Idea: The Star Wars - 3 in 1 Prequel Fan Edit

Hi, I’ve been wanting to do a fan edit for a long time and I’ve finally got the chance to do that. My edit to basically be a prologue to the OT or the first in a 4 part trilogy (If that makes any sense). I want it share the feeling of the OT but can stand alone as a single movie.

The first 30 minutes will be a highly condensed combination of TPM and AOTC to pretty much set up the Clone Wars and a few character origins. This edit will remove allot of characters as well like C-3PO, Jango Fett, Chewbacca an Jabba the Hutt. Count Dooku will take center stage as the main villan for this episode only as a shelf holder for Anakin.

TPM- This part will only be a very short version of the battle of Naboo, Yoda talking to Obi Wan and the funeral scene

AOTC- This has been heavily rearranged so it is just Obi Wan tracking down Dooku and being rescued by the new Clone army after being captured, Anakin takes the backseat in this part and just builds a relationship with Padme

ROTS- the beginning of ROTS will be readjusted to make it link to the end of AOTC but the content of the episode wont change that much. Padme is in the early stages of pregnancy in ROTS and gives birth after the Rise of Vader (meaning she survives after what happens on Mustafar)

I’m still debating on how ROTS should end but some opinions would be appreciated. I never know, this edit could fail or take longer than usual due to my lacking of editing skills but I hope everything goes well.

I suppose ROTS could end the way it ends now. Do you have any rough cuts or demos of how you'll join the films together (the point where TPM runs into AOTC, and AOTC runs into ROTS)?

I haven't thought about doing any transitions yet :/

At the moment I've been working on the order of scenes and stuff like that. However I will start working on them at a later date. Although I have some decent ideas for transitions from AOTC to ROTS. For example we see the last scene of AOTC then we fade straight into a nightmare Anakin is having then we see him wake up and the audience can presume that we have gone forward in time.

Yeah, I'm still in the early stages of the edit since I am quite lazy and I am still learning how to use the software I've got. But I'll get there one day :)
