Info Wanted: best fan edits you have ever seen?

lets hear em!

Both edits by Adywan.
Hall9000’s Prequels.
Batman Forever: The Tim Burton Cut by That Guy Who Edits.

The only one I’ve ever had replace the original film is Hal’s TFA Restructured edit.

The best ROTS edit is NFBIMS New Canon Cut.

A few of my personal favorites:

• Of course Harmy’s Star Wars: Despecialized Edition
• Adywan’s Star Wars: Revisited and The Empire Strikes Back: Revisited
• octoroxx, or Octorox’s The Phantom Menace: Faster, More Intense and Attack of the Clones: Sanded Down
• HAL 9000, L8wrtr, and Q2 have all done fantastic edits of the prequels as well, each with their own merits. I find octoroxx’s cherrypicking of the above ideas to create a sort of “greatest hits” prequel edit to be really effective.
• HAL 9000’s The Force Awakens: Restructured
• L8wrtr’s The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
• TM2YC’s THX1138: The Hybrid Cut
• reeseevans’s Batman v Superman: No Justice

Paja’s Oops was a good edit.

I like A Vergence The Force for the prequels. It’s re-created with such a darker tone so that Palpatine’s inSideousness [lolol] and Anakin being his prey; fulfilling his destiny by returning to slavery. Even twenty years later Vader hasn’t overthrown the Emperor and thereby failed to followed the path of nearly every other Sith. This is on full display, and the tragedy of the story is central.

For the originals, I can’t stop watching Pulp Empire. It plays up everything like a mix between Kill Bill would do with the same space action concept. The resolution of the footage is also striking, and the colors of each piece on set are 🤩—especially the Vader/Luke duel on Vespin. Instead of moving back and forth between the different story arcs, it’s not timeline contingent so the scenes of each are extended which creates a lot more connection to everyone’s developments. It’s an hour and a half, but the final 20 minutes or so is an ultra-climactic redub of Luke/Vader, with all Tarantino-movie music behind it (whole movie’s this way) and feels just like the wonderment of SW I had as a kid. It’s really top notch, IMHO

• Adywan Star Wars: Revisited Editions

• Star Wars: Despecialized Editions

• Star Wars: The Blackened Mantle, is the prequels in one movie only, the audio is in japonese so the acting is improved and the dialogue in the subtitles change the story for the better (not recomended if you knows japonese or hate subtitles - a.k.a mojority of americans)

• HAL 9000 The Force Awakens: Restructured, make the movie not so much like A New Hope, the biggest problem of TFA.

• Apocalypse Now: The Re-Redux, a simple edit that only takes the scenes of the French house out of the extended cut

• Full Metal Jacket: Locked & Loaded, a non chronological edit of this movie, going back and forth between the training scenes and the Vietnam scenes. The movie has a better pacing and climax.

• Watchman: Midnight, make the movie closer to the comics, improves the soundtrack, eliminate the unrealistic kung fu stuff

• Man Of Steel: The Ultimate Kriptonian Cut, solves all the major editing problems of that movie, the flashbacks makes sense and Clark is a more compelling character.

• Batman V Superman: Ultimate Edit, the best edit I saw of this movie, removes the Africa plot, more Clark scenes, no stupid nightmare and forced references to the Justice League.

😦

Joke aside,I agree, the french scenes are weird and long and so… pointless. I just like the line (not sure of the exact words though) “world war II we said we won but he lost; here we won’t lose !” which is, as a matter of fact, very true and still something most french people don’t always agree about.
