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.
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.
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.

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.
