Star Wars - Episode I: Shadow of the Sith

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.

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.

Thanks for your great work!
