Episode II is now completed and will be submitted this week.

Finally I have an update. Been a busy month at work so my time has been limited. I also experimented with completely changing the first half of the movie after a suggestion from a test viewer. However, I couldn't get his suggestion to work.

Anyway, to wet the appetite here is the first 4 minutes, which is now completed.

So maybe the Hutlett story should have been included, but very sharply pared down; not so much of the crying baby scenes, or Ahsoka playing mother, etc.

I tried that with my first edit. It wasn't a bad film actually with all the rubbish trimmed out, and I might release it at some point. However, I just didn't have space for it in my movies series.

Some feedback on Ep1. Was viewing on a 5.1 setup if that makes a difference.

1:07:30
After I surrender line, sound of Star destroyers entering frame at high volume

1:12:10
“Really” line high volume (Anakin), with background noise

1:12:29
“master” word high volume (mid-sentence by Yoda)

1:14:55
Grievous hologram is flipped mid-sequence (Jedi swaps from left screen to right)

1:28:53
“Yes master” high volume (Grievous)

1:29:57
“We’re right back where we started” high volume (Obi)

1:46:30
“The time has arrived, we go to battle” high volume (Grievous)

There were a couple of other instances in the first 50mins, but I need to re-watch that to note them down.

 Thanks. I'll take a look at these. I haven't listened to it in 5.1 which may explain why I missed them.

So here are my thoughts on Episode I. Overall I enjoyed it. Though there seemed to be a distinct focus on action over character development and I think the film suffered overall for it. Given that, I could only recommend this to someone who's already seen the show and not first time viewers. But I did enjoy the overall structure of the narrative you managed to cobble together here. Hopefully we'll see more emphasis on character in Episode II!

 Thanks, and I agree about the character development. Unfortunately the main character development from the movie was tied to the Jabba storyline, which was removed.

My main dilemma with this series is going to be the balance between character development and a cohesive storyline. I've just had the first feedback for episode II and his main suggestion is to remove one of the story arcs and replace it with another to produce a tighter story. The downside to this is the removal of a lot of character development.

Episode I is now available as a BluRay if anyone wants it.

I've just finished the full trailer for Episode II

Big push now to finish it in the next 2 weeks.

If anyone is having issues with the .DLC file, upgrading to JDownloader2 seems to solve the problem.

Link has just gone up on .info.

I can't find it on Vimeo when searching.  Is there a specific way to find it?

The container links on fanedit.info comes up 100% offline, for both 720p and 1080p.

 It's available as a stream and a download. PM for details.

Episode II coming along nicely. Almost completed the full trailer and the Movie is almost ready for first viewings.

Please do. All feedback is welcome

How about the audio on these. Are they stereo or surround? If it's surround is there a clean centre channel?

Whatever happened to this?  Anything?  I've been looking everywhere and it's not uploaded yet.

I haven't watched the Clone Wars because of the childish aspect to it, so really looking forward to this!

 It's now available. The download files will be up on Fanedit.info on Monday. If you cant wait that long PM me your email and I'll send you the file for JDownloader.

Alternatively there is a streamable version on vimeo. Password is my username.

Tobar said:

So uh, you got any more of them trailers?

 Not yet. Should have a full trailer for Episode II by the end of the month.

Creating about 100 bmp images in Photoshop and using QuickTime to convert them into an image sequence. Very boring!

There has been a slight delay. Annoyingly I found an audio sync issue in the final scene which needed correcting. This meant I missed the Saturday deadline for Fanedit.info. 

Yes, second part is approaching the end. I'm currently making the opening panning sequence.

As for episode I, the 720 Vimeo version and the 1080 mp4 version are ready to be uploaded. The Fanedit.info page should be up on Monday.

It will be available very soon.

NO. It's alive and kicking. Just been approved by fanedit.org. Just waiting for it to go onto fanedit.info

I hope all's well with the project!

 All is very well. Episode I is completed. It's just taking an age to be approved by Fanedit.org.

 I heard a rumor that it's being reviewed now.

 Your sources are correct :-).

This is amazing!  I can't wait to be able to watch these.  I had attempted my own edit, but was never able to finish it.  Will you be making these available on the spleen?

Vimeo and the spleen. Hopefully very soon.

Pm sent

Episode 1 has just been submitted to fanedit.org for review.

Smudger Updated Fanedit.org today saying he finished his final cut, was doing a watchthrough, and submitting it there.

Hopefully that means that it is being uploaded as we speak.

Yep, had some rendering issues so didn't manage to do my watch through until today. I have some minor tweaks to make and then it will be submitted.

In the meantime here are the banner art and disc art.
