Original film name: Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace
New film name: Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Re-Edit
Film studio name: LucasFilm
Edit crew name: The original faneditors are anonymous. Remastered by Magnoliafan
Date original film was released: 1999
Date edit was created: ?
Date edit was released: 3/25/2009
Original runtime: 133 minutes
New runtime: 119 minutes
Amount of time cut/added: 14 minutes
Summary:
Right after the famous "The Phantom Edit" came out, another edit of "The Phantom Menace" surfaced, called "The Phantom Re-Edit", also known as "The Phantom Edit 1.2" or "The New York Version". This was released and distributed via VHS tape by an anonymous group. Acquiring a low generation copy was very rare.
So... Magnoliafan used one of these rare tapes as a source and REMASTERED the fanedit using DVD sources to allow for easier trading and improve the quality of trades by removing the quality loss from making Nth generation copies.
THIS is what is released here, known as "The Phantom Edit 1.2 Magnoliafan Remaster" on SL DVD.
Review:
It looks and feels like Star Wars, from the very beginning...
No longer are the Neimoidians bumbling idiots unknowingly aiding the evil Lord
Sidious, they are now more apart of the Phantom Menace than before. The
editors have scrambled up their seemingly Chinese moniker with a new garbled
alien language that must be subtitled. The effort (which improves as the film
goes along) is both believable and convincing.
Jar Jar now speaks in a garbled version of Ahmed Best's voice, with very
different subtitles below the widescreen bars. Instead of being his usual stuff
you are familiar with, he now takes an active role in the solutions of the
movie. Instead of being a casual bystander to the action and direction of the
plot, the character now instigates solutions including the alliance between the
Naboo people and the Gungans, and mentions how upset the Gungans will be if they
disturb their aquatic domain.
This is a far more extensive edit of the original movie, making Jar Jar into a
Jedi-like Sage, maturing up all of the Gungans and tons of minor cuts, edits and
changes to pacing throughout. Speaking of cuts, the film runs at a fast-paced
118 minutes, so there's been plenty of new deleted scenes though all of the
action. Wipe transitions and music has been melted back together so it is hard
to tell the difference from how it originally went. There are no new added
scenes in the movie, just new cuts, transitions and edits to move the story
along a bit faster.
