I’ll compile one when I put it up. But to sum it up I’d say that the basic flow is Hal’s with a lot of extra dialogue nips and tucks from L8wrtrs. Use of JarJar is kind of at a happy medium between the two edits but I agree with Hal’s general philosophy that if he’s present throughout the majority of the movie he should at least have something to do. I’ve removed the “morning of the race” deleted scene and readded the cut-down version of the “working on the pod” scene from l8wrtr’s edit. In fact, the only deleted scene in this version is the scene of Qui-Gon cutting down the probe droid. I’ve also removed the visual of the podrace announcers Fode and Beed, but you still hear both of their voices, which is another compromise between the two edits. I would say that’s the general philosophy of this hybrid. I think l8wrtr is sometimes a little overzealous with his cuts to the point where it can hurt the pacing of the film and character development, but on the other hand Hal’s is too conservative for my tastes and leaves a lot of cringey dialogue, despite some brilliant ideas like cutting the trip to Otoh Gunga completely. This is just an attempt to find a happy medium between the two that suits my personal tastes.

so what’s your ideal edit of the phantom menace? me it would be maybe be all of what you mention but with midicholreans and the chosen one stuff left in but that’s just me.

Midichlorians will not be in my edit. However, I am leaving in the virgin birth and chosen one stuff as both Hal and L8wrtr did. I personally like the implication that Plageuis or Sidious were Anakin’s “father” and the chosen one stuff ties into some Clone Wars plotlines.

but Midichlorians makes sense anakin/vader luke and leia prove it to be fact i don’t get the Midichlorians hate

Unfortunately, Lasderdiscs for both films command inflated prices on Ebay for some reason.

well i found the japanese laserdisc of halloween 4 for 24 dollars on ebay. maybe that has the ultra stereo audio track.

was anyone able to find the halloween 4 and 5 ultra stereo laserdisc audio tracks or at the very least find the laserdiscs that have that audio? if not i understand i just want to get the theatrical experience that’s all.

I’m not sure what to make of you.

Anyway, I found TFA overwhelming on first viewing and need to see it again before I can really render any sort of assessment. It was full of surprises, to be sure, and raised an awful lot of questions. The ending was an enormous tease! I really could have done without the whole doomsday device component, because it felt tacked on.
Like I said, I’m gonna need to see this again to really process it.

sorry read the topic too fast didn’t know it was a review topic

han is killled by his son ben aka kylo ren and luke is in at the end

well SilverWook were there any takers for DocBosch bttf 3 print?

Start playing the edit in your DVD or BR player. Once the certain scenes begin, eject the disc and put in the original. When the sequence is over, put the edit back in.

I mean, it wouldn’t actually be that ridiculous if he was playing via VLC or something. Keep two windows open, cue everything properly before starting, pause and change tabs. I’m sure the yoda fight scene is on youtube or something (I would probably double check any midichlorian scenes on youtube. they’re probably dubbed over for the sake of ridicule).

This really is the only choice for someone who has made it very clear to us a dozen times that he will never edit anything, despite being the #1 requester of things that only he would ever want to watch. I think he actually probably has a good amount of people on his side for the Yoda fight, and I think some edits include that. But he will never, ever find midichlorians in a decent edit. They’re surely one of the driving forces for the creation of this hobby itself. You will generally only find die-hard George apologists that are in favor of the parasites.

luke leia and anakin help the case for midichlorians

It’d be rather easy for you to use even something like QuickTime to cut/paste together a hybrid version from mine and the original.

i don’t have a blu ray player on my computer just dvd so i can’t do it 😦

hal9000 can you please make a redo of you edit that put’s back midicloreans and the yoda fight scenes?

i don’t have editing software and i don’t know how to edit the things i want out of the films.

Hal 9000 said:

Jar Jar is cut about as much as average, I think, but Padme still dies.

is there any edit that removes much of jar jar as possible same goes for the bad lines anakin says and padme stays alive but keeps midicloreans and yoda’s fight scenes?

TV’s Frink said:

There is. It’s called “the official version.”

yeah but i like everything else in hals edit where do i go for an edit with those two parts put back in?

Hal 9000 said:

My old ones from 2007ish did.

does that edit get rid of the annoying parts like jar jar’s antics etc.? also does padme still die in this version?

i wish there was an edit that keeps the midicloreans and yoda’s fight scenes in.

i don’t care it doesn’t bother me i just wish there was an edit that keeps the midicloreans and yoda’s fight scenes in.

i would have to go with removing all the anointing parts of jar jar in phantom menace maybe anakin’s lines in phantom menace and keep midichlreans basically what hal9000 has done but keep yoda’s fight scenes and the midichloreans in the film

SilverWook were there any takers for DocBosch bttf 3 print?

yotsuya hows it coming along?

Hal 9000 said:

Yes, and they’re a way to artificially make Anakin seem special.

how does make him worse than he already is? it doesn’t seem like that a big deal to me.

hal9000 i don’t hate midichlorians i don’t get the hate.

Help me out here, I honestly have trouble seeing what’s wrong with the picture. Could someone point an example out to me or something?

here the dcp image has the right amount of grain where the blu ray makes faces look waxy etc. http://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&d1=874&d2=4005&s1=37253&s2=37257&i=4&l=0
