Damn, Kerr really knows what storytelling means! This is a SW prequel and this is almost a good movie too, incredible! The pace is just perfect. Maybe some scenes felt a bit short to me, and 86 minutes is not exactly "Star Wars canon", but well, in this case less is more and it shows!

Kerr managed to cut every redundancy possible and so certain scenes that were boring in the original are now interesting because the audience learns something new. All the cringe inducing lines and scenes have vanished. Some lines have been reorganized to make the characters sound like they are actualy talking to each others and not reading George's corny dialogue. Oh, and the useless "catch me if you can" boring first 30 minutes of the original movie are now a real ride!

There already were some good edits of this movie, but this cut is the best SW prequel I've seen to date. Only the very short lenght, that does not feel like a SW movie, and some audio cuts (not bad, but just a bit obvious at times) prevent me to rate it the maximum. But it is a very, VERY solid 9/10. A must see IMO.

Just finished and I would say that for now, this is my preferred version of Ep. III. It really is streamlined, cutting out so much unnecessariness, and is easy to understand. The audio and video quality is top notch as well. There are some further audio cuts I would make (some fixable, some only partially so but preferrable to the audio as-is) and remove a few lines and such here and there (some one-liners, and…he left in the Tarzan yell?!), but overall, the choices made were very good. As mentioned above, the transformation scene is interesting, too. Overall, I loved how quickly things got going and remained that way, but the scenes that needed length (some solemn, like Anakin and Padme pondering on their balconies) remained as well and helped the story elements.

Overall, I’m giving this a 9/10. Great effort!

Smooth cuts throughout and a bold take on Palpatine’s transformation – very good cut.
