Watched the AVCHD version and it looks clean. Is the plan to release AVCHD's of SotS & TRD still in the plans?
Vote now in wave 1 of the FEOTM Reboot!

DominicCobb said:I only have a few qualms with this edit, and they all have to deal with the ending:
1. Padme doesnât name the newborns. I donât really mind this, but it means that this edit is meant to be watched as part of a 4-5-6-1-2-3 order, which, again, I donât mind. In any other order, itâs just a little confusing, because itâs never explicably stated in this edit that the second baby is Leia. If you watch in chronological order, you know the whole time Luke has a sibling, but whether or not you know itâs Leia depends on how well you were able to pay attention and deduce from this edit. It doesnât really work for a Machete order because, like chronological, the viewer may or may not know the other baby is Leia.

L8wrtr said:But would love ideas on what formats would be most wanted.

FoolsFollowing said:The first shot of Mustafar: This is a really odd choice. You cut to the planet without an establishing shot. Suddenly weâre somewhere that weâve never been before, we donât know where it is or anything. I donât know what this is like in the original, but it seemed very jarring and very non-Star Wars! Does any other scene in the saga do this?
FoolsFollowing said:Yoda vs Emperor.
Firstly, having cut out all three previous scenes of Yoda using a lightsaber (Dooku, Order 66, arriving on Corruscant) I donât think it works to suddenly cut to him fighting Sidious with a lightsaber. If youâre going to go down that route then I think you need to prepare the audience, not just drop it in there.
FoolsFollowing said:Secondly, the scenes that you use of Yoda duelling Sidious is simply horrible. Itâs even worse than when he fights Dooku, so I donât see how you can cut out the former but keep the latter. Maybe theyâre all bad and I just havenât seen it in a while, but its so cartoony and silly. Ugh.
FoolsFollowing said:But thirdly and most importantly, this scene really hurts the character! Yoda is built up to be the equal to the Emperor, he is supposed to be the strongest and certainly wisest Jedi: this fight is the two most powerful characters is the universe fighting. But you have shortened their fight so much that it starts *after* Anakin and Obi Wan are already fighting and it finishes *before* Anakin and Obi Wan are even close to finished fighting. Basically Yoda and Sidious go at each other for like a single round, after which Yoda *gives up*. We then spend the rest of the scene, while Anakin and Obi Wan continue to fight, watching Yoda *run away*. I do not doubt for a second that Obi Wan â even though he absolutely is not willing to kill Anakin, would still *fight to the death* to try and beat him. With such high stakes, only a coward would run away from the fight. And the fact that you have reduced the amount of time that the Yoda fight takes up to barely a few minutes, and then juxtaposed it with Anakin and Obi Wanâs epic duel, it really emphasises Yodaâs weak character. Now I must ask, is this your intention? If it is, I donât really understand it. It goes beyond making Yoda a flawed character, it in fact makes him one of the weakest characters in the series. His decision to run away shows no strength of conviction,
