The Fall of the Jedi Trilogy (Released) — Page 5

Cool; thanks. If I'd have waited I could have seen them in HD. Oh, well.

I'll post a review for Episodes II and III later, but for now here's my thoughts in brief. I thought you gave Episode I a quick pace that made the film more tolerable, though that approach made II and III feel thin. The pacing was fast, and made all of the prequel trilogy feel the way that the last half of III did, like a power-point presentation. 

Anakin and Padme's relationship overall felt much better in this cut than others, since it is not meant to be seen as secretive or forbidden. Good! 

The droids aren't emphasized or seen much at all. This is a good thing, and I think it works well enough. I still think 3PO could be dubbed for his two or three remaining lines to really sell it. 

These films really are a difficult watch, but I'd recommend Q2's edits as a substitute. Especially if you won't want to invest as much time. 

Have you considered collapsing them into a single 2 1/2 hour prequel film? Given how short they ended up, that might be feasible.

For the prequel trilogy as a whole, I'd rate it 8.5 out of 10. (TPM - 9/10 for fast "get in, get out" pacing. AOTC - 8/10 for removal of awful thematic material, which leaves the film feeling gutted. ROTS - 8/10 for the same reasons as AOTC.) Interestingly, my opinion seems to be the inverse of the consensus at fanedit.org; I liked TPM the best out of your edits.  

My stance on revising fan edits.

Strange. Not a drop on my end..... Am I doing something wrong? I'm on bittorrent trying.

I'm no bittorrent expert, but maybe restart the program or reboot your computer? Restarting the modem could work too. I dunno.

(BTW... love your title.) :)

It's a prestigious title to be sure. Took a lot to accomplish. =)

...do you have plans on adding EP4 and 5 to the Q2 collection?

Probably nothing I'll release. I think Adywan's version is the best there is, and while there are a two or three minor things I take issue with, it's not worth the time to edit. Same with Empire: there is only one thing I'd change.

So for the time required to capture, build, create artwork, and upload for what amounts to maybe a 30 sec in each film... it's just not worth it.

What we should ask if if there is a new version ROTJ in your future?

?

I've completed a hybrid version of ROTJ and it's available online. I will not be revisiting it in the future.

You know what. That's my fault. I have all these fanedits in my head I sometimes forget who's done what. I forgot about your Jedi edit, and I apologize. =/

This is an interesting fanedit.

It is at the same time a radical cut in the way so many minutes were cut, but at the same time it is still the same movie. Minus all the things people usaly don’t like about it. The way 3PO is cut works very well, and R2 is indeed just another droid. I’m curious to see how this will be handle in the next movies. Just one music cut did not work for me: the podrace parade cut to Shmi and Anakin. It was a bit jarring.

And to answer the previous comment: yes there are several reasons some faneditors now prefer to use something else than the usual hosting sites. And you’re not the first one to voice this opinion. But to be perfectly clear: fanedit.org is just a site that list and comment fanedits. Nothing else. It’s up to the faneditors to choose the way they want to share their works. This page is meant for reviewing the fanedit. Use the forum for any other discussion. Thanks.

It seems like the AVCHD version of Revenge of the Sith is not available at myspleen. Only the DVD5 is listed.

Would it be possible for somebody to upload and seed it there? I would like to watch the whole trilogy and I'm currently downloading the first two episodes.

I would be so grateful...

Could someone PM an invite for myspleen?

 

I'm a big fan of thunderclap's Fall of the Jedi edits. I remember downloading the first one from demonoid before they got shut down.

It was there at one point. Not sure why it was removed. That said, I no longer have the AVCHD versions. You can still get it from usenet though.

I have a bit of a problem. I had a MySpleen account for years and as I was active on there all was good. However they appear to have deleted my account due to inactivity. Any chance I could get an invite?
