Quick update for the next video - "What if The Phantom Menace came out in 1987?"
As the project began to take shape, I realized that because I had to explain and justify all the changes to the story, it was starting to impact the telling of the story itself. So I decided that instead of one video, each What-If would be split into two - one video that's just the story of the alternate version of the film, and one that has the full breakdown of all the changes.
And with this month being the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, I wanted to make sure I had at least the story-only version done by the end of May.
However, I think the "main event" is the full video, with the shorter version being a bonus that people can check out if they want to see how the story works on its own, or if the full video's stops-and-starts make the narrative difficult to follow.
So rather than putting the story-only version up publicly on its own and potentially confusing people with what is essentially contextless fanfiction, I've made it available over at the Patreon (www.patreon.com/empirewreckers) for anyone who's interested in getting a preview of the story until it's ready to release along with the full version.
And for everyone else, hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer for the full video. I'm aiming to get it done by the end of June, which seems doable now that I just need to fill in the gaps between the 187 storyboard frames I spent the last three months making.

Hi everyone,
