Star Wars - Episode II: Path to the Dark Side

Pretty horrible movie, why u no cut more out? New dream scene was a unique dafuq moment.

A/V Quality - 10
Editing - 7 visual, 9 audio
Narrative - 5
Enjoyment - 5 (original is 5)

Recommended drink: Mike’s Hard Blood Orange

Audio/Video Quality: Something similar to the first episode made by adigitalman happens here. The quality is good but not enough if we compare it with the Blu-Ray new editions that can be bought everywhere.

Visual Editing: A lot of cuts were made in this movie although a lot of new extra deleted scenes were introduced, hence the similar duration between the original one and this edition. Some are not very polished.

Audio Editing: Like in the first part, a lot of the changes made cut out sentences that the character do not say anymore. However I feel some cuts could have been made, specially when the movie is near to an end.

Narrative: The narrative is changed a little but nothing very impressive. I did like the scenes where we get to know a little more about Amidala's private life, because they add something different, lost in the originals.

Enjoyment: The sensantion after watching this movie is in general terms good. Anakin does not seem so childish until the end of the movie where I believe something more could have been done but it is ok.

Overall, I’m a fan of this edit. However I do have some thoughts:

firstly, the switch from Padme going to bed to having Obi-Wan and Anakin running into the bar on Coruscant looking for the would-be assassin is way to abrupt. Without the assassination attempt or the chase scene, it makes the search for the maker’s of the dart confusing.

secondly, you need to decide on one scene that portrays Obi-Wan expressing his concerns to Yoda or Mace Windu on whether or not Anakin is ready for his first assignment. Because Mace Windu is present in both scenes, it makes Obi-Wan look like a broken record saying the same things twice.

it’s a pity for the deleted scenes, George Lucas didn’t add the final details of the CGI, but that is beyond your control. You made the transitions between those scenes very smooth.

4/5 nice work
