This edit seems like a more updated / better version of the Anti-Cheese edits seemingly also getting inspiration from some of the more “modern” edits along with anti-cheese.

Sounds really good! I hope this project isn’t dead. Would love to see Phase3’s take on the whole PT.

Thanks very much! The project is very much alive-- now that I have finished my AOTC edit, I have time to get stuck into rebuilding the TPM edit.

I think the trailer is down? Cant open it.

Sorry about that – I had posted it on Vimeo, and they forced changes to the music as it contravened their policy on using commercially-available music. I had to cut up the trailer so much that it was useless - it had no impact anymore.
I’ll re-uploaded the original trailer soon - most likely to Mega.

Hope you are doing well and your work is progressing!

I’d be really interested in seeing the your edit! Hope that is still possible?

It’s progressing slowly, however it is still being worked on. I’ve been very busy with other projects, but am still keen to get this one finished.

Version 2 is currently underway; I have updated the first post with a revised list of changes.

Here are some examples of some of the new additions to the edit:

Destroyer Droids – I wanted to use the original 35mm version of the Jedi running to escape the droids. The 35mm “4K99” scan has a large amount of dust and dirt, which I have removed:

Queen Amidala – I’ve removed the visible power cable:

Hologram of Gunray - I wanted to use a few extra frames of footage, but without Gunray, so I removed the hologram:

Darth Maul hologram – the original video has blue stars in the background; this has now been corrected to show white stars:
