Disclaimer: It has been years since I've watched the prequels, so I can't compare this too well to the original AotC.

Just like the last in the series, this edit was technically flawless. I didn't notice a single cut/transition made, and the pacing was greatly improved compared to how I remember the original being.

Attack of the Clones used to be my least favourite of the prequels, and my least favourite of all Star Wars. After watching this edit, along with the first in the series, I have changed my rankings to place AotC above TPM. This movie was actually pretty enjoyable, some of the scenes are really cool, and I don't remember anything because I've only seen this film a couple times, but I think cutting whatever you did was a very good choice.

Just watched this fanedit, and again it blew my mind Like the one for Episode 1.
All the goofy humor is gone, the videogame level (droid factory) is gone, and all of a sudden, the romance doesnt seem forced anymore.
Not that we can really feel the love story, but we can actually believe it now.
Like Fall of the Jedi I, this version builds upon a movie i can purely enjoy for shallow entertainment and makes a movie that i can enjoy at a level that recognizes it as a real Star Wars movie.
Just like Episode 1, i dont see any technical flaws here. Quality is of the absolute highest standard, and at no point is there any sign that this version is "just" a fanedit.
One minor continuity error is that Kenobi's ship is visibly damaged after the missing asteroid belt sequence. But i refuse to take a point off for this, since editing is still of the highest quality.

Many thanks and so much respect for his work to Q2.

There isn't much here to say that I didn't say in my review of Fall of the Jedi I. Everything I said there holds true for this movie as well. All the nonsense is gone and what we have now is a reasonably good film. Rated the narrative down just a bit, but that probably just because the theatrical version is even less salvageable than either I or III.

Like Fall of the Jedi I, this is much better than the original.

I liked the intro with ship landing and just blowing up. However the problem it causes is that, as we don't know who is on it, we are uninvested in the craft exploding. A (dialogue-less?) shot of Amidala on the ship before this would have helped.

Great to continue the reduced JarJar and 3PO. Much improved (i.e. removed) dialogue. And liked the addition of the short dart-testing scene. Good work removing the droid factory fight scene.
The love story reduced to a single look/kiss as the couple are about to die, is excellent.

So all good, great to watch... I guess the issue is the Yoda/Dooku fight. This scene cut does give you something wonderful, which is Dooku suddenly gets character complexity (in a prequel trilogy movie!!). He has the option to kill his defeated enemies, but instead is conflicted, and shows mercy. It's an excellent contrast to Anakin in the next movie, when in the reverse situation he executes Dooku. Brilliant.
But the price we have to pay for that upside is the loss of a really wonderful moment for fans who have at this point watched 4.9 movies (given the order we all saw them in) of Yoda being wise and peaceful, and telling other people what to do. And then he walks into a situation where two Jedi have been defeated and violence is required, and he delivers.

I get that people see it as ridiculous that Yoda is "flying around" in this scene. But, well... he's short! That's how a skilled fighter that small would have to fight a large opponent!

But hey. Overall another great piece of work by Q2. Watch it!

A vast improvement over the theatrical cut. Anakin was actually somewhat likable. Obi-Wan wasn't a prick to him. The romance angle was much more plausible. Still a few bits of silliness here and there, but that's a given. I liked the way you handled the toxic dart investigation. It flowed really well. I don't like Anakin going on a killing spree, mostly because of the awful scene in the shed, but this edit did good at making you think Padme is going to stick by Anakin even in his dark places. The kiss at the arena was superb.
