I really like this but I have some issues:
*The crawl is somewhat busy and asks the audience to remember a lot of concepts.
*There is a fast switch from “rescue the princess” to “retrieve the control code” that I’m not sure can be justified.
*Obi Wan never really “meets” Anakin before training him. I’m not sure how to remedy this but I think it’s a necessary emotional beat for the story.
*The three Padmes will have to be really distinct to avoid confusion (especially with the body double on top of it) and it might be better to consolidate them to two instead of three.
*The Anakin/Padme romance is difficult to fix/portray. Personally I really dislike the Jedi “repressing” Anakin/forbidden love angle of the prequels, but that’s just me.
*The distinction between Duku as a rogue Jedi and Maul as a Sith might be lost on the audience.
*Abaddon and Naboo, and Tatooine and Geonosis, will be hard to distinguish for the audience as well.
