Wow, sounds exciting!

You could include a section of regrets the fan editor had, be them from technical limits or whatever!

I really like the Ben-Hur style epic idea, with an overture and intermission. That might be another great edit idea.
It'd be interesting to observe a first-time viewer.

Awesome! Once you get good at it, it's really exciting. Adigitalman has a great how-to thread that covers all the bases:

Adigitalman's How-To

And for the record, once my edits are in the air, you and anyone are free to use any bits and pieces from it that you like. (I say this because mine borrows heavily from other edits, and because I encourage any spark of fan editing!)

No, but hopefully will in the future. My set was just completed last week, and the first set should be shipped off tomorrow!

But no, distribution plans are sketchy at present.

Wow, it's amazing how he can work that other footage into the movie. Especially Natalie Portman's stuff!
So does she have a lightsaber now or something?

I know of three fan edits that fix this problem:

Ocpmovie's Classic Edition
ADigitalMan's ROTJ and ROTJ 2.0
and
My own ROTJ edit, which borrows heavily from the above

Ocpmovie's version removed almost all of the Special Edition stuff, making it almost exactly like the original version.
Adigitalman's takes a more experimental route, with a custom ending and Jabba rock song.
Mine uses a lot of both, to get an OT/SE hybrid, without any other creative changes. (Btw, in Ocpmovie's edit, he fixes the pink and green lightsabers. Mine does too, borrowing from his work.)

Hope this helps!

I know of three:
There's Ocpmovie's Classic Edition, which is pretty much the original version restored in near-DVD quality. Stellar!
Then there's ADigitalMan's version, more free-form with two entirely NEW sequences he concocted himself. Sweet!
Then there's my version, which I just finished a while ago. A blend of OT and SE. http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=2666

No on both counts. If anyone has the audio, I'll save it and maybe use it if I ever have to re-edit any part of it.

This set of edits is drawing very close to being finished!

I just need clearance from a few more 'editors' who I borrowed some work from, and finish a few techincal difficulties with sound (#$*& %&# *$^ ^%#*!!!!) in TPM.

I'm very proud of the results, and have updated the original post with new information about the final changes I made, and other key information. This is looking up to be a fine edit.

Which would everyone say is the best set of covers for all six? I'm almost finished editing my version of the saga, and there's quite a lot more OT covers than PT covers.

George, or anyone else, wouldn't have destroyed the original negatives. They're the base for all further restoration or SE work, so they must exist, unaltered, somewhere at Skywalker Ranch. I feel like breaking in and snooping around for them. Anyone with me?

I thought I'd finished my Episode II edit. I had it burned to disc, and even deleted all the raw files from my computer. I was DONE, I promised myself.

Then I downloaded Attack of the Phantom. And I just HAD to re-edit Ep II all over again since there were some changes he made that I simply HAD to include in my version too! And a great, insightful commentary too.

Oh, no. Our worst fears have been realized.

I don't know about you all, but I *really* don't want Star Wars to turn into Star Trek...
My parents chose to name me Kirk. THIS IS TERRIBLE!

(Hopefully not... but a CG Star Wars TV show? Blech!)

By your own logic, if we're doing exactly what George Lucas is doing and you love him, why don't you like others editing as well?

I know it's far too late for this contest, but wanted to let everyone know that my edits should be completed shortly. II, III, IV, and V are done, and I'm working on I. I need to finish downloading ROTJ: CE first so I can use some material from it.

Would anyone with a copy be willing to pay it forward to me? I'm willing to do the same.
Thank you!

And, I actually really like this, Shaw's eyes are still blue in the unmasking scene. OC pasted the eyebrows back on, but left the recolored eyes recolored. This, to me, is ideal. Was this an intentional decision?
