Let me just say that this site, and these re-edits, and the fact that peopel do them, and the people that do them, are all very, very cool.
YEARS ago, in the ancient days of the mid-'80s, when dinosaurs ruled the earth, I did a re-edit of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, shaving about 45 minutes out of it, which helped. The version on the new(ish) Director's Edition dvd well makes up for the fact that that old edit of mine no longer exists. This was before DVDs, in fact before digital anything. Well, okay, I bought my first cd thje same year (it was either ELO's "Out of the Blue" or Van Halen's "Diver Down"), and about 10 years before I would own my own computer, back when diskette's and Syquest discs were really cool. I'm just now getting to a point in terms of hardware and software where I'm able to look into doing re-edits again. I love movies and I love Star Wars. I was the only person I knew who knew about A New Hope before it came out, because I had a subscription to Starlog magazine. I saw it 7 times at the theatre, riding my bike five miles there and back every time, and it probably changed my life, or at least cemented me into alife of geekdom, just in case years of Star Trek reruns and Planet of the Apes movies hadn't already done that. I went to film school for a couple of years, with dreams of making Lord of the Rings movies. Peter Jackson seems to have taken care of that fairly well (though I'd still like to see a 40-hour BBC miniseries version!). Currently I work as a professional illustrator, graphic designer, and (mostly) as a comic book colorist. I'm currently looking into SiteGRinder as a way to design websites straight from Photoshop (with which I am a bit of wiz, if I may say so). I have a wife and two kids, and am trying to figure out how old they have to be to watch ANH...
Why all that? Well, I didn't want anyone to think I was just some greedy schlmeil off the streets when I say that I'd saw off a leg for DVDs of MagnoliaFan's latest versions of Balance of the Force and Clone War and...whatver else he has. Looks like he has ESB in the can (?). Either leg will do - I make a living sitting.
Some kind soul could PM me.
