  1. A Machete Order Prequel Edit
  2. First Order, Last Jedi
    Both by TriggeredPuppy

Both Prequel & Sequel Star Wars Trilogies are better rewatched as radically reedited 2-in-1’s. TriggeredPuppy is up to task.

For his PT, he judicially reduces TPM to a radically innovative introduction sequence of mainly its grand lightsaber duel (but with better justification than seen in previous 2-in-1s). Beyond this no other broad narrative details are altered. As a single film, this serves as a pulpy and mostly cringeless experience. Nothing cut out except for the omitted infamous/exceptional Darth Plegius tale scene will be missed.

In his ST edit, he’s much more daring using very little TFA and just enough TRoS to structure the film largely around TLJ making Kylo Ren this feature’s irredeemable big bad. With only a few costume and staging inconsistencies that can be overlooked on the strength of the overall stronger and more focused narrative and character arc revisions. This is the go-to for rewatches.
