I started this thread because for me the PT is such a mess that as good as some of the more conventional edits (trimming and shifting scenes) are to make these films even approach the moniker of Star Wars episodes they need a lot more work done to them.

The stories, the performances and the production details like effects etc all need further development.

The ANH:SE thread started as a pressure valve for the ANH:R thread as Adywan had said he was finished with that project and wanted to move forward but people still had lots of great ideas.

I hope it inspires more people to take up the mantle and since Ady has announced doing an HD version maybe he will have a look at some of those ideas and maybe...just maybe use a few for that project. I added the 'Radical' bit to the title because I was asked to.

Some postees wanted to put up ideas the pushed even further than Ady wanted to go with that film, which worked well enough in 1977 for us to still care enough to get the original version preserved.

I didn't start the Wishlist thread but as I feel ROTJ is almost as flawed as the PT many of my ideas have gone out beyond what I would suggest for ESB or ANH and much of the ideas posted by other people there have too.

It's also become a repository for ESB ideas that Adywan doesn't want to use but could be interesting in another project.

There have been some really interesting projects made outside than the glorious Revisited series and by having brainstorming threads like these hopefully more and more people will start expressing their creativity and give us all some exciting and fun end product to share and enjoy.

The Boost's Worst Edit Ideas thread has also been a genuine source of joy, I hope that's inspired a few humour based edits.

Star Wars fans need a giggle now and then.
