The Prequels in terms of spectacle where huge, with grand huge shots with so much going on the screen. However at times it was unnecessary.
Which is one of the things I plan to tackle in my edit.
How?
Well, Trimming/cutting shots, editing stuff out of shot using good old after effects, or even just creating new shots entirely.
Examples:
The Geonosis Jedi arena battle. TRIM/CUT/NEW SHOTS?
So many times there are a dozen Jedi in one shot that last hardly two seconds, with so many flashy color full things waving around. The fight with the monsters, in my opinion was pretty good, it felt real, or at least as real as it could get. The Jedi Fight is just too much.
Kamino landing. NEW SHOT
Seriously CG WATER! in 2002! WTF
and they built a model of the city, why didn’t they just stick it in a tank of water?
Obi Wan vs Anakin. TRIM
Yeah this fight is pretty great, but towards the end it was too much, and too long. I will also recut the Yoda vs, Sidious duel. After the Transmission between Anakin and Palpatine, Yoda walks in the door. then is zapped with lightning. then cuts to padme landing on mustifar
Parts cut:
Balancing off the pipes,
Sailing down the river of lava.
The Lava fall
Trimmed the platforms, only Anakin lands on a platform.
Once the beam breaks off Obi Wan jumps off swing off a cable, and landing on the hill,
Anakin them Grabs a cable landing on platform gliding in front of Obi Wan on the hill side.
