In June, 2009, Anti-Matter released his first fanedit title, Star Wars Prologue. It was the first documented and verified Star Wars prequel trilogy edit ever published into the fanedit community. A few individuals had tried (e.g., Star Wars Reborn), and many others did plenty of talking, posturing and promising, but not much else. There were also fanedit fraudsters who moved in quickly to rip off Anti-Matter's rotoscoping shots and scene revisions, passing off the work as their own creations (e.g., Star Wars Episode I-III: A New Beginning). Considering that the Prologue is what fanedit.org negatively terms a "firstling" effort, I'd have to say that Anti-Matter's introductory contribution to the fanedit community was nothing short of miraculous.
There are so many entertaining things in this paragraph alone, but I wanted to highlight the bolded one.
Thank you, Anti-Matter, for showing everyone how to do a prequel trilogy edit way back in 2009. Furthermore, thank you for sending it to the Official Bureau of Fanedit Documentation and Verification for documentation and verification of the first ever prequel trilogy edit to be released before several other prequel trilogy edits that were released prior to June 2009 and yet somehow were released after Prologue.
Bravo!
UPDATE 8/22/11:
After a few comments left on the article's page, the author has revised as follows:
In June, 2009, Anti-Matter released his first fanedit title, Star Wars Prologue. Following several lackluster 3-in-1 cuts, it was the first critically-received Star Wars prequel trilogy edit published into the fanedit community, sparking almost instant, insolent condemnation from competing fanedit websites that continues to this day.
Even sillier!
