This post is the seed of a project I am about to undertake. I intend to do a re-edit of scenes from the Clone Wars that will, for me, supplant Episodes I and II.

I, along with many other internet enthusiasts, complain that those movies should have been about Obi Wan and Anakin’s relationship to which was alluded during Wars. I started watching CW in spite of the fact that I have otherwise sworn off all things Prequel-era precisely because I’ve heard so many good things about how it delves into this back story.

What I want to do is create a 90 minute or 2ish hour movie that IS the story of their relationship. I have all of the editing tools, I have the time, I have the skills. What I need is source material. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of these episodes that are ready to drop in and begin cutting? If the answer is “buy the DVD or Blu-Ray” that’s fine, but I’ve never had any luck with rippers. I don’t know if I’m just cursed or what, but I would prefer some already existing source in which I don’t have to remove the protection.

I haven’t seen anything like what I am proposing out there, but if there already is, and you know about it, please feel free to point it out to me. I’d far rather watch it than spend several weeks or months cutting it.

EDIT: …and it occurred to me a fraction of a second too late that this probably should have been posted in Fan Edits instead of General. I’m still kind of Noobie that way. With apologies to the mods for the extra work they have to do if they decide to move it.
