I was about to point out that smudger9 is already doing something like this, but I opened the thread and it was you.
[Obi-Wan ignites lightsaber, raises it. Interrupted. "Oh, it's 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?

^Or that could replace the "Nooooo."
And the metal part that covers part of the side-blades could prevent the weilder's own hands from slipping and getting sliced.
I speculate that Max Von Sydow is playing an elderly, partially robotic Ric Olié.
By all accounts, the Topher Grace cut wouldn't beat some of the 3-in-1 edits you can actually see. It retains Threepio's head switcheroo in AOTC.
I'm skeptical of attempts to do a 3-in-1. Part of the point of the prequels' existence is to fill out the missing Episode #s. If not a trilogy, why bother watching at all?
Can be a little abrasive to noobs, but no.

IMHO there isn't anything in it that I would consider a spoiler.
Seems like the film will indeed feel very much like JJ's style, Star Trek '09-ish. Which is fine with me; I enjoyed that film for how Star Wars-like it was.
The soccer ball droid was a little weird, as was the red lightsaber. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the 'big three,' but that's all right.
I said from the beginning that I am hoping for a movie about as good as Trek '09 and/or ROTJ.
