It is far from a perfect film. But i always liked the duel of the fates and how the original edit worked. The original 35mm version. I hate the DVD and Blu ray cuts with added things that slow the pace of the film, and i really despise cgi Yoda in every version since 2011. I also think the original theatrical audio mix of the film was better than every version since. The only thing that came close was the Laserdisc.
This. The post '01 cuts are completely unwatchable.
The Phantom Menace: Not good, but not bad. It’s a shame all of the releases after the DVD completely kill the flow of the movie. The extended Pod Race is the worst offender.
The horrible red shift of the DVD and the DNR/sharpening of the blu-ray is just awful. It’s looks like complete shit visually because of the horrible video transfers.
