Review Detail

This edit works well if you are already familiar with Prequel Trilogy, but, and this would be my major criticism, this edit is not a stand alone piece in my opinion. The political intrigue edited over action and conversation, Episode 1 of note, works well. But much of the nuance of Anakin's descent is gleamed over in this super edit. Personally, I feel removing so much of how Qui-gon manipulated the situation to "win" Anakin eliminates one of the worthwhile themes of the prequel trilogy. And having Anakin go from being a child to killing the Tusken Raiders is too much of jump for his character ark.
The battles are well cut together, and the action set pieces, overall, remove so much of the nonsense that Lucas filled the prequels with, that I commend the editor on those portions. I would suggest leaving in a bit more of the character development and interactions between the action peaks to allow for more of a narrative flow.
