Eh, he wanted to get more attention by being the forerunner of his own forum and leaving us. It's a shame, since this led to his edit getting less attention than if he just finished it here. The edit does have some admittedly interesting ideas, editing wise; the problem is that his ego is as big as the Hindenburg (and probably will suffer the same fate: blow up). He messed up the narrative in a misguided attempt to make something more complex and original, though it may have been easily remedied by constructive criticism from this website or fanedit.org.

As said before the Jar-Jar removal was interesting technically, as well as Anakin's removal in the latter part of the TPM section. His unwillingness to cut more in the AOTC section is what really drags the film down; it's still filled with awful romance, which other edits have fixed... (yes L8wrtr, I'm looking at you). Furthermore, ROTS is completely convoluted now. He starts with it in the beginning, returns to it in the middle, but never gives the whole thing a proper nod at the flashback at the end... just a random montage.
