As an old school OT SW fan, TPM was my least favorite SW film…well, at least until the final two. Late to the party, I recently started checking out fan edits. I was specifically interested to see how folks have improved on TPM, as it includes some good stuff. Particularly the content that served as the foundation for the animated series and later cannon. Just gimme less Jar Jar, midichlorians, Annie, etc.
I haven’t gotten far with the fan edits, but the Anti-Cheese edition made a cool change with Neimoidians. It redubbed them with an alien language, gave them a more menacing tone and added subtitles. The redub with subtitles felt very cantina, which was a nice way give the ANH vibe early on in TPM. It felt more interesting than other edits, which simply try to improve those scenes by cutting down the existing dialog.
