What is the phantom edit?
It’s a fan-made recut of the Phantom Menace, which – I haven’t actually seen it for myself, so this is hearsay – removes most of the kiddie antics and the midchorians thing. (Which I kinda want to see actually so I may dig that scene up somehow.) It also scrambles Jar Jar Binks’s dialogue into an alien language and then subtitles him with new dialogue that is (I hope) a) less racist and b) less stupid.
We’ll see how that goes. I’m hoping I got the right one.
I can’t remember anything racist about what Jar-Jar was actually saying? Wasn’t it all in the delivery with the horrific accent and ridiculous pidgen?
So like if you dubbed the lines into unintelligible clicks and chirps or frog screaming or something, then subtitled, say, “Meesa no tink dis a good idea!” as “I don’t think this is a good idea.”, you could excise 90% of the racism from Episode I?
(I don’t remember if the aliens that were basically Space-Mandarins had accents, but Jesus, those costumes.)
I’m given to understand that they didn’t just remove the racism but actually made Jar Jar smarter – like, the shit he gets up to is no longer just him being a dumbass to get laughs for little kids watching the movie, it’s now justified by his newly-written dialogue, turning him into some kind of wise fool.
I suppose we’ll find out in TWO DAYS! :D
the Space-Mandarins definitely had accents. Accents that made Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s seem subdued.
