EW Reports on Edits Needed for IMAX Clones Posted By Britany on October 2, 2002
As we reported a couple of weeks ago, (click here), the IMAX version of AOTC needs to be trimmed by around 23 minutes. Entertainment Weekly has posted a humorous article on the cuts needed. Here's an excerpt:
M'lady and the tramp If Lucasfilm got paid by the number of times the film's characters address Padmé as "m'lady," "Clones" would've outearned "Spider-Man" after all. Some slick digital editing could surgically excise all 10,000 (rough estimate) uses of "m'lady," and thus remove at least a minute from the movie. While they're at it, they might as well snip every instance of Obi-Wan calling Anakin a "my young Padawan apprentice," "my very young Padawan apprentice," or indeed, anything except "Anakin" or "hey, you." Time saved: 3:15
