Clones is my 6th most favourite Star Wars film and even the many edits and extended versions out there struggle to improve the film in my humble opinion. In the past I have watched the film willing the film to end!!

Today I received the 40 minute Clones Revealed workprint which is approximately half the film only. This "take" of the film I did not want to finish. When it dawned on me that this was not a 40 minute long edit of the entire film - only half of it, I actually became rather annoyed.

To see how the film was made, bluescreens, stand in actors and artwork etc is 10 times more enjoyable to see - TRUST ME!!

As Daveytod has said from Day One, the BTS source material is scarce but what there is has been expertly added in synch to the rest of the film. A few times, I had to rewind to check where the scene changed from the film to BTS. Very well done.

Because of the lack of video material, something else had to be used. Still photographs, sketches, scans and single picture frames from the comic book were used at some of the crucial lines which work very well.

The highlight for me was the speeder chase scene which has to be seen to be believed!! How many individual cuts did you put in there?? Fantastic.

To finish, I now demand that I get to see the last half of this project and that this becomes a finished release.

Also, The Phantom Revealed has to follow along with the re-done Sith Revealed we discussed many moons ago.

Keep up the good work.............
