Since I'm waaay too late to the party, these edits have been around for ages, I'll just say that after having watched at least 3-4 fanedits of this movie (like HAL's, Spence's, Octoroxx etc.), this version is the one that became my go to version of the movie. I didn't like it almost at all, with the exception of some redeeming qualities like Darth Maul and Qui-Gon, so I needed an aggressive edit. This one did the job perfectly!

I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an aggressive edit of Episode 1, I assure you it will be your go-to version in the future!

Thank you L8wrtr for all your hard work and thanks to anyone who read my review!

L8wrtr deserves appreciation for their amazing work on this edit. The movie is now much more enjoyable thanks to the removal of unnecessary scenes that I personally felt didn't belong in the original version. The effort to improve the pacing and tone of the film has not gone unnoticed, and the attention to detail in the editing process is truly commendable. Watching this cut is definitely worth it, and I have officially replaced Episode 1 with this version. Thank you, L8wrtr! :-)

What else can I say that others haven't already? This is one of the best fan edits I have watched. The fan editor did have other edits that paved the way, but this one takes TPM to a new level. The movie still has flaws (8-year-old Vader being the most obvious), but this edit really makes it a better movie by at least a full star, maybe two. I got to experience a film that I have watched many times in a new way. Cut scenes are not missed. The movie flows so much more smoothly now. I agree with other reviewers that there is no reason to watch any other version of The Phantom Menace.

Having not watched TPM for several years, this was a very refreshing way to reexperience it. The subtle changes to Anakin really improved his character and the movie. There's a lot going on in TPM, so I enjoyed the faster pace, and never felt bored. The podrace especially felt much more tense and enjoyable without the announcer or slapstick humor.

Technicaly a very fine edit. For my taste it cuts too much. I found it jaring to see the Queen get captured near the end but then when next we see her she is meeting Palpatine. The cuts to dialogue worked well to improve acting. The cuts I liked the most are when Obi-Wan cuts Maul in half and loosing the scene where Qui-Gon convinces the Queen to go to Tatoine.
