Faneditor Name:
Franchise:

2005
Original Running Time:

Fanedit Running Time:
128 minutes
Time Cut:
12 minutes
Synopsis:
This fan edit of George Lucas’s second Star Wars prequel subtly trims conversations and actions. A lot of babbling has been removed.
Intention:
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:
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!

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
