Alright. Here’s my review. Keep in mind that I don’t have the Blu-Ray/Hal’s edit memorized but here’s all of the changes I could find and my opinion on them. Without a changelist I’m going to assume that a million invisible edits will fly right under my nose. 😃

The list:

  • Different recording used for the crawl. This is a cool change but I don’t know if this recording was the best choice, the ANH whistle bit can still be heard after the crawl but it’s overlapping with Sith’s music and in my opinion doesn’t work. I’d cut the ANH track right when the drums start.

  • The crawl is far too wordy, but I like the ideas your going for. This might help you: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Making-a-PERFECT-Crawl/id/50102/page/2. The stars plate you used in the background still has the original crawl faintly visible.

  • At around 1:42 there is a white bar on the right side of the frame.

  • I love the color correction in the opening sequence

  • I like the cuts you’ve made to the opening space battle.

  • I like the music cue used when Anakin and Obi-Wan destroy some droids, but the original score can still be heard while the actual ships are landing

  • At 5:27 there is a nasty bit of audio in the left channel.

  • I again love the fight in the bridge thanks to your music.

  • Still love the homestead music used at the senate building.

  • At 21:14 at the balcony scene there’s some weird audio effect happening with Padme’s voice.

  • Wow… holy shit. You’ve made the balcony scene bearable and it made me care for the characters a little. How did you do that? How!? I’m… conflicted!

  • At 25:31 there’s weird audio in the left channel. Again at 25:36.

  • Wow. Huge fan of the color correction in the opera scene.

  • I would have cut the midichlorians mention.

  • I like that hard cut from Palpy’s face to the temple. A+

  • I like the use of the deleted scene.

  • I like when the music kicks in in the Anakin Padme conversation

  • I really like the force theme during Anakin and Obi-Wan’s final talk. What track is it from?

  • Music editing gets kinda weird at 1:32:25

  • Music gets weird in left channel at 1:41:35

  • I really love the use of the Imperial theme from ANH
