Info Wanted: which version of Prequels is best for the Machete Order?

I’d download yourself Hal9000’s episodes 1 and 2. Then you could try L8wtr’s for 3.

Or, if you stick with my Ep3, you’ll have it match Leia’s account of her mother in the very next film watched.

If it makes you feel any better Hal, I was just being very simplistic with my suggestion since I like Padme dying. My actual way I watch episode 3 is a mashup. I use yours for pretty much the entire film until the last few minutes. I prefer the way you tell Anakin’s fall (political motivations first, then Padme is the last straw) and I prefer the Yoda/Palps duel Cut. Your edit is superior in every way for me except for the fact that you let Padme live. It maintains continuity but I prefer the original irony of her dying and am willing to sacrifice a little continuity. Nevertheless, I hope I’v made it clear that I adore your edits and consider them to be the best edits of the prequel trilogy around.

Lol, I wasn’t concerned about your own interest for my particular edits. I just wanted the OP to know that my Ep3 is suitable for a machete order viewing, rather than somehow less so than 1 and 2.
Mixing and matching edits is a great thing. I can imagine a get together for the site and watching three different editor’s takes of one film each for the prequels, then the OOT in one form or another.
