the amount of yellow removed is criminal, taking on count we talk about tatoine... They moved it too close to mustafar, there was no need, is almost like everybody that came later did decide to change the sand location from one place to another, Im oppinion the "Egyptian" vives and golden tones are the proper ofr tatoine

Oh no that little blue raptor got a Family? :(

1:30 I don't know whether to call out this BS scene for reversing the footage two or three times, or applaud it for paying homage to the reversed footage moments in Star Wars and Empire.

It’s me, I’m the big Camie and Wormy fan!

aw man that deleted scene where the geneticaly engineered big blacjhh eyed clarinete playing aliens stand up is hilarious man wtf whyd they cut all these racers

so they added liek 4 races that werent in the theatres, to sell toys and video games for the n64 pod racer game right? hah

now thats pod racing

Where did you get the theatrical cut? I sooo wanna see that one again.

Original film color looks best. Disney has that fancy HDR crap, but it feels too Earth-like. The original film almost looked like it had a desert haze over it. The remaster looks so... normal and bland. Edit: FFS, the remasters make it look like they're in a GD oasis! What a joke!

So when do we get the full release? LotR is a prime example of dedicated fans sitting down for literal hours to enjoy an extended cut. Would love to see these movies fully unadulterated. (If such films do exist, please tell me.)

They should have left Sebulba flashing his vents! Anakin even mentions it in the movie!

I would love to see every FULL Star Wars film like this so that not a SINGLE scene is missing. IDC if it would make it an hour or two longer, I would love it.

ummmm at 1:23 it literally sounds like they're announcing "ELON MUSK"

The deleted scenes are wyld

I should be surprised that the color grading of the theatrical version is better than the others, but I'm not

This just made me realize I’ve only ever seen the theatrical version of the phantom menace. I’m sure I’ve seen later versions of the other prequels, but so much of this was totally new to me. We had all of the Star Wars movies on VHS tapes that I watched over and over again growing up, so I’m assuming those versions were all theatrical (besides the changes George Lucas made to the original trilogy)

i had this DVD as a child and some of the deleted scenes weren't in the 2001 DVD

Somewhere I have a special release box of Episode 1 that has a piece of film from the "cutting room floor" in it that my Dad got me for Christmas. It was of the two headed announcer I think...I always wondered if they just said that's what it was but now I'm curious, haha. I should go find it!

You are a godsend sir, this is amazing to see in quadview!

Oh how I yearn for the theatrical release

Wait, we're missing the exchange after Sebulba broke a piece of Anakin's pod and then called him bantha fodder

Star Wars should get directors cuts with all the little details put back into the movies

Vader was referred to as "Lord of the Sith" upon Star Wars’ release, including (iirc) the paper program that i got in the theater the first time i saw it. It might not have made it into the films, but absolutely the Sith were known of, though not in any specific way. If you look back at old scifi magazines like Starlog from the late 70s and early 80s you’ll probably find mentions. In fact scifi fans liked to debate on what the Sith were.

For me DVD version is the best, blu-ray is to long.

I never understood how obi wan becomes more powerful if he is struck down. Well he got strucked down and he dont seem poweful how is being a ghost powerful hes dead? All he does is he talks Luke at the end tells him to trust the force and the next film starts telling luke to go find yoda and then later reasons with yoda to train luke later on in the last movie tells him about yoda will be with him always and about his twin sister. How the F*ck is that powerful?

Omg what did they do to the colors??? Why does the theatrical version look like a modern-day Marvel movie and the rest look like Nokia camera?

No wonder the re-release felt different

in the 4:00 the start engine sound like the soulshots of lineage 2

I'm 37 now. Still get the goosebumps when the pods start powering up.

Yeah, someone definitely played wipEout when making that part of the movie

Long live the king Earl Jones

This is cool! Thanks for this 💯

Star Wars Unrated

I didnt realize that the theatrical version was that watered down.

how can we watch the full version in a movie ?

Now THAT’S what I call podracing!

The theatrical/VHS version is the best.

The luck of the actress in the deleted scene at Tashi Station didn't improve. A couple of years later she dated Prince Andrew.

Fuck this disney!

George, you don't need all that fluff lol.

I believe a DVD cut (probably circa 2011 or) is what aired when they re-showed this film in theaters for the 25 year anniversary this year (2024) as all of the DVD-cut's content was present, and the later version of CG yoda that replaced the 1999 puppet was also in said print. I say it wasn't the 2019 version because it was not a very clean print. Perhaps the projectionist did this or perhaps it's just that way, but the version I saw again this year had very flat contrast to 'hide' the dated CG throughout the film. The podrace scene holds-up extraordinarily well on the big screen 25 years later.

Wow the whole detachment/ reattach was completely left out of the theatrical. Always thought that was a pretty big part

7:11 is that like a clean up crew?

I'm surprised so many scenes didn't make it into theaters. And the colors are so different

My favourite sequence in the whole prequel trilogy.

Feels so amazing you can tell who the racers are if you played Ep 1 racers before the announcers introduce them, i just can't hear Gasgano's name but the lad is there

Театральная версия 1999 года самая естественная.

Theatrical looks too good both in colors and sharpness ❤.

9:10 RAWWRRRRR (angry)

Now I understand why no one in the first version liked the race... they cut the best parts
