Why would you not show Anakin slaughtering the Sand People? That was pivotal in demonstrating his rage and anger that made him prime target for Palpatine's manipulations.
I think it relied too much on the audience having seen the prequels as they are already. Right from the start, there's no reason for kid Anakin to be in one of the Naboo Starfighters. Some of the other leaps in narrative rely on the audience being aware of what was edited out. It's a valiant effort and herculean task, regardless. I applaud the work put into it. By far my FAVORITE departure was the use of the sequel trailer music over the ending montage.
Anakin makes sense flying the Starfighter. It demonstrates the early rambunctious and strong willed, forward-moving character of our later fallen hero. A perfect introduction to the same character who frequently finds himself in those kinds of situations. Well done Greg. I enjoyed this!
It would work better, perhaps, if Anakin was already at Hayden's age in that scene. We know from the OT that Anakin was a great star pilot, so it makes sense to show him in at the action from the start. It's nice that Anakin mentions Qui Gon and then we cut to Qui Gon in the saber fight.
If the person that attempted this is a child, well done, keep working on your craft. If it's anyone above the age of 15 quit and never attempt anything like this ever again.
Watching through this, adding in my 2c. The intro straight into the space battle/maul confrontation needs more explanation, whether that is from the title scroll, or screen time. I think Mace Windu telling Anakin: "dont use registered transport, travel as refugees" is required to explain the difference between the sleek elegant transport to Coruscant, and the rough, dirty transport to Naboo since its a high ranking senator. The scene where Anakin tells Padme (on Naboo in the throne room) that he is in charge of security, then having Padme tell him she knows better should be included - it would have also added on Obi Wan telling Anakin "and you will know your place" This Geonosis/Kamino arc doesnt fit in my opinion, i think the traditional Kamino with obi wan meeting Jango, Jango fleeing, and obi wan tracking Jango to Geonosis (so no confrontation) would have been a better choice. C3P0 recognising Padme should have been cut, since it hasnt been shown that C3P0 has met Padme before. The seen where Anakin tells Padme she needs to stay with Owen/Beru should have been cut directly to Anakin leaving on the speeder. Anakin slaughtering the Tuskens should have been kept, showed the anger inside him, and him tapping into the dark side, his hatred for the sand people. Anakin saying "he killed them all" should have been kept, further reinforcing his hatred" Dooku telling kenobi "I can assure you, there are no bounty hunters here" should be kept so he answers Kenobi's question/tries to mislead kenobi. Anakin telling "smoke stacks, we can land there" (or whatever the line is) should have been kept, shows that he has a vast mechanical knowledge, and the scale of the droid manufacturing. More of the execution arena, lots of cuts with the characters all over the place The scene where padme's back is sliced should be there to explain why her back is cut up The scene where the chanceller is granted emergency powers and creates an army is needed, and some of the Kamino arc to explain the clones/Jango's significance. Dooku leaving the hanger on a speeder, the gunship intercepting Dooku, Dooku waving off his fighters, cut to Anakin & Kenobi jumping of the gunship, then it is destroyed by the fighters. I think this is needed to explain how Anakin/Kenobi got to Dooku. A lot of Anakin/padme wedding could have been cut. EP3 Need some transition between EP2&3 Dooku bringing the platform down on Kenobi could have been cut, same with Anakin pulling Kenobi out from under, but still keeping Dooku forcing Kenobi into the railing and Anakin's "he seems to be all right". Anything relating to how they took the bridge of the ship should be there, instead of finding it vacant. Anakin's dreams of padme should be audio only since there were no scenes of Anakins mother in dreams. Scene of Anakin running up the opera steps could have been cut, he was already running in the next scene to the doorway to show urgency. HOW DARE YOU REMOVE "HIGH GROUND"!!! Im torn, on one hand I think having vader crush everything around him is needed, but on the other i think adding anything else to Anakin/Vader's ending would ruin the feel. And lastly, I dont feel as though the final theme fits. I think Lucas King's 'Star Wars - Imperial March | Heroic Version | Piano & Orchestra' or something else would fit much more appropriately. Not too bad mate, A lot of unnecessary stuff, the awkward Anakin/Padme scenes have been cut which is nice. I dont feel like this takes away/missing anything overly major, it has the Star Wars Feels that the movies do. Another iteration of this cut and I think you would be right on the money. Well Bloody Done. Probably shows some of the major complaints with the Prequels, so much filler, characters that could be taken out without affecting the main storyline (RIP Grevious, Boba, and others)
Fantastic. And you're right to say this should be viewed after Empire. Watching this story before the others ruins not only the surprise about Vader, but also the surprise about Yoda. People forget that his reveal was a surprise, too. This was a badly made trilogy, but it had some great elements that could be distilled into a good flashback. Well done.
Fleagle how does it feel to be a sheep? Have you ever analytically watched the prequels? They are good movies with Revenge being the best Star Wars movie. A new hope is actually very flawed and Return has scenes with the Ewoks that drag on forever
Yeah, nothing marks a good movie like stepping into shit, talking about sand and turning an overall good person with some rage attacks into a children murdering maniac in less then 10 minutes including the demystification of one of the greatest villain of all time.
IMO, the only reason this version "works" is because the intended viewers have already seen the prequels in their original form. A good test would be to show this cut to someone who has never seen the prequels before. If it makes sense to an impartial audience, it works great. Otherwise, I love it. Brilliant work.
I've never seen them, and it makes sense to me. The problem is that everything about the Star Wars universe is awful, because hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a blaster at your side. There is too much nonsense in the whole mix, and not enough science for my science fiction cravings. Sure, i loved episodes IV, V and VI when I was a kid, but they just don't hold up apart from Han Solo's antiheroic assertion.... which basically killed the whole thing for me, because he was absolutely right.
Taxi Rob I mean like... ow my heart. but also star wars isn’t really sci fi its a space opera. It tells a dramatic story that happens to be in space. The sci fi elements are cool and add to the mystery of the universe but are not necessarily required to make sense like star trek does (most of the time). Lightsabers are badass and symbolic but it doesn’t really matter how they work. also the “hokey religion” is absolutely a match for a blaster because they literally show just how powerful the force is against blasters, basically no one can shoot a jedi unless they’re distracted. A lightsaber isn’t a replacement for common sense but it is a very powerful weapon that only fell out of fashion because jedi were the only ones who could make them iirc
@@MrTaxiRob PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it! I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died. God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him. Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil". LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.", "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." and, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Wait, so Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon are on the Federal Planet fighting Darth Maul while Naboo fighters blow the whole thing up? Obi even takes his time to hold Qui-Gon in his arms... And Jango attacks Obis ship out of a sudden and just keeps landing on the planet though he surely knows the intruder is alive? That aside the cuts make many scenes pretty weird. Like, why is a kid in a spaceship attacking a base? or how did this 55:01 go to 55:45? Is the command central of the Invisible Hand always empty? Even during war?? Obi-Wan became a simple sidekick. he is one (if not the most) important person in Anakins life (even if the latter one wouldn't admit that). And btw you cut out nearly every meme source!
I don't understand the beginning, Why did they blow up that ship = where those people bad or is the kid in the yellow fighter the bad guy. Same with the red guy with the double sword, is he bad? He seemed like a nice guy that gets ganged up by the 2 hippies with swords. Only 15 min in so far
i loved the ending...using the Force Awakens trailer music works surprisingly well. it's such a tragic tale of love & loss. the last act of Revenge of the Sith is something I actually find hard to watch without a few tears. even though I'm 53 I'm not ashamed to admit it. the quality of Episodes 1 to 6 is still just incredible. Disney haven't got a hope of making something worthy of the Star Wars name. very good edit - there's a few bits I'd leave in like Anakin's first time losing it & slaughtering sand people who raped & killed Smee & the locket Anakin gave to Padme that you see in her hands at the funeral (it 's just a little thing but it's so sad & melancholy - it hits u that there's nothing left) but generally excellent stuff
The segment following 1:30:00 I think is some wonderful editing. Here we see a real threat, Palpatine, the dark lord of the sith, and we feel the menace there, then right after we see the Jedi winning. Without grievous there is a lack of threat from the opposition, a real sense the war is ramping down, which is seen in their victories and battles, but something feels off, as the audience knows that a larger threat is still out there, that everything is about to go wrong; so the somewhat menacing music fits perfectly to those battles. Well done.
For some one who didnt really grow up watching star wars . But as now seen all the films i injoyed this fan made film anybody who spends so much time on a project weel done 👏👏👍
Mace Windu- A sith lord? Thats impossible. The sith have been extinct for thousands of years Palpatine- Allow us to introduce ourselves *Maul and Dooku walk behind*
Say what you want this edit is definitely not for new viewers of the trilogy, i happened to enjoy this. Some parts i wish weren't cut but oh well i didn't make this. Good job editor!
Seeing how you were able to knock out 90% of Anikan's horrible acting and still make this a quality mash up of the first three episodes is quite a feat. Well done.
I like this as a noir edit, in particular the opening sequence and the transition between the end of episode 2 and beginning of episode 3. I think in the opening crawl when referring to the space battle around Naboo you could have mentioned Anakin as a child prodigy pilot of something to that effect. I would not have cut out Anakin's slaughter of tusken raiders, that is all.
Just finished watching, and I have to say the editor DID accomplish what he set out to do. Now, I do think the story does work best as a trilogy, warts and all, if you had to compress it into one film, this was probably close to the best you could do. It left out a few key points and plot-lines, but overall it tells the story well. If I had seen this before seeing the trilogy, I might have been confused at certain points, and it could use some sort of transition to show the passage of time, but as just a straight edit without any added effects, it's good.
They DID NOT. Stop Using your burner! If it was acceptable they would have 1,000,000 likes PLUS! Look at how many watched it and only a fraction of them like it! If only they would let us see the amount of downvotes again!
Yeah he did. This is miles better than the prequels as they were edited. Folks who love the prequels will disagree and give down votes I guess. @@thedon1570
The Phantom Menace stuff would be confusing to someone not familiar with the film. Who's the little kid? There's no reference at all. You've got Obi saying, "There's Kamino" and he lands somewhere else. I stopped watching there.
David Curry Yeah, Obi Wan is supposed to be going to Kamino, as all the previous scenes were building up to that. The he shows Obi Wan chasing Jango and Bobba Fett thru the rings of Geonosis.
I agree. While Ep 1 can be 'trimmed' for sure... cutting as much as 15/20min out, this edit cuts way to much Only 10min of 1.. that's crazy. Its a good 'fast forward' if your a fan going to see ep 8 this year and what to get through it quickly. But new people would be lost. Only thing 2 needs cut is that droid factory scenes... 3 is fine as is.
My few “complaints” if you ever want to do another alternate cut: The sand people sequence should have been included somehow and at least a little context with qui gon and young anakin… The deleted scenes with Padme’s family would’ve been a nice touch too and I feel like Grievous was cut pretty heavy? However, I’m knitpicking. This is my second favorite fan edit (following one that cuts ROTS, it’s deleted scenes, the clone wars, & parts of the bad batch S1 premiere) so seriously, props to the editing. My favorite artistic type of change was the “silent” ending more reminiscent of the originals. It explained without it having to be said there. A very good edit/fan cut from someone with all of them in just about every format down to records with the movies audio & a narrator… 😂. This is what I’d show someone if they didn’t want to sit through all the prequels at this point or to get them interested.
The killing of the Sand People were, actually, pretty integral to his path to the Dark Side, IMO. Also, while Yoda's fight with Dooku was kind of cheesy as rendered, it did solidify Yoda's prowess with the lightsaber. And, come on...the high ground... Kudos for the minimization of Jar Jar :)
Could it have been the violence? He also edited the slaughter of the Vice Roys, the attack at the Jedi Temple and most of the fight between Anakin and Obi Wan. A bit too much editting of key points.
I think this was an interesting take on the prequel trilogy. There were a few missed points but overall is covers the main story of the prequels. Good job
I really enjoyed this for the most part, I LOVED the edit at 1:10:55 that was a really cool transition between episodes 2 and 3. I personally wish the death of Anakin's mother and her funeral weren't cut down so much. Also, it was a pretty bold choice to gut all of General Grievous, but it surprisingly worked for the context of this edit. I also think it was a mistake to cut the rise of the empire montage that intercuts with Anakin slaughtering the separatists, I definitely would've kept that in. The opening is a little awkward, but I don't think all of the comments are giving this version (and the audience) enough credit. The opening crawl perfectly makes it clear who the jedi are and the Sith they are fighting. The opening crawl just needed to be a bit longer. And yeah, we don't know why a kid is in a spaceship. But then we see a jedi master die, and his dying wish to his apprentice is "train the boy". After that, we see the masters funeral and his apprentice telling the same boy we saw in the space battle that he will be a jedi. So, we know everything we need to know about these characters in just a few minutes. You just have to keep watching for a few minutes to understand the full context of what is going on. This edit reminded me of epics like Excalibur that span many years over the course of just one film. It can be done, I just think this cut would've benefited from an extra 20 minutes or so. But trimming down a lot of the jar jar stuff and the bad love dialogue was nice, that always helps. If this version was over 3 hours long, I would start it with Queen Amidala and the jedi arriving on tatooine, since that's pretty much where the story really starts honestly. But how DARE you cut out Obi wans famous line about the HIGH GROUND! You can't mess with the high ground, it's so essential! You live and die by the high ground. High ground is love, high ground is life...
I did like the high ground bit , but, apparently according to the myth buster guys on their Star Wars special , it doesn’t matter wether you are on higher ground or not and it mostly seemed to actually favour the low ground in a fight!
Only a couple of minutes in, and I'm not digging this edit. Don't care for the quick "Old Republic Jedi" montage before the opening crawl. Aesthetically, not SW at all. The music during the action sequences has "climax" written all over it (as it was intended by John Williams), and doesn't at all fit an opening scene. Then, we see a little boy piloting a space fighter. We don't know that he's Anakin Skywalker at this point, let alone have any idea why he is engaged in battle in a starfighter. The lack of context is way too jarring.
Very interesting cut (so far). Though if I was watching this for the first time, it probably would have been good to have a short summary in the credits of who Anikin is and why he s randomly in the assault on the trade federation.
Thank you for the gift! You have transformed the Star Wars prequels into the glory they should have been. Beautiful ... I have always disliked the prequels but here you have made them shine. Your choices were outstanding ... The only suggestion I might make is a touch more narrative clarity in the first 30 min or so .. Adieu, mon amis.
Much was cut. No doubt. But, its free. Its edited together quite well. Im sick and off work, and im really enjoying this. Unlike many comments, im thankful i can watch this when i dont feel well. Thanks for a job well done. As the great master Yoda would say. Listen not to bad comments..for sad inside they are. Everything now they want. Appreciation for nothing they have.
You actually made these movies entertaining! Though if I hadn't seen them already I think I would have been lost (who is this kid? who is this older kid? who is this senator? how does she know him? etc.). Wonder if there is one more fine cut happy medium that gets the necessary exposition across but still moves as well as this video. Loved how the climax of Phantom Menace was used as a slam-bang James Bond style opening.
This shows why it needed to be broken into parts. Everything is way too rushed, even if you were viewing it as it's own movie: the love story, the war, Obi Wan and Anakin's relationship, etc. I already thought it would have been better to combine the first two movies into one, keep the 3rd the same, while the second could expand more on the Clone Wars and the story as a whole. Thankfully there's the tv series to cover that, though.
Yeah, you can't shove a war with complex themes, characters and plots into 2 and a half hours... Although the senate scenes may be boring, they are important to understanding the political climate at the time...
Josh Siegel A Vader origin amidst the Clone Wars could easily be done in 100 minutes, it’s just it would need to be entirely reworked from the ground up. Kudos to fan-editors for trying and making something experimental and constructive though.
@@seanglendenning8164 does anyone think a star wars live action netflix series would be awesome? i mean it could be kinda like clone wars is a anthology series so it can take place in different parts and times in the vast star wars universe..think of all the great in depth stories there are or have yet to have set up that only a high budget fleshed out series can do! & it really gives them time for great stories and character development they couldnt do in a film, i only ask that they have great writers on it and stay true to the characters and source material...THEY CAN TRULY HIT THE JACkPOT if they do it right
Best fan edit out there. Good job, started off curious and couldn't stop watching... although I don't agree with every edit of course, its pure genius work...
The betrayal of the Jedi Order mirrors the betrayal of the Knights Templars by the King of France, the Pope and other monarchs of Europe. The parallels between the Templars and the Jedi are marked and clear.
Disney didn't do the prequel that was done before Disney got it's hands on the Franchise but i Agree Disney could have done a Better Job than what they did how can we fix their mess it's almost as if Disney wanted to destroy this franchise like a few others it messed up before they creators decided to take back their product and fix what Disney messed up in the first place
Rogue One is really good. I liked it at least. It was the good kind of weird where it took chances on how crazy a galaxy with strange creatures and aliens actually exist along side humans and not be Star Trek about it. @@Sigma.6
Too much is cut from the opening. No discovery of Annakin..We don't know who Qui Gon is so his death seems lack luster. This should have started with the hangar seen. The shot of Maul removing his cloak and igniting both blades is iconic.
I enjoyed this immensely! Obviously from the comments, everyone has their own favorite parts and would leave in or take out slightly different things, but your take on the prequel trilogy reminded me why i loved Star Wars and gave me the entire range of emotions i remembered. It flew by too-- At this point, trimming the fat on those first two films, especially, really helps the story move.......I think with another pass on the scripts and the right edit, the prequels could have as good as the originals....its a shame George didnt let others help him like he did with the OT. But whatever--- they still have the heart and message of Star Wars...with wonderful characters -- lovable heroes and sinister villains.....the new Disney Star Wars lacks everything that made these films special..... Thanks Again for your work!
Something like this could potentially work but not this way. Right off the bat we see little Ani and R2 in battle with zero introduction or setup. If you want to start off with the Maul battle, you'd have to cut out any scenes with Ani, and then find a way to reintroduce him on Tattoine later. Probably not possible without shooting nw scenes or at minimum dubbing in new audio.
Never mind the Jar Jar is a Sith theory, Obi Wan was playing (trolling) both sides the whole time. He argues with all the good guys in almost every scene. Even Yoda. I think in the first three he was mainly trolling the Jedi (and GG) and in 4,5 and 6 (and the TV series) it's the Sith. Look at the fight in ANH. And the TV series - he completely trolls him in the escape scene too with the decoy ship. Nobody is that pure unless they're doing it ironically - Obi Wan wasn't even on the council what does he care?
This is fantastic. It's like you watched Mr. Plinkett's reviews of the prequel trilogy and cut out as much of the shit as possible. I find it funny that you managed to mash the first 2 into an hour, but then show most of ep 3. Awesome job, I'll be watching this whenever I marathon Star Wars from now on.
Of the prequel fan-edits, this one is possibly the best. A few things I would possibly do differently, if I had the time and resources. I would have a "ten years later" subtitle at the beginning, and possibly a "three years later" near the halfway point for consistency. I definitely am glad you got rid of a lot of the "I hate sand" scene and "I'm haunted by the kiss" scene. I would probably insert in a deleted scene from Attack of the Clones where Anakin and Padmé visit her family, and she talks with her sister about how they seem to have feelings for each other. I'd also delete the stuff about looking for a missing planet. It isn't really necessary now, and makes things a little inconsistent. Having critiqued all the weaknesses, I definitely have to say it's overall really good. I usually am fond of them just having the Obi-Wan and Qui-Gonn scene at the beginning for these fan edits, but including Anakin destroying the control ship is possibly the best way to show the contrast between him and Darth Vader.
My opinions have changed since seeing this. I think an edit of Attack of the Clones with this Phantom Menace beginning would be great, but Revenge of the Sith is actually a pretty good movie. With it being a full movie, I possibly take back what I said about the missing planet story.
Just remember you can’t please everyone. I thought you did a really good job with the pacing and got the most relevant story/plot lines. You even made the love story bearable. You hit the emotional beats. I’m still wondering how to incorporate TPM stuff into Act 1 as none of the fan edits were able to make that transition smooth. It’s still clunky right now. But A for effort. Thanks.
Ah yes Anakin slaughtering the sand people wasn't important at all 🤣 I could go on about how many of Anakin's good scenes were cut but that one's the most insulting
Good edit. Nice for those of us that watched the prequels growing up but dont have the time/patience to sit through 6+ hours of soap opera schlock. Just under 2.5 hours of frantically paced action schlock is more like it 👌
This was incredibly well done. I actually enjoyed this film. I seen what you were going for and it all felt very cohesive. Everything linked and connected together really well. Anakin was really sympathetic and even the fights were more enjoyable. That opening I found really clever. It introduced us to this world of a Jedi republic with space battles. The Clones were the republic army instead of some kimino douchebags. You almost believe palpatin now. You feel a little sorry for Anakin, just this was good. When you see this you see that the movies had good ideas but if you had all the original footage you could clearly splice a decent movie out of it. going back the original test cut of Star Wars people said it made no sense and when you watch the black and white footage, it doesn't. Lucas is not a good director but he has amazing ideas. Someone else edited Star Wars and it was amazing when it could have been really cheesey. This was a tragedy and even Yoda pulling out a lightsaber felt special and unique. We see him fight twice and when he fights there is still Gravity and limits to the conflict. The text crawl was ok but considering you had to frankenstein movie footage this was really enjoyable, 9/10 will actively promote this video to star wars fans
honestly, i feel like removing most of Phantom Menace just kills most of anakins character, someone who had never seen star wars before would have no idea about any of what anakin is doing, like what his relation to any of the characters is, especially padme
Disagree entirely. Anakins character changes so much in ten years that it doesn't really matter. In the beginning of episode its pretty simply to understand that this young man has the hots for padme and that he already resents obi wan. No other character from the Phantom Menace really shows up or matters. Honestly you could just skip the first film entirely and miss nothing of value.
Someone makes a two and a half hour long edit of what is about 6 hours worth of movies. Person in the comment section: "But there is this scene that is missing!" Another person in the comment section:"Also this scene is missing!" ME: -_-
This is a nice thing for people who don’t like the prequels Me personally I do like the prequels So I like the thought of helping people enjoy the prequels that don’t And I subscribed and liked the video for that However a lot of the important things are cut out The introduction of Darth maul and the war against the queen is very important to the story It tells us about padmes character how brave and frightful she is This is important because she’s the mother of Luke and Lea future wife of anskin Anakin being a slave is very important because it shows the tragedy It shows that even tho he has this horrible life he’s still innocent And is still a good person who wants to help people Qui-gon and obi-wan finding out that anakin is the chosen one is very important aswell It confirms to the characters he is who they think he is and doesn’t leave open questions Just because there’s a chance the audience might know the answers doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be explained just in case Showing anakin be rejected being trained is very important as well it shows how the Jedi are so corrupt and so by the book they won’t even train the chosen one Having the fight between Darth maul and at the beginning is cool but it ruins the important meaning of the scene This fight is the FATE of anakins legacy having it at the very start of the movie in dose that because you don’t know how important this fight is because you haven’t witnessed qui-gon fighting for anakin to be trained by him and to be set free Taking out the scene where obi-wan is BEGGING yoda at this point to train anakin And yoda STILL saying no And obi-wan saying he will train him no matter what Again just takes out showing that the Jedi are corrupt even in qui-gons death they still say no they only change their mind because obi-wan will do it no matter the consequences he gave qui-gon his word Removing jar jar YES even jar jar destroys the spirit of the film that gorge Lucas created It’s a kids movie it should be kept as a kids movie if Star Wars isn’t a kids movie it’s no longer the same Star Wars Removing all the whiny scenes of anakin ruins his show of character It ruins his turns to the dark side now it looks like it comes out of nowhere Taking away the scene where anakin says he hates sand Is taking away the tragedy of him being a slave However because he’s not shown as a slave in this movie I guess it works But it makes it more unlikely he would turn to the dark side This part is in but people don’t really understand it When padme says she loves anakin She’s not lying she’s being serious They had a connection from being young but in this movie it’s taken out so now it seams like it’s random and comes of as manipulating anakin to try and make him risk his life for her but that’s not true at all Another thing missing is the clone scene this is very important it explains the clones and the clone war Another thing missing is jar jar granting palpatine the Senate this is very important without this palatine is in no power to win the war Context is everything Apart from all this the movie is decent and is really nice thing to do for people but the original movies were done perfectly for the story If the things you don’t like are missing the story no longer makes sense because of context
Great effort. A much better version of the prequel films. Especially the ending is strong. Great intercutting of birth and Vader transformation. Final montage is epic. Thanks. The crap has been reduced to a minimum!
10 minutes in and this is so much better. Great concept: what if I just cut ALL the exposition dialogue. And I’ll be damned: 1000% better, enjoyable even.
This was a really well done edit. Some scenes did not flow so well, because of slight missing context, but otherwise, it really is a superb effort. Enjoyed watching it.
Dude... this version is way more mature! The only pacing/exposition elements that are wonky were obviously just due to the fact that you could only edit and not add footage. Hats off, man!
You left out a few parts that I loved...especially where Anakin killed the sand people and Vader overlooking the death star with palpatine. But that ending? The way you changed the ending and included the music from the trailer for episode 7...that was fuckin BEAUTIFUL. seriously it brought tears to my eyes. Overall, it was a very well mapped out version. Nice job.
I think that you did a fantastic job. Now, there are some editorial choices which are tough to swallow, but completely understandable in the interest of brevity. Honestly, the way that you finished up was certainly superior to the original episode three. It was heavy, painful and deeply sad. Honestly, I'd be interested in seeing how you'd edit up each movie in the prequel trilogy to make them each more powerful in the context of the overall ark.

Why did you cut "What About The Droid Attack on the Wookiees"
That is a key point of the whole franchise
Patrick Star He's right, it's a system they couldn't afford to lose.
It actually brings nothing to the Skywalker / Jedi narrative. It was useless.
@ mglmousers joke went over your head as well...WOOOOOOSH.
Probably because they didn't have good relations with the Wookies
because he is an idiot
lol having no context for a kid fighter pilot is great
Lol starting Ani in the cockpit with no context is a huge "wtf is a child doing in a war zone?" moment
I watch it like I've never seen Star Wars before, and I was telling myself, who is this kid and laughing my ass off

Having the first scene be Maul vs Obi Wan and Qui Gon was genius could you imagine going to see that in cinemas and this being the first scene
Building up to that point made it way cooler for me.... we didn't even get to see the iconic part where he surprises you with the double blade
Also we have no idea who Qui-gon is and how pivotal his death affects Anakin’s training.
@@heckr0125 or anakin's childhood as a slave, and his attachment to his mother which was like, you know, a big deal
It's a fun idea for an edit that just wouldn't work in reality
This is horrible. How can you start the movie with the finale? Not to mention a snot nosed kid flying a fighter with no explanation
"and make complete sense to the viewer." The cut is so rough that if you are not a fan you will not get it at all.
Bro, the only reason "we" are here is bc we are fans. I want to watch a 2 hour edited cut from someone else's pov. I'm glad that corny stuff got cut
Why would you not show Anakin slaughtering the Sand People? That was pivotal in demonstrating his rage and anger that made him prime target for Palpatine's manipulations.
Exactly...I stoped watching there.
End Of Fate same here. Lost interest after that.
guys he shows it like 5 minutes after would, this is supposed to be a neo noir take of star wars not the anger action fulled one
Guro Jerome Teague I think the same thing
its in the other one that goes in chronic-logical order.
"I have the high ground" isn't here so I basically just wasted 2 and a half hours.
Funny, he didn’t against Maul!
Isint that in the battle between obi wan and annakin in revenge of the sith?
😂😂😂 we all wasted our time
@@KimberlyMitchell-jf7nv ouch!
it was free content. cry more, nerd.
I think it relied too much on the audience having seen the prequels as they are already. Right from the start, there's no reason for kid Anakin to be in one of the Naboo Starfighters. Some of the other leaps in narrative rely on the audience being aware of what was edited out.
It's a valiant effort and herculean task, regardless. I applaud the work put into it.
By far my FAVORITE departure was the use of the sequel trailer music over the ending montage.
Anakin makes sense flying the Starfighter. It demonstrates the early rambunctious and strong willed, forward-moving character of our later fallen hero. A perfect introduction to the same character who frequently finds himself in those kinds of situations. Well done Greg. I enjoyed this!
It would work better, perhaps, if Anakin was already at Hayden's age in that scene. We know from the OT that Anakin was a great star pilot, so it makes sense to show him in at the action from the start. It's nice that Anakin mentions Qui Gon and then we cut to Qui Gon in the saber fight.
Agreed
@@thejoin4687 Dawg... He was the chosen one
@@thejoin4687if the two people are actually the same person
If the person that attempted this is a child, well done, keep working on your craft. If it's anyone above the age of 15 quit and never attempt anything like this ever again.
All I see is film scenes from episode 1,2, and 3 put together into one video.
I've seen the prequels and this edit made absolutely no sense
The prequels choreography and saber fights were insanely talented displays
Watching through this, adding in my 2c.
The intro straight into the space battle/maul confrontation needs more explanation, whether that is from the title scroll, or screen time.
I think Mace Windu telling Anakin: "dont use registered transport, travel as refugees" is required to explain the difference between the sleek elegant transport to Coruscant, and the rough, dirty transport to Naboo since its a high ranking senator.
The scene where Anakin tells Padme (on Naboo in the throne room) that he is in charge of security, then having Padme tell him she knows better should be included - it would have also added on Obi Wan telling Anakin "and you will know your place"
This Geonosis/Kamino arc doesnt fit in my opinion, i think the traditional Kamino with obi wan meeting Jango, Jango fleeing, and obi wan tracking Jango to Geonosis (so no confrontation) would have been a better choice.
C3P0 recognising Padme should have been cut, since it hasnt been shown that C3P0 has met Padme before.
The seen where Anakin tells Padme she needs to stay with Owen/Beru should have been cut directly to Anakin leaving on the speeder.
Anakin slaughtering the Tuskens should have been kept, showed the anger inside him, and him tapping into the dark side, his hatred for the sand people.
Anakin saying "he killed them all" should have been kept, further reinforcing his hatred"
Dooku telling kenobi "I can assure you, there are no bounty hunters here" should be kept so he answers Kenobi's question/tries to mislead kenobi.
Anakin telling "smoke stacks, we can land there" (or whatever the line is) should have been kept, shows that he has a vast mechanical knowledge, and the scale of the droid manufacturing.
More of the execution arena, lots of cuts with the characters all over the place
The scene where padme's back is sliced should be there to explain why her back is cut up
The scene where the chanceller is granted emergency powers and creates an army is needed, and some of the Kamino arc to explain the clones/Jango's significance.
Dooku leaving the hanger on a speeder, the gunship intercepting Dooku, Dooku waving off his fighters, cut to Anakin & Kenobi jumping of the gunship, then it is destroyed by the fighters. I think this is needed to explain how Anakin/Kenobi got to Dooku.
A lot of Anakin/padme wedding could have been cut.
EP3
Need some transition between EP2&3
Dooku bringing the platform down on Kenobi could have been cut, same with Anakin pulling Kenobi out from under, but still keeping Dooku forcing Kenobi into the railing and Anakin's "he seems to be all right".
Anything relating to how they took the bridge of the ship should be there, instead of finding it vacant.
Anakin's dreams of padme should be audio only since there were no scenes of Anakins mother in dreams.
Scene of Anakin running up the opera steps could have been cut, he was already running in the next scene to the doorway to show urgency.
HOW DARE YOU REMOVE "HIGH GROUND"!!!
Im torn, on one hand I think having vader crush everything around him is needed, but on the other i think adding anything else to Anakin/Vader's ending would ruin the feel.
And lastly, I dont feel as though the final theme fits. I think Lucas King's 'Star Wars - Imperial March | Heroic Version | Piano & Orchestra' or something else would fit much more appropriately.
Not too bad mate, A lot of unnecessary stuff, the awkward Anakin/Padme scenes have been cut which is nice. I dont feel like this takes away/missing anything overly major, it has the Star Wars Feels that the movies do. Another iteration of this cut and I think you would be right on the money. Well Bloody Done.
Probably shows some of the major complaints with the Prequels, so much filler, characters that could be taken out without affecting the main storyline (RIP Grevious, Boba, and others)
> distilled version that would "stand on its own and make complete sense to the viewer"
> begins with a child in the middle of a space dogfight
Fantastic. And you're right to say this should be viewed after Empire. Watching this story before the others ruins not only the surprise about Vader, but also the surprise about Yoda. People forget that his reveal was a surprise, too. This was a badly made trilogy, but it had some great elements that could be distilled into a good flashback. Well done.
These are good people Padme. You’ll be safe.” Hey Anikan they didn’t keep your mama safe.
Did you seriously cut out the entire planet of Kamino? What the hell? That's kind of important to the whole plot of the trilogy!
Suddenly there's a clone army.
Fleagle how does it feel to be a sheep? Have you ever analytically watched the prequels? They are good movies with Revenge being the best Star Wars movie. A new hope is actually very flawed and Return has scenes with the Ewoks that drag on forever
Right, because completely destroying the plot makes the movie better, somehow...?
Yeah, nothing marks a good movie like stepping into shit, talking about sand and turning an overall good person with some rage attacks into a children murdering maniac in less then 10 minutes including the demystification of one of the greatest villain of all time.
@@TheGukos I don't know if you missed it, somehow, but it was not a subtle transition.
And the transition WAS there.
IMO, the only reason this version "works" is because the intended viewers have already seen the prequels in their original form. A good test would be to show this cut to someone who has never seen the prequels before. If it makes sense to an impartial audience, it works great. Otherwise, I love it. Brilliant work.
I've never seen them, and it makes sense to me. The problem is that everything about the Star Wars universe is awful, because hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a blaster at your side. There is too much nonsense in the whole mix, and not enough science for my science fiction cravings. Sure, i loved episodes IV, V and VI when I was a kid, but they just don't hold up apart from Han Solo's antiheroic assertion.... which basically killed the whole thing for me, because he was absolutely right.
Taxi Rob I mean like... ow my heart. but also star wars isn’t really sci fi its a space opera. It tells a dramatic story that happens to be in space. The sci fi elements are cool and add to the mystery of the universe but are not necessarily required to make sense like star trek does (most of the time). Lightsabers are badass and symbolic but it doesn’t really matter how they work.
also the “hokey religion” is absolutely a match for a blaster because they literally show just how powerful the force is against blasters, basically no one can shoot a jedi unless they’re distracted. A lightsaber isn’t a replacement for common sense but it is a very powerful weapon that only fell out of fashion because jedi were the only ones who could make them iirc
@@MrTaxiRobThat's because these aren't sci-fi movies and have never claimed to be.
@@MrTaxiRob PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it!
I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died.
God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him.
Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible.
The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil".
LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.", "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." and, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
15:22 "Don't forget: she's a politician and they are not to be trusted." Sage, Obi-Wan.
Wait, so Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon are on the Federal Planet fighting Darth Maul while Naboo fighters blow the whole thing up? Obi even takes his time to hold Qui-Gon in his arms...
And Jango attacks Obis ship out of a sudden and just keeps landing on the planet though he surely knows the intruder is alive?
That aside the cuts make many scenes pretty weird. Like, why is a kid in a spaceship attacking a base? or how did this 55:01 go to 55:45?
Is the command central of the Invisible Hand always empty? Even during war??
Obi-Wan became a simple sidekick. he is one (if not the most) important person in Anakins life (even if the latter one wouldn't admit that).
And btw you cut out nearly every meme source!
I don't understand the beginning, Why did they blow up that ship = where those people bad or is the kid in the yellow fighter the bad guy. Same with the red guy with the double sword, is he bad? He seemed like a nice guy that gets ganged up by the 2 hippies with swords. Only 15 min in so far
Ryan Hamilton I can’t tell if this is a joke or not.
You serious?
lololol)))
LazyOctopus no, he’s right. This doesn’t work as an edit
Omfg this comment made my day
i loved the ending...using the Force Awakens trailer music works surprisingly well.
it's such a tragic tale of love & loss. the last act of Revenge of the Sith is something I actually find hard to watch without a few tears. even though I'm 53 I'm not ashamed to admit it.
the quality of Episodes 1 to 6 is still just incredible. Disney haven't got a hope of making something worthy of the Star Wars name.
very good edit - there's a few bits I'd leave in like Anakin's first time losing it & slaughtering sand people who raped & killed Smee & the locket Anakin gave to Padme that you see in her hands at the funeral (it 's just a little thing but it's so sad & melancholy - it hits u that there's nothing left)
but generally excellent stuff
Wow wow wow wow wow what? They've never r*ped Shmi c'mon
Ian McDiarmid is truly amazing as the Emperor.. They really should make a movie with him before it's too late.
I wish disney never saw this comment 😅
@@MikeHunt-ml5wf Me too!
I still feel this!
No, they really shouldn't :/
@@MikeHunt-ml5wfwith guys who did „Rogue One“ and „Andor“ it could be an absolute banger of a movie.
The segment following 1:30:00 I think is some wonderful editing. Here we see a real threat, Palpatine, the dark lord of the sith, and we feel the menace there, then right after we see the Jedi winning. Without grievous there is a lack of threat from the opposition, a real sense the war is ramping down, which is seen in their victories and battles, but something feels off, as the audience knows that a larger threat is still out there, that everything is about to go wrong; so the somewhat menacing music fits perfectly to those battles. Well done.
I'm so engrossed watching this I forgot it's a full prequel edit. I felt like I was watching a single new film. Brilliant editing. I love it.
For some one who didnt really grow up watching star wars . But as now seen all the films i injoyed this fan made film anybody who spends so much time on a project weel done 👏👏👍
I've never thought about it but YES, it is very Shakespearean!
Mace Windu- A sith lord? Thats impossible. The sith have been extinct for thousands of years
Palpatine- Allow us to introduce ourselves
*Maul and Dooku walk behind*
Say what you want this edit is definitely not for new viewers of the trilogy, i happened to enjoy this. Some parts i wish weren't cut but oh well i didn't make this. Good job editor!
Seeing how you were able to knock out 90% of Anikan's horrible acting and still make this a quality mash up of the first three episodes is quite a feat. Well done.
I like this as a noir edit, in particular the opening sequence and the transition between the end of episode 2 and beginning of episode 3. I think in the opening crawl when referring to the space battle around Naboo you could have mentioned Anakin as a child prodigy pilot of something to that effect. I would not have cut out Anakin's slaughter of tusken raiders, that is all.
Why did you cut out the Sand People Massacre ?????? no beauno
Michael Murgida rong movie
Can you even spell. It is the right film. Sand People Massacre was in Episode 2. Best part.
To be fair, Michael spelled bueno as beauno, so they are both bad at spelling.
beano*
Michael Murgida agreed, I feel that scene with Shmi was the best storytelling in Episode II.
Just finished watching, and I have to say the editor DID accomplish what he set out to do. Now, I do think the story does work best as a trilogy, warts and all, if you had to compress it into one film, this was probably close to the best you could do. It left out a few key points and plot-lines, but overall it tells the story well. If I had seen this before seeing the trilogy, I might have been confused at certain points, and it could use some sort of transition to show the passage of time, but as just a straight edit without any added effects, it's good.
They DID NOT. Stop
Using your burner! If it was acceptable they would have 1,000,000 likes PLUS! Look at how many watched it and only a fraction of them like it! If only they would let us see the amount of downvotes again!
Yeah he did. This is miles better than the prequels as they were edited. Folks who love the prequels will disagree and give down votes I guess. @@thedon1570
The ending was far superior (both music & timing)
Thank you for this videos you’re the best because I love anakin saga and almost the Star Wars saga!
The Phantom Menace stuff would be confusing to someone not familiar with the film. Who's the little kid? There's no reference at all. You've got Obi saying, "There's Kamino" and he lands somewhere else. I stopped watching there.
David Curry
Yeah, Obi Wan is supposed to be going to Kamino, as all the previous scenes were building up to that. The he shows Obi Wan chasing Jango and Bobba Fett thru the rings of Geonosis.
I agree. While Ep 1 can be 'trimmed' for sure... cutting as much as 15/20min out, this edit cuts way to much Only 10min of 1.. that's crazy. Its a good 'fast forward' if your a fan going to see ep 8 this year and what to get through it quickly. But new people would be lost. Only thing 2 needs cut is that droid factory scenes... 3 is fine as is.
he should've started from the beginning of the final action scene to get that reference point
Also where I stopped. The creation of the Clone army is essential to the plot
agreed,its not following a timeline?
What an amazing edit on the attack of the Clones lightsaber duel. The movie cut was so over choreographed, but that was perfect.
Finally a movie where the good guys won!❤❤❤❤
Isn't that every movie ever?
Badass edit bro screw all these people who don't know how to appreciate a good movie
My few “complaints” if you ever want to do another alternate cut: The sand people sequence should have been included somehow and at least a little context with qui gon and young anakin… The deleted scenes with Padme’s family would’ve been a nice touch too and I feel like Grievous was cut pretty heavy? However, I’m knitpicking. This is my second favorite fan edit (following one that cuts ROTS, it’s deleted scenes, the clone wars, & parts of the bad batch S1 premiere) so seriously, props to the editing.
My favorite artistic type of change was the “silent” ending more reminiscent of the originals. It explained without it having to be said there. A very good edit/fan cut from someone with all of them in just about every format down to records with the movies audio & a narrator… 😂. This is what I’d show someone if they didn’t want to sit through all the prequels at this point or to get them interested.
Well done! Simply well done. You have an extraordinary artistic talent. Can't imagine the amount of time it took to put this together.
The killing of the Sand People were, actually, pretty integral to his path to the Dark Side, IMO. Also, while Yoda's fight with Dooku was kind of cheesy as rendered, it did solidify Yoda's prowess with the lightsaber. And, come on...the high ground...
Kudos for the minimization of Jar Jar :)
Could it have been the violence? He also edited the slaughter of the Vice Roys, the attack at the Jedi Temple and most of the fight between Anakin and Obi Wan. A bit too much editting of key points.
I am at the beginning of episode 3 rn, and so far I love it. Great job!!!!
I think this was an interesting take on the prequel trilogy. There were a few missed points but overall is covers the main story of the prequels. Good job
I really enjoyed this for the most part, I LOVED the edit at 1:10:55 that was a really cool transition between episodes 2 and 3. I personally wish the death of Anakin's mother and her funeral weren't cut down so much. Also, it was a pretty bold choice to gut all of General Grievous, but it surprisingly worked for the context of this edit. I also think it was a mistake to cut the rise of the empire montage that intercuts with Anakin slaughtering the separatists, I definitely would've kept that in. The opening is a little awkward, but I don't think all of the comments are giving this version (and the audience) enough credit. The opening crawl perfectly makes it clear who the jedi are and the Sith they are fighting. The opening crawl just needed to be a bit longer. And yeah, we don't know why a kid is in a spaceship. But then we see a jedi master die, and his dying wish to his apprentice is "train the boy". After that, we see the masters funeral and his apprentice telling the same boy we saw in the space battle that he will be a jedi. So, we know everything we need to know about these characters in just a few minutes. You just have to keep watching for a few minutes to understand the full context of what is going on. This edit reminded me of epics like Excalibur that span many years over the course of just one film. It can be done, I just think this cut would've benefited from an extra 20 minutes or so. But trimming down a lot of the jar jar stuff and the bad love dialogue was nice, that always helps. If this version was over 3 hours long, I would start it with Queen Amidala and the jedi arriving on tatooine, since that's pretty much where the story really starts honestly. But how DARE you cut out Obi wans famous line about the HIGH GROUND! You can't mess with the high ground, it's so essential! You live and die by the high ground. High ground is love, high ground is life...
I did like the high ground bit , but, apparently according to the myth buster guys on their Star Wars special , it doesn’t matter wether you are on higher ground or not and it mostly seemed to actually favour the low ground in a fight!
Only a couple of minutes in, and I'm not digging this edit. Don't care for the quick "Old Republic Jedi" montage before the opening crawl. Aesthetically, not SW at all. The music during the action sequences has "climax" written all over it (as it was intended by John Williams), and doesn't at all fit an opening scene. Then, we see a little boy piloting a space fighter. We don't know that he's Anakin Skywalker at this point, let alone have any idea why he is engaged in battle in a starfighter. The lack of context is way too jarring.
Have to agree. If you never saw the prequels then none of this makes any sense. It's a clip show not a coherent edit to make one movie.
There’s also no indication of a time jump when it cuts to Episode 2

R2D2 was flying the Naboo fighter not the kid.
Very interesting cut (so far). Though if I was watching this for the first time, it probably would have been good to have a short summary in the credits of who Anikin is and why he s randomly in the assault on the trade federation.
Master, apprentice. Which one was destroyed? Maul. They pan over to Palpatine after, holy shit never picked that up from the scene
Thank you for the gift! You have transformed the Star Wars prequels into the glory they should have been. Beautiful ... I have always disliked the prequels but here you have made them shine.
Your choices were outstanding ... The only suggestion I might make is a touch more narrative clarity in the first 30 min or so .. Adieu, mon amis.
This helped me sleep well, and with am added woodie when i woke up. Must be the force.
The force is strong with this one😂
“There it is R4, our missing planet Kamino”

Much was cut. No doubt. But, its free. Its edited together quite well. Im sick and off work, and im really enjoying this. Unlike many comments, im thankful i can watch this when i dont feel well. Thanks for a job well done. As the great master Yoda would say. Listen not to bad comments..for sad inside they are. Everything now they want. Appreciation for nothing they have.
Appreciation for nothing they have. Master Yoda is a good master. One of my favourite characters by far. ❤🌹
Bro the segue in music at the end...amazing!!!! Well done.
Very much love the new music put in there! Very creative. Now time to aatch Kenobi!!
You actually made these movies entertaining! Though if I hadn't seen them already I think I would have been lost (who is this kid? who is this older kid? who is this senator? how does she know him? etc.). Wonder if there is one more fine cut happy medium that gets the necessary exposition across but still moves as well as this video. Loved how the climax of Phantom Menace was used as a slam-bang James Bond style opening.
This shows why it needed to be broken into parts. Everything is way too rushed, even if you were viewing it as it's own movie: the love story, the war, Obi Wan and Anakin's relationship, etc. I already thought it would have been better to combine the first two movies into one, keep the 3rd the same, while the second could expand more on the Clone Wars and the story as a whole. Thankfully there's the tv series to cover that, though.
Yeah, you can't shove a war with complex themes, characters and plots into 2 and a half hours... Although the senate scenes may be boring, they are important to understanding the political climate at the time...
I think the prequels needed more films to be fair to expand on everything as they feel rushed at times lowe cutting them down
Josh Siegel A Vader origin amidst the Clone Wars could easily be done in 100 minutes, it’s just it would need to be entirely reworked from the ground up. Kudos to fan-editors for trying and making something experimental and constructive though.
@@seanglendenning8164 does anyone think a star wars live action netflix series would be awesome? i mean it could be kinda like clone wars is a anthology series so it can take place in different parts and times in the vast star wars universe..think of all the great in depth stories there are or have yet to have set up that only a high budget fleshed out series can do! & it really gives them time for great stories and character development they couldnt do in a film, i only ask that they have great writers on it and stay true to the characters and source material...THEY CAN TRULY HIT THE JACkPOT if they do it right
Best fan edit out there. Good job, started off curious and couldn't stop watching... although I don't agree with every edit of course, its pure genius work...
Had a violet crumble in hand n my eyes where glued as mum said until the end. Never ate it as she told me,it melted all over my hand lol😂
The betrayal of the Jedi Order mirrors the betrayal of the Knights Templars by the King of France, the Pope and other monarchs of Europe. The parallels between the Templars and the Jedi are marked and clear.
You just piqued my curiosity. Thank you for that.
I couldn't take my eyes off this. Sure, some people will say it's only editing, but it's still better than anything Disney have done. 🎉😂
Disney didn't do the prequel that was done before Disney got it's hands on the Franchise but i Agree Disney could have done a Better Job than what they did how can we fix their mess it's almost as if Disney wanted to destroy this franchise like a few others it messed up before they creators decided to take back their product and fix what Disney messed up in the first place

Hi
Hi im kadgsj $$$
Too much is cut from the opening. No discovery of Annakin..We don't know who Qui Gon is so his death seems lack luster. This should have started with the hangar seen. The shot of Maul removing his cloak and igniting both blades is iconic.
As a real produced movie, it's rushed, but with what you were given, this may be the best thing uploaded to youtube
"I'm too weak! You must help me!"
Made it in, and that's really the only scene that matters.
Best Star Wars edit ever
I enjoyed this immensely! Obviously from the comments, everyone has their own favorite parts and would leave in or take out slightly different things, but your take on the prequel trilogy reminded me why i loved Star Wars and gave me the entire range of emotions i remembered.
It flew by too-- At this point, trimming the fat on those first two films, especially, really helps the story move.......I think with another pass on the scripts and the right edit, the prequels could have as good as the originals....its a shame George didnt let others help him like he did with the OT.
But whatever--- they still have the heart and message of Star Wars...with wonderful characters -- lovable heroes and sinister villains.....the new Disney Star Wars lacks everything that made these films special.....
Thanks Again for your work!
Something like this could potentially work but not this way. Right off the bat we see little Ani and R2 in battle with zero introduction or setup. If you want to start off with the Maul battle, you'd have to cut out any scenes with Ani, and then find a way to reintroduce him on Tattoine later. Probably not possible without shooting nw scenes or at minimum dubbing in new audio.
Never mind the Jar Jar is a Sith theory, Obi Wan was playing (trolling) both sides the whole time. He argues with all the good guys in almost every scene. Even Yoda. I think in the first three he was mainly trolling the Jedi (and GG) and in 4,5 and 6 (and the TV series) it's the Sith. Look at the fight in ANH. And the TV series - he completely trolls him in the escape scene too with the decoy ship. Nobody is that pure unless they're doing it ironically - Obi Wan wasn't even on the council what does he care?
This is fantastic. It's like you watched Mr. Plinkett's reviews of the prequel trilogy and cut out as much of the shit as possible. I find it funny that you managed to mash the first 2 into an hour, but then show most of ep 3.
Awesome job, I'll be watching this whenever I marathon Star Wars from now on.
Red Letter Media is cancer to anything creative. They hate everything
Sound is great. I am just now becoming a fan at 46. Look forward to seeing all your work. Thank you so very much. Enjoying it.
just amazing, not enough words to describe to perfectly you combines 3 movies into 1
I am so glad this is on UA-cam thankyou :)
Of the prequel fan-edits, this one is possibly the best. A few things I would possibly do differently, if I had the time and resources. I would have a "ten years later" subtitle at the beginning, and possibly a "three years later" near the halfway point for consistency. I definitely am glad you got rid of a lot of the "I hate sand" scene and "I'm haunted by the kiss" scene. I would probably insert in a deleted scene from Attack of the Clones where Anakin and Padmé visit her family, and she talks with her sister about how they seem to have feelings for each other. I'd also delete the stuff about looking for a missing planet. It isn't really necessary now, and makes things a little inconsistent.
Having critiqued all the weaknesses, I definitely have to say it's overall really good. I usually am fond of them just having the Obi-Wan and Qui-Gonn scene at the beginning for these fan edits, but including Anakin destroying the control ship is possibly the best way to show the contrast between him and Darth Vader.
👍
My opinions have changed since seeing this. I think an edit of Attack of the Clones with this Phantom Menace beginning would be great, but Revenge of the Sith is actually a pretty good movie. With it being a full movie, I possibly take back what I said about the missing planet story.
Just remember you can’t please everyone. I thought you did a really good job with the pacing and got the most relevant story/plot lines. You even made the love story bearable. You hit the emotional beats. I’m still wondering how to incorporate TPM stuff into Act 1 as none of the fan edits were able to make that transition smooth. It’s still clunky right now. But A for effort. Thanks.
Right, all the relevant plot. Because, you know, the mystery surrounding the creation of the clone army wasn't important.
Ah yes Anakin slaughtering the sand people wasn't important at all 🤣
I could go on about how many of Anakin's good scenes were cut but that one's the most insulting
Good edit. Nice for those of us that watched the prequels growing up but dont have the time/patience to sit through 6+ hours of soap opera schlock. Just under 2.5 hours of frantically paced action schlock is more like it 👌

So the Death Star is of Geanosian design but was built by Galen Urso?
The Geonosians were building it, but after the Republic turned into the Empire, Palptine had his regime take over the project.
So they used Gelen so they could get it work. He did not design it
The amount of effort put into this should be appreciated.
This was incredibly well done. I actually enjoyed this film. I seen what you were going for and it all felt very cohesive. Everything linked and connected together really well. Anakin was really sympathetic and even the fights were more enjoyable. That opening I found really clever. It introduced us to this world of a Jedi republic with space battles. The Clones were the republic army instead of some kimino douchebags. You almost believe palpatin now. You feel a little sorry for Anakin, just this was good.
When you see this you see that the movies had good ideas but if you had all the original footage you could clearly splice a decent movie out of it. going back the original test cut of Star Wars people said it made no sense and when you watch the black and white footage, it doesn't. Lucas is not a good director but he has amazing ideas. Someone else edited Star Wars and it was amazing when it could have been really cheesey. This was a tragedy and even Yoda pulling out a lightsaber felt special and unique. We see him fight twice and when he fights there is still Gravity and limits to the conflict.
The text crawl was ok but considering you had to frankenstein movie footage this was really enjoyable, 9/10 will actively promote this video to star wars fans
What made me laugh is that you compressed ep.1 in 5 mins 😂😂
Thank god with that jar jar thing
Cara eu deixaria o episódio 1 totalmente de fora.
honestly, i feel like removing most of Phantom Menace just kills most of anakins character, someone who had never seen star wars before would have no idea about any of what anakin is doing, like what his relation to any of the characters is, especially padme
Disagree entirely. Anakins character changes so much in ten years that it doesn't really matter. In the beginning of episode its pretty simply to understand that this young man has the hots for padme and that he already resents obi wan. No other character from the Phantom Menace really shows up or matters. Honestly you could just skip the first film entirely and miss nothing of value.
Exatamente na minha versão eu pulo o episódio 1.
Best yet. Excellent use of subtext, and letting the viewer connect the dots.
Someone makes a two and a half hour long edit of what is about 6 hours worth of movies.
Person in the comment section: "But there is this scene that is missing!"
Another person in the comment section:"Also this scene is missing!"
ME: -_-
This is a nice thing for people who don’t like the prequels
Me personally I do like the prequels
So I like the thought of helping people enjoy the prequels that don’t
And I subscribed and liked the video for that
However a lot of the important things are cut out
The introduction of Darth maul and the war against the queen is very important to the story
It tells us about padmes character how brave and frightful she is
This is important because she’s the mother of Luke and Lea future wife of anskin
Anakin being a slave is very important because it shows the tragedy
It shows that even tho he has this horrible life he’s still innocent
And is still a good person who wants to help people
Qui-gon and obi-wan finding out that anakin is the chosen one is very important aswell
It confirms to the characters he is who they think he is and doesn’t leave open questions
Just because there’s a chance the audience might know the answers doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be explained just in case
Showing anakin be rejected being trained is very important as well it shows how the Jedi are so corrupt and so by the book they won’t even train the chosen one
Having the fight between Darth maul and at the beginning is cool but it ruins the important meaning of the scene
This fight is the FATE of anakins legacy having it at the very start of the movie in dose that because you don’t know how important this fight is because you haven’t witnessed qui-gon fighting for anakin to be trained by him and to be set free
Taking out the scene where obi-wan is BEGGING yoda at this point to train anakin
And yoda STILL saying no
And obi-wan saying he will train him no matter what
Again just takes out showing that the Jedi are corrupt even in qui-gons death they still say no they only change their mind because obi-wan will do it no matter the consequences he gave qui-gon his word
Removing jar jar YES even jar jar destroys the spirit of the film that gorge Lucas created
It’s a kids movie it should be kept as a kids movie if Star Wars isn’t a kids movie it’s no longer the same Star Wars
Removing all the whiny scenes of anakin ruins his show of character
It ruins his turns to the dark side now it looks like it comes out of nowhere
Taking away the scene where anakin says he hates sand
Is taking away the tragedy of him being a slave
However because he’s not shown as a slave in this movie I guess it works
But it makes it more unlikely he would turn to the dark side
This part is in but people don’t really understand it
When padme says she loves anakin
She’s not lying she’s being serious
They had a connection from being young but in this movie it’s taken out so now it seams like it’s random and comes of as manipulating anakin to try and make him risk his life for her but that’s not true at all
Another thing missing is the clone scene this is very important it explains the clones and the clone war
Another thing missing is jar jar granting palpatine the Senate this is very important without this palatine is in no power to win the war
Context is everything
Apart from all this the movie is decent and is really nice thing to do for people
but the original movies were done perfectly for the story
If the things you don’t like are missing the story no longer makes sense because of context
I hate how good Sidious was at manipulating Anakin
Great effort. A much better version of the prequel films. Especially the ending is strong. Great intercutting of birth and Vader transformation. Final montage is epic. Thanks. The crap has been reduced to a minimum!
The reason Anakin went to the Darkside was because everyone kept calling him Annie...
I can confirmed that complete visual dictionary said Anakin turned to dark side due to Annie and Darth Annie.
Little Orphan Annie
He got his junk burned off, then became annie. Lol 😂
Tidaak Rhoma.... Cukup annie...
I think he turned to the dark side because he had blue balls and not getting any drove him crazy 😂
Been awhile since I've seen any Star Wars now that disney has it locked down. Thanks for the condensed version.
10 minutes in and this is so much better. Great concept: what if I just cut ALL the exposition dialogue.
And I’ll be damned: 1000% better, enjoyable even.
Could have used Maul's entrance when he cracks out the double sided light saber in the beginning.
I love how 90% less creepy Anakin and Padme's relationship looks in your version lol
Bruh it wasn't creepy in the original
@@clownprince_editz - Anakin acted very creepy at times
kissing
This was a really well done edit. Some scenes did not flow so well, because of slight missing context, but otherwise, it really is a superb effort. Enjoyed watching it.
No jar jar I can finally breathe watching these😊
Dude... this version is way more mature! The only pacing/exposition elements that are wonky were obviously just due to the fact that you could only edit and not add footage.
Hats off, man!
Then again, you left in "we're coming in too hot!"
Damn you, sir.
You left out a few parts that I loved...especially where Anakin killed the sand people and Vader overlooking the death star with palpatine. But that ending? The way you changed the ending and included the music from the trailer for episode 7...that was fuckin BEAUTIFUL. seriously it brought tears to my eyes. Overall, it was a very well mapped out version. Nice job.
And ALL the Jedi and Jedi Masters didn't sense such a big betrayal coming...
Natalie Portman is so freaking hot in Clone Wars,when she's not sporting her Senator gear..
Isn't she? Maybe it's just me...
Trust me when I say that it's not just you.
Ok I was worried for a minute there. No wonder Anakin was so smitten
dude she is hot period !
RandomPrecision Aww, Thank you, you’re so sweet
Computerman789
Youre mistaken, Im afraid
I haven't watched it yet but just from the reviews from my bro's a sis's I know this is going to be awesome!
I think this edit is a brilliant idea! I hope you explore it further and produce more of these. :-)
I think that you did a fantastic job. Now, there are some editorial choices which are tough to swallow, but completely understandable in the interest of brevity. Honestly, the way that you finished up was certainly superior to the original episode three. It was heavy, painful and deeply sad. Honestly, I'd be interested in seeing how you'd edit up each movie in the prequel trilogy to make them each more powerful in the context of the overall ark.
i agree great job but i NEEDED to see him kill everyone after his mom dies
