The Phantom Menace - Cantina Edition - Need Reviewers

Author

 (Edited)

Hello All,

Branching this out into it’s own thread focusing on this edit “The Phantom Menace - Cantina Edition”. I decided to call it the Cantina edition as the alien subtitles give a little more of a Cantina feeling I suppose. Here are the current reviewers but would love to add more!

Reviewers:

  • @NotTheDri0ds
  • @Peter Pan
  • @DigMod
  • @potty meister

Could use some more!

Here’s what I’m doing:

  • Using Spence’s TPM Edit as a base (source of scenes)
  • Making changes similar to the Anti-Cheese edits although not exact. Keeping some scenes, removing others.
  • Trying to have a good flow to the story (Spence mostly took care of this)
  • Jar Jar, Gungans, and the Neimoidians will have subtitles. Their vocal audio based off anti-cheese edits.
  • The visit to Gungan City is kept although trimmed down (along with the bigger fish stuff).
  • Way toned down Jar Jar antics or Anakin cheesy lines
  • No C3-P0 in TPM (Spence edits)
  • Anakin’s voice is lowered a bit. He still sounds like a kid but I think it makes him more in line with his Episode II character.
  • No two headed announcer in the pod race
  • Per requests in Spence’s thread removing Jabba too.
  • 1st version will be a “serious” version - same tone as the movie but without the childish Jar Jar stuff, etc…
  • 2nd version will be an R rated humorous version

For review purposes breaking this up into sections:

  • Part 1 - Negotiations - ready for review
  • Part 2 - Escape from Naboo - ready for review
  • Part 3 - Tatooine (before the pod race) - ready for review
  • Part 4 - Pod Race - ready for review
  • Part 5 - Tatooine 2 (after pod race) - ready for review
  • Part 6 will be Coruscant
  • Part 7 will be back to Naboo (might split into two parts).

I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.

Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

My movie reviews aren’t AI, they’re just written by someone who’s Neurodivergent. If you don’t like them, then simply don’t read them.

Part 4 (Pod Race) is ready for review.

  • Spence’s Race flow
  • No two headed announcer.
  • No Jabba.
  • Just mainly focusing on the race without captain obvious (two headed guy) giving all the commentary.
  • Jar Jar does add a little bit of insight to what’s going on.

Part 5 is ready for review and…

A couple of questions for the group here - anybody checking this thread…

  1. One common thread in the reviews is people don’t like the sound of the Gungans’ voice which is essentially the anti-cheese voice. You can hear what the anti-cheese Jar Jar sounds like here: https://youtu.be/IXPUCh6M_pg?si=lHI5EnLfCPq21U1I&t=131

Does anyone like one of these kind of voices better for Jar-Jar? Any other ideas?

  1. I watched the Crouching Tiger - Tiger Lily Cut last night which changes all the subtitles into funny adult themed topics. Should I do this for the Neimoidians and Gungans? Options are:
  • Neimoidians and Gungans pretty much stick to their TPM story.
    or
  • Neimoidians and Gungans have filthy funny mouths (ala Tiger Lily Cut edit).

Would love to hear feedback on this from anybody lurking.

EDIT: Thinking about this more… I am leaning towards the 4th voice for Jar Jar in https://screenapp.io/app/#/shared/hFxlhy4Ue_

And leaning towards “Neimoidians and Gungans have filthy funny mouths (ala Tiger Lily Cut edit)” for a 2nd version of the edit.

Version 1: Serious
Version 2: Humor (Adult)

Reason: There are so many similar TPM edits. The adult version would make this one more unique.
