   This sounds insane. Not too sure about the editor, either. I’ve never seen an edit that comes with a massive FAQ to explain what it is!

   On that basis, I will probably download it and come back here with some thoughts on it sometime!

   Actually, I…am undecided now, leaning towards not bothering. I see that it’s almost 8 GB (far too much downloading for something so ambiguous) and after looking through that FAQ, there were some things that kinda bothered me, including almost the entire ‘trivia’ section and the fact that you encourage people to burn it and sell it? Joke or not (I can’t tell), I don’t think that’s cool to say anywhere/anytime fanedits are involved. Sorry, but that’s just how I see it.

   Sorry for another post (I would edit the last one if it were possible), but just wanted to say that I have been assured the selling thing was a joke. Don’t want anything misinterpreted.

   Hello, just learned about your comments. I don’t mind if you don’t consider ‘Thee Backslacpkping With Media’ a fan edit. As I explained in my introduction e-mail, this project shares some of the same philosophies of the fan edit community, but as you’ll see if you watch some, it differs in dedication, goals and construction.

   Another thing which differs from the rest of this site, is you can watch the whole thing from the website. As i’ve recommended, don’t feel you have to watch the whole thing, read through the chapter titles and if one sounds interesting, try it out. If you want to take the slow approach, there is a chapter a week option so that if you watch one chapter a week for the next year, you’ll be all set for the 5th anniversary of RotS.

   Which Trivia tid-bit bothered you? The Trivia section was created to help clarify or explain comments which we’re presented in those certain clips. When people talk about ‘Star Wars’ they often are discussing other aspects of society, and as the trivia section mentions, some Odd things come up.

   Thanks for reading some of the FAQ, you’re the first person to mention the Trivia section, THANKs!

   To clarify, when I say dedication, I mean dedication to the ‘Public Domain’. My internal assurance system informs me to divulge this info. But really, if you are interested there are two reviews of this project which might give you a better sense of what your getting into. One by a member of this forum, another by someone on the outside:

   I probably will be getting this one. I wasn’t aware of the OT.com thread (I have asked a question about the audio there that might be good to mention here) and people like Bingowings have convinced me it’s worth getting.

   The guy took a bunch of cool shows and cut them into tiny 3-10 second pieces and mashed them together.
   Why?!
   Dude, make a DVD of the shows in their entirety.
   For completists only.

   A. the original pieces were cut-up to identify individual issues which were common over multiple broadcasts. For instance no program at that time spent all their time discussing if George Lucas plans on making a 7,8,9. But 10-15 programs did causually mention this topic during the course of discussing the final Star Wars installment. ‘Thee Backslacpkping With Media’ was created to identify these themes and memes and to investigate what people said about each of the chapters topics. With the hopes that one day some computer program/website could produce a similarly searchable program on any topic.
   B. If you’d like the complete catalog of programming, it can be provided. I would guess it is about 40-50 single layer dvds of material. Your the first person to ask, so if you want it to happen get some friends to also want it. Or send me a 500 GB harddrive and it’s all yours.
   C. And most of these 700+ programs do not fall into the cool category.

   It’s a large download that and the artwork and description seem to be putting people off from giving this mammoth undertaking the chance it deserves.

   Basically it takes the entire media hurricane surrounding the release of Revenge Of The Sith and funnels it through your television screen into your brain in themed chapters.
   It’s astonishing the amount of crazy, bonkers stuff will grab your optic nerve when you pop this into your player.

   Not so much a documentary but more a pop art installation on a DVD.
   Not so much a fan edit but more like being shot at by a video machine gun loaded with Episode 3 tooled shells.

   Not everyone will like the sound of that and if you don’t it’s possibly not for you.

   But if being a caught in None’s Star Wars cross-hair sounds like your thing you are in for a genuinely bizarre and rewarding treat.

   The nature of the beast means the sound and visual quality varies from crisp to zoomed Youtube clips but that adds to the fun (some people may find this impossible to watch in one sitting and may work through it a few chapters at a time, not me I watched with headphones on couldn’t pull my eyes away from it).

   Clearly this is a labour of love.
   So go on give it a try and if you don’t love it put the blame on me.

    I finished watching this over a span of two days and I’m impressed! It shows a mind numbingly massive amount of work in every respect. Some laughs, some meh moments, but all interesting. I give this 8/10.

    Hey! Thanks, Ripplin, for getting back to the project, great timing as the 5 year anniversary is a month away. I’ve been curious since your initial posts, what you found so bothersome about the Entire “Trivia” section. And now that you’ve watch it does any of that Trivia still bother you? I ask because there are a few which I find troublesome and no one’s brought it up. (oh and what’d you find ‘meh’?)

    and hey Bingowings, don’t go taking blame away from me. Blame is fine to give just give some good reasons. But I think it’ll be hard to beat this guy:

    “This is utterly unwatchable. I feels like the creator of this DVD just learned Final Cut Pro and thinks more editing = good editing. It’s the worst kind of ADD cutting. I watched about 3 minutes before shutting it off and throwing the disc away. Avoid.”

    If you’re new, you can now step into any chapter through the new online video page:

    As always the FAQ is constantly being updated:

    This is an incredibly hard fan edit to review. The very nature of it almost defies a normal critique. It is fascinating and perplexing all at once. Watching it, I couldn’t help but be reminded of a Max Headroom blipvert. Rather than watching it a bit at a time, I watched it all in one go, drowning in the media tsunami that None has assembled.

    There is one downside to the presentation though. Put together as it is (small pieces of hundreds of sources) the viewer inevitably has the desire to stop and explore a particular aspect in greater detail. Obviously, this is next to impossible given the limitations of DVD technology, but I have to mention it because it was the strongest feeling I had when watching. “Hey, I wanted to hear what they said next!”

    Still a phenomenal compilation, and as I said before…fascinating.

    In france switching TV channels over and over is called zapping.
    This is a giant zapping covering all Star Wars related stufs on TV, internet etc… in 2005. So mostly episode 3.
    Personaly I found the editing smart enough to be watch all in one go (well i watched it in two parts I must confess). It forms a whole.
    This was a cool experience, maybe not for everyone but great fun.
    It worths a try.
