      They will be judged by George Lucas on their potential for the addition of Jar Jar Binks
      Forget it, Star Wars Kid has this one in the basket. I'm sure more people saw that than saw the Jar Jar movies.

    Leia: "I love you!"
    Han: "I love you too."

    Most of us have absolutely no qualifications whatsoever in production of art of any kind. But I reckon we can still produce something to blow this paticular judge over. Then again, that six year old with the Jar-Jar crayon animation (0.2fps) has a pretty solid product.

  3. Remake Episode One - THAT should be the challenge by QuatermassX · · Score: 2, Insightful

    George should commission someone to totally recut and / or remake The Phantom Menace. Rather than expand the universe, perfect that first film. Amid some rather pretty scenery and effect, there are soooooo many cringe-worthy performances and moments.

    Think The Phantom Edit - only more radical.

    And for the love of The Force, get Portman to re-loop her lines.

    Or perhaps he should turn over ALL the raw footage for Revenge of the Sith so a real editor can cut that film together properly. Let's all fire up FinalCutPro and have at it!

    Sorry Ben - you're a damn good sound designer and a Friend of George, but ... your editing powers are WEAK old man.
