this reality is frequently broken by L8wrtr’s version with their poor audio cuts
I don’t know if you watched an old version or something but I showed my kids his whole trilogy not too long ago and I didn’t hear any poor audio cuts.
I agree with Lucky on this one. I remember that the bluray edition (taken on kickass) has many jarring audio cuts as well as compression issues (video quality is very poor). I’m really fond of Hal’s version for Episode III, but L8’s take on this one is equally fascinating. The complete reconstructure of Anakin’s fall is great. I’ve read L8 was working on a v2 edition that I would gladly watch when available. He used a few interesting sequences that got entirely cut in Hal’s version (both appartment scenes with Padmé and Anakin) and the sequencing is very clever, making Anakin’s fall a strong choice between Palpatine’s promises and the Jedi blindness of the situation. So for Episodes I & II I would recommand Hal’s versions (which are conservatives editions, with a very few exceptions - Gungan city sequence and the necklace gift to Padmé that I feel are missing a little) and for Episode III it’s a hard choice between Hal’s and L8’s. Hal’s has seamless cuts and higher video quality, so I would suggest to watch his version (besides the non-conservative ending corrects a continuity error between III and VI). For L8’s I would wait for v2 (or there is a better file than the one I took a few months ago ?). The perfect edition of Episode III is somewhere between both versions. Both are strong improvements over the theatrical version, making Episode III a (very) good movie in each case.
Talking about jarring audio cuts, the theatrical (!) version of AOTC has a few during the Coruscant Chase (the energy coupling part), so it’s really a win-win situation to watch a fan edit instead of the original version for this one.

I assume you’re talking about Obi-Wan’s lines after they get shocked? That was always jarring to me, but I always thought it was intentional to convey that they were being zapped and were thus having trouble speaking. Like when Jar-Jar put his face in the smaller version on Anakin’s podracer.
Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Yes, exactly. That was obviously intentional.

Intentional but weird. It really sounds like a mix issue, not a joke. Anyway this sequence is nowhere to be seen in any AOTC fan edit.

Regarding the A/V quality of L8wrtr’s edits, I only have the AVCHDs, I can’t say anything either way about the Blu-Rays. I can see how the video quality could possibly be good on the AVCHD and poor on the Blu, but I don’t see why there would be poor audio cuts on one and not the other.

Do kids really care about video/audio quality?
