Octorox is count dooku’s sith name going to be retained i ask because it’s in the clone wars.
Yes, I’m a fan of the series so that is part of my intent, although making the movies work on their own terms is still the number one goal. If you catch any blatant contradictions, please let me know.
well in the edit your edit is going to be taken from removes the younglings and ahsoka was shown as a youngling so you have to keep the younglings in things like that. also as a side note is the yoda fights still going to be removed. please reply to both.
So there’s now actually a way to download other than Myspleen. You can PM me for a link.
is your edit going to fit with the clone wars series by which i mean removing what didn’t work but still lining up with the clone wars series.
looks awesome!

I don’t understand your question. Are you asking me if I would prefer a fanedited Original Trilogy?
If that’s that you’re asking, then no. Star Wars Despecialized is my go to. Warts and all, the original Original Trilogy needs no changes.
Except if it’s made by Adywan. I’ll accept Adywan’s edits as a Special Edition, but they wouldn’t supercede Despecialized as my favorite (plus, Adywan won’t be done in a very very long time, and his Episode IV thus far is not SD, so good luck with that.)
…or are you asking if I’d prefer scenes from the OT to be used in the PT? No. The PT footage was filmed differently than the PT, and as such would stand out. Plus, it would look like obviously recycled stock footage and that’s not the best idea.
no i mean using the suit scene and the vader naming scene in empire strikes back or return of the jedi as a flashback scene.
Octorox what’s the latest on your edit and are you doing episode 2 and 3.
It’s out on Myspleen. And yes I will, but I’m waiting for Hal’s Ep2 v4 with the upscaled deleted scenes first.
your edit of ep 1 doesn’t put the deleted scenes back in does it?
Hal is the only one who properly implements the Palpatine Sith-reveal and also does everything else well. L8wrtr and Stanckpac implement it wrong
I don’t have a copy of L8wrtr’s edits on hand, but as far as I remember, mine and his were pretty close? Maybe?
Pretty close. Very pretty close.
how about using the suit scene and the vader naming scene in empire or jedi.
Octorox what’s the latest on your edit and are you doing episode 2 and 3.
What, no one mentioned Q2’s Fall of the Jedi Trilogy yet?
According to Fanedit.org, if you sort by popularity then L8wrtr is first, Q2 is second and Hal is third.
L8wrtr and Hal have editor commentaries whereas Q2(aka. thunderclap) does not, but I say Q2’s edits are the best. Stankpac had a decent Ep3 v2 but his v3 isn’t good.
Frankly, Hal is the only one who properly implements the Palpatine Sith-reveal and also does everything else well. L8wrtr and Stanckpac implement it wrong and Kerr’s edit is obviously sourced from PAL which makes the speed too fast and the voices too high.
Hal’s Ep3 v3 replaced The Death Star with Coruscant, which I loved, but he reverted back in his v4. Only his v4s have commentary.
Only The Cutter, Hal and Q2 have Padme live at the end of Ep3. Only Q2 completely retains OT surprises by removing spoilers.
I don’t like how L8wrtr shrinks the universe by putting in the deleted Greedo fight scene in Ep1 or Yoda talking to Chewie in Ep3, and I don’t like how he cuts Yoda escaping the stormtroopers so we don’t see how he got away. His Ep2 is good, but it doesn’t properly match other editors’ work well enough to be included in a mixed trilogy.
So what’s your favorite edit of the whole prequel trilogy.
I’d go with Kerr’s for episode III. I think that the way he has edited it actually makes me feel sympathy with Anakin, and elevates the film to the best of the prequels. The film is still average, but now at least it isn’t boring.
As a film: 6.5/10
As an edit: 8.5/10
What’s your favorite edit of ep 1 and ep 2?
It’s out, with some minor technical issues. I will have a fixed version out in a few days so you might want to wait.
are you doing color correction and adding back the grain.
I think JMO is familiar with most of the details about all the popular prequel fanedits, if my memory is correct. This is almost definitely going to turn into a midichlorian conversation, by the way.
I don’t know if there is a consensus on favorites, but l8wrtr’s is indeed probably the best well known complete trilogy of very high quality. Around this forum in the last year or two, I would definitely say Hal’s have the most momentum and are preferred by many.
What about octorox’s edit how does his compare to hal’s and l8wrtr’s.
what is considered by most fans to be the best edit of the prequels?
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the intention is to have a pretty fast paced cut. The number one complaint I hear from people about TPM is particular is that “it’s boring” and “I feel asleep during the movie” so I wanted to try to turn the movie into more of a ride, and one of the few ways I have to inject energy into it is through cutting for pacing reasons. Are there any audio edits that you found particularly jarring?
is your edit of tpm out yet?
I checked my current settings against the last screen caps I posted and it is hard to tell the difference. A general less green tint and the dark areas are no longer as oversaturated. I have rendered it three times without changing the settings in any way. I have, however, been tweaking the various scenes, comparing them to the 97 SE and 2006 Gout (The SE colors are very different, but it helps with saturation, contrast, etc). So far I have not changed my basic color correction settings on any of the scenes… though I am considering using the previous version for the burning homestead.
The conclusion I have come to is that a bunch of amateur monkeys must have gotten their hands on this. I have learned Lowry didn’t do any color correction, just dirt removal. That leave George and the people at Lucasfilm. They should be embarrassed by the horrible transfer. And there was simply no need to make some of the changes in saturation and contrast that I have found. The only way to explain the horrible state is that they did not use the original color timings when they scanned it and then tried to fix them afterward. I’ve color corrected TESB and ROTJ and they need almost nothing in comparison… just a bit of de-reding. I think I’m going to post a video next. I’m going to use ANH and ROTJ and compare the reused shots. Both before color correction and after. And maybe with the Gout as well or the 97 SE. I’ll have to see what I’m in the mood for.
when can we expect the video?
It is an odd scene. I actually tried something different when I put together my own personal edit of the movie (a kind of mash-up of various edits I like). I kept the scene, but tried to replace the “NOOOOO!” with some Qui-Gon’s dialogue from the Clone Wars episode ‘Voices.’
It’s the scene where Yoda is in bacta tank and you hear Qui-Gon saying “No… This is not the way.” I placed this over the obnoxious “NOOO!” but I was not at all talented enough to make it work. All I was capable of was reducing the main audio and trying to insert the Clone Wars line, but the background music was just wrong. Plus, the calling out of Anakin’s name was a little too dramatic for the line that followed. I ended up scrapping it and keeping the line as it was but decided on cutting the scene on Mace Windu’s face as the Imperial March is in the background.
But I still I have a weird feeling that with a decent editor it could work. You get some authentic Liam Neeson… you get Qui-Gon seemingly expressing his disappointment in the path that Anakin is taking…
how about you take him saying anakin from phantom menece.
well then all i hope for is a non dnr’d and edge enhancement to heck 4k transfer from universal. again i’m sorry about that thing last year i didn’t know it was a bad place to talk about these kinds of things.
well SilverWook were there not any takers for DocBosch bttf 3 print?
