I do not own any of this material, it is the property of Lucasfilm and Disney, this is a fan edit provided under legal Fair Use. I consider this a criticism and transformative improvement to most of the scenes in the movies. About the same length as a LOTR movie, with an end credit sequence! NO ninja Yoda, childish droids, silly fluff, cringey dialogue, and cutting Jar Jar down to the bare minimum, reducing him to a refugee/senator. I've also recut a few things I just thought would flow better, such as making most lightsaber fights a single scene, instead of cutting between several simultaneous battles. I rearranged the appearance order of certain scenes and added several deleted scenes as well. I also took out anything that slowed down the action, and sometimes had to patch scenes together in strange ways after having removed what was between them. I think the result is pretty good, and most of the odd cuts I make are not noticeable unless you're looking for it. Making this, clarifying and refocusing various story points, I gained a newer and deeper appreciation for this trilogy's plot and characters than ever before, and I think I have succeeded in bringing out the compelling, dark, mature, and intelligent drama that's also a sci-fi action ride that the prequels were supposed to be, rather than the unfocused borefest they largely turned out to be. However, I felt there was so much that I had good memories of, and this largely represents my head-canon. Note- I do enjoy the first film uncut, the podracing and desert battle with Maul, but it simply didn't fit into the overall vision, mostly for time purposes. Revenge of the Sith is probably my favorite of the three, but has some pretty cringey moments, but not as bad as Attack of the Clones, which I would never watch uncut again.... but I would watch this version over and over and over.... enjoy.
