I like to complain about the prequels, but I don’t remember the dialogue and context in the first pic. Was Windu saying the Council would find the identity of Maul, or was he using the plural form in a broad sense to include Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan?
The line immediately before it:
Stop it, you guys are making me blush 😃
I’m glad you guys like it!
Here’s a longer preview: (Remember to turn on subtitles!)

I’ve color-corrected all of it and I’ve rewritten most of the dialogue for better characterization.
If I actually decide to finish this thing I’ll make it its own thread.
I understand that ‘Jedi being hypocrites lead to their downfall’. That’s fine. It’s just that I don’t care about the Jedi in the first place- so I can’t care about their downfall.
What I look for in a movie is likable characters. I like Luke Skywalker, I like Han Solo, and I like Leia Organa.
You know what trio I don’t give two shits about? Anakin, Padme, and prequel Obi-Wan!
Every scene in that trilogy is the worst because I don’t like the characters and I don’t care if they succeed. I don’t even know what Obi-Wan wants! He doesn’t have an arc in the prequels! In TPM he tells Qui-Gon to be more boring so that he could be on the council. In AOTC he fights with Anakin the whole movie, talking about how arrogant he is. And in ROTS Obi-Wan barely considers bringing Anakin back to the good side. He feels bad about it, sure, but he has no reservations telling Yoda to kill him instead!
“And he was a good friend” my ass.
Anakin, our protagonist, isn’t relatable in any way! He’s an annoying little boy in TPM, he’s a weirdo sex-pervert in AOTC, and he’s a bipolar maniac in ROTS! He doesn’t have a fall from grace in my mind because we never see him in a likable state!
Padme’s just boring. I don’t care about negotiating support in the senate. I don’t care about “fixing up the baby’s room on Naboo”. Nothing that character does ever matters, especially in ROTS. She just sits and talks and dies. The only reason George had her in the movies is because Luke and Leia had to have a mommy.
The droid conveyor belt scene could have been fine if I cared about the characters (and if it wasn’t just a last-minute thought.)
Star Wars Special Edition 2011 : Official Blu-Ray
This is my favorite fan-edit/preservation.
Yep. Had to foley the whole thing. Thanks for the encouragement!
Here’s a hypothetical opening to a Tarantino/Japanese inspired 3-in-1:

I stole the dialogue from The Blackened Mantle.
Didn’t you know that all gay people are HIV positive?
Jedit: Whenever I get a physical at my doctor there’s a little questionnaire you’ve got to fill out and one of the questions is “Have you ever felt any homosexual thoughts” or something to that effect.
^ The audio-book is better. Bruce Campbell’s voice makes everything better.
“Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Imabadguy the wise?”
It was an international dick-measuring contest.
Episode II looks like plastic.
JEDIT:
Japanese art can be good. Anime is not art.
Spirited Away is art.
- the look. After seeing a trilogy filled with green screen footage poorly composited over CGI backgrounds it was a PLEASURE to watch real sets, real locations, real props etc.
You do realize practically all the backgrounds that are composited into the Prequels are miniatures.
That doesn’t make them look any better.
The elevator scene in Attack of the Clones is pretty bad. It has by far the laziest writing in the saga. During re-shoots George probably realized that Obi-Wan and Anakin hated each-other, so he thought that that one scene should even it out.
JEDIT: It’s not the worst, though. I think the worst part of the prequels is when the pack animal farts in Jar-Jar’s face.
Kashyyyk looks better in Battlefront II than it does in the actual movie.
What’s funny about that is Kashyyyk in Episode III is one of the only locations with real world footage (Thailand and China).
Here’s something I quickly threw together using that footage:
password: throw
I color corrected and sharpened the clip to have it better match up with the surrounding footage.
I also added new sound effects to account for the camera being closer (you can hear the saber whooshing and you can better hear Luke’s throw)
It’s hip to be square.
Now get the FUCK off of my lawn.
“Oh, fuck, more rumors will be perpetuated. I have no neck, I have small hands, I fuck bees… To be fair, I have read some very strange things that you guys have made rumors of on Twitter. It’s been a fucking… it’s been a journey and a half. Right, the spider dungeon, right… the spider dungeon’s not a rumor, that’s real.” - Vinny Vinesauce
Oof!
It gets better and better as it goes on!
JEDIT: Oops!
Every. Single. Scene. that Anakin and Padme share, is far funnier and/or painful than anything I can think of in ROTS.
“You’re so… beautiful.”
“It’s only because I’m so in love”
It’s funnier than the fascist picnic, at least.
I just spilled 200°C molten plastic on my hand.
This really fucking hurts.
Ouch!
You’re pretty good.
Pretty… good?
