Star Wars - Episode I: Return of the Sith: Revisited Edition

My first review :) a star wars movie has to be at least 90 minutes in my opinion considering the lengths of the originals but I will say that this edit totally made the unwatchable watchable to me. And not just watchable but enjoyable and even awesome!! Also the DVD slipcase for the non revisited edition is cooler so hopefully I can download a high quality copy of this earlier one someday.

After reading about all the Star Wars fanedits and ended up downloading this and L8wrter's editions, his are great too but I like how Seciors stays true to the originals without the fancy logos and menus and focuses more on the film and the story which is what I want to see (as a former Star Wars kid!). Can't stress enough how I feel these versions are the versions that should have been released in the theater!
Now I'm about to review the Army of the Republic too

When I saw this edit the first thing that struck me was the quality. Let me put this straight, It was superb. I saw no flash frames, It was in chapters (Not sure how you did that but it made it look proffesional which I liked), and It was clean and in 1080p. I'm not sure about the audio editing but it seemed great to me.

But the actual edit is a slightly different story, I know you have tried to make this a better movie, and you have succeeded. The problem is is that it still is a bad movie. One thing you did well was giving it the same overall the same tone as the original 2 films, thats great the problem is that there is still bad dialouge, monotone main characters, and a lack of tension. I know you wanted to keep this a you know a normal movie length, but you could of added some deleted scenes to make up for the short length. The dialouge between Anakin and Padme is still awful, and you didn't think to change the Neimodians voices, or change Jar Jars voice to make him not racist and actually funny. The change of opening crawl is a solid thumbs up for me though, and the start of the movie did feel exiting to a degree and the Neimodians are kinda strategically clever this time round. So I thought it was Ok and an improvement from the original, but still not very good.

I'm a newbie to to fanedit thing. In fact, a month ago I had never watched or even heard of it. But since then I have become addicted and look forward to watching movies I sadly could not previously enjoy, become a movie I will watch time and again.

This was the second fanedit I ever watched. When I first saw the Star Wars prequels I did not hate them to the degree many did, at least the basic dark, tragic storyline. But man did Lucas mess it up in execution. Much like Episode VI, he tried to be too cute. As we all know, Jar Jar made it intolerable so I love that edit. The Annakin kid was annoying at times, but you've managed to tone back his cockiness and dumb one liners. He is stud Jedi material after all, so he has to be confident.

I'm not much of a technical guy, but the video and sound was excellent as far as my humble system is concerned. The edits were not detectable, particularly since I did not remember the movie much. Maybe there was once or twice it was clear something was chopped, but really minimal.

In summary, you've done about all can be done with this movie. I disagree in terms of Star Wars does not do politics - an understanding of it lends more to the series, so I would prefer that material not be removed. The "8" for enjoyment represents the highest rating in this case, because I don't think any edit can completely overcome the shortcomings. Nice job!

Thanks Seciors for this unbelievable edit. I know its hard to save these prequels but you did an excellent job. I know have a new Episode 1 for my collection and the old one deleted. Keep up the good work. A++++

I am absolutely blown away with this edit. The Phantom Menace sucked, and Seciors has improved it so much that I finally enjoyed it. Everything was great, especially how he deleted the whole Gungan city sequence. I am surprised how it worked, even though Jar Jar is with the Jedi for no reason, it still worked. I highly recommend this edit, as it's my go-to edit of Episode I.
