Synopsis:

This edit takes many popular fan edits of the Phantom Menace and combines their best ideas into one "ultimate cut" of the film. It's the same story you remember but streamlined: with a quicker, lighter pace and no pointless distractions.


Intentions:

While The Phantom Menace is possibly the most fanedited film of all time, no one fanedit has ever fully satisfied me. I feel they all have their strengths and weaknesses, so I set out to make a cut that curates edits from various fanedits to match my vision for the film.


Change List:

Additional Notes:

I've put an emphasis on matching the professionalism of the original edits I used as sources and wanted to make the film a suitable replacement for someone who has never seen the Phantom Menace before. While I tried to improve the storytelling and characterization through editing, I did strive to keep everything relatively 'canonical' so you can watch other Star Wars media like The Clone Wars without skipping a beat.


Other Sources:

While some of the cuts were recreated by myself, I confess that many of them were cribbed directly from the source material: the original fanedits (with permission) Fanedits used include: Hal9000’s 'Cloak of Deception' (primary source) The Phantom Editor's 'The Phantom Edit' (audio only) l8wrtr’s 'Shadow of the Sith' (inspiration only).
