Fall of the Jedi: Episode II – Attack of the Clones

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.

(A caveat before I begin: I hate the source material for this edit, so I did not take into account my bias when giving a score for enjoyment.)

This is a huge improvement over the theatrical cut! All of the trilogy-spanning edit decisions made in Q2's Phantom Menace cut carry over here, so that means no R2D2 or C3PO, no knowledge of the Sith puppetmaster's identity (other than a slight mistrust), and very little Jar-Jar. In addition, he's somehow managed to make the romance between Padme and Anakin feel authentic and organic, as opposed to unbelievable and forced, and he's taken out that ridiculous fight between Yoda and Dooku. The pacing is also greatly improved, the story feels more focused, and the trade-outs between theatrical material and deleted scenes worked beautifully. I still don't consider this a very good movie, but at least now it's somewhat exciting and feels more like Star Wars. The best thing I can say to make my point is that, when it ended, I couldn't wait to watch the third one. I've never liked any of these prequels, so for me to feel that way is completely unexpected. Kudos. If you want to watch the prequels again, watch Q2's versions.

The only change I don't agree with is removing "I have a bad feeling about this." Ultimately, it doesn't make much of a difference, but, c'mon, it's Star Wars.

Hi Q2, I've just finished watching Ep 2 and I enjoyed it very much, However, I have some things I wish to point out... I think there is something amiss of how Kenobi finds out Kamino and I didn't like that you removed Yoda Vs Dooku and Dooku meeting Sidious scenes. Besides that I really like this edit =) Congrats

Much better edit of AOTC. More believable love story. Less whiny Anakin. No more yoda fighting with a light saber. No more flying R2. And great deleted scene additions that add a lot to the story emotionally.

I'm pretty sure I'm only going to watch this version from now on. So much better than the original.

My only complaint is that the color of the video seems a bit off, which is evident when Dooku's light saber appears a tiny bit pink and some skin tones are off, especially during the scene between Obi-wan and Jango when they first meet.

But other than that, it is a great edit!

This, for me is the perfect edit for Attack of the Clones.

In my opinion, Attack of the Clones is the worst out of the 3 prequel movies. The romantic bullshit, the love cliché environment just made this movie silly, ridiculous.

Now the movie is compact, the romance is BELIEVABLE, adding the deleted scene was a wise decision, and it sets the relationship more as a normal one... even if it is special.

The scene after the Tusken Raider killing is now in a good level of tension, and removes the silly sentences by Anakin.

Removing R2 and C3PO works perfectly too, you don't even realise many of the cuts. This also happens with all the unnecessary bullshit in this movie... now it is a good movie!! A whole new experience for me...

Also, Yoda is not a flying rat with a lightsaber anymore. Thumbs up!!!

This is my new Attack of the clones version. Thank you!!!!


Just a couple of suggestions:
- I know it is not a big issue but I would have chosen a different moment to cut after Anakin is defeated by Dooku... it seems a bit weird, even if I get the idea.
- I would try to cut out the "Yep" of Boba Fett. He should be, for me, the quiet little guy...
