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.

ZING!

Hmmm. Now I'm curious to see the ending as well, but not so much to even get the .avi

What's the .avi size Frink?

If anyone wants, I can send them the Full DVD of this; it's interesting watching TPM with no Jar Jar. However, narratively, it's drivel. PM me if you're interested. The DVD-9 is actually quite good quality since it's from HD sources...

Watched it.SPOILERS.

Credit where credit is due... the rotoscoping of Jar Jar was kinda alright. Except when he just showed up sometimes.

Honestly, this edit doesn't make a lot of sense.

We first here Dooku's name at about 5 min, then not again for an hour. He shows up for 2 min and hour later, then vanishes until a real bad last second appearance in a scene he had no reason to be in.

I don't know why Padme died.

I don't know who Darth Sidious, The Chancellor, The Emperor, or Palpatine are. Some old ugly guy tells the soldier to kill Obi and a bunch of Jedi I don't know.

Out of nowhere the old ugly guy says he's worried about someone named Vader, then a few seconds later we meet Vader in full armor strapped to a table. (only noticeable terrible audio cut) Hello. No mention of his is ever made again

Obi-Wan and the girl we never met are sad because someone we never met killed younglings, but this doesn't seem to go anywhere.

We get a flashback to a decent, if confusing abridged TPM. To avoid Anakin saying 'are you an angel' the conversation starts even MORE awkwardly, with Padme out of nowhere saying "I don't understand this place" to a kid she's never met. Then she leaves saying "Nice to meet you" and he's never spoken. Is he autistic?

Later, inside Obi-Wan's flashback of AOTC we get to see Anakin's flashback to how much he liked podracing, Kitster, and his mom. A little odd and felt out of place.

And the ending. Is it supposed to be ambiguous as to who Vader is? Because I didn't see any reason to suspect ANYONE was Vader. Vader was just this other dude who never did anything in the movie. I certainly had no reason to think it was Anakin, Dooku, or the dude who killed younglings from three hours earlier.

Lastly, the credits end with a title card that says if you don't like this edit, you're a lemming. Dude really likes that word.

It was ambitious, mostly technically proficient, and ultimately not that rewarding to watch. Perhaps engaging in a dialogue with other enthusiasts rather than with 2 sycophants and a couple sock accounts by himself would have helped him tighten his work up.

Someone needs to introduce George Lucas to Anti-Matter. From the sounds of this thread they'd get along great!

Hmm... has anyone ever seen George Lucas and Anti-Matter in the same room at the same time? No? A-ha!

New comment on the article from "maddog"

The Prologue was the "first" for many reasons because it's so unlike the prequels. For example, it was the first true fanedit in that category to be created on a new movie conception. I don't think it can be compared to those other edits at all. See Logan5's original review because he explains it beautifully. Anti-matter did not just splice three movies together like those before him. He gave us a completely new movie and story. All you azzholes at ot.com should stop trying to negate his work, because it's not going to have much weight outside your classless website.

Because nothing says "classy" like calling a whole forum a bunch of "azzholes."

Not being a moderator or anything, just one of the bunch speaking his brains but most of this thread seems more about the zany antics of Anti-matter and his pals, rather than the Prologue project itself.

Wouldn't it make more sense to move it to the off topic zone where that can be laughed at and roasted with total freedom rather than having it bob up and down in one of the sedate 'creative zones' of the forums (you know, the one with the Worst Edit Ideas and The Ridiculous Edit in)?

I gave a reasonable review of the project. Minimum snark.

It seems that SOMEWHERE in the fan-edit community online should have a discussion of a major project.

I forget now but was his thread here ever locked?

It is a giggle that Frink has probably brought traffic to his site while this thread has also brought or rekindled some interest in his project.

 Where do these dudes come from?

I mean, OK, they like anti-matter, and they apparently really like his edit. Whatever. But why do they all hate OT.com and FE.org? (FE<3OT) I read their message boards and couldn't even figure it out.

In regards to the comment, it should be noted that "Prologue" actually doesn't alter the story at all, it just shortens the films and presents certain plot points out of order. The only real alteration is the HEY REMEMBER ME! random shot of Dooku at the end.

Anti-Matter's piéce de résistance is obviously an avant-garde masterpiece. That you lemmings can't appreciate it says more about you than this demigod and His stellar magnus opus.

I had totally forgotten about Anti-Matter and was really curious as to who he was so I read the thread that was linked to and suddenly remembered it well.

Man, I LOVE this C3PX guy, wish he was still around. :(

Moth3r, Erikstormtrooper, and Adywan, you are all trolls, appearently. You are also lemmings who have contributed nothing, ZERO, ZILCH!

All three of you have engaged in a blantant display of unsolicited trashing and you all disgust me!

Can you believe a mod would say something so cruel and unsolicited as:

Moth3r said:

[Personally I think it's bad etiquette to remove the first post from a thread with eighty-something replies.

What does "make better use of available web resources" mean exactly?

And Erik, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, I always felt you were a valuable member of this community but I will be fooled no longer after reading where you unsolcititedly and lemmingishly said:

Erikstormtrooper said:

Yeah, and some hint as to where this is being moved TO would be nice.

And Adywan, as of late you have been a bit of a forum celebrity, but I daresay you have destroyed your reputation when you got so bold as to say such things as:

So what does "This project is being moved to make better use of available web resources" mean then? I really can't see why you would want to move this project from here. Without the guys here i wouldn't have been able to accomplish half of what i did with "Revisited". Maybe a better explanation would be nice, especially when so many here have already had an input into this project since you opened this thread.

So, PM me as to where you are off to Anti-Matter, I can't stand to be around this bunch of lemmings anylonger. Those unsoliciters with their homerisms, juvenile mob mentality, and their presumptuousness can all go to hell for all I care! I hereby leave OT.com forever.

 Re-read that thread.

It's odd. Up until he decided to leave, anti-matter seemed like a pretty cool dude. Then all of a sudden he went all paranoid-rude-stinky.

I'd understand if he'd been in some kind of flame-war, or released his edit here and people didn't like it. But this whole thing just boggles my mind. I desperatly want to understand, but it's a vortex of madness and rudeness.
