Bingowings said:If you watch Slumberland's take on the Gungan scenes in TPM, Jar-Jar is still Jar-Jar, Boss Nass is still Boss Nass (no re-dubs or subtitles) but they work as designed much better (I wrote this elsewhere on here Jar-Jar actually made me laugh for the first time in a decade thanks to having the majority of his silly scenes removed, it improved the slap-schtick timing).
Hmm, I haven't seen Slumberland's edits yet, but you've peaked my curiousity (a better Jar-Jar would be great, but hopefully that also extends to a better Anakin as well)
Some of Anakin's scenes are improved but there is still room for further improvement.
I've yet to see an edit that pulls the best ideas together.
The idea of redubbing the Trade Federation is great from Magnoliafan (though I don't like the garbled speach used in that edit the subtitles making them darker slave traders is genius). Keeping Jar-Jar a funny clot but actually funny (from Slumberland), Anakin is better in The Phantom Edit (here I reach the outer edge of my Phantom Menace edit knowledge). ADM made a great job of putting deleted material back in.
Giving the battledroids sinister voices is something that has yet to be pulled off convincingly in my experience (though trimming has been done well in a couple of the versions I've seen).
Hopefully when Adywan comes to do his he will borrow from the best and add his own polish as Octorox suggests.
