Synopsis:
Star Wars: Abridged is meant to tell the Skywalker saga as succinctly as possible, taking all nine films and cutting them down to three. While many narrative threads remain the same, some have been vastly altered.

Intentions:
The Skywalker saga is now told over nine films and I wanted to trim that down as much as possible to create a narrative that can be watched in a single day. Narrative choices have been made to remove what I believe didn't work or created new narratives that I think work better. Most of the side quests and subplots that don't really add to the main plot have also been removed.

Change List:
The Abridged series vastly deviates from the canonical source the further you go into it but kicks off relatively the same. A lot of prequel 3-in-1s have solved many of the narrative problems and I'm standing on the shoulders of giants for Star Wars: Abridged I - The Republic. Some of the changes include eliminating almost all of The Phantom Menace except for the scene where Anakin leaves home. Qui Gon has now been recast as a Jedi recruiter in a prologue who finds Anakin on Tatooine. I've completely removed all mention of clones and have also removed the prophecy of the one who will bring balance to the force. Anakin and Padme meet for the first time in her apartment on Coruscant and with a bit of compositing, it's heavily implied they consummate their relationship. Grevious has been completely removed and much of this edit relies on a trimmed down version of Revenge of the Sith.
