Synopsis:

A drastically trimmed down telling of the Star Wars prequel story. This edit combines all three Star Wars prequels into one feature length cut that removes many of the silly elements of the original films. It focuses the narrative more on Obi-Wan Kenobi and away from Anakin and Padme.


Intentions:

My love of Star Wars and disappointment with the prequel films left me little choice but to try to make my own fanedit. My only goal was to keep it fun, and as fast paced as possible. To try to give it a more simple and exciting feel closer to the spirit of the original trilogy.


Change List:

- Added new opening crawl - Cut Phantom Menace down to a 20 minute (approx.) prologue, this removes young Anakin, Tatooine, Coruscant, Jar Jar Binks, and many other elements entirely from the this edit. - Cut Kamino and the entire clone story line. - Cut Anakin and Padme on Naboo - Cut all of Jango Fett's lines, and shots of his helmet removed. Making him a more mysterious character like Boba Fett was before. - Cut the clone battle scenes on Geonosis from the end of Attack of The Clones - Cut General Grievous - Cut the battle of Kashyyyk - Trimmed the Obi-Wan vs. Anakin lightsaber duel - Rearranged scenes towards the end to hopefully create a better climax to the film Additional notes: There are many small changes throughout this edit. Little bits trimmed to try to keep the pace up, or remove silly moments. Scenes have been rearranged to keep the narrative more focused and with less cutting away to other events in the middle of the action. The Blu-ray version of this edit includes a commentary by me explaining some of my editing choices if you would like to know more.
