My god yes! You cut out “I truly deeply love you”! I think that’s something I’ve been asking for since the work print. This is now probably the best prequel fan edit ever.

I went back and just tried the whole scene again with a fresh canvas. It just so happened that I was able to cut it so the crossfade to the swell of music as they are carted out happens at pretty much the same point between the first and second go-round of the love theme. It was perfect, but it only happened by scrapping the prior version.

There’s a little bit of static (I think) that ramps up during the pause between “my life” and “I love you”, but it’s not a huge problem.

Very good catch! You found one of the seams. I’ll see what I can do to minimize the odd musical creep, without having the background geonosian noises rising and falling conspicuously.

Wow, thank you for that. As always, I’m glad to hear of them being well received and living up to their goal of functioning as an opening day replacement for the originals in the mind of the viewer.
And just to repeat myself, I’m just adding to an ongoing project and very little of what I’ve done really originated with me. But it’s good to see people enjoying the results regardless.

Hundsdorfex does great work, having contributed a few important shots to my edits. Not to carelessly add to the pile, but I know some people would have liked to see a variety of saber colors in the prequels, or thought it was weird for Sam F*%#%^ Jackson to be the only combo breaker.
One idea that was tossed around when starting my edits would alleviate this with a minimum of work involved. It would take two minor characters and give them their saber colors from the EU. During the battle on Geonosis, Plo Koon’s saber would be yellow and Ki Adi Mundi’s would be purple. We see both of these ignited prominently, and they don’t appear very much. And if you like, one or two other random background Jedi we see for one shot could have a yellow saber. The lady Jedi who had a red saber in the EU never has it ignited onscreen. (Ki Adi Mundi’s would need redoing in Ep3 as well. And one might want to give a yellow blade to one of the Jedi who accompany Windu to arrest Palpy.) For a minimal amount of work you’d have someone else with a purple saber, a few yellow ones, and keeping the majority as being blue or green.

I’d rather watch bith clone wars tv shows

That’d be interesting, but would probably require subtitles.
One more thing that held me back from enjoying Clone Wars (2008) and Rebels is the ugly and unappealing animation. If a few of the main highlights were novelized, I’d honesty prefer to take in the story that way.
