Star Wars - Episode I: Shadow of the Sith

This is objectively better than the original movie. There's no reason why you wouldn't watch it instead of the original. This is the version I'll watch forever, although I'll try more fan edits to see if they are better. But I don't see how they could!

Technically Flawless and better than the theatrical cut, but I preferred HAL900's edit.

So, this is a good version of this movie. Its still pretty bad, but there is so much in this movie that just doesn't make sense that you really can't do much. I mean, why is Anakin even there at the end? Why would they take him into battle? Makes no sense. Why does the droid army land halfway around the world from the major population centers? Makes no sense. The whole virgin mom thing? Dumb as hell. Oh, the change list specifically mentions the "He doesn't know greed" line as being cut, but its not. Not that its a deal breaker or even that big of an issue (the whole conversation that surrounds the line is face-palm inducing stupidity, after all).

All in all, not my favorite edit as it keeps C3PO and R2, it keeps the immaculate conception, and a few other things, but its is in many other ways exceptional. If those things don't bother you, then this may even be the best edit of this movie out there.

Thanks for your great work!

One of my favorite fanedits of all time.

With a full grasp of the story that needed to be told, there was an enormous amount of thought and research that went into all 3 of l8wrtrs trilogy. Every single edit has a reason behind it in support of pacing, story, and characters. Underneath the phantom menace, L8wrtr proves there is an interesting story. L8wrtr transforms a terrible film into an interesting and enjoyable first entry into the Star Wars Saga. This trilogy as a whole makes watching the saga in order (1-8) worth your time.

This is the quintessential edit of Episode 1.
