Review Detail

I very much enjoyed this edit. Most noticable to me: I did not find Jarjar or Anakin annoying anymore. The decision to make Anakins actions less conincidental work fine for me. I get the idea of a child jedi not being shown already THAT skilled, but by trimming all those little "funny" "ohohs" and "oops" in the last part of the movie, the tone of the various scenes is much more consistent. The inclusion of the bonus scene with qui-gon manages to establish a father-son bond better than the original ever achieved.
Regarding Jar-jar: I think it shows that the character could work, the original cut just pushed too much of him and the sillyness in, often ruining the previously established mood.
A great version and I highly recommend watching it!
