Comments on: Star Wars Episode II: Path to the Dark Side http://fanedit.org/14/ The wonderful world of movies - edited by fans for fans Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:32:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: geminigod http://fanedit.org/14/comment-page-1/#comment-10649 geminigod Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:06:43 +0000 http://fanedit.org/wpTF/?p=12#comment-10649 Well I did not post a rating on this because I honestly couldn't bear to watch the whole thing when I saw it had a running time of 2:20. Also, there is just no way to top the Phantom editor's version of this, which is a masterpiece, other than the video quality being a bit higher on your edit. I skimmed it quickly though. The bottom line is that so little substantial happens in this movie. It needs way more than just a few horrible dialogue lines trimmed. It needs to be cut open and lipo-suctioned like the obesely grotesque movie that it is. I look forward to seeing your clone wars edit and episode 3 edit though.

However I do have some thoughts: firstly, the switch from Padme going to bed to having Obi-Wan and Anakin running into the bar on Coruscant looking for the would-be assassin is way to abrupt. Without the assassination attempt or the chase scene, it makes the search for the maker's of the dart confusing. secondly, you need to decide on one scene that portrays Obi-Wan expressing his concerns to Yoda or Mace Windu on whether or not Anakin is ready for his first assignment. Because Mace Windu is present in both scenes, it makes Obi-Wan look like a broken record saying the same things twice. it's a pity for the deleted scenes, George Lucas didn't add the final details of the CGI, but that is beyond your control. You made the transitions between those scenes very smooth. 4/5 nice work Overall, I’m a fan of this edit. However I do have some thoughts:

There should be some wind effect in their clothed and obi's hair when they stand outside. It seems lucas couldn't afford a wind machine. Terrible scene. I'll resume my search for a good ep2 edit.

It approaches greatness in this cut. Again, ADigitalMan gives us an improved version of a flawed, good-but-not-great SW film. It approaches greatness in this cut.
