Did he not participate to a degree in the editing of the first film?
you haters made him quit.
I don’t think that’s true is it.
Editing, as with many things, is something that George was very good at once. His original cut of THX-1138 is one of the best edited films there is IMO. Of course he went back and ruined it many years after. I don’t see any evidence of those skills in AOTC.
I know there’s a good editor in him, he’s only forgotten. The prequels haven’t driven it from him fully.
