Star Wars: A Vergence in the Force [Episodes I-III Fanedit]

- Although he never released it to the public, Topher Grace is typically credited with starting the trend of re-cutting the Star Wars prequels into one movie. His fan edit suggested that somewhere in between the bloated films, there’s a good movie.
A few fan edits were made in the spirit of Topher Grace’s cut, but none of them fully satisfied me. They went on too long or the quality of the editing wasn’t strong enough. They also cut too much out of Episode 1. I decided to do one myself.
After working for a few months with friends to help and give me notes, I’ve created a fan edit that I think satisfies. It sticks to the story of Anakin’s descent into the dark side, his relationship with his mother, his thirst for glory, and his somewhat unhealthy relationship with Padmé.

Wow so, this was kicked off UA-cam for a few years and then magically reappeared a few weeks ago. Thank you Disney? I'm so happy to see so many people enjoying it. When me and my good friend Paul Odgren made this together back in 2015, we thought it'd get like 514 views. It's been amazing to see the response over the years. Thank you all for watching. ❤
I'm just about to watch for the first time - the comments from viewers here have persuaded me. Well done!
Greetings from Vienna Chris, thank you for that great Edit 👍 you made my day , great job, continue your work ‼️👏🏻👍
If only you can make Anikan have traits of Darth Vader. It's like Clark and Super Man with these films.
Thank you, love it
😢😮😂🎉😢😮😅
This is the best Unofficial Star Wars Release in the world. The truth is I saw this years ago and was finally able to like the prequels, so much so that here I am Jan 2024, and loving it!!!
😶🌫️I don't know there is another one that's is pretty cool too I like this one thought as well. The fal of the jedi one that was fan made was very well made
I can’t wait to see all 4 minutes of the Last Jedi’s edit
This reminds me of some writing advice I read years ago: Don’t write the boring parts.
Thanks for helping me to write my book (about sound) a better way 👍
Without the dialogue between Padme and Anakin in the "romantic" scenes.......how is the audience supposed to know that Anakin hates sand??? And the reasons why he hates it.
this is my favourite comment on all of UA-cam
Obviously the original dialogue in that scene sucked, but the problem with fan edits is that it was not possible to substitute good dialogue. As a result, the story line is just left even more underdeveloped than in the original.
Similarly, the mute Jar Jar just seems like a recurring joke for the fans. He sucked as a character, but removing all his lines is almost as bad as his racist stereotype of a Jamiacan accent.
Yeah I actually came to a similar conclusion. I wanted a good edit of the prequels that would tell a more solid story. It seems it's not possible, they will forever be awful. They definitely make me appreciate the orig trig more though, so there's that.
LOL
DedMachine I just made a comment about the same but you win hands down.
Star wars is the best. Big time and I grow up with the show.
I've got all of them made and still watch them in order, even the off shoots. Got hooked in 76 and still hooked.
15:15
At first, I didn’t like the change to Maul’s ”death” but the lethal efficiency of it and how we would have reacted to seeing Mail in two pieces as he fell changed my mind.
It was a more vicious death in this version. One slip in a lightsaber duel and you’re done. It showed the lethality of a lightsaber.
I agree. Having Obi hanging on with Maul just looking at him, only to flip over him and cut him in half while he just derpily takes it? Yeah.. this is much better.
The acting and line readings are still pretty laughable, but hey, what are you gonna do?
more like a fight from the original movies?
it didn't go on and on..
yeah it's better here in this
A lethality that doesn't exist anymore thanks to Di$ney.
LOL at Phantom Menace only lasting seventeen minutes ideally. That's so hilarious and so accurate...
I love all the Star Wars trilogies. This one makes Anakin’s story closer to his feelings for Padme, and shows it a bit more time emotionally. Thank you for sharing this. I Enjoyed it. 👍❤️
It did get to me how Anakin was deceived and how he ended up. I wonder how he really felt knowing the Emperor lied to him about saving Padme.
I also love the two trilogies
puke
Excellent fanfilm ! Never lets up for a minute ! This is how a StarWars film can be made ! And hopefully, you're got more forthcoming soon 😀 👍 😊?
Did you happen to watch it with captions on?
Not quite as good as "bad lip reading"; but the mistakes were... most impressive.
✌🏽🤘🏼
Thank you so much for this wonderful edition!!! Much appreciated.
Never thought the prequels could become watchable. This edit changed that.
Hats of to who ever reedited this. It’s hands down the best. I likely will never watch the prequels again after this. Great, great, great job. ❤❤❤
Thank you, so glad all the bloat was removed but the edit is still smooth and cohesive. Excellent Job!
I would have kept the line "Obiwan is going to kill me" in the droid factory scene
The Millennium Falcon can be seen landing at the bottom landing ramp as the shuttle carrying Anakin, Obi-Wan & Palpatine lands on the top ramp at 1:09:34!
It's small so pause it at 1:09:34 & look where I said & you'll see it!
+Karen Catizone wtf that's weird
+Karen catizone... It may be a similar freighter and not the actual Millenium Falcon. Im pretty sure its not a one-off just a bog standard freighter that has been highly modified over a long period. But you are right i just looked and there "it" is....
lol , nice !!!
you are strong in the force
Karen Catizone no kidding
This was quite good.. it breezed along, too. The quick cut ending to the Kenobi/Darth Maul fight in Episode I got a quick chuckle out of me 😊
Best on YT, just got done watching this. It really showcases all the good points, omits the fluff, gets rid of all the bad stuff, bye bye Jar Jar, this just makes this so kuch better. The Trilogy works as a single film here. The prequels are saved. This is what I would show others that never seen the movies.
I always thought the slanting opening summary that goes into space is unique and a noveity but it was done in Sapphire and Steel , a British tv series of the 70s . Enjoyed this.
Really smooth and well done. I'd say this is the best fanedit I've seen. Really captures the Anakin story as needed and keeps the whole thing streamline. I appreciate the care you took in making the transitions seamless. Especially the audio. Thank you. I consider this a suitable replacement for the original prequel trilogy.
One thing is evident through all the ages, never trust a politician ‼️
Long life to the Jedies!
Decent edit. It made Anakin and Palpatine's relationship make a little more sense, and emphasized Anakin's concern for Padme. A bit action-heavy for me. I would have omitted the ending where we see Padme giving birth and naming the twins. It would have been more surprising in the original trilogy to find out that not only is Anakin alive, but his children also survived. We also could have assumed Leia grew up with Padma for a time, which would have made her line about remembering her mother in Return of the Jedi make sense.
That said...when all you've got is lemons, it's hard to make anything more than lemonade. Anakin and Obi-wan's dialogue in Revenge of the Sith is still painful. Anakin's inane reason for turning to the Dark Side and his apparent stupidity are still there.
Still would love to see the Topher Grace edit. 😎
I sort of wish a full length movie or 2 could be made where The First Jedi came about, how the lightsaber was adapted (almost exclusively), & how the Jedi Order was established!
Yeah, I've kinda pictured that movie in my head as well... My take would be to do a version of the classic Romulus & Remus myth about brotherly betrayal (or sisters, doesn't rlly matter) as an origin-story for the Jedi and the Sith.
Set on some primitive backwater planet bereft of modern technology (to set up the swords & knights stuff for later) and then maybe introduce a hostile, more advanced alien species they have to go up against (before turning on each other), so that's how lightsabers enter into the story.
@@runi5413 good storyline! Thank you 🤓
Wow my friend, great work and thank you for taking the time to do this.
Donna Douglas has returned from the force.....
An absolute masterpiece of video editing 👌
The best movies , Star war❤
Star Wars , no one knew how far this would go. Most of us live on Terra , but to get away from this crazy planet for a short time watching is relaxing. Scottish guys in dresses are hilarious !. Many thanks guys. Dave😮😊
1:45:15 to see Anakin take good care of the younglings during siege of the Jedi Temple like a Jedi that he is
I'll try re-editing, that's a good trick

Not a good idea changing the quality of the movie such as zoom-in that you can't see the action you don't know what's going on, ugly sound, backwards, missing action that you cut the scene to shortening the good story. Instead of destroying the quality it might as well put it in the small screen size without changing all those quality as I mentioned. The UA-cam, movie seller, website movie pay won't say anything because it's already in an ugly small screen size movie. The upload quality of the movie is excellent.
If those qualities were degraded no one will watch it unless if somebody is desperately want to watch even though couldn't understand what's going on just to kill the time lol.
Editorbinks, thnx for that excellently, smartly, beautiful upload.

You did an amazing job with this! Thank you for sharing your work. You know, if hard core StarWars fans would help make the StarWars films or had some say in the productions, the movies would be so much the better I think.
Great job Sir!!!!😀😀
Yes...people without political and social agendas, people who want to entertain, not preach their sjw religion to those who could care less about it...
Honestly, I find the whole 'Young Anakin Skywalker' story contradicts what Lucas originally presented in the first trilogy and by what Obi-Wan Kenobi had told Luke regarding his father and how he knew him.
Positioning the Battle for Naboo as the inciting incident was a brilliant move; that's effectively what it is anyway, and it makes for a cool action setpiece to kickstart the story!
Star Wars Legacy will Never Die our children children and then next 1000 year's will be amazed and intrigued for centuries to come
Uhhh, no. 🙄 🤦♂️ 😒 Not a single Star Wars movie outside of the original trilogy has entered the library of congress for historic preservation nor won any significant film award. Yes, the Star Wars nerds will “pass it on to their children’s children”, but the blemishes of all the bad prequels/sequels after the original trilogy will also “never die”.. lol 🤦♂️
This is a fantastic edit. Well done.
The movie started out great no stopping and a few seconds restarting but in the middle it started stopping and a few seconds restarting. And kept on the rest of the movie.
This was GREAT!!! It took Eoisodes 1,2,&3 and consolidated them into one fantastic movie!! Any Star Wars fan should watch this and ENJOY!!!!!
Star wars fan my whole life. This was most excellent! Thank you for sharing.
This is great for those who have seen the movies. It cuts the crap and goes straight to the good stuff
Very good job - I thank you for showing us all " A galaxy far far away "
Ive not seen this till now. It was ok.
No commercials.
WOW. This edit should be the standard way to view the prequels. THANK YOU for this fan edit. Much appreciated! It really highlights the core of what makes the prequels great!
this actually pretty brilliant
i never watched a movie on youtube i was so ecxited thank you for making this movie you are the best
Even truncated to 2 hours or so, the dialogue between Anakin and Padme cringes to the depths of my soul.
Now that it appears they won't take it down, I might make my own version with just action and literally no dialogue except Yoda and C-3PO.
Thank you SOOOOOO much for editing out Jar Jar Binks & the Gungins!!! That alone was worth watching it!!!
very serious edit- makes this movie a cult classic~! congrats~!
Enjoyed your Readers Digest condensed edit version very much! Hope you continue with updated versions!
Thanks!
Unbeatable good film. This quality, we do not have anymore today
that darth maul fight was dope.. can't wait for this to be redone in deep dream for that anime feel, gonna be sick
Excellent movie. Very engaging. The best of the re-edits in my opinion.
Oh thank you for sharing this with us. Very nice of you!
The edit simplifying the dual of the fates sabre fight made it much better.
Perfect edit of Obi Wans deadly lightsaber strike to Maul. Much better without the "cliffhanger".
I agree with that, it was very close cut.
And he even remembered to change the green blade to blue
Meh, it highlights the "high ground, " situation in Ep 3 where obi wan strikes down anikan.
Agreed. The brevity of it really gave the action that much more of an impact. Even opens up the quick victory up to the interpretation that Obi had to tap into a sliver of the dark side to get that rage-induced edge for the quick win. Of course, that's just me thinking too deeply into it. Buuut...even with that, that's essentially a apart of the point of these sort of things also!
I love the edit, but I would’ve kept in the scene where Palpatine manipulates Padme into holding a vote of confidence it’s by far the most important scene in that entire movie and I’d say of the best parts of it. not to mention is a natural Segway to them leaving for Naboo. As it happens in the edit, they just kind of leave after arriving.
So this is how a new era of Star Wars began, with the birth of the twins. Thank you so much for posting. 🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍
This is good, no great, no fkn phenomenal! Thank you I am enjoying this immensely.
I think I remember Topher Grace best as Eric Forman on "That 70's Show".
This deserves an Oscar.
very fast paced and much more enjoyable, well done
My God I like the prequels now, great job
Obi-Wan: " Only a sith deals so absolute. So, I have no other option but to kill you..." 😂😂😂😂😂
I particularly like the transition into Episode III, it's a really good match shot that conveys that time has passed (I also noticed the bit of the Clone Wars rendition of the main theme to make the musical transition- good use of resources, I bet that took ages to find and make work). I was disappointed with the time skip to Episode II when I saw it, but honestly there's just no good material to show the passage of time there. Excellent cutting my dude
Many times I thought about doing a prequel fan edit, but now I don't have to because you got everything perfectly right. This is excellent! This segues perfectly into Rogue One. The original spirit of the story is finally found from your tighter and more focused storyline. If Disney and George Lucas knew what a gift you gave, Disney would release your edit with Lucas' blessing as 3-D in the theaters.
Thank you for the kind words!

When I was a child, because it was never seen carefully, look carefully from now on．
I like your edit a good refresher,great quality 🎞
A Very Well Done Fan Edit, Thank You Editor Binks.
anyone that has never seen the movies would have no idea what size going on
Judge me by my size, do you?
Tech 52 Don't watch them. They are worse.
Tech 52 the Prequels are good
Tech 52 it's all necessary, this editing is missing some vital information so if this is your first time watching the movies then you should watch the first movie up to where this edit starts.
This is Amazing. Thank You...and May the force be with you.....Always
Best film of its time i believe this production is concidered a great meaningful idea dreams came true.
Awesome job on this! Thank you so much.
You’ve done something I could never do. Definitely your calling. Keep it up.
The force is with you.
My edit is now complete and will be finished uploading momentarily! Come check it out and let me know what you think : )
A huge amount of credit goes to Editor Binks. The quality of his edit is one of the main things that inspired me to take on the challenge of making my own.
It's been a year now.. Where is it?
STARTINGSOMESHIT haha! I was thinking the same thing!
where is it
I subscribed- years late, but the least I can do for all this work! Thank you ❤
The prequels were supposed to be this monumental achievement in cinema. Me and my friends would make up our own stories with the bits of info we knew about the past. I'm older now and don't feel so bad about being let down, but every time I watch these I feel the laziness of it and it pisses me off all over again.

Cutting out the fluffy stuff out makes a good movie
I watched the whole thing. I just realize this is an edit YUB NUB LOL. Nice job you did. Good they put it back haha
MUCHAS GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRNOS ESTA GRAN PELICULA, SIN DUDA LA MEJOR DE LAS 6 PRIMERAS
😀
Best MI culo.
This was genuinely brilliant. During the Mustafar scenes where you've edited out certain lines of dialogue the lack of music is very apparent and slightly jarring. It also sounds like there's some distortion in the last bit where Anakin is lying burning, and Obi-Wan is shouting at him; as though the volume is cutting out a little. Ultimately just technical stuff...
Frankly this is FAR better than the prequels as a whole. The editing of Episode 2 that made Anakin's and Padme's relationship look more like he was being persistent to the point of gas-lighting, that was great. Makes sense that Vader would have a warped idea of love based on what his own desires rather than a mutual attraction and affection.
The beginning was very quick cut, perhaps it was a little over-cut; but it ended up being an ultimately far better film as a whole than any of the prequel films alone. Well done.
thanks the gaslighting was exactly what I was going for! He's a creep and successfully manipulates Padme into loving him. And that distortion is UA-cam's fault, it caught a copyright on that song at that part and tried to remove it I guess? And it's too late to fix because it has too many views. But I have a copy here, without the distortion: avergenceintheforce-blog.tumblr.com/
And the beginning is choppy I agree, because I tried to keep as much as I could but still keep the film to a normal film length. And I didn't want to start with the the Maul fight like a lot of other recuts. But I hit what story beats I felt important to the overall story of Anakin so I'm satisfied with it.
Its funny how nobody has ever mentioned the blue screen that got left in on every release behind quigon’s head when he dies. Like they complete;y forgot to edit in the background
I never disliked the prequels as much as most, but this Fanedit is brilliant. Great work!
Same. They really aren’t that bad.
I never even knew they were disliked. They were always my favs since I watched as a kid/teenager
Ну фак на .удачачу😂😂😂😂😂
I must say that this was nicely done....Once thought one of the parts that I missed was when Darth was told that his woman was dead. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Amazingingly edited, I've all films ,watched like most many times ,this was very enjoyable ...many thanks 🙏👍
So when Obi Wan (at 1:21:39) jumps down to face General Grievous and says :-
"HELLO THERE"
This two word welcome came about from a teacher of ours. .
He's from Liverpool and good mate of mine, before he was Adidas VP Europe, he was our lecturer in Business Studies ('88-90) working for a college we attended. .
He (T) had nicknames for all us 16yr olds on course , I was 'Nick the Man' and he was a comedic talented educated fella, whom welcomed late comers to class with...
"HELLO THERE" , it was remembered by other class mates, one whom went on to write ✍️ and wrote parts of the script for LUCAS in USA.
He remembered our lecturer T and his "Hello There " and so used it for Ewans portrayal of Obi Wan...
"Hello There ...."
I didn't think it possible but you managed to edit the first movie where it is actually good. I like the edits made. I love the fact you edited the final battle to the essential elements. I'm intriqued on the rest. I will have to favorite this and check the rest later. So far... nice work.
nah it is good buddy
Cutting out the Yoda fight cut out the heart and soul of the movie. Peace out.
Well done on the edits and you made this into an acceptable movie to watch and I know that must have been difficult to accomplish!
I think that the tatooine info is important and necessary so cutting it out isn't the best way to go about it but this is a phenomenal edit. Great video and as someone who knows what happens, I am actually really thankful that I found this!
Best Fan edit on youtube.
I think *Fall of the Jedi* is superior - just my humble opinion.
Dern Vader totally agree my yung padaone !!
One change suggestion: The Viceroy and the others of his race (can't remember name) benefit GREATLY from the Anti-Cheese Edit's technique of replacing their speech with garbled alien voices and subtitles. Seriously, it makes them WAY better.
Yeah but they have Chinese accents because they are analogy for China being the trade federation here on earth.
They are Neinmodians from Cato Nienmodia
@@ekoms108 actually they're Japanese accents
T
Yeah thats about right. It flows well. Great job!
18 minutes and that sums up episode 1. Fantastic
YAASSSSS! Awesome work editorbinks. I can finally watch this without getting a stomach ache.
Mi-a plăcut enorm acest film am vizionato prima dată în 1982 prima serie războiul stelelor la acea vreme era o revelație ❤😂🎉 păcat că nu funcționează subtitrarea în limba română 😢 mulțumesc pentru postare ❤
Thank you so much for putting this thing right.
I bet that they would greatly trade their light sabers for a giant can of Raid.
😂
This is amazing. I'm going to take my 83 year old mother, who took me to see the original at the drive-in in 1978, to see the new film. I don't want to explain everything. That way she can figure out what's going on. This very much helps by removing totally irrelevant content.
Man, you're as old as I am. I remember seeing this at a local theater with my mom for .99 cents PER person on Thursday nights in Lodi Ohio... man, what a memory
* THESE films made memories for us.
The first film needed to be included more, especially to focus less around Anakin. As much as I dislike a lot of the stuff in the first film, it is important to consider how it served to draw attention away from his significance for the later plot development surrounding him.
Wow that OPEN! BRAVO!
Jesus not even 30 minutes and this has to be the greatest thing I have ever seen!
I would’ve kept more of the Tatooine (pod racing), but axed that Geonosis Anakin/Padme video game conveyor belt scene.
