Seeing the Saga in order - a review by a first-time viewer....

Godfather II did it to perfection as it mirrored flashbacks all through the movie of young Vito Corleone and how he came to power, and it never made you look at Godfather I in a different way, cause Coppola released a recut version in 1977 of everything in chronological order, and it just didn't work. The problem with the SW saga is it didn't make the backstory a true backstory like Godfather II to begin with to fall back on when the chronological order didn't work.
Hense why we have the SW: Reborn project.

The end of ROTS is a perfect example of putting in plot points to appease the OT fans. If Lucas wanted to make a compelling 1-6 story, Anakin should have been left burning on Mustafar, and never seen again til he breaks down the door in ANH at the beginning. That way the whole OT you are watching it wondering who this Vader guy, holy shit, it is Anakin! He survived!!! Now there would have to be some dialogue changes in ANH by Kenobi to compliment the linear storytelling, but if Lucas truly wanted the story to be watched in 1-6 fashion, the ending of ROTS would be totally different.

Now that would be a cool fanedit to do!

<strong>The &quot;EditDroid&quot; Trilogy DVD Info and Feedback Thread</strong> (Released)

Actually, Kaine, I think the set that's being discussed is the set of supplementary discs to accompany the original EditDroid trilogy set, which has been making the rounds for quite a long time now.


Which unfortunately has no seeders left on myspleen too.

Once this supplemental disc makes the rounds I'll have to check this out, it sounds great!

Actually I wasn't talking about our mutual friend Russs. Though I hear JB is very busy organising things for 'Celebration Europe' having visited the Toy Fair in London last week and met up with a certain official Lucasfilm employee.

The Lucasfilm employee I am talking about is Mr Sansweet as you've probably guessed. I just hope that Lucasfilm understand what these projects are about. They are about a genuine love and affection for the films and a totally respect for the people involved in making them, nothing else. They are not about making money or infriging anyone's rights. If the day ever came where I was asked to cease making such projects, I would do it in a flash. I recently read a French forum discussing my projects and whether they were piracy or not. One person suggested that it was no more harmful that someone producing a fanzine or fan website.

hell, think of it also as a learning process to those involved as well.

Star Wars: Deleted Magic (Released)
Time
Since watching RtJ I had a thought. Who here (if anyone) is still seeding this on myspleen? I'm just wondering since with the success and word of mouth on Jedi, and the buildup for Empire, we should get DM out to the masses more on demonoid, piratebay, etc, if anyone is willing to spread it about. If one of the seeders over at the spleen is a member here, would you be able to cross-torrent it? Or if anything I'll even redownload it, and perhaps take out the extra items (rough scrpits and movie clips) and replace them with the covers and torrent it (once I figure how).

Though most of us here don't get along with OCP, I'd say leave DM as it is. It is amazing and is the inspiration for JD's Empire and Jedi projects but unless there's substantial enough footage and lost info to warrant a better release, I'd let DM lie.
