Slumberland – Episode III: Fall of the Republic

by Slumberland
This fan edit of George Lucas’s second Star Wars prequel subtly trimms conversations and actions. A lot of babbling has been removed.
member ratings:
original film name: Star Wars: Episode Three – Revenge of the Sith
film studio name :20th Century Fox / Lucas Films
Date Edit Was Released :2006
Cuts removed/added/extended :
- too many to mention, no scene was left unharmed
Conceptual improvements/advancements of edit over original:
The Galactic Republic is crumbling under attacks by Count Dooku, the
ruthless
Sith Lord. War ravages the galaxy, with no end in sight. In a daring move, General Grievous, the cyborg leader of the Separatist droid army, has swept into Coruscant and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate.
As the Separatists attempt to flee with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor…
This fan edit of George Lucas\’s third and final Star Wars prequel offers a streamlined take on Anakin Skywalker\’s fall from grace, and the subsequent birth of Darth Vader. Notable changes include an abridged rescue of the Chancellor aboard General Grievous\’s ship, edits to all scenes involving Anakin and
Padme including the complete excision of their balcony scene, the removal of
redundant or unnecessary dialogue in an effort to increase momentum, and the
jettisoning of the medical droid\’s \’will to live\’ explanation.
Few scenes have been left untouched.
Special thanks to the crew at originaltrilogy.com, Rikter, and especially my friends for their interest in the project.
And to my dad for instilling in me a frighteningly single-minded love for
Star Wars.

The tightest cut of Slumberland’s prequels, “Fall of the Republic” is what “Revenge of the Sith” should have been. Only three minor problems for me but these are minor compared to the original monstrosity Lucas released. Definitely worth getting!

most excellent cut. not yet perfect, but darn close. best cut out there, leaps and bounds above the rest.

slumberland’s PT is my current favorite and why? because his RotS edit is practically perfect. this easily remedies the lax approach to the earlier films and makes this the PT i watch and recommend. 5/5

Just a note if Slumberland ever looks – can we get some detail as to what has been removed/added in this cut?
