Comments on: Star Wars: Attack of the Federation http://fanedit.org/5322/ The wonderful world of movies - edited by fans for fans Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:47:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: VideoHo http://fanedit.org/5322/comment-page-1/#comment-10142 VideoHo Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:10:33 +0000 http://fanedit.org/?p=5322#comment-10142 Nice fanedit. Really liked the 800MB avi, so I downloaded the DVD DL, but something is wrong with the version uploaded to rapidshare at the first fight scene on Naboo, about 16:22 into the movie and clears up about 17:25 . The rar files extract without error but playing the extracted DVD DL in powerdvd9 directly from HDD or after burning them to DVD DL, the fight is all jumbled up, I've tried exracting the rar files onto two separate partitions. Pity really. Any ideas? Nice fanedit.

Very good work. Unfortunately the later films edits from Jasonn are not so great cause of little things that i don't like, like no sand people kill (in Attack of the clones) and no LEiA (in Revenge of the sith) Other then that the edit skills are very good!

Video and Audio quality are very good. I shall look forward to your next 2 releases. 10/10 from me great edit.

None of them ever seemed to come up to scratch - none of them simply went far enough. We all know the issues, but does Jason's version finally achieve this? Well, I can say - The Force is strong with this one! Jason pretty much made public what he was doing with the film, so I knew what to expect somewhat. Audio and Audio Edit Sound was good, I detected no problems. Nice and clear. The audio edits were largely seemless. Video and Video Edit No issues. Nice clear pictures. A couple times I did note what seemed to be a quick edits, but then, I'm looking for them and I know the film. They were however minor and didn't bring me out of the film. The reviewer above states where a couple are. I noted an error in a Watto subtitle. It's where he's telling Anakin and Padme that Qui-Gonn shouldn't keep betting "I'll being owning him soon." The edit. Good - Blacking out Sidious and deepening the voice is excellent. Makes him feel like a separate character. Jar Jar has been hacked down to an absolute minimum, I barely noticed him in this edit. He no longer irritates. Anakin is trimmed down and although he's still fairly annoying, all his yippies and whoops are gone...bar one at the end of the battle......do we really need it? - No underwater fish attacks, no podrace commentary, removal of most of Sebulba - excellent. Not missed and works very well. - Boss, no ticks. - Droids - no voices. This is very effective. - Anakin deliberately piloting the ship, that has always been a good idea. Stuff not so good.... - Captain Obvious still says too many things. - A scene which I've never liked is when they all leave Tattooine. Anakin being cold, "I made this for you.", "I don't need this to remember you." "I'll always care for you..." etc etc. My god she's only just met the kid. It turns out they care about each other so much he doesn't see her for 10 years. - Big celebration at the end! I thought you'd kill that one. It's a horrible scene. Conclusion The pace of this film is spot on and it's the first time I've watched TPM without it seeming to drag ass. I enjoyed this edit more than any other edit I've seen of the film. It felt liberating not to see all the crap that's usually in it and actually enjoy it! Tommy two thumbs up from me 9/10 (For the few technical errors and the reasons above)" Review by White43:

No issues. Nice clear pictures.

A couple times I did note what seemed to be a quick edits, but then, I’m looking for them and I know the film. They were however minor and didn’t bring me out of the film. The reviewer above states where a couple are.

I noted an error in a Watto subtitle. It’s where he’s telling Anakin and Padme that Qui-Gonn shouldn’t keep betting “I’ll being owning him soon.”

The edit.

Good

Stuff not so good….
- Captain Obvious still says too many things.
- A scene which I’ve never liked is when they all leave Tattooine. Anakin being cold, “I made this for you.”, “I don’t need this to remember you.” “I’ll always care for you…” etc etc. My god she’s only just met the kid.

What was Great - Sidiuous actually being a shadow/phantom and his voice having a deeper more "sith-like" feel to it, a totally orig on your part and a perfect addition! The Alien Subtitles - they are all great and add a humor/danger whatnot to all the scenes! Anakin- again, great job keeping what worked in his performance and making him a talented kid and future Jedi rather than the *ahem* "chhoooseeennnnn ooonneeeee" ... lol Jar-Jar - wow, I barely even noticed him, awesome job!!!! He really is a second player now and blends nto the background more so than the Ewoks did in ROTJ, so great work!!! What was Good- Video quality/coloration is exactly as it appeared in the movies, barring full dvd release, but for xvid, plays great! Sound- great work!!!!!!! What stood out too much - Only one gripe and it might be me so bear that in mind, but when the Trade Federation ships land on Naboo to invade, as the tanks dispatch there is a hard cut to the Naboo Palace. I figured you were trying to cut out the Niemodians and Droids talking scene, but it seemed pretty abrupt to me PLUS we then go to Naboo Palace where the Queen says she didn't want to start a war.. seems wierd we would see the war starting before she says that, but thats my opinion. The opening crawl... LOVE The BLUE scheme, glad you kept it, but the description still reads boring Lucas style, kinda hoped you would have kept the "Slavery" being outlawed bit rather than taxation.... but oh well And of course I still really like ADM's OT music addition to the podrace scene, mostly cause it added OT Williams music and the force theme to Anakin as he fixes his pod, for my own purposes I'll prob re-edit that into the vid for my own viewing pleasure, please don't take that as a crit - I understand you wanted a true 5.1 so I completely get it, but I'm not as picky on that front and would prefer more variety in the tunes... as it stands now, there just way too much Trade Federation music being looped by ol Ben Burtt. What I could wish for - A true color fix - but were all gonna have to wait til lady gets to this for that to happen, as it stands now the colors are all pink hued and bloomed out... *sigh* not yur fault just another Lucas decision... Again phenom work JasonN!!! I know these three edits almost killed you so you deserve high praise and I truly look forward to the Episode release." Review by mystory64:
