Rar files are opened with programs like winrar or 7zip. They are like zip files.
Inside of that is a dlc file that will allow you to download the movie when you open it in a program like FreeRapid downloader or jdownloader. It’s essentially a list of links, but those programs will download them all for you so you don’t need to manually download from like 80 links.
I don’t see the reasoning for criticizing a fan edit before you’ve seen it.
chyron just put a big Ric pic in your sig and be done with it.
Towne32, Sadly for myself, Jdownloader doesn’t work so every time I have to manually download up to like 50 parts.
I want to give technical help on using JDownloader, but I think it would probably be best to move technical support issues over to the “How-to’s and Technical Discussion” forum.

Ive tried using tsMuxer to convert this to bluray format, ive used it loads of times before with other files and its perfect, but with Hal’s v4 trilogy it just produces a glitchy mess, has anyone else been successful, what did you use?
You need to select ‘do not insert SEI/VUI data’ or something to that effect. I’ve typed it probably a dozen times here but never remember the exact setting title. 😃
Thanks, that worked great 😄
A few suggestions:
Delete the scene in which Jar Jar Binks proposes that the senate grant the supreme chancellor emergency powers and revise the opening crawl to state that the senate has recently granted the supreme chancellor emergency powers to counter the separatists. Delete the character Jar Jar Binks entirely.
Restore Anakin mentioning that attachment is forbidden for a Jedi Knight, which emphasizes the motif of forbidden love and explains why they needed to keep the relationship secret.
Restore the emotional fireplace scene when Anakin confesses his feelings, which emphasizes the motif of forbidden love and explains why they needed to keep the relationship secret.
Restore the love confession scene and Anakin’s surprise reaction to Padmé, which emphasizes the motif of forbidden love and explains why they needed to keep the relationship secret.
Restore the scene when Anakin slaughters the sand people and the scene when he tells Padmé but remove the lines in which he describes slaughtering the women and children like animals. Fade to black as Anakin states, “I killed them. I killed them all.”
Restore Obi-Wan and Anakin’s antagonism after Padmé falls out of the transport, which emphasizes Anakin’s love for Padmé and his change in character.
Restore the Geonosian war room sequences which reveal the plans for the ultimate weapon.
Restore Yoda’s epic duel with Count Dooku but edit it slightly for length.
Restore Darth Sidious addressing Count Dooku as ‘Darth Tyrannus.’
Isn’t it funny that all the changes listed here would actually make the edit worse?
Not enough people read the EU.
I second that. Hal’s episode 2 is literally a masterpiece in every aspect. Over time the edit has grown on me even more and convinced me it is best for the Yoda fight to be left out and the way Hal handles it with keeping Yodas badass force moves but still subtracting his lightsaber combat/flipping around is just fantastic. Fireplace scene makes me want to puke

If you restore so much material, here would be the final result: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Attack-clones-Blu-ray/dp/B013JAFV42/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1458026042&sr=1-1
Fireplace scene makes me want to puke
I agree that the fireplace scene is cringe worthy as it currently exists, but if a good editor deleted Anakin’s worst lines, the fireplace scene could be saved:
ANAKIN: “From the moment I met you, not a day has gone by when I haven’t thought of you . . . If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me.”
PADMÉ: “I can’t. We can’t. It’s just not possible.”
ANAKIN: “Anything is possible. Padmé, listen to me.”
PADMÉ: “No, you listen. We live in a real world. Come back to it. You’re studying to become a Jedi Knight. I’m a Senator. If you follow your thoughts through to conclusion, they will take us to a place we cannot go, regardless of the way we feel about each other.”
ANAKIN: “Then you do feel something.”
PADMÉ: “I will not let you give up your future for me.”
ANAKIN: “It wouldn’t have to be that way. We could keep it a secret.”
PADMÉ: “Then we would be living a lie - one we couldn’t keep even if we wanted to. I couldn’t do that. Could you, Anakin? Could you live like that?”
ANAKIN: “No, you’re right. It would destroy us.”
If you delete Anakin’s worst lines, such as, “And now that I’m close to you again, I’m in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you . . . I can’t breathe. I’m haunted by the kiss you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me. What can I do? I will do anything you ask,” it would be possible to save the fireplace scene through careful editing.
The edited scene would only be around a minute, but it would explain why Anakin and Padmé kept their marriage secret in Episode III.

The scene is garbage but Portman is hot in it, so “puke” seems harsh.

The secret relationship and forever alone Jedi thing were unnecessary features of the PT, anyway. I don’t know why we need so much emphasis on these aspects to be restored. There is never external pressure from Obiwan or the council acting on Anakin, regarding these rules (I think). It’s unbelievable enough that, watching the Clone Wars TV show, I always find myself defaulting to the assumption that it’s an open secret. Obiwan is obviously not surprised in RoTS.
We still have the ‘unconditional love’ scene showing us that clearly the Jedi have a nuanced view on what would be considered appropriate behavior and relationships. Anakin sidesteps the mentioned rules with a half-assed response, and then they never seek Jedi approval for their relationship.
The dialogue you have left in that scene is still painfully bad. Of much lower quality than anything Hal has left in, IMO. And it doesn’t do anything to further explain these strange Jedi rules. It’s just a bunch of, “We couldn’t!” “We mustn’t!” sludge.

Anakin and Padmé’s relationship was not an open secret. If that was the case, Anakin would have been expelled from the Jedi Order.
Anakin and Padmé never sought the Jedi Council’s approval for the relationship because they knew in advance that the Jedi Council would have forbidden it.
Obi-Wan was not all that surprised in The Revenge of the Sith because their secret marriage seemed obvious in hindsight. Nevertheless, he was not aware of it at the time.
I disagree with your notion that the Jedi Code forbidding romance was a ‘strange rule.’ It was a perfectly rational rule. Romantic love is an emotional vulnerability which an enemy could easily exploit.
The primary reason Anakin turned to the dark side was his disagreement with the stoic Jedi Code which forbade love, passion, fear, sadness, hatred, and most other natural emotions. The threat of Padmé dying was merely the straw which broke the camel’s back.
Watch this video on the thematic significance of the Jedi Code:
Maybe you should make your own edits instead of pitching the worst ideas be reinstated into the best fanedits on the internet. Have you watched them yet, by the way?

I wasn’t arguing about what the canon storyline is. I was saying it was poorly handled and not believable.
I don’t think he has watched them yet.
Scott, stop posting in here and go make your own thread. Seriously.
chyron just put a big Ric pic in your sig and be done with it.
Scott, I agree with your view on the prequels and how the important the Jedi code is but would still keep the cringeworthy fireplace scene cut out. And please watch the damn edit before recommending changes on it.
Ignore most of my previous criticisms. This fan edit was brilliant. One of my only complaints is that you changed “ten thousand” star systems seceding from the Galactic Republic to “a thousand,” an unnecessary change which lessened the stakes involved in the war. I also cannot understand why you removed the title Darth Tyrannus. All Sith Lords have a personal name and a Sith name, so it would be illogical for Count Dooku to not have a Sith name as well.
But these are all minor complaints. This fan edit is much better than the original version.

I’m glad you’ve come around!
Some editors remove all of the ‘Darths’ from the PT because in their edits, what you say (All Sith Lords have a personal name and a Sith name) is not true. Hal keeps Darth Plagueis though, I think, so presumably the change in AoTC is simply due to Tyrannus sounding stupid. Either way, it doesn’t affect the canon by not having it mentioned during Dooku’s incredibly limited screen time in the film, if you want to consider that his Sith name.

This is the exact reason why I removed his Sith name, which was only ever used twice.
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

First Jango Fett says that a man named Tyrannus hired him to be the genetic template of the clone army. Then towards the end of the film, Darth Sidious refers to Count Dooku as Darth Tyrannus, telling the close viewer that Count Dooku hired Jango Fett, implying that Count Dooku must have killed Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas and taken over the creation of the clone army. It is a very subtle revelation which is obscured in this fan edit.
I also miss the scene in which Yoda is instructing the younglings. I believe the scene is necessary to reconcile the fact that Qui-Gon was Obi-Wan’s master with the fact that Obi-Wan says Yoda instructed him in The Empire Strikes Back. The only way to reconcile the two is if Yoda taught Obi-Wan as a child.
However, these are very minor flaws compared to the great feat this fan edit achieved. After watching it, I believe that I agree with at least 90% of the changes made.

Iv gotta disagree with you on Hal’s changes. Taking it from tens of thousands to a thousand is a smart change. Tens of thousands of SYSTEMS is just ridilcous and way out of proportion. And taking the tyrannous title away elevates Dookus character by making him more independent and lessens pointless confusion of him having two names. I quite literally only have 3 changes in his entire trilogy that I mind.
But again, Hal’s edits IMO are the definitives because he set out to edit them in a way that they could legitamely be released in theaters editing quality wise. Thanks again for saving the prequels!

- Keeping Vaders “Nooo”. He has reasons why it’s just I personally feel it can be left out.
- Padme living, I prefer the irony of her dying. Again just personal prefence.
- Taking out “only a sith deals in absolutes”. Ewan delivers the line with such solemn acknowldment of the situation that it makes me love it.
But again, Hal’s edits IMO are the definitives because he set out to edit them in a way that they could legitamely be released in theaters editing quality wise. Thanks again for saving the prequels!
There are approximately 400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. If the Star Wars galaxy is similar to our own galaxy and if thousands of solar systems have planets with intelligent life, I fail to see the problem . . .
Your assertion that taking away the title Darth Tyrannus elevates Count Dooku is puzzling. If Hal9000 keeps the titles “Darth Sidious,” “Darth Maul,” and “Darth Vader,” then Count Dooku is the only Sith Lord without a Sith name, which is illogical. Furthermore, if you remove the dialogue in which the title Darth Tyrannus occurs, the subtle revelation that Count Dooku hired Jango Fett and took over the creation of the clone army from Sifo-Dyas is removed.

The revelation stays:
Doesn’t need much more.
Also, Episode III doesn’t ever refer to him by Tyrannus, so I felt it kept this character simpler and easier to latch onto since he doesn’t even appear until halfway through Episode II.
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
