Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode I: Army Of The Republic

Smudger9 has done what I had previously thought impossible: He made the earlier parts of The Clone Wars TV series into an enjoyable viewing experience. I have frequently expressed my deep-seated hatred for the beginning of the series, and was really surprised by what was done in this wonderful edit. I'll go through my favorite things about the edit before I get to my minor complaints.

Pros:
-What I really like in this edit is how smudger9 took multiple arcs and was able to mesh them into a single cohesive story.
-I found myself much more attached to characters (specifically the clones of Domino Squad) due to his editing.
-Some really awful story arcs were cut (Jabba's son, anyone?)
-Ashoka wasn't pushed to the front. While I have nothing against her, she wasn't important to the story of this edit and would've detracted from the plot.
-Most of the editing was extremely well done. It was barely noticeable mostly.

Cons:
-There were a couple of points where you could tell a conversation had been modified. It would have a slightly noticeable visual and audio glitch when it happened. However, it was rare.
-There was a poor ratio of action vs. character development, but I can understand this since most of the character development happens in cut story arcs. However, it would've been nice if a little more could've been preserved.

All in all, a wonderful edit that created a movie worthy of any Star Wars collection.

A really well done re-imaging of the Clone Wars animated series which makes the story much tighter, better focus, and more chronologically correct. I'm curious as to how Smudger9 will deal with the rest of the Clone Wars episodes and maybe even Star Wars Rebels.

If I had any complaints, is that there are some notable too quick cuts in some transitions between certain parts(episodes of the show). Most can easily be ignored but some are actually noticeable.

Wow. I'm in a separate boat when compared to most Star Wars fans when it comes to TCW, since I personally believe it is the best thing to come out of the prequels and possibly the entire star wars universe in general (yes, some story arcs I believe are better than the original trilogy). But I never could've put together an edit like Smudger9 did. For those of you who haven't normally seen the show, his flawless editing may seem almost nonexistent. But being a constant fan of the show, I was amazed at the way he weaved multiple story lines (spanning 3 different seasons) that originally had NOTHING to do with each other into one cohesive narrative. The only things I didn't enjoy came from being an avid fan of the show, so if you haven't seen TCW before you won't even care. I personally love the encounter with Cody and Grievous during "Grievous Intrigue" and am very unsure as to why you removed it. The other thing I missed was the removal of Fives/Echo's scene with 99 in which Heavy's badge is shown. I understand why it was removed as it wouldn't have fit with the pacing/narrative, but that is one of the more emotional scenes in the whole show, and for a show filled with mainly action scenes, those types of moments are far and few between. But I digress, as these are just my personal feelings and shouldn't effect anyone who has not seen TCW. Anyway, this is a fantastic edit, and just a couple of tweaks away from a perfect one IMO. Great job, and I really hope you don't pull a Q2 - Please continue with these fanedits!

Really great work ;) Finally, there will be some enjoyable, shorter version of whole "TCW" :)

I originally didn't like the Clone Wars series in season one and have avoided that season and the first few for a while now due to weak stories and shoddy animation. But it got better over time until Disney axed it.
So when I saw that someone tried to edit them into a single coherent storyline my interest was piqued. I don't have the time or inclination to go back af watch them again, but now I don't have to since it's all the good episodes have been merged together to tell the story that the original films failed to do.
The annoying bickering between the Jedi is gone and so is the whole hutt plot in the movie. This story focuses on the clones and tells their story.
I didn't notice anything missing not anything wrong with the audio and visual cuts.
This is now my go to version when I feel like watching clone wars and I eager await the next lot of films.
Well done!
