  1. Love this DVD, fantastic job. One question though, the DVD-ROM content didn’t come down in the download?? Anyone know where I can get it from? Thanks.

  2. I loved it as well, thought it was a great idea and executed very well. Also loved the artwork and how the three volumes come together. I also did not get the dvd rom extras and would love to have those as well.

  3. When I try to unpack the files it wants a password, anyone know what that might be? I am really wanting to see this so help would be appreciated.

  4. No dvd-rom content, but as for the rest… This is THE documentary on Empire! Wow! Just perfect!!! For those who still have problems with the password, it’s not fanedit.org but fanedited.com for this one… ;-)

  5. all links have been repaired. And the previews are not useless, but show the covers in a nice and tiny format. A little bit more respect for the work that is done here on this website would be appreciated. And this starts with the kind words you choose, when writing a comment. Thank you.

  9. Awesome Star Wars fanedit. Provides a nice look at the movie. 5 stars!

    Review by T-HOPE — January 12, 2009 @ 11:48 am

  10. An absolutely amazing piece of work and a must-have for any Star Wars fan, young or old!

    Review by kaine23 — April 12, 2009 @ 4:32 am

  11. What a great piece of work! The best fan-made documentary I have seen so far. I give this 10 Frinks out of 10.

    Review by TV's Frink — October 23, 2009 @ 11:45 pm

  12. This is an absolute MUST HAVE for any fan of the Star Wars series. I have shared it with many people, and even send it to some without asking/telling them about it. It’s just that good! You can really see the tremendous amount of work and care that went into it. We all appreciate this edit very much. (and thank OCP for starting the ball rolling with his excellent Deleted Magic edit, too!)

    This is a 10/10, which I don’t usually do. ;)

  13. I could have sworn I left a review for this ages ago…a big oversight by me, because this release deserves all the accolades it gets. If you call yourself a SW fan and are remotely interested in behind-the-scenes stuff, you WILL enjoy watching this. A must-have.
