MagnoliaFan Edits: Ep I "Balance Of The Force", and Ep II "The Clone War" (Released) — Page 9

Wow, a website with people who have actually taken part in editing Episode 1. Great! I have been a member of far too many sites that just "talk" about what the people would like to see changed. It's great to join a site where people have taken the bull by the horns themselves.

I would like to buy the MagnoliaFan Edits, inserts and all.
MagnoliaFan, I PM-ed you.

Glad to be a member.

You all can throw multiple pointy rocks at me, but I gotta say it...

I LIKE the line when Anakin says "I miss you so much" at the grave. What it needed was context, that Lucas or SOMEONE left out of there. The extended monologue that MagFan got in there was a great context. If I was the one calling the shots and it was possible, I would have him open with the "I miss you" line and then say all the real substantive stuff. Which isn't to complain about MagFan's work or say I could do better, because I'm 99.87 percent sure I couldn't. Just tossing two cents onto the pile.

And it's really too bad there aren't any cuts around the truly, deeply love you line. Either word would be ok on it's own, but together... no one talks like that in that situation. I can see why the actors/esses often had a hard time acting "human" since the dialogue is unnatural.

And with those comments, I'll again close by saying MagFan is the MagMan. (Just sticking with the tradition of putting a good thought into poor phrasing... If you're an OT fan and haven't seen these, GET THEM.
If you're going to take forever, then I'm having a hotdog!

Wouldn't it be cool if Episode III required next to no editing done except for continuity things like Jar Jar, Neimodians, Dooku's saber, etc. for MagnoliaFan's edit? Just a thought.

Hopefully the plot won't be changed a whole lot. I know he's trying to keep the "father" line in ESB a surprise, so hopefully EpIII will allow him to do that without having to drastically change the ending.

My stance on revising fan edits.

It'll be interesting how he keeps the ESB revelation a surprise. I get the feeling it would be very hard to do but then again, we haven't seen what's coming yet. I get the feeling it would be VERY easy to preserve the ROTJ sibling surprise, though. It all depends on how it's executed on-screen.

Meanwhile, I'm avoiding spoilers on ROTS in hopes of giving myself some actual enjoyment while sitting in the theatre. There will be enough time to critique it after the third viewing.

I've started burning a few copies of your newly subtitled Ep 1 MagnoliaFan Edit - Balance Of The Force and will give them to a few mates here in the UK, and a couple in Italy that were interested too - all free of charge.

I'll keep a few spare copies too for anyone else interested.

Didn't realise they had both the original MagnoliaFan subtitles and your new subs on the dvd - with so much going on here it must have slipped my mind

Though the disk is NTSC based it does of course play on any multi-region dvd player - which nearly dvd player over here in the UK (and probably most of Europe has the capability of anyway)

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be a hint like this , as Rikter's a real helpful kinda guy.
The original Star Wars trilogy: Our cultural history deserves to be preserved and should be available to the public like all great works of art!

Hmmm..

Seems that Rikters thread was pulled.

Dang.

And i was looking forward to that torrent link for Magnolia's Ep2 .

Guess it's down to PM's, eh?

Hopefully the EpIII edit will not be very drastic at all. And judging from the teaser trailer, it might not have to be.

Obviously, Episode I had more of what I'd consider to be a full overhaul. Many things were drastically changed about it.

Episode II also had major things and aspects changed, but not nearly as drastically.

My *hope* for Episode III is that only a few trivial tweaks, cuts and smoothings are made. Because it looks like it will be awesome enough already. Ideally, the only alterations would be things such as Jar Jar and Dooku's saber to ensure continuity.
Oh and about preserving the ESB surprise... I'm all for it BUT not if it involves a super-huge altering of the ending. I mean, that would be great to have ESB remain a secret, but it doesn't really seem like that will be possible.

The second we get a title confirmed from the master editor himself, MagnoliaFan, I'll get right to work on covers.

I guess MagnoliaFan didn't get my private message.

Anyone else know where I can get the two DVDs?

I'm something of a collector of Phantom Menace fan remakes. I've downloaded the original "Phantom Edit" and the more recent "People's Choice" using eMule.

I live in southwestern Washington State, USA and would gladly pay for the DVDs.

What's this "People's Choice" - Is this the MagnoliaFan "Re-Edit of a Re-Edit" edit? a few months ago some one ripped Magnolias Edit and Claimed credit for it - YES there are changes but they used MagFans Edit as their base.

Either way hit me up and I'm sure we can work something out - DOH! - HEY WELCOME to the forum!

The "People's Choice" is basically just the original Phantom Menace with some of the deleted scenes reinserted. Jar Jar still uses broken english, steps in dung.

I only sped through the movie to see how they were reinserted into the film, but at a casual glance, not much of an alteration.

In fact, the scene where Anakin fights Greedo is inserted entirely into the wrong space. We go from seeing Anakin win the pod race, to Anakin getting in the fight only to be separated by Qui-Gon (and the two walk off together), immediately to Qui-Gon back at the ship telling Obi-Wan that he's going back for Anakin, to Anakin deciding to go with Qui-Gon to become a Jedi. In my opinion, the fight scene should have come after Qui-Gon's talk with Obi-Wan; it just seems more logical to me.

The "People's Choice" is 2 cds, 6 channel audio DVD rip. I do not believe that I'm allowed to post a link to the emule discussion thread, or else I'd post it.

If interested, Rikter, let me know. I'd be delighted to swap digitally or in the mail.

I think he just means the longer version of Anakin whining to Padme about killing the Tuskens.

Another question: Is there a Dual-Layer version of the MF edits available, or was it published as single-layer from the master?
