I can wouch for this one. Very well done. I wish they cut out more Alfrid time though.

Alfrid makes me understand why people hate Jar Jar so much.

I like Darth Jar Jar. I want video genAI to execute what it was really built for and replace Dooku with DarthJar.

Like is a strong word I think. I don't mind him. But I was a kid when Phantom Menace came out, I didn't really fully experience the original trilogy before I saw it. So that's why - for a kid it's a fun goofy comic relief. So might have liked him back then, which moved my tolerance for him in adulthood. Didn't see the movie in years though.

LotR is sacred to me on a similar level like the SW original trilogy was sacred to the die hard SW fans back then, probably. I can't say I hated the Hobbit movies (though they are clearly inferior - the edit really saved them), but I hate Alfrid with everlasting passion.

Is this the same edit made by Tolkien Editor or is it another cut?

It's a different cut. Tolkien Editor wrote he edited over a weekend, the maple edit took 2 years.

Another edit is https://m4-studios.github.io/hobbitbookedit

Which is closer to the book, whereas maple is a bit more action/cinematic and hints at LOTR plot.
