So as some know, I'm working on a project to collect missing material from the Star Wars films. I'm largely done with the OT, but I've been collecting stuff for the PT--not as extensive because I don't find the PT to be nearly so awesome, but a decent amount. As I'm doing so, I'm using sites like T-bone's Star Wars Universe. This is a very cool site with tons of information. One of the things that impresses me is the context given for much of the deleted material. And when referring to the PT, I can't help but think, "Ooh, the movies would have been better if they left in that line, or this scene, or that shot." While the PT is clearly inferior to the OT, I do still enjoy it. But I am sure I would have enjoyed it more had it been edited differently, not just cutting out a bunch of junk, but including some stuff currently missing, including some stuff that didn't even make it to the BDs. I am now convinced that in spite of weak acting, overuse of CGI, and a weaker script, the films could have still been dramatically strengthened with some better editing.
