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!!!

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

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

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. 👍❤️

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

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 😀 👍 😊?

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 😊

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.

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.

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😮😊

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.

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

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

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. ❤❤❤

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

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

An absolute masterpiece of video editing 👌

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

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 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

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

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

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

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. 😎

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

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

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

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 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!

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.

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!!!!😀😀

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

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

I enjoyed this edit and don't see why there are negative comments to something that you can choose to stop watching at anytime. Thank you for taking the time to make this and hats off to you mate

this actually pretty brilliant

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.

I think I remember Topher Grace best as Eric Forman on "That 70's Show".

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!!!!!

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.

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.

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!

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

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

This is a fantastic edit. Well done.

Thanks Chris for these memories.

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

The best movies , Star war❤

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.

The prequels were supposed to be this monumental achievement in cinema. Me and my friends would make up our own stories with the bits of info we knew about the past. I'm older now and don't feel so bad about being let down, but every time I watch these I feel the laziness of it and it pisses me off all over again.

Amazingingly edited, I've all films ,watched like most many times ,this was very enjoyable ...many thanks 🙏👍 So when Obi Wan (at 1:21:39) jumps down to face General Grievous and says :- "HELLO THERE" This two word welcome came about from a teacher of ours. . He's from Liverpool and good mate of mine, before he was Adidas VP Europe, he was our lecturer in Business Studies ('88-90) working for a college we attended. . He (T) had nicknames for all us 16yr olds on course , I was 'Nick the Man' and he was a comedic talented educated fella, whom welcomed late comers to class with... "HELLO THERE" , it was remembered by other class mates, one whom went on to write ✍️ and wrote parts of the script for LUCAS in USA. He remembered our lecturer T and his "Hello There " and so used it for Ewans portrayal of Obi Wan... "Hello There ...."

very fast paced and much more enjoyable, well done

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.

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

These are cool af. Please keep them coming

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.

[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?

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

Even truncated to 2 hours or so, the dialogue between Anakin and Padme cringes to the depths of my soul. Now that it appears they won't take it down, I might make my own version with just action and literally no dialogue except Yoda and C-3PO.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

dam good job,,thanks Chris/Paul really impresive work

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

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 ❤

The movie started out great no stopping and a few seconds restarting but in the middle it started stopping and a few seconds restarting. And kept on the rest of the movie.

2:16:01何度観ても号泣します。涙が溢れてくる。人間は絶対に希望を失ってはいけません。

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.

Cutting out the fluffy stuff out makes a good movie

I would’ve kept more of the Tatooine (pod racing), but axed that Geonosis Anakin/Padme video game conveyor belt scene.

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

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!!!!!!!!

This deserves an Oscar.

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

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

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!

I think you should have left the part in Obi-Wan's duel with Darth Maul where he leaps from the low ground over Darth Maul to stab him. That scene is important because it's exactly what Anakin does at the end of Episode 3 when Obi-Wan "has the high ground."

I really like this. But Im missing ani's mom in ep.1. She is really important to this story and cutting ani's goodbye to his mom makes anakin's turn to the darkside more rushed

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

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.

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

The first film needed to be included more, especially to focus less around Anakin. As much as I dislike a lot of the stuff in the first film, it is important to consider how it served to draw attention away from his significance for the later plot development surrounding him.

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

This is an excellent fan edit, it looks something as good as Dune but somehow i still like the whole trilogy with its flaws.

I think the failure of the prequels was that they *told* us things rather than *showing* us things. I think if we had less exposition and more things in the background, they would have been much better. What if the Republic just kind of built a Clone army because the Separatists had, instead, already built up a droid army and declared war by Episode 2? We wouldn't need to see the Kamino plot. We would just see things work well if we, perhaps, heard Clones talking about training or battles. They're Clones, but they're still people. They talk. They have relationships. A movie *following* a squad of Clones through the war would be pretty nice, or at least, a portion of a movie following certain Clones through the war would be pretty nice. The Clone Wars animated series itself was pretty nice because it added a lot more humanity to the characters we'd seen before, and that was one of the major reasons why it was so well-received, at least from what I can tell. This is an excellent fan edit, and remains loyal to things that matter. We don't see Jar Jar as a comical idiot, but we do see him take on a serious role. Jar Jar doing serious things is kind of nice. We see Anakin's emotions get the better of him, while still seeing him a bit troubled by questioning his morals and his beliefs. We sort of really do see him seduced by the Dark Side, but not in such a horrible, painstakingly long manner.

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

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

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

Best Fan edit on youtube.

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.

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

Very decent & intelligent Anakin Skywalker, my father Luke Skywalker and keep up with the work - Star Wars trilogy and sooth Sayers is watching you.

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.

No pod race. No intro to Darthmal. The movie intro itself was good

This is perfect!!! Well done!!

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