Review from Kaine23.
Video: Great vintage feel to this edit. Love the Super 8 look and the added grain effects on the “film”.
Audio: No hard cuts, great use of the SW theme during scenes where there was no music (like the asteroid chase). Also enjoyed the sound of the spinning reels at the start of both parts of this edit.
Entertainment: This edit turned AOTC into a watchable 44 minute film. Love how the useless and unneeded scenes and the humor were cut out and only the important points were kept. Missing scenes were missed but fit the Super 8 MO…and no speaking jar-jar!
Editing: Great choices for points to edit. Love the new opening credits for both reels, and enjoyed how reel 2 starts after reel 1 finishes without any problems.
DVD: Great vintage trailers. Great look for the dvd menus and they look amazing.
Overall: A highly recommended fanedit that everyone should watch and add to their collections. 10 out of 10.

10 out of 10 for this!
I really like puggo’s super 8 transfers – i downloaded this on a whim really as im not really a fan of the prequel movies, but wow! i can watch this over and over!
im not very technically minded – but to me the presentation seems really well put together. I like the use of colour – or megacolor :p
colors are really saturated – is that the term?? (i can re-edit this right if i got it wrong???)
Just need the other 2 movies now! bring em on!
Good job dood!

Video
The treatment that was given to the video gives this edit a vintage feel, whether it is a true representation of how Super 8 footage degrades over time or not. I found the new look to be the perfect antidote to the digital look and excessively-used CGI of the original. 10 out of 10
Audio
There were no hard cuts. The audio was perfect — and 5.1 for those that want it. 10 out of 10
Entertainment
TMBTM has said more-or-less exactly what I feel about the plot; this is a highly entertaining edit and the feeling that there are a few missing points fits with the Super 8 feel. Some irritating aspects of AOTC are ineradicable, but their impact is effectively minimised. 8 out of 10 (original 5 out of 10)
Editing
Rogue’s editing is accomplished. The editing choices were excellent. There is little that I would have had the editor do differently. 9 out of 10
Presentation
The DVD menus look great. There are extra trailers that really are worth watching–that’s high praise from me. The choice of cover art is extensive, and it all looks fantastic. 10 out of 10
Overall
The faneditor has a vision for the edit that he sees through to completion. This is a must-see edit for everyone; Star Wars fans, casual fanedit viewers and people like me who never thought that they would enjoy watching AOTC again.
This is the best firstling I have ever seen — 10 out of 10.

REVIEW (CONTAINS SPOILERS!):
So I finally finished watching Rogue’s Attack of the Clones: The Super 8 Cut. (I know, I know, how did it take me such a long time to watch a movie that was just barely over half an hour long?!)
DVD Menu Design: I really liked the menu design. I know some people love to make(or see) very elaborate menus and others are find with simplicity. I just appreciate DVD Menus that don’t make it look like a custom dvd of home movies or something but that is just my personal preference. Anyway, I thought the menus looked very nice.
The Edit:
I really enjoyed this edit. I was really intrigued as to how Rogue would be able to pull off an edit of AOTC in less than 40 minutes. Well Mission Accomplished! Whatever magic voodoo you used, I want to buy some of it. The way it was edited left you with lots of action while maintaining a coherent plot. It’s hard to say what plot holes were “noticeable” as something like the Star Wars films are something most people are so familiar with. And since you’ve already seen the movie, your mind can kind of fill in the gaps and holes while watching a fanedit like this. But just to play devil’s advocate i think if this was my first time watching AOTC there wouldn’t be that much i felt was missing or confusing plotwise.
Full screen worked great here as did all of the effects used to changed the tint and color of the film, the film “noise” the scratches etc. This all gave it that retro feel. I was really impressed with some of the little details in this edit that may have gone unnoticed by other viewers. I think it would have been simple enough to use filters or what not, change the tint, add the scratches etc and be done with it. That would have been fine and would have still accomplished the task. But Rogue went beyond that. There were two scenes (at least two that I noticed) where there were small jump cuts. I thought this was very cleverly done and the kind of detail that just added to the retro feel of the edit. In the scene where Obi-Wan is falling from the sky in the city at night, and Anakin is trying to maneuver his speeder and catch Obi-Wan, just as Obi-Wan lands the screen goes black for a second and then the film returns to normal. Again this, i assume, was another intentional choice to make it retro and less than “pristine”. I really appreciated these little details.
Sound and Video Quality: Audio and Video editing, were great. There was nothing jarring that I noticed besides the intentional stuff.
DVD Extras: There’s really not much left to be said that hasn’t already been said in other reviews of this edit. The trailers were really great. The Enter the Dragon trailer was my personal favorite!
Rogue had a great idea and was very creative in its execution. As others have mentioned, I would be very interested in seeing the other two Star Wars prequels given a similar treatment. I look forward to your future edits Rogue!
