This edit is my cannon for Episode III, I wasnt a fan with any of the prequals but ROTS was just ok, this edit now makes it very watchable.
I tend to overlook non HD edits but this is well worth a watch and introduces newer generations to the original trilogy saga very well, it even includes an alternate opening from the cartoon Clone Wars as one of the extras!. You can actually forget about Episodes I & II as they really not needed to understand whats going on with this film.
Some of the cuts are a bit sharp but the best thing is that theres ALOT of cuts to really bring down the runtime, less IS better when approaching an edit for this film, and lets be honest do we really need to watch ANY prequals in shiny HD ?

What’s with all these huge scores? While some of the concepts for cuts are good, and some of the actual cuts improve the drama, this is still at times a mess in editing. Too many of the earlier cuts aren’t seamless. Some changes are made to take out the goofy voices of the robots but just make the sequence awkward and much worse than the original.
The best I can say is that the Anakin Vs. Dooku fight is much improved.
I have seen edits of the other prequels where I didn’t like the choices the editor made but AT LEAST it was edited well. This doesn’t deserve the high score and I recommend skipping this one until the edits are improved.
