My honey and I were not all that entranced by the film he used to call "The Phantom Blemish" (a term lifted from "Computer Gaming World", who said the game was somehow *worse* than the film). However, he recently found out that someone with a lot of time, money, and high tech equipment and software has expended a great deal of energy to try and make the film a little more palatable by creatively editing the character of Jar-Jar Binks. Evidentally, they have taken out many scenes with him, and recreated others that they kept in. The ones remaining have Jar-Jar speaking in an alien language with subtitles. The dialogue is supposed to make Jar-Jar more of an intelligent mystic than the bumbling stereo-type that Mr. Lucas foisted upon his audience.

I am not normally for the unauthorized use or alteration of others intellectual property, but I have to admit I am *really* curious here.

Has anyone seen or heard of this???
