A good Attack of the Clones fan edit

 (Edited)

Unlike many members of this forum, I really like Attack of the Clones. I think it’s a really good film, and I don’t agree with a lot of the criticisms leveled at it, especially the criticisms of the love story between Anakin and Padmé. However, although I like the film as it is, I think there are small changes that, if made, could make me appreciate the film even more. If I were good at creating fan edits, these would be the changes I would make to Attack of the Clones:

Cut the sand line;
Cut the scene where Anakin confesses to Padmé that he killed the sand people. Anakin kills the sand people, but doesn’t confess It to Padmé;
Move the scene where Anakin and Padmé are talking on the grass. I think that scene should be moved and put before the two of them kiss, and not after;
Move the scene where Anakin makes the apple levitate with the Force, I think that scene should be put before the two of them kiss, and not after.

Well, I would like to know if you are aware of the existence of a fan edit accessible for free and that has these changes, but that leaves the rest of the film as it is. Unfortunately, there are so many fan edits on the internet that if I had to look for them all, then I would never find what I’m looking for.

Sounds like Hal 9000’s The Approaching Storm edit would be perfect for you. It does pretty much the exact same things you suggested, and it’s one of the most conservative edits of the movie out there.

I have heard about this fan edit, but unfortunately I have never been able to find it, because from what I understand it is not freely accessible.

It is, you just have to PM the creator. Go to the editor’s profile, click “send private message”, and type in a request for his edit folder. That system is how almost all edit links are distributed on this site.

I should see if he is still active… Anyway I will try. Thank you!

Octorox and Hal9000’s edits follow your ideas about Anakin and Padmé’s plotline. However, take into consideration that those edits omit Yoda’s lightsaber duel with Dooku.

I wrote what I think of Hal 9000’s The Approaching Storm in the dedicated thread. In summary, no, that’s not what I’m looking for. Also, I like the duel between Yoda and Dooku, so I don’t think Octorox’s fan edit is for me either.

If you don’t like Approaching Storm because it’s too liberal with its cuts, you definitely won’t like my edit. It’s basically Hal’s with additional edits layered on.

Honestly I don’t think the edit you’re looking for exists. I would suggest learning how to fan edit yourself and making it. I’m sure others who have similar tastes to you would appreciate it.

Unfortunately, I can’t do it, because I have very low eyesight. Besides, I’m barely capable of editing a Mr Incredible meme video, I could never edit a whole movie… However I don’t lose hope, I’m sure that what I’m looking for exists somewhere.

All right, if even Hal’s edit was too radical for you, I’d suggest watching the least radical edit of this movie out there: Ebumms’s edit. It shares the same basic goal you’re looking for (improving the romance while leaving everything else intact), but does it in a completely different way than what you want. Still, it’s probably the closest edit out there to what you’re looking for.

You can find it on fanedit.info. The instructions for downloading edits on there are pretty complicated, but the site has a guide for what you need to do.
