Star Wars prequels: Topher Grace edited all them into a single movie

[Darren Dirt]

...and apparently it's pretty good (or so AVclub says)

Star Wars III.5: The Editor Strikes Back

Grace reportedly gave himself a crash course in editing by compiling his very own cut of the Star Wars prequels, combining footage from all three movies, a few scenes from the original trilogy, and even some dialogue and music from a Star Wars audiobook and episodes of The Clone Wars, then stringing them all together into one streamlined movie. Final run time: Around 85 minutes, or the approximate length of a single conversation about the Trade Federation.

...some severe cuts?namely, everything about blockades or taxes or whatever, that whole cloning subplot, the myriad debate scenes in the Galactic Senate, midichlorians, ?Noooooo!? and pretty much the entirety of The Phantom Menace, including all of Jake Lloyd?s scenes and most of Jar-Jar

As it turns out, many of these things were not entirely necessary.

of course, you?ll probably never actually get to see, unless George Lucas goes on some sort of nitrous bender or something

lol! and :sigh:

with only 85 minutes of footage, Topher was able to completely tell the main narrative of Anakin Skywalker?s road from Jedi to the Sith. While I know the missing pieces and could even fill in the blanks in my head as the film raced past, none of those points were really needed. Whats better is that the character motivations are even more clear and identifiable, a real character arc not bogged down ... not only clarifies the story, but makes the film a lot more action-packed.

we were told that this would be the one and only time he would screen his cut. Of course, there are tremendous legal issues which would prevent him from screening the edit in public. He has no intention of uploading the footage online, and doing a screening at, say, Comic-Con, would require uncle George?s permission ? which probably would never happen.

I wonder if the kids in this high school are more angry than those in other, less millennium-falcon-shaped schools? (Which would of course lead to hate, suffering ... oh wait Lucas already dished out plenty of that!)

Can you link to an actual picture of the school showing it's MillFalc shape, instead of just a google search?  I clicked _three times_ and couldn't get a view of the school!  Oh, the horror!
