Fair point, and I guess those lines would be fine. The “fun begins” line was removed because it was an OT reference that doesn’t need to be there, but you’re right that people like it so that may let it win out for a ‘crowdpleaser’ alternate edit.

And by all means, please let me know about that music transition you find jarring.

The ‘maximalist’ or ‘purist’ version of my AOTC edit is on its way up right now. (I may never be able to log into myspleen ever again from the looks of it, so that may not happen.)

Here are the changes made, starting from the main Hal9000 fan edit:

  • Original title is used in the opening crawl (‘Attack of the Clones’ instead of ‘The Approaching Storm’)
  • Reinstated dialogue establishing explicitly that attachments are forbidden for Jedi
  • Reinstated two scenes (Obi-Wan, Mace, and Yoda dialogue scene as well as Yoda and the younglings) to retain establishing explicitly that Jedi are trained from extremely young and in order not to use the DVD landing platform deleted scene
  • Reinstated two instance of Count Dooku’s Sith name, Darth Tyrannus
  • Reinstated dialogue establishing explicitly that Boba Fett is a clone
  • Reinstated Yoda’s lightsaber duel with Count Dooku

This version features subtitles, though does not feature a commentary track.

Heya, I just recently learned this exists. I’m planning a future chronological group watch of the whole series but I wanted to spice things up with some of these alternate versions.

tl;dr I would love a link (mostly curious about the Nobody-edit myself even though that isn’t as up-to-date as I understand?)

Thanks!

PM sent. And you are correct; at this point I would suggest watching the main version of Ascendant instead of the Rey Nobody version for that reason.

Honestly, I’m starting to get very fearful right now.

What are you talking about? Are you ok?

Sorry, I just feel extremely worried about all these things that kept getting in the way of the Revisited edits being finished.

Pretty selfish viewpoint, no? Not “I’m worried about adywan” but “I’m worried I won’t get to see Revisited.”

To be fair, it’s entirely possible that Adywan has been working on Revisited for this user’s entire life. 😉

To keep things involving the effort to revise the prequel trilogy edits one more time and include an alternate set of them to be more ‘maximalist’ and retain the original titles mostly within this one thread, I wanted to ask:

Are there any higher quality sources for the deleted scenes? Currently I have AI upscales that are a few years old. Nothing wrong with them, but I don’t know if there is anything better out there.

Also, I could still use an AI line to replace 3PO’s line in ROTS while taking off for Mustafar, “I think I’m beginning to get the hang of this flying business, hmm.”

Everything else I think I can get through myself, at a snail’s pace.

It’s really good!

The only nitpick I have, is that the smooch at 0:46 is a little bit too loud. It sounds more like it would do in a parody of kiss, than an actual kiss.

I can make it quieter for sure; thanks!

Actually, when it is quieter it just sounds like a weird sound or like it’s an editing mistake. Works fine without it. There’s no kiss foley at all in the scene otherwise, save for Padme’s little gasp. So… no sound for their now-slower pull away works.
