Right down to the "I am your father" scene still being a surprise in ESB.
I've already shown my 1 and 2 edits to a few people who know nothing about the original trilogy. Such people do exist.
Secondly, Dooku is still a Jedi.
The order may not acknowledge him, but by that arguement, Luke was never and will never be a Jedi because the order is dead and gone before he confronts Vader.
Hell, Vader is still called a Jedi in Episode IV by both Obi-Wan and Tarkin.
Just because a Christian doesn't belong to a church, doesn't mean they cease to be a Christian.... and just because a Jedi Knight/Master ceases to be a Knight/Master, doesn't mean he's not still a Jedi.
Umm... "shitty and infantile"...
Don't know where you got that quote from.
Those words were never spoken by me.
What was that about putting words into people's mouths?
And its not criticism I'm touchy over.
People have criticised elements of the edits on here before, we make our cases and that is that.
Most of this has been like that Monty Python sketch:
"This isn't an arguement!"
"Yes it is"
"No it isn't! This is just contradiction!"
"No it isn't!"
"Yes it is!"
It just seems as if this whole thing is going nowhere. You keep saying that I ruined the film because of some little smile in one scene of a sequel that hasn't even happened yet. No debate is ever going to change that. It just repeats itself.
"Yes you did!"
"No I didn't!"
As far as fouling up Episode III, I had a friend who said lopping out midichlorians, a virgin birth, and changing the cause for the entire invasion of Naboo would screw up Episode II. Its didn't affect anything at all. Nor will this. I know what happens in George's III. Dooku is dead too quick to really change anything... and then, in his 5 minutes of screentime, they have to reveal him as a Sith yet again to the Jedi, or never make reference to him being a Sith again. Either way it will work out fine, probably without even having to trim anything.
As far as wasting time, the edits of Episode I and II were done because I had no knowledge of how to go about editing whatsoever and wanted to learn. Now I know... seems pretty worthwhile to me.
I turned them in for a project in an editing class I took and the instructor didn't even know how to do some of what I did.
I only made copies of these for a select few people, then those edits were stolen and were being bootlegged at conventions and sold online for like $25 - $50 each.
I passed them along to Rikter and a few others to make them available to people without shelling out money to bootleggers and was invited to this board by a few members to share a little technical insight.
My life is not these edits.
