I followed that site's PT edit because it was (ambitiously) trying to rotoscope Jar Jar out of many scenes. I left because the edit I saw was incomprehensible and, as stated, the editor did not take constructive criticism well. I, myself, am not an editor, but it seemed he had technical skill, but was severely lacking in the storytelling department.

[MENTION=13347]Moe_Syzlak[/MENTION], I also just read that whole pointless thread. Seems the guy had an edit with a unanimously bad narrative, which is, barring nothing else, the single most important component of any work of fiction. Good looking effects and video are icing, but a good narratives the cake. I can't judge it because I didn't watch the edit, and it does seem to be an over reaction for him to leave that site completely.

He should certainly have been more political to keep the mods/admin happy. I myself was asked to remove an edit recently for technical (not narrative) reasons, so I tossed it, but learned a lesson from this --not releasing anything SD again and only working off blurays from now, to keep the technical folks happy while I get to go on making (hopefully) good narratives; not throw a tantrum and lose your audience (who are the most important folks on these sites). Worst thing was all the people who were giving him genuinely good feedback and encouragement throughout on how to improve the story, who he referred to as presumptuous and rude, before leaving. Not professional

Yes; releasing in SD should not, in and of itself, cause technical issues.

Oh I know, and totally agree. I grew up with vhs, and appreciated the films on them for their content. I just have had too many problems with them on here, personal experience. I've had reviews ripping apart the audio video quality of an edit rather than the actual narrative, which is all I care about. Trying to tune up an SD source to look appealing yet still subpar and have it distract people from what actually matters (the story) is something I don't want to deal with and annoys me because I can't fix it, so, I'm using blu rays only now just so I don't have to hear about that stuff and let the narrative be judged on its merits instead of the technical crap.

The technical crap is important to this site, and almost always solvable with some effort. Two of my three edits were done in SD and I don't really see how SD presents more challenges than HD.

Regardless, we're way off topic.

No more Orci = Awesome.

Possibly of Edgar Wright directing = Awesome x 10000000!

Joe Cornish is being mentioned again to direct. That'd be cool too. He and partner Adam Buxton did write their own Star Trek music back in the day :D...

Well isn't this nice. My favourite Film-Fanatic-YouTuber 'Ollie Harper' has made a TPM retrospective video in time for the 35thAnniversary :)...

I have no idea who Bob Orci is, and I guess now I don't need to go Google him.

Aye, great video review! I'll have to give the rest of that guy's channel a look. That said, despite his appreciation for TPM, it's still a movie I have no intention of ever revisiting. :p

Another Paul Shipper work:

Reminds me of this classic TNG painting, which, weirdly, I can't find a larger version of online at the moment:

It looks to me like the terrible Star Wars DVD covers.
