EMPEROR: Good, good then the Sith will rule once more, and we shall have peace. 

Um, aren't the Sith already ruling?

Well they are but in the original trilogy no one says the word Sith so I thought he could say it there. And I think it would fit and its a great line. 

Not to beat a dead horse, but if the Sith are already in control, there's no reason for the Emperor to imply that once Luke is turned, then the Sith would be in control.  They're already in control!  It makes zero sense.

VADER: How is that possible? He was living on the planet farthest from the bright center of the universe, Owen and Beru were keeping him down on the farm, he knew nothing of the world around him and had never even heard of the Force. Then within two days he had come out of nowhere, showcased Jedi skills, and forever changed the course of Galactic history by DESTROYING THE FREAKING DEATH STAR!!! How the fuck did that happen to us?!!

Come on Vader.  If you're going to drop the F-bomb once, why not twice?  Go whole hog on that sucker.

My surround sound system is temporarily dismantled (due to a certain toddler pulling speaker stands over) so I won't be able to compare audio for a while.

Ha, I can relate.  We reorganized our living room to account for that as best we could, and one of the things we were able to do is get the rear speakers where she couldn't get to them for now.  Of course, climbing up the couch still presents a problem.

I remember seeing this thing where Lucas is with Spielberg and he's talking about the droid troopers and he's basically saying they'll suck and be useless in a fight so the jedi cut them down easily. And he says it'll be great. Huh?

If I remember correctly it was on the Phantom Menace DVD extras, either the main doc or one of the web docs.  Hilarious stuff.

JasonN’s edits are also popular. Two posts above this one TVF calls JasonN’s the best version of the PT he has seen, and I have often encountered that opinion.

I should be careful when I talk about the relative merits of the prequel edits.  I did mean it when I said that JasonN's are my favorite.  But I am taking everything into account, which includes audio/video quality (especially 5.1 audio, which is something I dearly love).  I think Slumberland's edits are also excellent, and from an editing perspective I think I slightly prefer Slumberland to JasonN.  However,  JasonN's A/V is much better, so when I sit down to watch one, I pick JasonN.

There are other fanedits out there as well. I guess the best thing to do would be to spend a little time reading about them and deciding which seem most appealing to you. My “vote” is for the ADM cuts.

For those who don't know, I've done full cutlist scripts of all the prequel edits I've seen.  I've posted links to all the scripts on OT.com - just follow the link in my sig.

Something else about the 4-5-1-2-3-6 order appeals to me that I just thought about.  I find JasonN's prequel fanedits to be the best that I have seen to this point.  But one thing that bugs me is that he cut out Leia's birth in EP 3.  Now, it doesn't bother me that he did this if I watch EP 3 in isolation.  But If I were to watch in order 1-2-3-4-5-6, it presents a problem when we get to 6.

My original rationalization was this: The filmakers (hah!) deliberately concealed Leia's birth from the audience so it would be a surprise when we get to Leia and Luke in EP 6.  Of course the problem is, why would they conceal Leia's identity in the prequels, but not Vader's?

But if I watch it 4-5-1-2-3-6, this problem would go away.  We don't know Vader's identity until the end of 5.  Then we watch 1-3, without knowing about Leia, and when we get to 6, we are surprised to learn who Leia is.  Interesting.

I've been thinking quite a bit about how to present Star Wars to my daughter, although she is still several years away from watching it.  I always assumed we would go 4-5-6-1-2-3, but now I've got to consider this 4-5-1-2-3-6 proposal instead...
