Star Wars edit

There was an excessive amount of material drawn from J W Rinzler's book on the editing of Star Wars, from which Jympson was fired and has no credit. Rinzler was a Lucasfilm employee when he wrote the book so naturally a lot of his material is somewhat partial (particularly material that Jympson had trouble doing match-cuts, a somewhat baffling claim about an editor who only a few years earlier had been working with Alfred Hitchcock, though I can't dispute that Rinzler made it), and there is no material from Jympson's perspective to balance it. I've moved that material to the Star Wars page where it sits more naturally. Duckwalk71 (talk) 10:25, 10 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
