Synopsis:
The Silent Menace is The Phantom Menace completely re-imagined and re-written based entirely on the visuals and John Williams score. All dialogue is removed and replaced with subtitles, allowing for a new script, many new story elements, new character development (including backstories for major characters), and new relationships between the characters. Cutting and reordering footage allows for more logical and connected action sequences. The soundtrack is replaced by the John Williams score from The Phantom Menace, plus individual tracks from other Star Wars movies.

Intentions:
When watching a foreign movie without subtitles the viewer must re-invent the characters and story in their own imagination. By applying this exercise to The Phantom Menace, I realized I had something in mind far more entertaining than George Lucas's original script. It also fit far better with the themes, relationships and continuity of the Original Trilogy.

Change List:
Entire soundtrack replaced with music from the soundtrack album. All dialogue conveyed with subtitles (almost entirely rewritten from the original script). The podrace includes the sound design from the original movie plus music from the Attack of the Clones and the Original Trilogy soundtracks. Lots of material is cut, and all the action sequences are reordered for better storytelling and logic reasons. In total about 130 hours spent editing.

Additional Notes:
Too many cuts to list due to the nature of the edit.
