I had some high hopes for this edit, but I was left with mixed opinions. I didn't think everything he took out was necessary. Some things he missed and a few edits just caused more problems with continuity.

This one got deleted after the first viewing.

I've never seen the The Phantom Edit. I suppose one of these days I'll have to check it out. I can't recall what the Ep3 edit was that I downloaded, but that was a keeper.

Well, both of these were done prior to the subsequent films coming out in the theaters - PE was done prior to 2002 and AOTP was done prior to 2005 - so he was trying to predict what was going to happen in the subsequent films.  He didn't have the benefit of hindsight with all 3 discs sitting on his table first.

 

What I meant by continuity was within the movie itself. Like cutting out the entire obi-wan / jango space battle and then not explaining all the damage to obi-wan's starfighter.
