statto, about your request for an Episode II recommendation:

There are a ton of Episode II fan edits that I haven't seen, but so far I have watched four:

Army of the Republic by Seciors

Attack of the Ridiculousness by Frink

Fall of the Jedi Episode II by Q2

The Republic Divided by L8wrtr

Personally, I think the romance is one of the prequel trilogy's biggest problems, so I use it as a litmus test to judge a fan editor's work. Out of the four I listed above, the one I would give the highest recommendation is Army of the Republic by Seciors. I found his handling of Anakin and Padme's relationship to be very impressive, more or less. L8wrtr also did a good job with his edits, but I think I give Seciors the edge. Still, you should check it out to see if you agree.

When it comes to Q2's edits, I thought I would like them a lot because I like the goals he was trying to accomplish with them, but when I watched them I was very disappointed, especially considering how popular they are.

Other than my recommendation for Seciors' edit, I also recommend Frink's Ridiculous version. It's not going to be your replacement version of Episode II, but it's entertaining as a comedic alternative.

PM me if you have trouble acquiring these edits.
