I can’t say enough good things about these edits. Are you Marcia Lucas? They have literally saved the Prequels for me. My only comments would be to remove the trivial, flightly music from several of the action scenes in Ep II and maybe shorten the Coruscant speeder chase scene which felt overlong. I’m not sure what can be done with the Geonosis Arena/Jedi/Clones material, it may just not be possible to save that, they seemed fine in 2002, but they are unwatchable in 2016 sadly.

However, they trilogy really really does a great job with Anakin, his wishiwashi unlikableness is gone and replaced with a firm character with a genuine arc. Anakin’s turn to the darkside was tangible and real. Even the romance was handled with care, believable and touching. Great great job. In addition, I think it ties into the Clone Wars material very well.

It makes me want to go pick up a bluray burner!
