Topher Grace Screens Star Wars Prequel Re-edit 192
silentbrad writes "/Film (as well as IGN and A.V. Club) reports about Topher Grace's fan re-edit of the Star Wars prequel trilogy into a single, 85-minute film titled Star Wars: Episode III.5: The Editor Strikes Back.' Quoting /Film: 'His idea was to edit the Star Wars prequels into one movie, as they would provide him a lot of footage to work with. He used footage from all three prequels, a couple cuts from the original trilogy, some music from The Clone Wars television series, and even a dialogue bit from Anthony Daniels' (C-3PO) audio book recordings. He even created a new opening text crawl to set up his version of the story.' It continues with what stayed and what was cut. It's just too bad it was a one-time-only screening."

He also seems to want to favor storytelling over merchandising, which is a strange and unusual concept.

Interesting concept... could never happen for legal reasons... but I'd be intrigued if people could "cut n' paste" scenes from OTHER films into a meaningfull order to make it look like another star wars film.
For example- Take Ford from the Tom Clancy Films- and Indiana Jones; cut and paste them together- with a few special affects and make it look like episode 7.
C3P0 could be in episode 7- just rip scenes of Rex from "Yo Gabba Gabba". Mark Hamil has been in so many block buster films since Star Wars- should be easy to get footage of him to use.

Separate, boring they are.
Together, one good movie it would be.
Nah, just cut all three movies together as one. I think the best cut would be about 136 minutes long [imdb.com].

Sure you can... ... although admittedly Episode 4 would be a little strange without the Luke character appearing in it at all.

As long as everyone is OK with a land speeder that looks like a Corvette.

The editing done by Topher Grace is typically referred to as "Polishing A Turd".

This isn't really what your Mother and I had in mind, when you decided to stay here at home.
Dumbass. No wonder Donna dumped you on your sorry butt and left for Madison without looking back.

Sounds like the perfect man. Do you have any other praise, or can you just pass me contact details?

Yeah. That movie would have been better if it was about the length of a trailer inserted into the middle of another movie.

Really? Humans as 'batteries' makes sense? Not merely sucking out energy of those living, but actively feeding and breeding them?
