Back after TPM came out, a new version of the movie started circulating on video and on the web. It was known as The Phantom Edit because this guy, whose identity remained a complete mystery (hence "Phantom"), took all the complaints about TPM and reversed them, per se. He edited out almost all the scenes with Jar Jar, spruced up some fights, eliminated a lot of the infantile comments by Jake Lloyd, etc. I never saw TPE, but I heard the guy did a spectacular job. There was a lot of speculation as to who the Phantom Editor was, including speculation that it was Kevin Smith. But the actual guy started up a website and shot down all the rumors as to his identity. I think it has since been discovered who he really is, but I don't know it offhand.
