Well, I only had time to watch the TPM part for now, my comments on it are:
-
I liked the idea of cutting all the first part, but the transition from the diplomatic ship being destroyed to the podracing scene is a little jarring. Perhaps including some seconds of the droid army invading Naboo could help transition the plot better.
-
Introducing Anakin’s story at the “He has no father” scene works really well. Good choice, it also establishes quickly one of the main plots of the trilogy.
-
I think there is some echo in the “A Jedi’s life is hard” scene,
-
I think cutting the Naboo plains battle was also a right choice, as it contributes little to the plot. Without it, the third act of TPM flows really well.
-
There is a little audio glitch in the score at 39:54, when the Trade’s Federation ship is exploding.
Overall I think it’s a really nice edit that higlights the good parts of TPM, and it’s interesting as an alternate view of the Prequels. I’ll watch the AOTC part when I have time.
