Wow, what asshats. I don't feel insulted; I'm embarrassed for them.

Ady, Makingstarwars.net just ripped into you on their latest podcast.
Can you say more? I don't want to have to wade through the episode.
ALLOL
I'll probably go with, "Silence, laborers." It's not derogatory per se, but implies something about this insect world's class system. The "scum" idea isn't bad, but it'd be nice to have something different.
And hey, I'll take suggestions until it's time to mash the button.
Something like slaves, peons, workers, laborers, etc. would work. I like the idea that he's addressing them in a derogatory way.
Fixed! It seems like I forgot to apply that 3% zoom to two clips for V2. I do not hear anything wrong with the audio, though. The landing platform scene is 100% a DVD deleted scene, and none of it was originally in the film. (At least it wasn't a glitch per se, and had a known cause.)
CAPTION CONTEST! Whoever suggests the best subtitle before it's time to hit 'encode' wins. Subtitle to beat is "Silence, infidels." Original is "Settle down, settle down."
Huh. I had to zoom in on the deleted scenes by 3% anyway, so I'll see if that doesn't need to be increased slightly. Weird. Is the audio glutch at the point the scene changes? I'll check on it tonight.
And do you have an alternate suggestion for the subtitle? "Settle down, settle down" is lame.
Thanks for the feedback, especially about A/V glitches. I'll check on them for sure. Can you post a screencap of what you mean?
The trial scene is gone in V3 for the reasons you described, and scenes reordered to accommodate the change.
The "infidel" subtitle is an homage to MagnoliaFan's edit, because I found it so funny.

I was about to point out that smudger9 is already doing something like this, but I opened the thread and it was you.

Well, a few things I removed for Sharkey's Edition are reinstated, including more Arwen stuff in TTT along with Aragorn being separated from the pack. Kerr has done some great stuff for ROTK, including use of the palantir. He and I have been keeping these things under wraps and collaborating together, so I don't want to spill too many beans. The most concise thing I can say is that while it is less strictly "purist" than our former efforts, it's still respectful of the books and of the original films themselves.
I have to see this film, but I really don't want to. I was young at the time of the prequels, but now I feel the pain.
About that. As always, we'll see.
Just waiting on a small FX project from someone and I can begin encoding. The first torrent should appear in two weeks, with the rest trickling through as they are encoded.
Really? So, for example, the air taxi scene from the TPM DVD was from a different source than the rest of the BluRay?
That's the idea. It should be something a Tolkien fan would enjoy and appreciate, especially compared to how the Hobbit "trilogy" turned out. Like stomping on your foot to relieve a toothache.
Well, they'll all be based on the BluRays, so it'll be ~24fps for sure.
Kerr has things laid out and in place for the most part, and it'll be out sometime after BoFA:EE. And Sharkey's is still kicking around torrent sites.
Well the project has evolved as its gone on. Its not really "Sharkey's" edit since Kerr is doing the actual editing this time, with me more as a consultant. While we both have a deap-seated admiration for Tolkien's work, this project won't be *as* purist-minded.
I'm not sure how they'll be distributed, but there certainly will be a dlc file at fanedit.info for them.
As far as the existing Sharkey's edits, a little bit of searching on the internet should yield them.

Anakin appearing young as a force ghost is "explained." I guess this guy doesn't realize that Anakin didn't die as a "wicked old man" considering he just saved his son from death.
Dave Filoni had to be tactful in expressing opinion about the altered force ghost in ROTJ. It's no secret it's loathed by most. Filoni is the cartoon version of Rick McCallum.
He'll always be "Frank" to me. ("I must be Frank, Your Majesty...")

Almost any PT edit will rattle its continuity with EU material. A radical edit like Adywan's all the moreso.
For my own prequel edits, I need to occasionally remember slight differences when I read novels. In Luceno's "Dark Lord," Bail Organa's wife takes care of Leia, since Padme had died in childbirth. Because my edit of Ep3 has her survive to raise Padme on Alderaan, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the book. It doesn't align perfectly with my edit, but I have no problem acknowledging this as I read and enjoy it. (Just hope future episodic films don't directly reference Padme's death on the operating table.)
Very good!
Quick idea, and I don't know if it'll fit what you're already doing: When Palpatine (sorry, "Sheev") asks, "Remember what you told me about your mother, and the Sand People?" have a title card saying something to the effect of "Scene Missing."
And while I'm thinking about it, might some oblique reference to the name "Sheev" be worked in somewhere?
