Well, I've had my Magnolia DVDs for a few weeks now and all I can say is they are wonderful! I knew that there was a decent movie under all of that mess that was called TPM. I can't believe how different and how much better Episode I is now. Truly remarkable work.

The edit of Episode II was equally spectacular. There was one thing that I wished had been done. I would have liked the Padame scene in the Senate added back in. I really like that scene and I think it makes the vote on the military creation act that much more important. But, I can see where the scene is unnecessary. Everything that is explained in the scene is re-explained in the scene in Palpatine's Office. I just like the scene and feel that it belongs in the movie.
