I have attempted edits in the past, however I never was able to finish them.  I now know why.  Nothing I could do would erase the sour taste in my mouth, until now.

The 'Recovered Episodes' is a mix of my attempts in the past, along with ideas from others here, particularly, the dusty silent edition.  I realized that with a silent film, I could change ANYTHING.  So I did...   This is not Uncle George's prequels.  Nor has anything like this been attempted, that I know of.  

Prequel edits are for the editor primarily, and I realize this may be too radical for most, but for me, it is what I needed to eliminate the sour taste left by Jar Jar and Hayden.

Episodes I and II are complete, I am about to begin Episode III.  

This is a black and white, silent film.  The music of John Williams is front and center.  Expect entr'acte, and intermission, like periods of music only. And yes, it is a bit of a gimmick, but it was the only way to "explain" my editing choices.    Here is your teaser:

What can you expect? 

  • The very best of John Williams!
  • All 3 movies are combined
  • Episode 1 gets less than 8 minutes
  • Anakin and Padme get married almost immediately in episode II
  • Anakin confides in Obi-wan about the marriage, just as any best friend would.
  • Obi, Ani, and Padme are never held prisoner on Geonosis. 

 

And that's just the beginning...  Forget all you know, or think you know... you are about to enter the Recovered Episodes of Star Wars!

(Oh yes, and this one will be finished.  Might not be the editing quality of others here, but it will be 720p)
