Star Wars - Rogue One: Where Rebels Dare

I must say this edit is near-perfect for me. However I don't care about the changes that make it fit more in line with the original like the crawl, I actually disliked the old logo and the missing planet names.

I agree with the actual story edits very much, and I was positively surprised to see the mind reader alien was not removed, I find it to be one of the grittiest scenes in all of Star Wars. I have not watched this with the original side-by-side or back-to-back but I feel the edits are indeed vastly improving the film. I hope I could give you details on that.

What more could one ask for from an edit this flawless? Oh, that's right: how about an absolutely immaculate video quality? Sure the largest file is massive at 20.4gb on a last-generation codec but that only means you can recode with x265 and maintain a crisp preservation-worthy quality at ~4gb. That spells perfect in my book!

I've seen both, Rogue One The Battle of Scarif May and Star Wars Rise of the Rebellion - A Rogue One Edits and TM2YC's edit is very good.

I'll begin with a few things i don't like or i think could be improved.
1- Opening scene with the ISD next to Lah'mu when Krennic's shuttle Pteradon passes by doesn't look good to me. It is an ISD from ESB and it doesn't play well with the camera movement. I suggest removing this FX.
2- Death Star reveal: The overall idea and music/sound is great but the FX could be improved a bit. The desert planet IMO doesn't fit well and there is no sense of movement to Scariff (rotation) nor to the DS and her fleet from afar. It doesn't ruin the experience though. =)
3- I HATE the Bor Gullet scene, sorry TM2YC, and IMO, in that regard DigModiFicaTion's Rise of the Rebellion dealt with it very well, by removing it.
4- X-Wing engines are red in Eadu fight scene (EXCELLENT!) but they are purple again in the Battle of Scariff (ohh noo =(( )

These are my reasons for not giving 10 to Visual Editing and Enjoyment.

Apart from the things I've mentioned, i salute TM2YC for is hard work and vision. =)
I'll mention a few things that IMO, he nailed very well in his edit:
- COLOR CORRECTION! Excellent effort
- The reorganization of the movie into a more cohesive vision and narrative (EXCELLENT!)
- Many sound and FX effects that work very well to the best of his abilities so far
- Vader is used in a different and interesting way (EXCELLENT!)
- Krennic is presented in a more powerful way, adding more weight to is character (love Krennic, R.I.P) (EXCELLENT!)

Overall i'm very please with this edit. Great Work TM2YC. Hope you fans like it too.

This is not my first fan edit of Rogue One - I have seen DigModiFicaTion's Rise of the Rebellion. With that said, this, like DigModiFicaTion's edit, are a lot better than the theatrical cut.

When it comes to this cut by TM2YC, I love how they re-arranged scenes, cut/trimmed lines/scenes. It makes the film more watchable/enjoyable. I also love the crawl. I had no problem with the theatrical cut saying Rogue One and moving on to the story, but with the crawl it add that Star Wars flavour.

I can defiantly see myself watching this edit more than the blu-ray I own.

Thanks, TM2YC for a great edit - can't wait to see what else you come out with!
