As thousands of solar systems threaten to secede from the Galactic Republic, the Dark Side of the Force shrouds the Jedi's vision. Caught up in a plot to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker must navigate the balance between his oath to the Jedi Order and his growing feelings for Padmé. But as Padmé's own feelings grow amidst a looming galactic conflict, can Anakin and the Jedi turn the tide toward peace, or will war consume them all?

Find out in SHROUD OF THE DARK SIDE, a fanedit that uses deleted scenes (AI-upscaled to 4K with HDR) and some redone visual effects to restructure the love story in "Attack of the Clones" to proceed more naturally and realistically while also streamlining and making sense of the politics behind the Grand Army of the Republic and the Jedi Council.

The greedy Trade Federation has established a blockade of warships around the planet of Naboo and threatened her people with starvation. It is up to a small band of heroes, including two jedi, a queen, and a young boy from Tattooine, to save the people of Naboo from the sinister Nute Gunray and his fellow Neimoidians.

A darker take on the Star Wars sequel trilogy, End of Skywalker transforms The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker into a single movie with an all-new, more cohesive story focused on the connection between Rey and Kylo and their uncertain relationship to the Jedi and the Force. Major cuts and changes, not least of which is the use of the Japanese dubs to allow for rewritten dialogue and new English subtitles, results in a thrilling, reimagined Star Wars experience that acts as a definitive end to the Skywalker saga.

Note: This fanedit requires you do not understand the Japanese language.

A short edit comprised almost entirely from scenes and deleted scenes on Naboo. This is intended as a companion piece to my Attack of the Clones No Naboo Cut.

The Narrative differes from AOTC in that the story takes place after the Clone Wars have begun and Anakin and Padme have already fallen in love. Apart from a short scene at the start it all takes place on Naboo.

The trip to Naboo has been cut and instead Anakin and Padme go straight to Tattoine after leaving Corouscant. In the Jedi council scene Mace Windu now does not tell Anakin to take Padme to Naboo instead Yoda tells him to hide out on Tatooine with Padme.

From Padme packing her bags until the Funeral of Anakin's Mom almost all scenes have been rearranged.

Obi Wan's investigation into Kamino and who created the clone army has him doing more detective work, gathering more clues and now has a satisfying conclusion to the Sifo Dyas mystery.

Various cuts and trims to Anakins dialogue to create a stronger character and beter romantic arc with Padme.

Scenes cut:
Anakin and Padme traveling to Naboo as refugees.
All the Naboo scenes (with the exception of the Fireside Conversation scene which now will take place on the Lars Moisture farm on Tatooine. The scene now comes in between Anakin returning with the dead body of his mother and her funeral).

Added deleted scenes:
Padme in the Senate.
Obi Wan and Mace Windu on the landing platform as Obi Wan is leaving for Kamino.
Obi Wan with Analysis droids (This scene now takes place on Kamino after he talks to Jango Fett. The Droid dialogue will be replaced so that when they analyze the Dart they discover the toxic poison comes from the Moons of Bogden.)
Anakin and Padme speak with Dooku on Geonosis.
Anakin and Padme are sentenced to death by Poggle on Geonosis.

Two main goals here, beyond just the general nips and tucks. ONE - Give the film more of an OT vibe with color correction, film grain, and new music throughout. TWO - Improve Anakin’s story. I find his fall to the dark side in the theatrical film to be rather sudden and unconvincing. So here my job was to sort of smooth out the kinks - trying to make Anakin more sure of himself and his allegiance to Palpatine before the turn, and then somewhat softening his words and actions after the turn. There’s a lot of subtle little changes and tweaks that went into this all across the film, but I do feel like the sum is that his story in this version is more believable.

This is a "Rey Nobody" edit, removing her link to Palpatine. The other major change is that Leia dies toward the beginning of the film, removing her from the plot.

The core idea is to strengthen the ties to The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi to give a clear character arc to both Rey and Kylo Ren.

I also removed some unnecessary jokes and tidied up some action beats. The goal is to create a fun, engaging movie that satisfies as an ending to these character's stories.

A rescored version of Mel Brooks Spaceballs with some classic John William's tunes to crank up the Star Wars vibe.

This edit is a follow-up to my previous prequel edits, Faster More Intense and Sanded Down.

It's in some ways a bit more conservative than my other two prequel edits, and probably one of the more conservative Revenge of the Sith edits in general. While the first two prequels are movies I don’t enjoy because of their flaws, ROTS is a movie that I enjoy despite it’s flaws, I just wish it could be better.

I added the Rogue One hallway scene and the SC38 Reimagined footage to give Darth Vader a more menacing presence in the film.

Star Wars: Abridged is meant to tell the Skywalker saga as succinctly as possible, taking all nine films and cutting them down to three. While many narrative threads remain the same, some have been vastly altered.

The Expanded Edition aims to extend The Phantom Menace to its maximum possible length with finished effects.

Fourteen new, alternate and extended scenes have been masterfully restored added back into Episode I with 6 more minutes of footage.

My goal was to streamline the storylines of the main characters through all three movies, as if the end was planned from the beginning. Kylo and Rey were of course most important.

• Kylo’s arc is pretty well fleshed out already, the most cohesive character arc of the ST, imo. As much as possible stays for Kylo.

• Rey needs to stay a nobody. And she slowly discovers her powers. She does not hit a stormtrooper with her first shot, and she less powered along the way as much as possible. She is just a special “nobody.”

• Poe’s character arc is nowhere near as complex as Kylo, but pretty much laid out for us.

• Finn is not force sensitive. This means he does not ever make and successful attacks with the lightsaber as well. Only once does he ask Rey about a boyfriend, from then on he keeps friendship motivations. Admittedly, Finn kinda disappears in the final fight, but there are just too many absurd parts to leave him in (no horses on spaceships in this cut!)

• Characters like Hux and Rose have been severely sidelined as they just do not have satisfying character arcs. Both simply fade out of importance in the final movie, but I hope I have not made it too obvious. Hux is no spy, simply muscled out by other power hungry commanders. I loved Rose in TLJ, but without adequate character development in TROS, it was best to minimize her to simply a person helping Finn on HIS character arc. Consequently, the scenes at Canto Bight are greatly reduced, and Rose and Finn simply do not pilot speeders at the battle of Crait.

Then I also audited the whole edit, based on a great youtube video essay about “showing, not telling.”

Return of the Jedi: Possessed is edited to be closer in tone and pacing to the classic Episodes IV and V. The story beats and plot are all the same, but it is less silly, campy, and cheesy.

Dueling with Fate is a 13-part docu-series on the making and production of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. The docu-series chronicles the entire behind the scenes process on the beginning of the Prequel Trilogy. Several hours of interviews from the cast and crew, featurettes, webisodes, outtakes, raw footage from on-set and inside the production have been edited and combined together to create

It's the same classic edit of Attack of the Clones by the Phantom editor, but now presented in HD!

This edit creates a narrative that focuses on Trust and provides a way for our heroes to live beyond the final conflict.

The Expanded Edition aims to extend The Last Jedi to its maximum possible length with finished effects. Using a few existing fanedits, this incorperates just about everything clean in the kitchen sink.

Eleven new, alternate and extended scenes have been masterfully restored added back into Episode VIII with 10 more minutes of footage.

This is for the most part a hybrid of the various versions of Empire Strikes Back, bringing out the best in each. However, there are also a few original changes that aim to subtly modernize the film and bring it in line with the saga, but without changing the tone or feel of the original version. Some improved visual effects, a remastered sound mix, and improved color grading as well as one or two cuts.

If the following strikes you as esoteric, I invite you to peruse the forums of Originaltrilogy.com.

I do not consider this a full-blown fan edit, as I am primarily hybridizing existing official versions of the film, keeping changes I can appreciate and excluding those I feel hinder the film. Of course, this is highly subjective, and everyone's perfect blend would be slightly different.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker gets an overhaul to serve as a conclusion to the Star Wars saga. Pacing, character journeys, and story continuity are improved via an unprecedented fan editing collaboration. A layer of polish and care applied to a relentlessly fast-paced film. Subtle character tweaks. And a few new surprises.

(Also included is a ‘Rey Nobody’ alternate version that removes her family connection to Emperor Palpatine.)

Falling Into Darkness is a feature-length documentary on the making of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, that chronicles the behind the scenes process on the conclusion of the six-film Star Wars saga. Over five hours of footage of interviews from the cast and crew, featurettes, webisodes, outtakes, raw footage from on-set and inside the production, has all been combined and edited into an in-depth look at the process that brought the end of the Prequel trilogy to the big screen.

The Expanded Edition aims to extend Revenge of the Sith to its maximum possible length with finished effects. Using Octorox's edit as a base, I've added a slew of new scenes and moments to make Episode III as long as possible.

Twelve new, alternate and extended scenes have been masterfully restored added back into the final prequel film with 11 more minutes of footage.

This cut concludes the story of the Definitive Anti-Cringe Cut of The Last Jedi. It removes plot points that go nowhere, reduces character appearences that do not move the story forward and changes the fates of key characters in the saga, once again providing some surprises for viewers of the original film.

The Darklighter Cut masterfully reintegrates all of the scenes with Luke, Biggs and their friends at the Toche Station to where they were in the original shooting script. Five new deleted and extended scenes have been restored and edited back into the classic film adding six more minutes of footage, introducing Luke far earlier than in the theatrical cut.

This is a follow-up to my Force Awakens edit “The Ford Awakens”, where Han Solo survived the events of that movie…due to having zero footage of him to use in the Last Jedi, I had to give him a minimal role in the film. He only appears on-screen once (in the scene where he meets Luke…yes, he meets Luke), and the rest of his appearances are represented by various soundbites from the original trilogy, each carefully selected to connect to certain scenes in the third act.

Having satiated my restlessness with the Star Wars prequels, I wanted to put together a custom 'Special Edition' of the original trilogy to place on my shelf alongside the original, theatrical versions (currently represented by Harmy's Despecialized Editions). I thought about calling them the "So You've Decided To Watch The Special Edition" version, because they wouldn't be intended as one's sole version of the films. Rather, a companion piece to the original versions, as a Special Edition should be.
