S.S's day of editing:
/////////SS.com Review of Revenge of the Sith: It’s 7:37A.M. in California and the Revenge of the Sith film is rolling in the private screening room at Skywalker Ranch. In attendance are SS, George Lucas and a few dozen ILM employees. This movie rocks from the very beginning. The space battle over Coruscant is more spectacular than any battle we have ever seen in space before. This is the real deal. It’s perfect in so many ways. The only problems I have with the film are a few slow boring expositional scenes that can be trimmed from the film.
Let’s get right down to it. Revenge of the Sith is the kind of Star Wars film we’ve been waiting over 20 years for. This latest installment in the saga is action packed. Much more action than any other Star Wars film. Highlights: Various light-saber duels, Coruscant space battle, Kashyyyk Battle and more. Lowlifes: The slow, boring talking scenes needed to advance the plot.
The current running time of Revenge of the Sith is 2 hours and 53 minutes. Lucas wants at least 31 minutes removed to create the final edit of the film. I make a list of what scenes can be taken out all together or ones that can just be shortened. I try to convince Lucas that most fans want Revenge of the Sith to be close to three hours in length like the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, but Lucas doesn’t agree with me. Lucas believes that a movie should never be much more than 2 hours in length.
Lucas says that any scene omitted from the movie could be added to the Revenge of the Sith DVD as a deleted-scene content. Lucas and I will really be butting heads on what can be left out of the film. I want all slow and boring scenes out of the movie unless these scenes reveal details about the history of the Sith or Jedi. Lucas believes that slow scenes that advance the plot can be kept in. However, these scenes have to be greatly shortened.
Lucas and I create a list of scenes showing which boring scenes can be eliminated or shortened. We both create lists of what action sequences could be made longer and more intense. After many hours and arguments of pushing and pulling, we decided which scenes to keep, which ones to modify and which ones to cut from the final edit of the film
In the end, Lucas went with my ideas to extend the light-saber battles a few seconds in length and lengthen the battles in other areas of the movie. Also Lucas decided to keep many more boring scenes than I had suggested. After making these changes, the film is now about 2 hours and 24 minutes in length. Almost perfect. I’m exhausted after all this work. So George Lucas and I go out on the town tonight in his chauffeur driven Rolls Royce. We go to Lucas’ fave watering holes and drink a lot of fancy wines and expensive drinks I’ve never heard of. The worst part about hanging out with Lucas is his incessant talking about his family. Lucas talks for hours about how great his kids are.
Lucas is certain that Jett will become a star quarterback for the Southern Cal Trojans. Lucas also talks about what a great wine maker he is and how successful he is at the business of wine bottling and selling. Lucas never lets you speak and he is constantly changing the subject to the good ol’ days when him and Steven Spielberg created massively successful films with tiny film budgets. By the end of the night, I’m ready for bed and Lucas tells me I can stay at his guest house at his mansion estate or I can stay at one of the guest cottages at Skywalker Ranch. I pick the guest cottage at the Ranch because it would mean I would be miles away from Lucas and he would be less likely to wake me up to tell what great ideas came to him while sleeping. My first day at Skywalker Ranch ends and do I ever sleep very, very deeply. /////////////
I think I'm going to puke 😘
He said he was going to give us a "review" of Rots. Instead he just types a page of complete nothing. How can this guy doup people anymore? He lies to them he is going to give them a review, and instead he types a page about a bunch of shit about Lucas making Wine, and his son playing quarterback for USC. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!

Doh ... !
I went to his site for a long time and finally realized this guy is a fraud when he started talking about how GL is going to let "him" film Starwars 7,8,9! Went on the site the other day and he was talking about how episode 7 takes place 30 years after episode 6 and how he was going to use Harrison, Mark, and Carrie because in episode 7 their suppose to be old! So I was played like a fool along with everyone else that goes to that retared @$$ website!

From starwars.com:
At the end of the journey, George Lucas has come full circle, returning to where it began over a generation ago. Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, just outside of London, serves as the shooting location for a single day of additional photography. The world-famous stages hosted the majority of the studio-based principal photography for the original Star Wars trilogy.We're on Stage 8 on the morning of Monday, January 31. It's a featureless redbrick building just down the road from the George Lucas Stage, the newer structure commemorating the director that brought so many blockbusters to Elstree. A stage the size of the eponymous building isn't required, but JAK Productions does maintain an office in the George Lucas Stage.
Hmm...Which site is to be believed? But then, SS is a close, personal friend of George Lucas, so starwars.com is obviously pulling a fast one on us... 🙄
