This is a thread for my personal fan-edits of episodes 1-6, my Star Wars saga.

My edits are admittedly a combination of others ideas and my own. All other editors are credited.

The Phantom Menace (in-progress)

Faster paced opening that reorients the Jedi’s goal from negotiating with the Federation to saving the Queen.
Neimoidians are more conniving then cowardly.
More emphasis on Maul hunting the Jedi on Tatooine.
Inspired by Hal9000’s “Cloak of Deception”, remove cringe Jar Jar moments to make him more of an every man.
Anakin is more reserved. He shouldn’t be too happy or joyous, he’s a slave. He has no friends.
Watto and Anakin alien dialogue resubtitled to imply a more abusive relationship.
Deleted scene of Anakin beating up Rodian kid readded (he’s not Greedo though).
Deleted scene of Qui-Gon destroying probe droid readded.
Restructuring of the final battle from “Cloak of Deception” used.
A lot more.

Attack of the Clones (in-progress)

Anakin is more like Darth Vader from the OT. He’s colder, bolder, more calculating and reserved. He doesn’t show remorse for the death of the Tuskins (he doesn’t kill the women and children) and is fully convicted to his path to power.
Anakin and Obi-Wan training scene from Obi-Wan Kenobi added.
Cut a lot of Anakin and Obi-Wan arguing to make the lighter scenes between them shine more (including the opening training scene).
Anakin and Padme romance reedited, using deleted scenes and cutting material to appear more realistic and tolerable.
Deleted scenes with Padme’s family readded.
Deleted scene of Mace and Obi-Wan used instead of hallway scene with Yoda.
Cut Jocasta-Nu scene to speed up Obi-Wan’s investigation. Yoda/Youngling scene tells us all we need to know and is more important.
Hal9000’s version of the droid factory scene.
Readded deleted scene of Padme and Dooku discussing politics.
None of the nonsense with the droids in the final act.
A lot more.

Revenge of the Sith (in-progress)

Once again, more Darth Vader-like Anakin. He shows no remorse towards the death of Dooku, nor any doubt in his convictions towards Palpatine and against the Jedi.
Deleted Shaak-Ti/Grievous scene from the opening act readded.
Took cues from Hal9000 “Labyrinth of Evil” to emphasize Anakin’s political siding with Palpatine. The Palpatine-Council subplot is moved before the nightmare.
Emphasize Anakin’s general lust for power and feeling that the Jedi are holding him back, once again to make Anakin more in tune with the power-hungry Lord Vader from the OT.
Anakin wants the power of immortality for himself, not just to save Padme, and this will be Palpatine’s main pitch to Anakin that gets him to turn to the dark side.
In the end, wanting to save Padme is more the straw that broke the camel’s back, the excuse he needed to give into the dark side (think like Walter White).
Padme political subplot readded.
No Chewbacca.
No youngling killing.
No, “From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!”. Vader isn’t making excuses for his actions.
Padme dies because of Anakin’s force choke.
More badass suited Vader scene that emphasizes that he’s moved past Padme in his pursuit of the power of the dark side.
And more.

A New Hope

On hold until Adywan Revisited is released, as that will be the base.

Imperial March as Darth Vader’s theme. ANH Imperial theme kept as the theme for the stormtroopers.
Cut all traces of Luke and Leia’s hinted romance.
Removing anything that implies Vader is Tarkin’s lackey; they’re equals.
FXItInPost SC 38 Reimagined version of Vader vs. Obi-Wan used, though toned down.
Added scene between Vader and Sidious after he kills Obi-Wan.

Empire Strikes Back (completed)

Adywan Revisited Used as Base, Very Light Edit

Special edition Wampa shots readded.
Obi-Wan refers to Yoda as “A Jedi Master who instructed me” instead of “THE Jedi Master…” (also borrowed from Hal).
Leia kissing Luke removed both times.
Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett (using Hal900’s improved versions that use lines from Battlefront).

Return of the Jedi (on hold)

2019 Blu-Ray used as base until Adywan Revisited is released (I anticipate ROTJ:R is years away; even by the time I get to this movie it’ll still likely not be out yet).

Jedi Rocks replaced with Lapti Nek.
Restore original Sarlacc.
Cut Boba Fett comically missing the shot at Luke by a mile.
Boba Fett is knocked into the Sarlacc by Luke (inspired by Possessed’s edit).
Darth Vader force chokes and kills Jerjerrod, using part of a deleted scene. This adds more tension between Vader and the Emperor.
Trim Vader’s, “I must obey my master” to emphasize his own scheme to team up with Luke and kill the Emperor.
Vader "No"s Cut; Vader’s redemption is back to the theatrical cut.
No “Wesa Free” in Victory Celebration.
Anakin’s force ghost replaced with the one from the end of Ahsoka.
