***SPOILERS***

TMBTM, you’re a genius. A genius. This was probably the most brilliant edit I’ve ever seen. Personally, I thought it was a ton better than the first WOTS, which I only gave 7/10 (maybe it was just not for me). I was wowed the whole time I watched this.

Technical quality – 10/10 – it was a tad fuzzy and some added scenes had worse quality than others, but given the type of edit this was it did not affect the viewing experience at all.

Editing – 10/10 – that rotoscoping and 90 new SFX shots… WOW. Just wow. I don’t know HOW you did the stuff you did, but it turned out wonderfully. My jaw was dropped the entire time I watched the before and after video – some of it was stuff that I didn’t even notice when I was watching because it was so seamless.

Entertainment – 10/10 – as I said, this is probably the cleverest edit ever. The new opening explaining Vader’s survival is just beautiful. Then there’s a marathon of one jaw-dropper after another: the new snow creatures on Hoth, Yoda’s new entrance, the wonderfully color-corrected deleted scenes, the new sequences with Boba Fett, the revised Tatooine rescue, Boba’s explosive new death, and the ending… oh, the ending… I’ve already given a couple things away in this review, but I don’t want to give this away… all I can say is that it was splendid – the rotoscoping was perfect, and it was just a brilliant idea in general… WOW. Wow, wow, wow. There were plenty of other things that amazed me, so many that I can’t even remember them all to list them. There were only a couple issues I saw: one, sometimes the new footage looked too obviously animated, but that’s ok. And sometimes the new lines did not go along right with the lip movements. There were only 4-5 times where this really stood out. As long as you were doing that much rotoscoping, maybe you could have just modified their lip movements a little bit. But it’s ok. Overall, this is still a stunning edit, two hours of sheer amazing. Thank you, TMBTM, for this fabulous fanedit experience. It was crazy insane awesome.

Presentation – 10/10 – cool cover art. The menu was nice and creative. The before and after montage was really interesting. Good job overall here.

Overall – 10/10

Awesome!

Id like to give it 10 stars, but…..so i did!

why cant someone put electric guitars in a star wars movie??

Well i like it, and ***SPOILER*** i loved the model x-fighter addition! (is that right? looks like the hasbro toy version anyway)

Pretty much like most other people have been saying its like a mainstream sequel after making a low budget independant film for the first one.

The added special effects are awesome and helped to blend Jedi and empire scenes together well, this film has its own style which i like and typically emulates the bigger budget sequel – gone wrong! I like this cos it adds character to the movie.

I’ve watched this a few times now and will be wanting to watch it again tonight!

10/10 (thanks for sharing this with us!)
