A few thoughts after watching JEDI NO MORE

I just wanna say up front: I appreciate any edit that really tries to push itself in terms of new ideas and restructuring of the movie.

One of the main things that intrigued me about this edit was the restructuring. I had heard the idea of putting Geonosis at the beginning of the movie before but didn’t know if there was a edit out there that was successful at achieving it.
Was the edit successful in doing so?
I think it’ll work for some. Sadly, it didn’t for me. I guess I would say there’s not enough connective tissue from scene to scene to make the build up work. Maybe I just know the material so well I can’t separate it…I don’t know…
However, Obi-Wans intro scene is him talking to R4 about the unusual concentration of trade federation ships there are. Anakin and Padmes first scene is their little “columns of steam” talk as they fly down to Geonosis. These are not strong introductions for our main characters. For me, that just doesn’t work.

With all of that being said, there were things I did like. Including but not limited to:

-repurposing shots of the geonosians to now spy on Obi-Wan.
-new dialogue for Obi-Wan message to the Jedi
-Anakin saves Padme in the droid factory instead of R2
-altered dialogue for certain scenes such as the Obi/Mace/Yoda walking down the overtly CGI Jedi hallways scene (lipsync isn’t quite there but still fun)
-I like Anakin at the senate hearing
-I like the additional senate scene with Jar Jar using footage from TPM, AOTC+deleted scene
-analysis droid deleted scene on Kamino with new dialogue
-Anakin becomes a Jedi Knight

I know a lot of thought and work went into this edit. It shows. I appreciate that.
And maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t care for the restructured bits.
Everyone else should check it out!

JEDDIT: i like some of these ideas i may just borrow one or two of them. 😉
