Fall of the Jedi: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

This is an interesting fanedit.

It is at the same time a radical cut in the way so many minutes were cut, but at the same time it is still the same movie. Minus all the things people usaly don’t like about it.

The way 3PO is cut works very well, and R2 is indeed just another droid. I’m curious to see how this will be handle in the next movies.

Just one music cut did not work for me: the podrace parade cut to Shmi and Anakin. It was a bit jarring.

Overall this is a good edit. A lot of the groaner lines are still present, but most of it is gone. I also wished you would include Qui Gon’s and Obi Wan’s names in the opening crawl, but oh well. Your editing of the first anakin and padme meeting was spectacular, and cutting R2D2 and C3PO was fantastic! Anakin not going up into space was also great! The image quality and the editing was perfect as well.

This is probably one of the strongest Ep. 1 edits I’ve seen. My only real issue is that there are simply some movies you can’t completely fix, and this is one of those films. Unfortunately, Q2 and other editors have to deal with the horrible shot composition, horribly delivered lines that are crucial to plot, and other little annoyances like that. Q did one of the best jobs that could be done to this movie. It truly is hard to polish a turd, but I’ll be honest and say that this turd actually shines a little. Great work, Q2!

I think this is possibly my favorite Episode I edit too. I didn’t think anything would top Seciors’ version but I think this did. I loved how you kept Anakin on Naboo and that is one of the major reasons this might be my favorite. You along with Seciors made Episode I not only watchable but enjoyable which had never been done before IMO. L8Wrtr’s is watchable but there’s too much left in IMO. Back to your edit, I do wish like what was mentioned above that there was a little more interaction between Padme and Anakin. I love the treatment of R2 and 3PO.

I really enjoyed to watch this edit. You cut all what was unnecessary and the movie is no more boring.
The only think I found that has not his place was Shmi saying “I can’t explain it”.

Video and sound are perfect.
Great job !
