i have been a lurker on many boards just reading the posts on all things SW for a long time now, i heard of the edit that appeared after TPM came out but i never came across it until the other night when a group of buddies and i got together to rate the 2004 dvds in comparison to the OT videos and one of the guys brought over rikter's DVD of the phantom edit 1.1 for me to view. i loved it and i am hooked (which is not a surprise since a good SW tale is enough). if it can become a better movie with just the pacing edited i cant wait to view MF's versions of Balance of the Force and The Clone War. being a film major i know how much work can go into a project like this and i salute you.
