Synopsis:
After 10 years it's about time I could watch the Star Wars Prequel trilogy without feeling physical pain! But not just that, they should be out and out pleasures to watch!
...and so the idea for 'Star Wars:Reborn' arrived.
...and so the idea for 'Star Wars:Reborn' arrived.
Intention:
My goal with these edits was to create versions of the PT that were to put it simply 'enjoyable to watch'. I wanted to make good versions of these films that still felt like the same films in essence. The watch word is CHARACTER!
Other great edits streamline the films down to 90 mins but for me a true SW film should give you around 2 solid hrs of entertainment (And not 2.5hrs either!). So I've made sure you'll enjoy spending these 2 hours in this universe.

Additional Notes:
I've achieved this by:-
Trimming action scenes to increase pace. Reworking all major Lightsaber duels. Evaluating and then editing every line of dialogue that I felt didn't work. Adding a few OT music queues. Adding portions of most but not all deleted scenes back in. Removing over-the-top CGI shots and Digi-Doubles and changing characters to be likeable and believable.
Of my 3 'Reborn' edits AOTC required the most editing to put it right. TPM:R had more changes (Well over 300) but alot of those were subtitle or audio changes, AOTC's 279 changes are almost all edits to the actual footage. It's not just that the editing was bad from an acting/dialogue, story and character point of view, it's that the pacing was all over the place and the scenes were badly constructed (Especially the action scenes). This edit clocks in at just over 2 hours, 27 minutes shorter than the theatrical cut, despite re-introducing an extra 6 minutes of deleted material.
As with all three of these edits I've kept 'Improving Character' as my primary goal over other considerations. In the theatrical cut Anakin was an annoying and petulant kid who was constantly arguing with his hated mentor Obi-Wan before turning his dislike towards Padme. They then have a series of bitter rows that somehow culminates in them falling in love. But in this cut Anakin is likeable yet fallable, he has a friendly rivalry with Obi-Wan and his romance with Padme grows naturally accross the length of the picture (Oh and I also implied through editing that they "Get jiggy with it" one night on Naboo). Padme herself is now a powerful and important Senator, so much so, that much of the plot revolves around her and the Army-creation-act she opposes. Also Jar-Jar's role is minimised and rewritten while young Boba is a silent angry kid, much like his father and the man-of-few-words that he will grow up to be. So sit back Popcorn in hand and prepare to actually enjoy AOTC!...as unlikely as that sounds.

Editing Details:
I was excited by reading Adywan's plans for the SW:PT trilogy on the Revisited website and knew this would be years in the making. So I decided to try and fix them for myself.
I felt the problem with the PT was "Likeability". If you liked the characters, liked the scenes and liked the dialogue you shouldn't need to chop the films down to 90 mins or less. Because you'll want to spend the full standard SW 2 hours in this world just like the OT. In this edit I've trimmed bad dialogue and acting throughout, recut, condensed or removed scenes, rewrote most subtitles, inserted the classic Fox and Lucasfilm logo opening, made Padme more powerful and important, made Anakin likeable and made their romance believable. I've also added back five deleted scenes (But trimmed those for quality too).
I hope this is the second part of a trilogy that people are truly going to ENJOY!

Synopsis:
After 10 years it's about time I could watch the Star Wars Prequel trilogy without feeling physical pain! But not just that, they should be out and out pleasures to watch!
...and so the idea for 'Star Wars:Reborn' arrived.
...and so the idea for 'Star Wars:Reborn' arrived.
Intention:
My goal with these edits was to create versions of the PT that were to put it simply 'enjoyable to watch'. I wanted to make good versions of these films that still felt like the same films in essence. The watch word is CHARACTER!
Other great edits streamline the films down to 90 mins but for me a true SW film should give you around 2 solid hrs of entertainment (And not 2.5hrs either!). So I've made sure you'll enjoy spending these 2 hours in this universe.

Additional Notes:
I've achieved this by:-
Trimming action scenes to increase pace. Reworking all major Lightsaber duels. Evaluating and then editing every line of dialogue that I felt didn't work. Adding a few OT music queues. Adding portions of most but not all deleted scenes back in. Removing over-the-top CGI shots and Digi-Doubles and changing characters to be likeable and believable.
Of my 3 'Reborn' edits AOTC required the most editing to put it right. TPM:R had more changes (Well over 300) but alot of those were subtitle or audio changes, AOTC's 279 changes are almost all edits to the actual footage. It's not just that the editing was bad from an acting/dialogue, story and character point of view, it's that the pacing was all over the place and the scenes were badly constructed (Especially the action scenes). This edit clocks in at just over 2 hours, 27 minutes shorter than the theatrical cut, despite re-introducing an extra 6 minutes of deleted material.
As with all three of these edits I've kept 'Improving Character' as my primary goal over other considerations. In the theatrical cut Anakin was an annoying and petulant kid who was constantly arguing with his hated mentor Obi-Wan before turning his dislike towards Padme. They then have a series of bitter rows that somehow culminates in them falling in love. But in this cut Anakin is likeable yet fallable, he has a friendly rivalry with Obi-Wan and his romance with Padme grows naturally accross the length of the picture (Oh and I also implied through editing that they "Get jiggy with it" one night on Naboo). Padme herself is now a powerful and important Senator, so much so, that much of the plot revolves around her and the Army-creation-act she opposes. Also Jar-Jar's role is minimised and rewritten while young Boba is a silent angry kid, much like his father and the man-of-few-words that he will grow up to be. So sit back Popcorn in hand and prepare to actually enjoy AOTC!...as unlikely as that sounds.

Editing Details:
I was excited by reading Adywan's plans for the SW:PT trilogy on the Revisited website and knew this would be years in the making. So I decided to try and fix them for myself.
I felt the problem with the PT was "Likeability". If you liked the characters, liked the scenes and liked the dialogue you shouldn't need to chop the films down to 90 mins or less. Because you'll want to spend the full standard SW 2 hours in this world just like the OT. In this edit I've trimmed bad dialogue and acting throughout, recut, condensed or removed scenes, rewrote most subtitles, inserted the classic Fox and Lucasfilm logo opening, made Padme more powerful and important, made Anakin likeable and made their romance believable. I've also added back five deleted scenes (But trimmed those for quality too).
I hope this is the second part of a trilogy that people are truly going to ENJOY!

I am a huge fan of TM2YC's previous "Reborn" edit, so that was the standard I was judging this by. Unfortunately, this edit is not nearly as good in my opinion. I have to say firstly that (besides The Last Jedi) this is my least favorite Star Wars film. It's very uneven and there are a lot of problems on the script level. It has the worst acting in general of any of the trilogies, and probably career low performances from the 3 principals: Hayden Christensen, Ewan McGregor, and especially Natalie Portman. So trying to fix these issues is a massive job, and I have great appreciation for all the thought and effort on the part of the faneditor. It's with that in mind that I offer my feedback.
The major issue with this edit for me is technical. It's a very aggressive edit, with lots of cuts to scenes, and many are HARD cuts. The deletion of shots is quite noticeable most of the time, and the audio is even more jarring. I know that dealing with audio in a Star Wars film is incredibly tricky due to the constant score, and it's very evident here. The drop off and sudden pick up in the music is a dead giveaway, as is sudden moments of silence where lines are deleted.
In addition, all the quibbles I had from the previous Reborn fanedit are present here, but more so. There are still many wipes that are edited to be a 1/2 second too fast, the 2 channel only audio, an even more noticeable quality difference in both the visual fidelity and audio (high pitch) of the deleted scenes, and a jarring and unnecessary insistence on deleting all references to Padme having a double, which is obvious anyway.
On the other hand, several of the strengths of the previous edit are NOT present here. Jar Jar was recharacterized in TPM Reborn to be naive and afraid, but a simple, proud native trying to be a hero. Lucas' subversion of his character in AotC fits perfectly with that portrayal, where he is played for a fool by being the instrument that gives Palpatine power in the Senate. Here, the treatment is just to remove him. In fact, that's the effect on many characters. Rather than reshaping them through removing specific lines, whole scenes are removed or 2/3's of dialogue in a scene. It doesn't led to reshaping of character oftentimes, it simply leads to NO character. And jarringly so, as reaction shots are left in, but there is often no action/dialogue to react TO. It makes the cut weird and obvious. Boba Fett for example has absolutely nothing to say and nothing to do in the film. The stated intention is to "bring him in line with the strong bounty hunter in ESB", but he's NOT that character yet. He's a little kid. And he hasn't suffered any tragedy yet. That kind of overreach in deleting lines is endemic to the edit as a whole.
There are many parts of the edit that are very smart and work well, or pretty well. Deleting some of Anakin's more petulant moments and some of his bickering with Obi Wan does indeed make him more likable. There are little trims to scenes like Shmi's demise or Dooku's talk with the Separatists that do improve the scenes. Of course, the removal of the slapstick scenes with R2 and 3PO is much appreciated. However, many deletions go too far, not only deleting bad lines, but leaving almost nothing to conversations, resulting in scenes feeling empty or almost pointless. And the extensive reworking of the action scenes is mostly unnecessary, as the one thing George Lucas does great is place action beats. A bit of comedy or dialogue deleted from the scenes is fine, but the action itself is thrilling, and mostly the reworking simply makes it less thrilling and rather more blah.
Finally, the deleted scenes are ESSENTIAL for the improvement of the film, as they add context, character, and nuance to both the Jedi storyline and the romance. However, many of them only have snippets reinstated, which are noticeable in their brevity. (And really this movie needs all the Rose Byrne and Joel Edgerton it can get!) The romance overall is better than in the original film, but still very abrupt and lacking. More lines and actions could've been left in. The stated intention was to "remove fighting between Anakin and Padme", but fighting can often be a foundation for attraction, particularly a relationship that turns possessive and abusive. Only the harshest lines need to be removed, and a few were actually left IN, notably Portman's biting "It makes me uncomfortable!" after telling Anakin not to look at her, which always bothered me. All in all, the romance just needs fleshing out, even with some banal dialogue, because yes, that happens too in relationships.
All told, I don't want to give the impression that this is a BAD edit. There are a lot of great ideas here. I'm afraid that it won't be aggressive enough for some people though. While for me it goes overboard in being far less precise and tactical than the previous Reborn edit. I'd like to see TM2YC revisit it and give it more polish, as I think it was only his 2nd edit and he has surely gained a lot more skill now. If the edits were less noticeable, it might give a different feel. As is, this doesn't replace the original film for me, though it is worth a watch.

As in Episode I, TM2YC manages to extract a Star Wars-ish movie from the Attack of Clones. I really enjoyed this edit and once again I feel TM2YC sees what Lucas meant but seems unable to do anymore.
Lets see... What I hated of the original? Anakin character is annoying at best, unbearable at worse. Consequently you get the feeling that Obi-Wan is the worse mentor ever, how can he possibly transform the nice child of Ep.I in such a persons? Even if Anakin is such a douchebag Padme falls in love with him with some of the worse romantic dialogs ever. To cite Darths & Droids notes: "Writing this[375th strip] we have a new-found appreciation for just how time-consuming and horribly difficult it is to write truly awkward romantic dialogue. George Lucas is a genius." The Jedi council decides to split the pair sending Anakin to his first solo mission while Obi-Wan disagrees, but Joda arrogantly says the council is sure of the decision.
This edit fixed all of that, ALL OF IT. Anakin is not humble, but still he respects and loves his mentor; he actually knows Obi-Was is powerful and wise and he has much to learn. Removing the nonsensical disagreement with Obi-Wan Anakin's mental breakdown after the death his mother appears felt and hearth-wrenching; the difference with the theatrical release where Anakin appears a spoiled child is impressive.
Reintroducing the deleted scenes Amidala appears as a powerful politician and everything revolves about her pacifist ways that still fail to stop the arrival of the clone army. The love story works much better and you actually think that Captain Typho, Amidala bodyguard, was right thinking that she can importunate him more than vice-versa.
Kenobi is still worried for the solo mission of this apprentice, but TM2YC used a deleted scene where Windu states to have faith in him instead that the council is sure. Considering how Anakin is better than in the theatrical version the scene works much better.
The cut-n-past job is really visible only during the final duel Doku against Yoda; Yoda appears much less agile and prefers using the force than the sword. All considered the new duel is probably better as in the original where it seems Yoda could destroy Doku ship with debris, but for some reasons he does not. Here he has hard time defending himself and rescuing Obi-Wan and Anakin.
