Star Wars FANEDITS. A ver qué os parecen los cambios.

Os pongo el listado de cambios de uno de los fanedits que pululan por ahí, a ver si os parece que mejora la cosa. Yo creo que sí y bastante.

EPISODE I

* New episode name "A Vergence in the Force"

* New crawl

* References to Amidala being an elected Queen of Naboo have been removed. Amidala is simply a young queen of a democratic constitutional monarchy, much like Great Britain's government.

* Jar-Jar's slapstick has been largely removed throughout the movie

* Anakin's childishness has largely been removed throughout the movie

* Boss Nass' strange tics have been removed

* There are no fart jokes or poop jokes

* No friggin' midichlorians.

* Deleted scenes restored or partially restored include:
* Waterfall sequence
* Dawn before the race
* Extended Lap 2
* Anakin fighting Greedo
* Probe Droid following Qui-Gon and Anakin out of town - Earlier
probe sequence was shifted here as well

* Some extraneous bits of the Podrace sequence were removed

* Music added behind the podrace to heighten the tension.

* Ask Aak's line is now in Malastarian and subtitled to match his role
in Episode II

* Jar Jar is not made a General. He simply fights alongside his fellow
Gungans.

* A significant piece of the Gungan battle is removed due to Jar Jar's
antics. It is edited seamlessly without detriment to the story.

* Anakin's ship is not on autopilot as he goes of to destroy the
control ship. All all of his actions are deliberate.


EPISODE II

Here is what sets the ADigitalMan edition apart from the official DVD.

* New episode name "Path to the Dark Side"

* New crawl

* Deleted scenes restored or partially restored include:
* Padme Addresses the Senate
* Jedi Analysis Droids
* Padme's parents house. It is important to note that this is not incongruous with Padme ascending to the throne at such an early age. Even in the unedited scene, nowhere does Padme introduce the man as her father. It is assumed that the Queen Mum is now remarried.
* Padme's Bedroom is partially restored
* Obi-Wan and Mace in the Jedi Hangar (The similar scene with Yoda has been removed).
* Count Dooku trying to persuade Amidala to join the Separatists
* Trial and Sentencing of Padme and Anakin (with new subtitles)

* References to Amidala as a senator have been removed. Amidala is still Queen of Naboo, and she has focused on leading the opposition to the Galactic Senate's Military Creation Act. It is intimated that Jar Jar is actually the Senator from Naboo. All references to Queen Jamilla have been removed.

* Zam's subplot of being a changeling is removed because it went nowhere. The Kamino Saber Dart thus becomes that much more lethal a weapon, based on the instant mummification effect it has on Zam.

* Lots of bad dialogue has been cut or trimmed. Especially:
* The "Elevator" scene introducing Obi-Wan and Anakin
* Jar Jar greeting Obi-Wan and Anakin
* Some of Anakin's dialogue during the speeder chase. His actions are deliberate now.
* Padme handing over the reins to Jar Jar
* "At least we have Artoo with us ... (laughter)"
* "I hate sand ..."
* Boba Fett's snicker
* "I'm a Jedi ... I know I'm better than this."
* Anakin pouring his heart out to Padme in front of the fire. This has been trimmed down to a more effective speech, helping to show the tension they both feel. It's clear that there is romantic tension between the two of them without this dreadfully awful soliloquy.

* Much of Anakin's whineyness and awkwardness has also been removed throughout the movie.

Some Specifics:
* Beautiful, especially for a Senator, etc etc.
* "It's not fair ..."
* "He's jealous ..."
* Riding around on that big tick thing in the field and rolling around in the heather with Padme.
* Shots of his dream about his mother are inserted into his nightmare sequence to break up the awkwardness of this shot without losing its purpose. Doesn't quite look like he's jerking off in bed to thoughts of his mother anymore.

* The Geonosian Archdukes's subtitles have been rewritten for effectiveness and faster reading.

* Dooku's alliance with Sidious is not revealed until their scene together at the end. Little bits of dialogue before this about "my master" have been removed. For that matter, his being a Sith is not revealed until his saber is fired up. This all leaves for some element of surprise without changing the basic nature of the characters.


EPISODE III

Things added:

* New crawl, once again thanks to the programming genius of Darth Editous. This takes care of important expository elements that were missing (Tyrannus/Dooku and Greivous as a cyborg especially)

* Battle droids & Nemoidian captain voices modulated to sound deeper and less silly.

* Death of Shaak-Ti (trimmed to remove redundancy) / Escape through the fuel cells (trimmed considerably)

* Palpatine refers to Dooku as Lord Tyrannus when he enters the room (as his mouth movements originally suggest)

* Plot to destroy the Jedi deleted scene (trimmed considerably to remove redundancy)

* The three Birth of the Rebellion scenes with Padme, Bail Organa and Mon Mothma (among others)

* The Emperor tells Mas Amedda to "Leave us" explaining why he just walked out of the room after Yoda gets zapped.

* Three voiceovers with Qui-Gon Jinn speaking to / with Yoda taken from Liam Neeson's body of work.

* Yoda's exile to Dagobah scene (incorporating the final Qui Gon moment)


Things removed:

* The lines about "Vulture Droids" and "Buzz Droids" during the Battle of Coruscant (it was bad exposition). (Obi-Wan's Buzz droid reference after the safe return of Palpatine remains as it isn't offensive exposition here).

* Artoo slamming into a wall.

* Palpatine's cheesy "yeah!" removed from the fight with Darth Tyrannus.

* Jar Jar's one "Excuse me" line, which was a cheesy out-of-place lift from Ep I.

* Anakin & Padme's balcony scene

* References to Amidala as a Senator.

* NO FRIGGIN' MIDICHLORIANS (TM)

* Palpatine kvetching about being too weak to fight.

* Anakin second guessing himself about which side to choose and again after Mace's fate; especially removed the "what have I done?" line that weakens his fall to the dark side.

* Padme dying from losing the will to live. Vader really did kill her and she hung on just long enough to deliver the twins.

* Vader's "Noooooo" shortened and breathing effect added.
