Since I'm waaay too late to the party, these edits have been around for ages, I'll just say that after having watched at least 3-4 fanedits of this movie (like HAL's, Spence's, Octoroxx etc.), this version is the one that became my go to version of the movie. I didn't like it almost at all, with the exception of some redeeming qualities like Darth Maul and Qui-Gon, so I needed an aggressive edit. This one did the job perfectly!

I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an aggressive edit of Episode 1, I assure you it will be your go-to version in the future!

Thank you L8wrtr for all your hard work and thanks to anyone who read my review!

L8wrtr deserves appreciation for their amazing work on this edit. The movie is now much more enjoyable thanks to the removal of unnecessary scenes that I personally felt didn't belong in the original version. The effort to improve the pacing and tone of the film has not gone unnoticed, and the attention to detail in the editing process is truly commendable. Watching this cut is definitely worth it, and I have officially replaced Episode 1 with this version. Thank you, L8wrtr! :-)

What else can I say that others haven't already? This is one of the best fan edits I have watched. The fan editor did have other edits that paved the way, but this one takes TPM to a new level. The movie still has flaws (8-year-old Vader being the most obvious), but this edit really makes it a better movie by at least a full star, maybe two. I got to experience a film that I have watched many times in a new way. Cut scenes are not missed. The movie flows so much more smoothly now. I agree with other reviewers that there is no reason to watch any other version of The Phantom Menace.

Awesome!!! It may benefit from further polishing although seeing as the main improvement is the step down from the overly bright, overly clean appearance that separated prequeals from the originals Im not sure. Its got low techification effects to immitate the earlier production standards, and a grittier feeling to the shots, grainier maybe - I guess like the old school film used (no expert here) - a fuzzy filter. Ive got AVCHD streaming file viewed on VLC. Maybe a bluray grade MKV will be all improvement necessary.

Its been ages since I watched these as kind of fell out of love with the Star Wars universe after its loss of homogeneity, lacking a vital sense of continuity between the films. I believe this fan edit has done what needed to be done. Less appeal to the 'family friendly' crowd with lame humour; what I was calling Disneipifcation before I understood what that really meant..... Im new here and am yet to behold a salvation of the sequels. Good start on this one!!!

Having not watched TPM for several years, this was a very refreshing way to reexperience it. The subtle changes to Anakin really improved his character and the movie. There's a lot going on in TPM, so I enjoyed the faster pace, and never felt bored. The podrace especially felt much more tense and enjoyable without the announcer or slapstick humor.
