I'm currently watching the Magnoliafan version of the Phantom Edit for Episode I on YouTube right now, and so far it's rather well done. I've also discovered the mother of fan edit sites, and look forward to watching more in the future.

That said,

1. Have you seen any versions of the Phantom Edit or other Star Wars film edits?

2. What do you think about them?

Yes. While they're interesting (and they go a long way to showing how a little editing can tweak up a film), there's really only so much you can do with slight edits (we're talking amateur editors working for free in their spare time after all).

The Prequels (esp. Episode I) are still pretty flawed.


I don't personally have a problem with people creating these things, since only a few fans will see them anyway. However I can understand the concerns of Lucas & co. because sadly these are often bootlegged and sold (usually not by the person who created them but still), illegally of course.
