Ah...I see. Your humor is not always entirely graspable.
Moving on...

I try to get my head around what kind of person this VFlix must be in everyday life. My first two thoughts are he's 13, or he's actually Anti-Matter.
I confess I've had the same thought before. However, I doubt he's really Anti-Matter. I mean, no one could be that desperate for praise, right?
Right?
TV's Frink is the most awesomest, coolest, down right bestest person in the whole wide world. If I wasn't me I'd want to be him. He's that good! Everything he says and does is just awesome. Seriously. You should buy me things. I mean... buy him things.

I think this part may go in my FE.org sig. ;-)

It's now a trademark, so I want a nickle for every time you post. :p

Done. What you can't have is a nickel.

You'd set fire to your computer and live in a cave if you figured out how I am making all these socks work :-D

Are you sure it wasn't a picture of a lemming?

Strangely, I have not been banned yet... Eh.
Checked out their site on a wide survey of Star Wars messageboards, seeing what people are saying about the BR release.
Nothing, but humorously their tiff with Frink is actually on the FRONT PAGE of their website. Real great first impression to new enthusiasts.
Also, 1/3 of the threads in their "Fanedit" message board is about banning people and hating OT.com.

The best part about that is how I appear to be the sane one...which is not inaccurate.

Will this sound be somewhere in your edit?
I think you have the wrong thread....but no, it won't be.
What strikes me as particularly hilarious is the lemmings "suicide" from Disney's White Wilderness was faked. They flew the lemmings to the location, and then filmed them as they were deliberately pushed over the edge.
It's always amused me to note that, in general, the most egotistical people have the least reason to be so. I followed Prologue fairly closely prior to its release, and downloaded/watched it shortly thereafter. I found the experience to be more painful and cringe-worthy than sitting through the official PT itself.
As someone else mentioned, his visuals are fairly impressive, and one or two sequences are laudable. But the overall editing job is so poorly done, the entire thing just feels hacked-up and confusing. My wife (who isn't a hardcore Star Wars fan) sat through it with me, and couldn't follow the plot to save her life. We were especially taken aback by the train-wreck of an ending. It's like AntiMatter went so far with the project, decided "eh...that's good enough," and just released it unfinished.
The really hilarious part is that he doesn't even accomplish what he set out to do. One of the major objectives of this fanedit was to restore "saga secrecy," i.e. preserving Vader's secret identity. In the beginning of the edit, this purpose is served by deleting any reference to "Anakin" when Vader's dirty ROTS deeds are referred to. When he gets to the end of his edit (the Palpy-Mace-Anakin confrontation) AntiMatter is clearly out of ideas, so he slaps a two-second shot of Dooku showing up unexpectedly, and then ends the edit there, with no dénouement or closing sequence or anything, just a bad montage of a few random ROTS scenes. He explained on his site something to the effect of "now when you watch the OT, there's a 50-50 chance that Vader is either Anakin or Dooku." Which really doesn't make any sense at all. Even ignoring Dooku's advanced age in ROTS, the fact that he retained all the ROTS footage showing Obi-Wan and Padme discussing Anakin's (some unnamed person's) youngling killing spree and expressing disbelief/concern for Anakin (the mysterious stranger), pretty much rules out any reasonable person from concluding that Dooku did it (whom Obi-Wan and Padme neither know particular well nor care for).
In short: it's a garbled mess. It's kinda laughable that AntiMatter deemed it worthy for public release when it was obviously a rough draft, and a poor one at that; it's pathetic that the sycophants on his website rate it so glowingly; but it's just downright sad that the place has decided to define itself as a juvenile, anti-OT.com, anti-FE.org, den of self-congratulatory wankers.

I was the one who said all that about his edit. I agree with every single point you make. It's like Lucas took to fan editing..... Oh wait: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27RVJJfny4I

After all this nonsense, Im actually quite curious to see this thing. I can't handle the DVD-9 they have available for download right now. Does anyone know (perhaps PM me) where I could score the AVI if it's still available? Thanks.
Boost, I think I reupped the avi to MU a while back for someone else. PM me as a reminder and I'll check my account.
I'm actually curious to get my hands on the DVD 9, so if anyone knows the whereabouts there.. a PM would be appreciated ;)
Are you banned there? I thought all you had to do was log in and you could get the links right on the edit page (available through the database).
I do still have the avi uploaded, so if anyone else is interested, PM me.

Soooo not interested. Besides if I wanted to watch sub-par crap, I'd buy the Star Wars Blurays....Ooooooo.
Has the grand chosen one (or anyone else) put the trainwreck ending on YouTube? I'm sufficiently curious to click a link to see it, but not sufficiently curious to download a great big file or burn a disk.
"Close the blast doors!"

It would be good to see this ending on youtube. It would be interesting to see the comments where they can't delete any negative ones.
I'm extremely curious now...why exactly is this ending such a mess?
