This sounds like an awesome project. Visually, Hal’s and Spence’s edits look quite a bit different with Spence’s having added film grain and some color alterations. How will you handle that?

TPM - Spence’s edit is my goto version. I agree with others for keeping Otah Gunga pretty much the way Spence did it. I’ve seen other edits where it’s cut completely and I feel it totally screws up the pacing. Personally, I don’t mind some of the two headed announcer stuff. The theatrical version is too much but trimmed the right way it works well. The pod race in Spence’s edit is extremely well done.

ATOC - Spence’s edit is darn near perfect imo except for cutting the entire Yoda/Dooku duel. I think at least some of it needs to stay. I will say that the scene at the beginning where Padme is reunited with Anakin and Obi-Wan is so well done in Spence’s edit. It’s such an awkward conversation in the theatrical version but Spence fixed it wonderfully. Use that for inspiration.

ROTS - I really like the Rebalanced edit. Not sure if you’ve seen that but I thought it struck a good balance of dialog. For my personal copy I reinserted the theatrical version of everything between when Obi-Wan jumps up to the high ground and him returning to the ship to leave Mustafar. I know a lot of edits cut out “I have the high ground” and other dialog around it but I love it. A good edit for me should also have Yoda vs Palpatine so I’m glad you’re keeping this.

I’d love to be a tester for these. Thanks for the care being put into the audio. I have a 7.2.4 setup and can’t stand it when an edit is finished in stereo.
