Just watched Ep IV. I think this may be a good way to watch the TV series in condensed form, but the edit still felt like a handful of mostly disconnected TCW episodes mashed into one incohesive whole. You don't get the sense of a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Rather, you get the Mandalorian arc, the Clovis arc, and the Geonosian arc.
TV-to-Movie fanedits are hard to pull off and rarely successful, and I don't think this is the exception. Sad, because there is stuff from this series that matches the quality of the films. Could I have done it better? Probably not. I'm not sure it's even possible. I will say, however, that the Death Watch episodes are inextricably tied to the Maul episodes, so I don't know why the former is being paired with these Geonosis episodes.
