What, no one mentioned Q2’s Fall of the Jedi Trilogy yet?

According to Fanedit.org, if you sort by popularity then L8wrtr is first, Q2 is second and Hal is third.

L8wrtr and Hal have editor commentaries whereas Q2(aka. thunderclap) does not, but I say Q2’s edits are the best. Stankpac had a decent Ep3 v2 but his v3 isn’t good.

Frankly, Hal is the only one who properly implements the Palpatine Sith-reveal and also does everything else well. L8wrtr and Stanckpac implement it wrong and Kerr’s edit is obviously sourced from PAL which makes the speed too fast and the voices too high.

Hal’s Ep3 v3 replaced The Death Star with Coruscant, which I loved, but he reverted back in his v4. Only his v4s have commentary.

Only The Cutter, Hal and Q2 have Padme live at the end of Ep3. Only Q2 completely retains OT surprises by removing spoilers.

I don’t like how L8wrtr shrinks the universe by putting in the deleted Greedo fight scene in Ep1 or Yoda talking to Chewie in Ep3, and I don’t like how he cuts Yoda escaping the stormtroopers so we don’t see how he got away. His Ep2 is good, but it doesn’t properly match other editors’ work well enough to be included in a mixed trilogy.

So what’s your favorite edit of the whole prequel trilogy.
