As I mentioned in a PM, upscaled and "processed" versions of the deleted scenes would be invaluable for fanedits as well.
If I ever manage to tackle editing the prequels in HD, I'd love to use this as my source material.
Check your PMs.
PM sent. As I said there, AEMovieguy's edit of Episode 3 preserves the twin surprise in ROTJ, making it a good choice for viewing Star Wars in the 'machete order.'
I wouldn't mind seeing AEMovieguy's Episode III edit.
*prettyplease*
Plinkett put up a teeny tiny review of Star Track: Into Darkness!

So GL jotted down half a napkin's worth of notes. It's minimal influence over the films.

Followed by a frownie face as he remembers his planet got destroyed by the Death Star in the previous movie.

Huh. Well, that's less than stellar. (....that's.... that's a joke.)
Anyway, at least the ending would prevent the next movie from being called 'Star Trek Back 2 Life' and involve Kirk haunting Uhura and they have to go to the Revelation planet to find his body and reunite him with his... ghost essence.
Then time travel to 2017 to get turtles to talk to space.
I think the 3.0 thing came up when Harmy linked to the PDE thread from two years ago about the "rontoscoping" term. After that post in that older thread, there was talk about a 3.0 of the "partly" despecialized edition. I saw a post that I made where I mention a version 3.0 (in early 2011) and was confused until I saw it was the PDE thread.

Since October, I just figured, "What have we got to lose?"
The current plan is to open The Hobbit standalone film with "modern day" Bilbo beginning his memoirs. We never see his face, and he narrates to us his "concerning hobbits" section. But that's two years off yet.
As always, we love suggestions or ideas.
We've been working on them, and are mostly finished with FOTR and TTT. We're holding out for the EE of An Unexpected Journey to see if there will be any helpful Narsil footage.
It's progressing, and I think the result will be much better than my previous attempts. This is Kerr we're talking about, after all. Kerr is doing all of the actual editing this time, for which I am very thankful. I'm serving in a creative consultant role. These versions will be, in many ways, less puristy than either my or his previous edits. But I think the story that will be told in these edits will be better off for it. FOTR is shaping up to be around 3 hours.
The real fun will begin when all three hobbit films are out, and we try to pair them down to a single purist-minded edit of comporable running time to a single LOTR film.
Starting with FOTR, it will likely be close to the end of the year before these will be released, due to waiting for AUJ:EE.
That, and it seems like we always have new ideas after we take a break and return to the task. If we just put these out months ago, they wouldn't have been as good.
Just wanted to throw my two cents onto the congratulations pile.
Even just flipping through v. 2.1 it is obvious that it is superior even to v. 2.0. Mos Eisley looks fantastic, and the whole film looks unbelievably seamless. I'd never have guessed OT.com could have come this close to presenting the film like this.
Tremendous work! It really comes across as if Lucasfilm remastered the original version to a high standard and then only released it over Netflix at 720p. (That's meant as a compliment.)
Are you planning to give all of the prequel footage this treatment, for potential use in fan edits? (As opposed to cutting the film, then only working on the bits you keep.)
If Shatner doesn't approve, do you think they'll still let J.J. Abrams direct Star Wars VII: The Creeping Fear?
One of my threads is on the list. I approve of this thread. Not just that part, but all of it.
She's my mother!
I think I need to go pray.

Founder of the LDS Church Joseph Smith.
I know that Christianity at large (though a very wide spread) has differing opinions about Darwinian evolution. Some insist that it has no place, others are willing to integrate it.
Does the LDS Church have an official position on evolution, or a majority voice?
