Hal, was v7 actually just the integration of a bunch of AI-upscaled deleted scenes? If so, did it make a pretty significant difference?

I believe that is correct. But, if you’d like a copy of shorman13’s source for AOTC let me know and I can get it to you.

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

Yeah, if you could send it to me, I’d really appreciate it!

DZ-330 has kindly offered to host the file once I’ve finished it.

As long as my gracious host doesn’t object, I’d be glad to host it too. Makes sense to; anyone who’d like that variant would be able to get it when they look at the edit.

I was talking about putting on my Plex Server, not Google Drive! But if Hal isn’t able to host for some reason I’m sure I’d be able to get something set up to help! 😉

Ah, fair enough.

So long as people won’t mind Palpatine referring to Tyrannus at the end to align with canon, I should be able to make it. Can call it a Clone Wars friendly edit since Yoda does crazy lightsaber moves in that show, as well.

This is an awesome idea! What are your thoughts on adding the spar from OWK a la Spence’s cut?

I would like to do that, but I almost feel like that scene would work better in an edit which retains the antagonism between Anakin and Obi-Wan, which this edit mostly removes. Granted, I do believe Spence removed most of that from the duel for his edit, since his edit took the same approach for the Anakin and Obi-Wan dynamic, so it’s worth considering.

To be honest, I was mostly waiting to see how PixelJoker95 handles that scene in his edit before I go all in on including it in AotC.

Plus, you can tell they are older in it and that it was shot a lot later than the 2002 footage. It just sticks out and doesn’t blend well, and the scene actually serves a purpose in Obi-Wan Kenobi and I feel it isn’t needed here.

How new is V7? I’m unsure which version I have currently.

Apparently v7 has AI upscaled deleted scenes. From 2-3 years back.

Correct me if I’m wrong, Hal, but I think the transition from the Anakin/Padme kiss to Kamino was also adjusted again.

Very slightly, yes. Not fundamentally different though.

It’s really good!

The only nitpick I have, is that the smooch at 0:46 is a little bit too loud. It sounds more like it would do in a parody of kiss, than an actual kiss.

I can make it quieter for sure; thanks!

Actually, when it is quieter it just sounds like a weird sound or like it’s an editing mistake. Works fine without it. There’s no kiss foley at all in the scene otherwise, save for Padme’s little gasp. So… no sound for their now-slower pull away works.

I’ll admit. The editing is better but the music is a little rough when they stop smooching.
