A Little Something Awesome - Star Wars Episode I - III: The Phantom Edit

Love them or hate them, the three Star Wars prequel movies are widely considered not to hold a candle to the original three movies. They are filled with superfluous scenes and extraneous dialogue that adds little to the overall plot, and the first of the three, Episode I: The Phantom Menace can be summed up with "Young boy found on desert planet. He might be the chosen one. Baddies want to kill him probably". Seeing this, Andrew Kwan decided to use his editing talents to condense the movies down into one two-hour film that flows a lot better than the originals did. It is more focused, drawing attention to the plot points that really matter, and while the George Lucas' dialogue and direction is still clunky, the improvement is obvious, at least to me. Either way, this little non-profit fan film is a noteworthy achievement. Check it out below, maybe shoot a like or sub in Mr. Kwan's direction, and come back later for another Something Awesome.
