Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 'Faster, More Intense'

This is a great edit! All that needs to be there (to make a decent, cohesive movie) is there. All of the fat has been trimmed. The movie no longer taps the brakes any more, now it fearlessly moves forward. Sure, Jar Jar's still there, but he doesn't annoy the viewer (nearly as much anyway, I still hate having to look at him). I have to say, the editor made some wise decisions.
Highly recommended. Very good work!

This is the best edit I've seen so far of EP I. I absolutely recommend it =). You were able to bring out the best of all the other edits (my congrats to the other editors, which I esteem and like their works as well).

Notes:
- The senate audition should have remained untouched because the original is very good, more formal and bureaucratic, further demonstrating the corruption and stalling of the senate's bureaucrats and would avoid that in one frame we see Mas Amedda and Sei Taria seated and suddenly in the next frame Amidala appears (too fast) and they are on their feet.
- You should have left Amidala's confrontation with Nute Gunray untouched. When we see them again Amidala and their soldiers suddenly defeated the droids. It was trimmed too much, I think.

The rest is perfect. Unless Adywan comes up with something better, this will be my "how it should be" version of EP I. =)
Good work friend =).

Bottom line: This is the best fanedit for The Phantom Menace I've seen. I've seen Phantom Editor's, Q2's, and l8wrtr’s. Octoroxx's is the smoothest, least "fanedit-y" edit available for this film, in my opinion. I started watching Hal9000's but was put off by the title change in the opening crawl.

More comments: As I've gotten older and married, and have a son with a second on the way, my enjoyment of the prequel trilogy has matured from childlike wonder, to sophomoric criticism, back to childlike wonder. Lucas wasn't trying to make Vertigo (another movie I love). He was making a prequel to his adventure story magnum opus. And it was, and is, for children (and, in my opinion, for their fathers). As well done as Octoroxx's edit is, it still cuts too much for me. Music sounds unavoidably chopped. Rearranged and heavily cut scenes sometimes appear abrupt or odd (throne room capture of the Viceroy). I now know that I may never see a fanedit I'll enjoy more than the retail DVD version of The Phantom Menace. And that's OK! If you want to try a fanedit of The Phantom Menace, this is the one. Well done Octoroxx. It was your relative editing conservatism that made this edit my favorite, even though I just like the original film too much.

The best Episode 1 edit I've seen.

I had previously attempted to do this very thing, as I could not choose between the work of Hal9000, L8WRTR, and Q2. I was pretty happy with what I had, but octoroxx has done what I tried, only better. This edit combines all the best ideas already out there, with a few new changes by octoroxx.

Definitely my new go-to for The Phantom Menace.

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
