Finally announcing this one as I had to pull it after a major error was highlighted.*
The original 'Revenge Of The Sith' was the only PT film that even vaguely worked for me, however there were still plenty of things that were not right. In this edit, I've added scenes at the beginning that make Anakin and Obi-Wan's relationship more friendly and jovial (To throw the dark ending into sharp relief). All Padme's deleted scenes are restored so she is now more akin to the strong Senator character we saw in Episode I & II (With the added bonus that Bail has more screen time). She actually has a purpose in this edit, to plot against Palpatine's rise (Instead of just sitting in her apartment fretting). Her dialogue is also alot better now, more in character as the powerful Senator she is. I've reworked alot of the Palpatine, Padme and Anakin material in the middle act to make Anakin's decent more believable. You can now see Palpatine stoking his paranoia about his abilities and the Jedi council, while also pushing him to distrust Padme (Now with some justification). We can see that Palpatine is slowly isolating Anakin from everyone that cares about him.
I've made the usual trims to remove bad Digi-Doubles and upped the pace of the Duels in places. I've also seperated Yoda and Kenobi's duels with the sith. This gives Yoda's fight more power, as it no longer feels like a distraction from the main Kenobi vs Anakin thow down. Plus the emotonal 'landing-platform' scene now forms a natural breathing space for the audience between the Yoda fight and the final epic duel on Mustafar. Most importantly I have gone through and removed all references to Anakin being called Vader and you do not see him being put into the suit. Because I've created these FanEdits to be watched in Episode order by future young fans... who will still get a mighty surprise at the end of ESB, hurray! (Of course, the clever boys and girls might just work it out! ;-)).
(I'll include a seperate changelist below detailing everything)
Here is the cover for the forthcoming BR:
At the minute ROTS:Reborn is finished and available as a 4.5gb .*mkv file. This will be followed by standard DVD and a 25GB-BR.
Here is a clip of the kind of work I've done in the middle act via Vimeo...
This is the thrilling opening sequence with more fun and less R2 flying! (FYI I've since fixed the audio glitch at 4.33):
A compilation of all the material I cut or never added back (With a humorous text commentary):
This is an early re-cut of the finale with the Vader reveal still in (But with the idiotic Death Star footage replaced):
And here's a little bit of fun I made:
The sources for this edit are:
- ROTS 2004 DVD
- ROTS 2011 Blu-Ray (And bonus disc)
- ROTJ GOUT DVD
- ROTJ Soundtrack CD
- ROTS Soundtrack CD
- Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II Soundfiles
* Big thanks to Nerdman3000 for telling me that I'd messed up an hour and a quarter in. I'd removed 9 out of the 10 lines or scenes that reveal Vader but uploaded a version where Yoda still says "Consumed by Darth Vader". It kinda made all the other work a bit of a waste of time :-D
