This is probably one of the best fan edits I've seen out of the star wars movies. Doesn't change the core of the movie at all, just makes it flow 1000x better. Outstanding work on making this not only watchable, but actually fun!

Only complaint is I'm not sure what source this edit is using but it is clearly not the superior HDTV version of the film. It can look a little soft and dull at times. But it's a minor complaint

I have now watched this edit more times than I have watched the theatrical. I used to have a hard time picking between Hal9000, Q2, L8wrtr, and seciors edits. With this, the best of those edits is combined into the quintessential TPM viewing experience. I never feels like a fanedit. Rather, it just feels like how TPM should have been edited in the first place. Jar Jar is there, but it doesn't feel like he's taking over the whole movie. The juvenile humor is toned down but not to the point that the edit is completely joyless. Rather, the humor is more in line with the humor from the OT series. All in all, a very balanced, well-paced (which is hard to do with TPM especially) edit that just feels like Star Wars.

Masterful editing here. The final battles feel a bit light in terms of connection to characters due to removed dialogue.

...well, I think I must echo the various praise this edit has received. Takes some of the best ideas from the various other editors over the years and combines with a few new ones, and seamlessly. An excellent cut of the film: keeps its strengths, trims its weaknesses. Very very good. This is easily in the top three cuts of Episode I that I've seen (7 of them so far).

My enjoyment score is personal and of a nitpicky nature; you can't go wrong with this one.

Faster, more intense and possibly the best version of TPM out there. This is the fourth edit of TPM I've see and out of the four, this felt the least like a fanedit. Despite a quarter of the film being cut, the pacing throughout is excellent, especially in the first act, where the other three edits felt off. My only qualm with this edit was the end. After seeing l8wrtr's edit end on Palpatine at Qui-Gon's funeral, I simply can't abide by the Naboo celebration ending the film. A great start to the trilogy.
