Hello everyone. I just read your new posts today.

To be honest I completely forgot about this project and the website until I found it on my old drive and watched the DVD-9 workprint all the way through for the first time in a long, long time. My first reaction was, my gosh- so much work went into this. My second reaction was that emotionally (if not technically) it really seems to still have a strong impact. It has a more adult feel than I remember, too.

Of course, I saw mostly the flaws (Anakin's dub and especially Boba Fett's dub have to go, also what was I thinking with that loud 70s lounge track on the flight to Naboo scene? I also co-opted a lot of music and video clips from other places. I think the music is mostly fine, but would need to replace the video clips from Independence Day and Blade Runner to really have it taken seriously). It's a little discouraging because it seems that there'd be so much to do to make it a proper movie, including new special effects work to replace the Independence Day stuff.

I was actually thinking of just putting a "ROUGH CUT" at the beginning, slapping a time-code on the video, and calling it done. But I am really sad but also encouraged that you guys still think this is the strongest edit.

Maybe I'll fire up my hard drive and see what is what.

EDIT: To those who have requested the DVD-5 version I seem to have lost it, but I'm sure I can shrink the DVD-9 and make a new copy when I have time.
