MagnoliaFan Edits: Ep I "Balance Of The Force", and Ep II "The Clone War" (Released)

I just finished The Clone War.

Likewise as Balance of the Force, this is a distinct improvment on the film.

If someone ever requests that I show them "episode II", this is what I'll bring. Definatley.

From little things like deleting Obi-Wans odd comment "take a deep breath" and Anakin's "...for a senator, I mean", to making Dooku seem more and more like the rogue Jedi he was meant to be.
(Granted, the yellow saber effect isn't of professional quality, but DAMN good for any kind of fan attempt. Great work)

Balance of the Force and The Clone War are what I consider to be the true Episodes 1 and II.

EDIT: Holy Crap! I was letting the end credits play through as I typed the above. But as they were ending, there was a rather... "interesting" sound clip added to it.
I won't spoil it for those who don't have them yet.

And for those who have it but don't know... WATCH THE END OF THE END CREDITS ON THE CLONE WAR! Lol

I just got my MagnoliaFan DVDs today in the mail. Thanks, Rik.

I've already seen Balance, but haven't watched Clone War yet. I skipped around to parts of TCW and it looks good so far.
It doesn't seem as drastic as BOTF, but a definate improvment.

I wonder how he is going to handle Dooku in Episode III. Surely he'll have to be revealed as Sith eventually. We'll hafta see I guess.

This is how I plan no packaging my DVDs in the (hopefully) near future:
Each case is a single case with an extra holder inside so it can hold two discs.

Case one:

Tr47 Star Wars
De-SEized Star Wars Official DVD (by whoever eventually completes them and makes them avaiable)

Case Two:

Tr47 Empire Strikes Back
De-SEized Empire Strikes Back Official DVD

Case Three:

Tr47 Return of the Jedi
De-SEized Return of the Jedi Offical DVD

Case Four:

The Phantom Menace
Balance of the Force

Case Five:

Attack of the Clones
The Clone War

Case Six:

Revenge of the Sith
MagnoliaFan Edit of ROTS

(For the extra discs for TPM and AOTC and ROTS i will set aside in sleeves on their own, since I dont really care much for them)

Yes, Balance is totally different.

To be frank, I didn't really think the "Phantom Edit" really helped the movie much. They just cut stuff out and that was it.

Balance of the Force cuts and trims little tiny things that you might not even notice at first, and even adds interesting things to it as well.

The Phantom Menace = embarrasing
Balance of the Force = what *i* would bring to a party, in place of TPM

Hehe.

As amazing as the MeBeJedi version sounds and seems, the TR47 version seems to look a bit sharper and better in picture quality in those screenshots.
We need to have a downloadable video file of one scene of like the official version, TR47, and MeBeJedi. Or any combination of "versions".

I mean a full sized video download of one scene for multiple versions for comparison.
