an amazing job, ADM. The picture and sound quality
are all top notch. Loved the choice of music for the pod race. Loved
Jabba's subtitles in IV. Loved the easter egg at the
end! haha! And yes, I'm happy Sebastian Shaw is
finally back where he belongs.
I think the film that was improved the most by your
edits was Episode II. Great, great decisions you
made. All of the deleted scenes work so much better
than the ones they used in the theatrical release. In
particular, I was shocked at how you changed the entire context
of the meadow scene just by cutting it before showing
that he was joking about "Well...If it works..." And
then she gives a concerned look, like "warning sign!"
Gives the entire scene a much more grim context and
adds an entirely new level of subtext into the
following scenes, and it makes the viewer more
sympathetic to Padme's decision to hold off on the
romance. Absolutely stunning how one simple edit can
add so much to the story. Seriously, my jaw dropped.
Later, I liked the Death Star references thrown in to
the subtitles. I always thought that it was important
to actually SAY "Death Star" in that scene, and you've
acheived that.
Everything else was pretty much in line with how I
would've done it. All the superfluous little moments
with Jar-Jar and so forth were rightly excised.
Those who haven't seen this need to. I'm looking forward to Episode III.
