There are many edits of Episodes 1-3 where people try and fix many of the wrongs. This is another attempt by a YouTube user that goes by JeremyMWest-Esquire.

I've only watched a little bit of Phantom Menace but so far I like most of his changes. The only one that kind of bugs me is the sound he used for Jar Jar's voice. (though I did like that he has the Gungans speak their own language)

Phantom Menace

quote:

Hi everyone! Since I've been recuperating from tonsil surgery, I had some time to go back and re-edit the Phantom Menace Anti-Cheese version into 1080 HD. This was by far the biggest request I had about this edit, but when I did the first version all I had was my SD version to work with. Well, this HD version does indeed look better and the puppet Yoda has now been replaced by CGI Yoda which isn't a bad thing.

The HD version is basically the same edit as the other SD version, with one significant new edit. I decided to take out the scene where Anakin asks Padme if she's an angel. I was torn on the scene in the original edit, but I have heard the cries of the people and have removed it from this new edit. Other than that, the edit is the same except for a few minor things I re-worked that I didn't like in the original edit. So, I guess you can consider this the Anti-Cheese Special Edition.

Here's a brief listing of the edits:
- Nemoidian and Gungan voices are re-vocalized with alien dialect and subtitled.
- Journey to Gungan underwater city removed
- Jar Jar is now a useful character instead of an annoying tag-along
- Nemoidians are much more devious and less cowardly
- Childish Battle Droid dialog removed
- Queen Amidala's voice is pitch-shifted back to her normal pitch. (Still could not remove her horrible British accent)
- Naboo pilot Ric Olié's endless plot exposition removed when appropriate
- Midichlorian references removed
- Anakin immaculate conception removed
- All fart and poop jokes removed
- Anakin is edited to be a more deliberate hero instead of an accidental one.
- Removed as many "Yippe!" and "Whoa!" and "Whee!" exclamations as possible.
- Removed the two headed pod race announcer
- Shortened the podrace intro scene and tightened the whole race for more tension
- Removed the entire sequence of trying to capture the Viceroy at the end.

Final run-time about 92 minutes.


Attack of the Clones

quote:

Following in my tradition of editing the Prequels, I give you the Anti-Cheese version of Attack of the Clones. This film had some cool stuff in it, but was horribly mangled by the awful dialog and acting, especially between Padme and Anakin. There was also a lot of extra cheese in this one as well that needed to go. So, Anakin and Padme's scenes were drastically edited to make Anakin way less whiny and petulant, and most of the cringe-worthy dialog was removed. Jar-Jar's voice as well as the voice of the Neimodians were either removed or replaced. Several scenes were removed entirely, most notably Anakin's breakdown in the shop at the Lars homestead after killing the sandpeople, and R2 and C3PO are removed entirely from the ending battle in the droid factory and the arena. Those scenes were just too much cheese for my liking. There's about 100 other little edits that tighten things up and helped this fatty lose about 20 minutes of run-time- and frankly I think it's for the better. Again, your mileage may vary.


Revenge of the Sith

quote:

As the final chapter in my Prequel Anti-Cheese anthology, I present to you my edit of Revenge of the Sith. Before you ask, yes- I took out Vader screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" at the end. Honestly, I thought that was about all I needed to do, because Jar Jar only said 2 words in this film so I thought it would be an easy edit. Turns out that I needed to cut about 15 minutes of cheese in order to get this baby down to about 2 hours and 5 minutes.

I won't give a full cut list, but here's some of the major stuff gone:
- Most of the childish dialog from the battle droids on Grevious' ship at the beginning is out.
- Dooku's unnecessary flip off the balcony-gone.
- The Nemoidian pilot's voice was changed and subtitled. He sounded exactly like Grandpa Simpson to me, so he had to go.
- Removed some of Grevious' over-the-top dialog
- Removed the incredibly awkward balcony scene of Anakin and Padme saying they're so in love because they're so beautiful because they're so in love. Good grief.
- Midichlorian reference is gone
- The Tarzan Wookies are gone- I'm sure that made someone laugh, but not me.
- Nute Gunray's voice is changed and subtitled
- Sidious' cork-screw jumping attack is gone, and frankly he's scarier without it. Unfortunately, I couldn't make the other Jedi with Mace fight any better than they did. They Lightsaber about as good as Stormtroopers shoot.
- Sidious' horrible delivery of "No-No-No! You will die!" has been edited.
- Obi Wan's awkward line about Anakin killing younglings is gone. I think it played better knowing that he didn't have the heart to tell her exactly what he saw because it was too horrible.
- Padme's embarrassing line about liberty dying to thunderous applause is out.
- Several cheesy lines during Obi Wan and Anakin's fight are gone.
- Anakin's Darth Maul eyes are unnecessary and deleted.
- Padme dying because she lost the will to live is dumb and gone. She just dies because Anakin kills her, OK!?!
- Vader screaming "NOOOOOOOOOO!"
- Jar Jar is removed from Padme's funeral just because.

Whew! OK, I'm done. And for the love of sweet baby Jesus, I hope I don't have to do an Anti-Cheese edit of The Force Awakens.




Not sure how long they will last (have been up for about a month) or if Disney even cares but if you want to download them and watch later here is a link to an incredibly easy to use YouTube downloader called VideoGrabby LINK

I don't think this should have been removed. That scene is pretty important to Anakin's character development.

Thanks for this, Dr. - I may have to check these out.

I saw a few minutes of Ep. 1 and it already "felt" a little bit better to watch. The alien dialect really helps....

Don't know if this is the same guy as the one I'm thinking of, but there was a guy a few years ago that was supposedly making the definite Ep3 version. I remember specifically that he said he was painstakingly rotoscoping the extra useless Jedi out of the Mace vs. Palpatine scene. Not sure whatever happened with that edit.

i just watched all the star wars for the first time the past 2 weeks so i never cared about all the hate for the prequels but is it at least accepted that Jedi Yoda is the best part of the new 3?

Topher Grace apparently edited all three prequels into one very watchable film. I'd love to see it.

I can see how you can salvage the Phantom Menace, and I see that save for the "Nooo!!!" his edits with Revenge of the Sith are minimal at best, but I don't see how you can possibly salvage Attack of the Clones. There isn't anything to salvage in it. Every little concept in it is entirely flawed, all the dialog is awful, and features the worst romance in cinematic history as its core. Seriously, name me a single scene that can be entirely saved with some good editing? Not one is popping into my head, while a few are coming to mind in Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith.

I think it's widely accepted now that he is one of the worst parts of the prequel trilogy. Yoda with a lightsaber jumping around like a chimpanzee on a crack binge is just ridiculous. Yoda should be well beyond the power of a lightsaber. He should have been able to make Dooku's heart explode instantly just by looking at him. The only person that should be a challenge for Yoda is the Emperor himself, but yet again they give him a lightsaber as well, despite having a very low opinion of them in the original trilogy. Make Yoda powerful, certainly, but have him simply be powerful through the will of the Force.

I don't either. The subtle imperial march during it gave it a good feel. I think that is a needed scene.


Did people really have that big of an issue with Anakin being a child of the force? I can understand the midichlorian issues, but the immaculate conception is a problem?
