Star Wars Episode II: The Approaching Storm (Released)
Time

I actually cared about the love between Padme and Anakin, which was no easy feat my friend. None of the other edits came close. Thank you!

I only picked up on a few things:

1- the opening crawl seemed off as far as timing and fade out. Usually they fade into the distance but they were visible on screen and then suddenly gone when it panned down. 

2- some of the scenes (the deleted ones that were added back in mostly) were of pretty poor quality some of the time, especially the first Senate scene and on Geonosis. The Naboo ones seemed fine, though. Was this because I watched the DVD5 version instead of the 720 or 1080? 

In any case, I really enjoyed it, which is really saying something considering the source material. Thanks again and I'm looking forward to Ep III tonight.

Just like he has been trying to do with the OOT and exactly why a fan documentary should include her. 

A fan documentary works with what they are given. Since she never recorded any interviews or bonus features, Jamie would have to find Marcia himself and interview her. Which isn't a bad idea... ;-)

Here's her story. Very sad.

 I read that story some time ago and it was the impetus for my initial post in this thread. Sad indeed. But it looks like the author of this story was able to get a few lines here and there so I was surprised that there wasn't even a mention. But even with that, it was a great documentary. Kudos to Jambe for it!

I finally downloaded this and watched it last night. It was enjoyable from beginning to end! Well done!

I have one small beef- the complete lack of Marcia Lucas. Any particular reason nothing was included from her? I didn't notice at first but then I noticed you had a quote from Richard Chew. Odd that you would include him but not Marcia. Why is she consistently left out of behind the scenes, documentaries, etc. about Star Wars? She was the main editor and won an Oscar for it. 

That said, it is still enjoyable. I especially liked the way you had it play through just like the film itself. Thanks for your hard work on this!

Doc Watson- St. James Hospital

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=224Sy5PcmU4

This is my favorite rendition of St. James Infirmary/ Streets of Laredo/ Unfortunate Rake. It goes by many names but it is the story of a Cowboy or soldier (depending on the version) in the last minutes of his life.

Early one morning, past the St. James Hospital


Early one morning, morn in the month of May
When I looked through the window, 
And I spied a dear cowboy
A dear cowboy, as cold as the clay

Set ye down by me, and hear my sad story
Set ye down by me, and sing me a song
For my poor head is aching,
And my sad heart is breaking
I'm a poor cowboy, that know'd he done wrong

Send for that doctor, to come and heal up my body
And send for the preacher, to come and pray for my soul
For my poor head is aching,
And my sad heart is breaking
I'm a poor cowboy, and hell is my doom

Get sixteen pretty maidens, to come and carry my coffin
Sixteen pretty maidens, to come and sing me a song
And tell 'em to bring some of them sweet smelling roses
So they can't smell me as they tote me along

Beat the drum slowly, and play the fife lowly
Play the death march as ye carry me along
Throw bunches of lillies all over my coffin
"There goes a poor cowboy, that know'd he done wrong."
