Star Wars Phantom Menace 1.1 Editor Speaks
guinnessy writes "Studio 360 interviews the person who carried out Phantom Edit 1.1. You can listen to the interview here if you have Real Audio. It's quite interesting and explains why he hated Jar Jar Binks so much and what he did."
to explain why someone would hate Jar Jar so much? I figured most people over ~12 would understand his feelings completely.
Yes, it's being renamed "Attack of the Trolls." Look for it to feature many Slashdot regulars as extras.
than episode 1?
Not Jar Jar again, but Jon Katz.

I believe that I speak for all Star Wars fans... or make that even all humans... when I state that Jar Jar Binks must be destroyed.
Alright, perhaps that was a tad harsh. But what is the value to the character -- he is racially offensive, disrupts all possible dark and intelligent tones to the movie and, lest I forget to mention, quite possibly the most annoying character not portrayed by Pauly Shore or Carrot Top ever witnessed in a movie.
Now, this is just my personal opinion. But Mr. Lucas, with all due respect, what on earth were you smoking?
And one more thing! Didn't they learn their lesson from the Ewoks? Jar Jar = the Ewoks to the nth degree.

That's because everyone knows that mp3 and ogg are only used for violating intellectual property rights ;-)
which highlights JarJar's zany antics and removes the parts that advance the story. I call it the JarJar Yes-Pleasy-Yessir Phantom Meesa-Likie-Likie Edit.
Yeah, here's the transcription:
Studio360: So you did that phantom edit thing?
PhantomEditor: Yeah.
S360: How come?
PE: TPM was lame. Lucas is a capitalist dog. I made it seem like Anakin is more badass and less of a tool and I took out all of the Jar-Jar CG bullshit.
S360: How did it get so big?
PE: Internet.
S360: Has George Lucas seen it?
PE: He wanted to, but his legaltroids made him say he wouldn't. He should tho, cuz it's 31337.
Yeah, go to link you suggest (chump), pull down menu "OS", go to select "OS X" - what, it's not there!
Ya, just like 95% of the rest of software out there. Even so, you could run the OS9 version through the fucking emulator you idiot.
Or perhaps we should chew your food for you and wipe your ass too?
Don't bother to respond; someone as clueless or self-indulgent as you is very unlikely to have anything useful or interesting to contribute here.
This is not a troll, it is a perfectly reasonable response to a perfectly useless posting. "dangermouse" could have invested the ame effort into getting an answer as they did whining about not knowing and for somebody to puhlease spoonfeed them.
I don't read ACs: If a post isn't worth so much as a nom de plume to its author then I wont bother either.
I think Jar Jar should be ground into pod racer fuel in the next episode
Haven't you heard?
Jar-Jar becomes Boba Fett in Ep2
So... a spyware free version of kazaa...
interview with the phantom editor...
All in the same day?!
muahahahah!
No problem. The Slashdot editors transcripted it themselves, and have it in this nice universal Word 2000 doc file. Enjoy it.
> Anakin's flitting slave-owner is supposed to be vaguely eastern European / Jewish, near as I can tell (accented, haggles over money, big nose -- I mean, Jesus Christ!).
Yeah, but Jesus Christ is rarely portrayed with a big nose, despite the stereotypes.
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
> However, you are correct that changing the name of The Two Towers would be about as absurd as you can get. How is all this related to Jar Jar?
Obviously, you haven't seen the anatomically correct Jar-Jar action figure.
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
If only the terrorists had called it 'opperation jar jar' or something, to make jar jar 'emotionaly resonate' or whatever.
autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
He even said so in this month's Issue of Maxim.
God, what was he doing in Maxim?
"If you thought that Angelina Jolie was hot, check out this month's interview with George Lucas! Fat, unkempt, reclusive, and very authoritarian, George was a promising young auteur until he decided instead to focus his career on revenge. Some of his works from that period are now considered classics, but George is not deterred. He has recut this strangely-revered pulp, proving once and for all that his love affair with film ended a long time ago.
"Today, George is churning out new pre-teen cartoons with machine-like efficiency and has established the distribution network to send them far, far away. He is truly 'the Force' to be reckoned with in mass-marketing, intellectual property law, and digital rights management. We are pleased that George allowed us to help him self-promote his new cartoon, Attack of the Clones!"
"Where am I?" asks Leonard.
Looks at a polaroid of Jar-Jar.
Which reads, "He is the one. Kill him".
"Oh yeah."
