Wow so, this was kicked off UKposts for a few years and then magically reappeared a few weeks ago. Thank you Disney? I'm so happy to see so many people enjoying it. When me and my good friend Paul Odgren made this together back in 2015, we thought it'd get like 514 views. It's been amazing to see the response over the years. Thank you all for watching. ❤

This is the best Unofficial Star Wars Release in the world. The truth is I saw this years ago and was finally able to like the prequels, so much so that here I am Jan 2024, and loving it!!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful edition!!! Much appreciated.

Thank you, so glad all the bloat was removed but the edit is still smooth and cohesive. Excellent Job!

Really smooth and well done. I'd say this is the best fanedit I've seen. Really captures the Anakin story as needed and keeps the whole thing streamline. I appreciate the care you took in making the transitions seamless. Especially the audio. Thank you. I consider this a suitable replacement for the original prequel trilogy.

Hats of to who ever reedited this. It’s hands down the best. I likely will never watch the prequels again after this. Great, great, great job. ❤❤❤

This reminds me of some writing advice I read years ago: Don’t write the boring parts.

Excellent fanfilm ! Never lets up for a minute ! This is how a StarWars film can be made ! And hopefully, you're got more forthcoming soon 😀 👍 😊?

Without the dialogue between Padme and Anakin in the "romantic" scenes.......how is the audience supposed to know that Anakin hates sand??? And the reasons why he hates it.

I love all the Star Wars trilogies. This one makes Anakin’s story closer to his feelings for Padme, and shows it a bit more time emotionally. Thank you for sharing this. I Enjoyed it. 👍❤️

Wow my friend, great work and thank you for taking the time to do this.

Star wars fan my whole life. This was most excellent! Thank you for sharing.

This was quite good.. it breezed along, too. The quick cut ending to the Kenobi/Darth Maul fight in Episode I got a quick chuckle out of me 😊

Cutting out the Yoda fight cut out the heart and soul of the movie. Peace out.

Best on YT, just got done watching this. It really showcases all the good points, omits the fluff, gets rid of all the bad stuff, bye bye Jar Jar, this just makes this so kuch better. The Trilogy works as a single film here. The prequels are saved. This is what I would show others that never seen the movies.

I always thought the slanting opening summary that goes into space is unique and a noveity but it was done in Sapphire and Steel , a British tv series of the 70s . Enjoyed this.

Never thought the prequels could become watchable. This edit changed that.

An absolute masterpiece of video editing 👌

Star Wars Legacy will Never Die our children children and then next 1000 year's will be amazed and intrigued for centuries to come

Decent edit. It made Anakin and Palpatine's relationship make a little more sense, and emphasized Anakin's concern for Padme. A bit action-heavy for me. I would have omitted the ending where we see Padme giving birth and naming the twins. It would have been more surprising in the original trilogy to find out that not only is Anakin alive, but his children also survived. We also could have assumed Leia grew up with Padma for a time, which would have made her line about remembering her mother in Return of the Jedi make sense. That said...when all you've got is lemons, it's hard to make anything more than lemonade. Anakin and Obi-wan's dialogue in Revenge of the Sith is still painful. Anakin's inane reason for turning to the Dark Side and his apparent stupidity are still there. Still would love to see the Topher Grace edit. 😎

You did an amazing job with this! Thank you for sharing your work. You know, if hard core StarWars fans would help make the StarWars films or had some say in the productions, the movies would be so much the better I think. Great job Sir!!!!😀😀

This was GREAT!!! It took Eoisodes 1,2,&3 and consolidated them into one fantastic movie!! Any Star Wars fan should watch this and ENJOY!!!!!

Oh thank you for sharing this with us. Very nice of you!

This is great for those who have seen the movies. It cuts the crap and goes straight to the good stuff

very serious edit- makes this movie a cult classic~! congrats~!

Enjoyed your Readers Digest condensed edit version very much! Hope you continue with updated versions! Thanks!

Very good job - I thank you for showing us all " A galaxy far far away "

This is a fantastic edit. Well done.

this actually pretty brilliant

I think that the tatooine info is important and necessary so cutting it out isn't the best way to go about it but this is a phenomenal edit. Great video and as someone who knows what happens, I am actually really thankful that I found this!

Star Wars , no one knew how far this would go. Most of us live on Terra , but to get away from this crazy planet for a short time watching is relaxing. Scottish guys in dresses are hilarious !. Many thanks guys. Dave😮😊

Excellent movie. Very engaging. The best of the re-edits in my opinion.

The Millennium Falcon can be seen landing at the bottom landing ramp as the shuttle carrying Anakin, Obi-Wan & Palpatine lands on the top ramp at 1:09:34! It's small so pause it at 1:09:34 & look where I said & you'll see it!

i never watched a movie on youtube i was so ecxited thank you for making this movie you are the best

15:15 At first, I didn’t like the change to Maul’s ”death” but the lethal efficiency of it and how we would have reacted to seeing Mail in two pieces as he fell changed my mind. It was a more vicious death in this version. One slip in a lightsaber duel and you’re done. It showed the lethality of a lightsaber.

I particularly like the transition into Episode III, it's a really good match shot that conveys that time has passed (I also noticed the bit of the Clone Wars rendition of the main theme to make the musical transition- good use of resources, I bet that took ages to find and make work). I was disappointed with the time skip to Episode II when I saw it, but honestly there's just no good material to show the passage of time there. Excellent cutting my dude

WOW. This edit should be the standard way to view the prequels. THANK YOU for this fan edit. Much appreciated! It really highlights the core of what makes the prequels great!

Well done on the edits and you made this into an acceptable movie to watch and I know that must have been difficult to accomplish!

This is Amazing. Thank You...and May the force be with you.....Always

Thank you SOOOOOO much for editing out Jar Jar Binks & the Gungins!!! That alone was worth watching it!!!

My edit is now complete and will be finished uploading momentarily! Come check it out and let me know what you think : ) A huge amount of credit goes to Editor Binks. The quality of his edit is one of the main things that inspired me to take on the challenge of making my own.

This is good, no great, no fkn phenomenal! Thank you I am enjoying this immensely.

The edit simplifying the dual of the fates sabre fight made it much better.

A Very Well Done Fan Edit, Thank You Editor Binks.

I would have kept the line "Obiwan is going to kill me" in the droid factory scene

So this is how a new era of Star Wars began, with the birth of the twins. Thank you so much for posting. 🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍

Best film of its time i believe this production is concidered a great meaningful idea dreams came true.

18 minutes and that sums up episode 1. Fantastic

very fast paced and much more enjoyable, well done

that darth maul fight was dope.. can't wait for this to be redone in deep dream for that anime feel, gonna be sick

Thank you so much for putting this thing right.

I must say that this was nicely done....Once thought one of the parts that I missed was when Darth was told that his woman was dead. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Many times I thought about doing a prequel fan edit, but now I don't have to because you got everything perfectly right. This is excellent! This segues perfectly into Rogue One. The original spirit of the story is finally found from your tighter and more focused storyline. If Disney and George Lucas knew what a gift you gave, Disney would release your edit with Lucas' blessing as 3-D in the theaters.

This was genuinely brilliant. During the Mustafar scenes where you've edited out certain lines of dialogue the lack of music is very apparent and slightly jarring. It also sounds like there's some distortion in the last bit where Anakin is lying burning, and Obi-Wan is shouting at him; as though the volume is cutting out a little. Ultimately just technical stuff... Frankly this is FAR better than the prequels as a whole. The editing of Episode 2 that made Anakin's and Padme's relationship look more like he was being persistent to the point of gas-lighting, that was great. Makes sense that Vader would have a warped idea of love based on what his own desires rather than a mutual attraction and affection. The beginning was very quick cut, perhaps it was a little over-cut; but it ended up being an ultimately far better film as a whole than any of the prequel films alone. Well done.

Imagine being 16 years old when the first Star Wars movie came out. Imagine seeing it with a bunch of friends and expecting a great movie, but having no idea it would be the biggest thing ever. That was me.

Yeah thats about right. It flows well. Great job!

this is really good, id give it an 8/10 , some of the pacing seems rushed at times and a bit of extra time in space would have been good, perhaps adding an extra 15 minutes in total to smooth transitions and allowing the audio to flow a little better. however it is pretty awesome to see it all recut to a single movie

LOL at Phantom Menace only lasting seventeen minutes ideally. That's so hilarious and so accurate...

the video editing force is strong with this one! good video

I like your edit a good refresher,great quality 🎞

I didn't think it possible but you managed to edit the first movie where it is actually good. I like the edits made. I love the fact you edited the final battle to the essential elements. I'm intriqued on the rest. I will have to favorite this and check the rest later. So far... nice work.

I love the edit, but I would’ve kept in the scene where Palpatine manipulates Padme into holding a vote of confidence it’s by far the most important scene in that entire movie and I’d say of the best parts of it. not to mention is a natural Segway to them leaving for Naboo. As it happens in the edit, they just kind of leave after arriving.

The Disney Original Trilogy with more details on how Anakin met Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon was interesting and other cut-out scenes from the Trilogy as well, however, seeing a shortened version of all 3 episodes into one was impressive.

Flows well, this edit does

I sort of wish a full length movie or 2 could be made where The First Jedi came about, how the lightsaber was adapted (almost exclusively), & how the Jedi Order was established!

Mi-a plăcut enorm acest film am vizionato prima dată în 1982 prima serie războiul stelelor la acea vreme era o revelație ❤😂🎉 păcat că nu funcționează subtitrarea în limba română 😢 mulțumesc pentru postare ❤

MUCHAS GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRNOS ESTA GRAN PELICULA, SIN DUDA LA MEJOR DE LAS 6 PRIMERAS 😀

I've got all of them made and still watch them in order, even the off shoots. Got hooked in 76 and still hooked.

Awesome job on this! Thank you so much. You’ve done something I could never do. Definitely your calling. Keep it up. The force is with you.

Really good job, great edit mate. I was planning to do a marathon with my mates this weekend and i couldn't have found this at a better time. You save us all from looking at 6 hours of those god awful prequels.

I watched the whole thing. I just realize this is an edit YUB NUB LOL. Nice job you did. Good they put it back haha

Absolutely fantastic.👍

I'll try re-editing, that's a good trick

One change suggestion: The Viceroy and the others of his race (can't remember name) benefit GREATLY from the Anti-Cheese Edit's technique of replacing their speech with garbled alien voices and subtitles. Seriously, it makes them WAY better.

Wow that OPEN! BRAVO! Jesus not even 30 minutes and this has to be the greatest thing I have ever seen!

Great job on the edit! . . . wached it all again . . . for the 100th time (not sure how many times I've watched, but it has to be close to that . . . lol)

Perfect edit of Obi Wans deadly lightsaber strike to Maul. Much better without the "cliffhanger".

YAASSSSS! Awesome work editorbinks. I can finally watch this without getting a stomach ache.

Very good work, well done! I made a dutch subtitle for myself and so I noticed what work was done, took me two days to complete. Thanks for the HiRes download option as well. (I will try to upload the NL subtitle and encourage other(s) to do this in English)

Thanks Chris for these memories.

[Excuse my english. Not a native speaker.] God, this is good. One can tell you were really concerned with storytelling while making this. Unlike other recuts I've seen, this actually sounds like an actual movie. And it's a good one. You've operated a miracle. Cutting off the whole Kamino plot? That was genious. Works damn well, seriously. Not to mention your choices about episode 1 and all the other details. The only problem was in me as an audience. Since I find episode 3 in specific a reasonable movie and I'm used to it, it was hard for me to swallow the cuts made into it. Yet it's clear that these cuts make complete sense to the objective and I'm not blind to the fact that half of the screentime is from that movie. I think I'm gonna adopt this as the definitive version from now on. I plan on making subtitles to it in my language (brazilian portuguese) so I can share it with my friends. Thank you for this excellent job. Congratulations. It gets me thinking if it wouldn't be a good idea to keep episode 3 untouched and only merge episodes 1 and 2. What are your thoughts on that?

One thing is evident through all the ages, never trust a politician ‼️

Ive not seen this till now. It was ok. No commercials.

I subscribed- years late, but the least I can do for all this work! Thank you ❤

This deserves an Oscar.

Cutting out the fluffy stuff out makes a good movie

Positioning the Battle for Naboo as the inciting incident was a brilliant move; that's effectively what it is anyway, and it makes for a cool action setpiece to kickstart the story!

I’ve heard about this edit a few weeks ago on a documentary now I’m seeing it so cool

This is amazing. I'm going to take my 83 year old mother, who took me to see the original at the drive-in in 1978, to see the new film. I don't want to explain everything. That way she can figure out what's going on. This very much helps by removing totally irrelevant content.

The best movies , Star war❤

I love this edit! Saw it years ago and then couldn't find it.

Bravo, Thank You Chris Wronka

I remember when I was 15, in 1976 the first star war, Me and my friends talked about the movie for months , It was amazing , What a great movie for that year. And still like after 47 years ,, I have a book written in 1890 with very amazing information, teach that the chosen of God will travel far beyond into the Universe of God , Good book, I believe the future will bring a special day, We will see God.

anyone that has never seen the movies would have no idea what size going on

Unbeatable good film. This quality, we do not have anymore today

congratulations and thank you for wonderful work ..

This is legit a good movie with this edit. Now, I'm one of those people who grew up with the prequels as a kid, so I'll always view them through nostalgic rose goggles (kinda like the older people do now with Episode 6), so I've always enjoyed Episodes 2 and 3 and I always will. I think Episode 3 is a good film, nostalgia or not. It's certainly the one that tugs on my heartstrings the most, out of both trilogies. The Phantom Menace is such a mess, however. I loved it when I went to see it with my family as a 9 year old kid, but I just can't stomach it now that I'm an adult. What you see from Episode 1 in this edit are (with one or two exceptions) the things that can be salvaged from that movie. Now it's 2018, and Disney has made the terrible and uninspiring Episodes 7 and 8, not including Rogue One (which I enjoyed - it gets a 7/10 from me). I'm catching Ep 8 on bluray, but I don't personally know many people who left the theatre even remotely satisfied. From the internet's reaction, I think something a friend said to me: "If you don't like 7, you won't like 8" is pretty much true, and Episode 7 is not good. The effects are neat, but it is so bloody uninspiring and the main character so uninteresting, it just sucks across the board. Just the way they wasted the old cast... Now that we've seen what Disney, Brutus-Kathleen Kennedy and Jar-Jar Abrams have done to the new trilogy (lore-wise, if nothing else), I think I'm not alone in thinking "Gee, I wish it was Lucas making the new trilogy instead". Gee, I wish it was Lucas making the new trilogy instead.

After watching a few of these fan edits, one thing has become abundantly clear. Lucas knew what he was doing.

Excellent editing

This is perfect!!! Well done!!
