of replicating my edits in HD once the blu-rays come out, but I've yet to create an edit from an HD source, and because I edit on a Mac, the current time it takes to create editable files is staggering, and even then, the methods for creating AVCHD disks, as far as I understand it, are limited/problematic.

While I make no promises, my plan is that once I wrap Episode III, I'll look into editing something non-SW in HD. If I can successfully create an edit, I will likely then see about recreating Episodes I - III sometime in 2012. There are at least 3 projects which I want to work on before stepping back into Star Wars editing, so it won't be any time in the near future.

Thanks!
