Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (octorox hybrid edit)

My thoughts on this are specifically about this edit, not the original. Honestly, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Obviously it wasn’t perfect, and didn’t have the magic charm that the original trilogy had, but this edit brings out the unique charm this film had the potential to have. And the way it’s edited actually causes the film to gain a lot of momentum and excitement. It was actually quite captivating. And, since barring the alternative of him never being in the film in the first place, had the perfect amount of jar jar. Not gratingly annoying like the original (Obviously some mild irritation), but not cut down to the point that it’s obvious that he’s been cut down. The original film had alot of heart that was ruined by everything else about it, this edit lets it shine through. Of course it’s not perfect. Some bad acting ( mostly anakin) and such. But all in all it was a very entertaining ride. I feel good giving it a 7 out of 10. (For reference I’d give the original maybe a 3 or so out of 10)
