This is a good take on Episode II. The editor confirmed the intention was to balance the best ideas of the various fan edits of ATOC over the years with George Lucas' original vision (with respect to canon), and this edit achieves this.

This is a more gentle, nuanced trimming of Episode II, somewhere between the almost revisionist versions of say, Hal9000/L8wrtr, and the near-theatrical take of ebumms. I'd give this edit a try if you think that either the former went too far, or that the latter didn't go far enough.

On a related note, I don't think I've ever seen the deleted scenes reinserted in such quality before. The Upscale is excellent and works very well in context. I occasionally would notice cuts but I think that's more because I've seen the movie so often that it's hard to miss. Great work!

My Narrative and Enjoyment scores reflect my own personal tastes regarding what scenes I would cut. Your scores might be higher. :)
