Update: I made some improvements to the audiovisual quality. I also created a new video showcasing the changes in more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI0zbqn-wDc

If I already shared the previous version with you, you’ll find the new one in the same folder. Otherwise just reach out to me via PM.

I’m happy that someone is talking about this!

I feel the same way towards this movie. It’s not great but I see the potential. The first half, up until the first dinosaur encounter, felt a bit boring. Mostly because I didn’t really connect with any of the characters. Some cutting/trimming in the beginning would definitely be an improvement. I like your idea of making a new opening text and removing any mention of a dying public interest in dinosaurs. That would bring this movie closer to the vibe of the original JP, which would be in line with the title “Rebirth”. Not sure if I would remove the prologue, though … it’s not amazing but it’s still an ok intro and gives us a taste of what kind of creatures to expect. Otherwise you would probably have to start directly with the “team member recruitment” which, as I said, wasn’t very interesting.

Looking forward to your edit!

Update: Version 2 is now finished!

The new version is available in 4K HDR and SDR, with 5.1 Audio and English subtitles. Apart from the quality upgrades, I have made some improvements:

• created my own Opening Crawl
• improved nearly every transition
• fixed some continuity errors
• edited Palpatine attacking the Jedi (faster, more ferocious)
• a soundtrack change for the credits
• various minor dialogue improvements

I also made video(s) that showcase every change and transition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgBqBDKXbHU.

If I already shared the previous version with you, the new ones should be in the same folder. Otherwise just reach out to me via PM.

Watched it last night and as someone who has watched this movie over and over since i was a kid. All i can say is you made it even more of a masterpiece. The intertwining of the separate storylines leading to the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker was amazing. Getting the to final duel between Anakin and Obi Wan felt earned and so rewarding. Well done!!!

Thank you for your comment! It means a lot to me. I’m glad you liked it

… I was thinking it felt pretty vital to showing how much Anakin felt he could confide in Padme …

Haven’t thought about it from that angle before but you’re absolutely right!

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones ‘Sanded Down’ (TPM Extension)

DISCLAIMER: This is an extension and modification of Octorox’s Attack of the Clones ‘Sanded Down’ edit, which is reflected in the title and artwork. While he wasn’t involved in the creation of this version, I have his permission to share it with you.

Introduction

Hello there,
This edit builds on another already great version of AotC, with the goal of turning it into the starting point for the prequels — essentially allowing you to skip Episode I (TPM) entirely. To achieve this, I placed the Darth Maul fight from TPM and a scene from Kenobi before the Star Wars text crawl. Beyond that, I made only a few minor adjustments like reintroducing some scenes I felt were missing from the original edit. Here is a video showing some of the highlights incl. the new opening scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPzEN3col-E

I’m happy to hear about your thoughts and feedback in the comments. For pure link requests, please send me a PM.

Intention

My vision for the prequels is for them to be entirely centered around the clone wars era. My version of the prequels consists of the Clone Wars TV Show (my preferred viewing) bookended by two movies: This one and my other edit The Clone Wars x Revenge of the Sith.

AotC is a good starting point. However, by not watching TPM, you would miss the cool fight scene with Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Darth Maul. Also, Anakin and Obi-Wan’s character introduction in AotC is very weak. To solve both things, I had the idea to begin with the Darth Maul fight. At the end of that sequence, Obi-Wan promises Qui-Gon that he will train ‘the boy’. The next scene is from the Kenobi series and shows Obi-Wan and Anakin starting a training session. By adding these scenes, we achieve so much in so little time: From the perspective of a person that has only watched the Original Trilogy before we see that the Jedi are at the height of their power, conveyed through the fast-paced lightsaber fight; we see Darth Maul, learning that the Jedi have enemies using the Dark Side; we see the maneuver that Obi-Wan pulls off to defeat Maul (mirroring what Anakin would later try to do in RotS); we also learn that there is a boy who is the chosen one and who will bring balance, and that Obi-Wan promises to train him. The next scene conveys that he kept his promise and we see this ‘chosen one’, and it is apparent that this is none other than Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader. The short conversation between Anakin and Obi-Wan also establishes their relationship quite nicely.

I guess you already know that AotC is very flawed and there are countless edits that address these flaws. The reason I went with Octorox’s Sanded Down, is that it is my favorite since it combines some of the best ideas from other edits.

Special Thanks

Of course, big thanks to Octorox for his Sanded Down edit and also the creators of the edits that his was based on (namely The Approaching Storm by Hal9000 and The Republic Divided by L8wrtr).

Changes

The following is a list of changes made to Star Wars: Attack of the Clones ‘Sanded Down’. I don’t know about all the changes in itself but you can read more about it here. Generally speaking though, it improves the pacing by cutting a lot of scenes and dialogue, adds deleted scenes, makes Anakin less creepy, the romance more believable, and Obi-Wan’s road to Kamino more straightforward.

• Added two scenes after “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away …”
• The first scene is the Dath Maul fight from Episode I (copied from The Phantom Edit)
• The second scene is from the Kenobi show where he begins a training session with Anakin (de-aged).
• The Star Wars title crawl appears right after their lightsabers clash
• Re-inserted the scene where Anakin grieves for his mother’s death and tells Padmé that he killed
  the Tusken Raiders. The scene was trimmed, so that Anakin’s statements don’t come off as too extreme. No more talk of “slaughtering them like animals” and “Not just the men …”. I felt this scene was necessary, to get a glimpse into his dark side and to see how affected he is by his mother’s death.
• Re-inserted a trimmed version of Anakin and Padmé’s droid-factory scene (copied from L8wrtr). This improves the pacing and makes Padmé’s love confession later more believable since Anakin has basically just saved her life for the second time.
• Moved the original creator’s production tag to the end (removing it did not feel right to me)

My other edits

• The Clone Wars x Revenge of the Sith
• The Clone Wars Pilot (Battle of Christophsis)

I just watched the first episode, and I’m already genuinely in awe of how good this is!
Great job making the story more mature while still keeping the overall tone light and fun. The recoloring is really well done - it might seem like a minor thing at first, but it makes everything so much more visually appealing. I don’t think I ever would’ve wanted to watch Rebels again, but this… this got me excited!

Hey! I’m very interested in this version! Just rewatched Episode III in Theaters, I wonder how this version goes, could you send me the link please?

Sent you the link. I’m about to watch Episode III in theaters on Sunday, too!

You have probably seen the original image that Lucasfilm has put out recently … but it was missing Fives!
I took it upon myself to add him, Luminara, Pryce and a faint mural of the Mortis gods. Have fun spotting them!

(Solution: see this Reddit post (2nd image))

that is nice, are u gonna edit the entire show ?

No, for now, I am happy with just the pilot and the finale. But I have worked out my personal viewing order & episode selection and I want to make that more accessible to people who want to (re-)watch the show without going through all the trouble of clicking through Disney+ just to find the next episode.

I am working on a little website that should hopefully make things easier (and promote my fan-edits, haha)

Hi,
could you please add my edit The Clone Wars (S1:E0 Battle of Christophsis) (Released)?
It belongs to the following category: 2008 ‘The Clone Wars’ theatrical film projects

Thank you

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (S1:E0 Battle of Christophsis)

Introduction

Hello there,
I want to share with you one of my earlier edits which strips down the Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie to a ~20 minute-long story that should serve as the pilot episode for the TV show. It focuses only on the battle happening on Christophsis while also introducing Ahsoka. Anything to do with the Jabba the Hutt kidnapping plot line has been removed. Here is a video showing the new opening montage and the transitions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI0zbqn-wDc

I’m happy to hear about your thoughts and feedback in the comments. For pure link requests, please send me a PM.

Intention

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a movie that looks like mashup of multiple episodes with different story lines that vary vastly in narrative quality. The main plot is about the kidnapping of Jabba the Hutt’s son, and it has never been enjoyable to me. So much so, that on my rewatches of the show, I would only watch the first ~25 minutes, just to get Ahsoka’s introduction and the first main battle. However, even the first part has mentions of Jabba’s son’s kidnapping, and especially for a first-time viewer, it would be weird if that plot-line never resolved. That’s why I wanted to create something that truly never mentions that plot line. Besides cutting out these specific scenes, I made a new introduction sequence from scenes and narrations from other Clone Wars episodes. In general, this new beginning also makes for a much better introduction scene for Anakin and Obi-Wan as we are dropped right into the action. The result is a ‘short film’ that has the runtime of a standard episode and acts as a good introduction to the Clone Wars TV show.

Together with my other edit Star Wars: The Clone Wars x Revenge of the Sith it bookends the TV show quite nicely. I have made my own episode order which you can check out here: https://clonewars-viewing-order.streamlit.app/

Additional Info

• 1080p (~2GB)
• Runtime: ~23 min
• English subtitles (Big thank you to Bored at 3AM)

Changes

• Changed the introduction sequence by using the narration and scenes from S1:E16 The Hidden Enemy, as well as scenes from S2:16 Cat and Mouse, and the movie itself. All three belong to the same story arc, which is why it works well. The narration also fits perfectly, since Anakin’s attack maneuver could be considered part of the “daring ambush” that is mentioned in the narration.
• Removed every scene related to the Hutt-kidnapping plot line
• Removed the scene in which Yularen first talks to Windu and Yoda
• Removed the first scene of Obi-Wan and Anakin. The story is more engaging when we are dropped right
  into the battle. It also makes Anakin’s first appearance more epic.
• The story ends after Anakin accepts Ahsoka as his Padawan. Everything after that was cut (except
  for some of the credits)

My other edits

• The Clone Wars x Revenge of the Sith
• Attack of the Clones ‘Sanded Down’ (TPM Extension)

Have you thought of incorporating the clip on YouTube by Hello There called Anakin vs Obi-Wan Clone Wars Animation? It looks so close to actual Clone Wars animation and is simply superb. You should check it out!

Battle of the Heroes - Clone Wars Fan Animation

What do you think?

That is a very interesting idea!
In my opinion, it would be a bit tricky to incorporate it here, though. Throughout the edit you mostly see Anakin and Obi-Wan in live-action. Switching to animation right at the climax would feel a little jarring to me. Also, I like how RotS intercuts this fight with the Yoda-Emperor fight. Keeping this while only having one of the fights be animated would be odd.

However, I believe your idea would work perfectly in a Clone Wars-Only project like this one for example.

Do you agree?
