...do you have plans on adding EP4 and 5 to the Q2 collection?


Probably nothing I'll release. I think Adywan's version is the best there is, and while there are a two or three minor things I take issue with, it's not worth the time to edit. Same with Empire: there is only one thing I'd change.

So for the time required to capture, build, create artwork, and upload for what amounts to maybe a 30 sec in each film... it's just not worth it.

Wow. What a terrific review. Thank you for your thoughts Hal.

I want to only address one comment you made as I think your review speaks for itself.

My only other complaint, and unfortunately both HD sets of prequel trilogy fan edits retain these, surrounds the bound up issues of Anakin's virgin birth and the chosen one prophecy. I don't really need to say much about these.
 

I'm in the minority, I know, but I love the conversation and insinuation between Palpatine and Anakin during the opera scene. The idea that Darth Plagous (sic?) or Palpatine himself "created" Anakin works for me, and makes him much more manipulative and a much greater threat than anyone guessed. I knew I wanted this conversation left untouched in edit, so that is why I left the "virgin birth" alone in Ep 1.

Its funny how when you see a movie as it is when it comes out in theaters how you like it that way, kinda like us here, we love the Original Trilogy the way it was in theaters so we have amazing people here that edit it out of George Lucas remade versions. My daughters saw the first 3 episodes in the theater and like them that way, of course they are girls(12 & 14), but I like thunderclaps versions better myself. Great job once again thunderclap.


Thank you for the kind words, and I'm happy you enjoyed them.

I look forward to showing these to my sons when they're older (currently 3 and 1). Thankfully, I can stop the damage before it's done with Lucas's version. :)

Aside from a few slightly jarring cuts in the music, Phantom Menace's awkward ending (which legitimately jump-scared me when I got to it), and the blockade run's somewhat frenetic editing it was incredibly good.


That final music cut... what version of TPM did you watch? Version 1 (93 min) or Version 2 (89 min)? With Version 2 I tweaked it a bit to make it a little less jarring by increasing the music to try and blend the volume levels a bit. But, in all honesty, I don't think it's possible to make it 100% fluid since the music isn't designed to go together naturally right there.

Out of curiosity, what song is playing in the second half of the trailer? It sounds familiar but I can't quite place it.


The music is by Clint Mansell. The score itself was for Requiem for a Dream, but this fully orchestrated version was done, I think, for the original Two Towers preview. That might be where you've heard it.

Strange issue here.  Downloaded the BD25 version from binsearch.info.  Everything downloaded ok, and repaired ok...however, when the extraction occurs, I get a bad CRC error on one of the .rar files.  Tried WinRAR and IZarc to extract.  Both failed. 

The funny thing with WinRAR however, is that I can stop the extraction at around 70% as the 00005.m2ts has finished extracting...copy it out of the folder, and play it before it fails.  The only problem with this is that it has no timestamp on it, so I can only play it linearly, without the ability to jump around, fast forward, etc...


What episode? Someone downloaded Ep 2 and had a similar issue, but successfully repaired it by opening the first vol PAR2 file instead of the main PAR2 file in MultiPar (NOT QuickPar). You might want to give that a try to see if it resolves your problem.

It's good you reminded of this. I just finished a slightly revised version cutting another 3 min as well as one other minor change. I'll hold off on doing this until you get me the subtitles.

I don't have Ep 2 on Demonoid but the DVD version is available on MF. Also, if you'd like an early look at Ep 3 I'd prefer you to do that one first since I want to get that out the first week of August. I would be much happier releasing one version as opposed to two.
