This is a fanedit of Star Wars Episode II and a sequel to my fanedit “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Faster, More Intense!”. In truth it is less of a fanedit than a fanedit hybrid, combining some of the best (in my opinion) of Hal9000’s edit, l8wrtr’s edit, the original Attack of the Phantom and some new ideas of my own. There are significantly more original cuts and editing ideas in this edit than in my Episode I edit.

When it comes to Episode II, no one fanedit has ever fully satisfied me. I feel they all have their strengths and weaknesses, and I set out to make a cut that curates edits from these various fanedits to match my vision for the film. Particularly, I wanted to try a somewhat new approach to the film’s romance (although I still take significant cues from the Phantom Editor and Hal9000 here). While some of the cuts were recreated by myself, I confess that most of them were cribbed directly from the source material: the original fanedits, with Hal9000’s as a primary source and l8wrtr’s as a secondary (I used some clips from kk650’s recolored version of the blu-ray as well). Some audio from the original phantom edit was also used. I have put an emphasis on matching the professionalism of these original edits, and I wanted to make the film a suitable replacement for someone who has never seen Attack of the Clones before. I do plan to make a similar edit of Episode III once L8wrtr releases his Episode III V2.
