...you should use more "starwarsy" font for the time stamp text during the fadeouts.
Yes, Commander Courage raised the same concern, and I have since changed the graphics to match both the font and color used in the title card. So we now have something like this:

Another inconsistency from the Prequels that makes me dislike them so... in the Ep. IV Ben says to Luke that he has not gone by the name of Obiwan since "Oh, before you were born".
I am aware of this, but it never really bothered me storywise because Ben is much older and so it is easy (at least for me) to forgive his lack of precision when he recalls the past. Nonetheless, I think it would make more sense to edit the one line in EP4, so that Ben says, "I have not gone by the name of Obi-wan for a long time," or "I have not gone by the name of Obi-wan since you were born" (simply removing the word, "before"). Perhaps an opportunity was missed in Adywan's Revisited edit.

There were scenes during the Jedi purge where more Jedi are being killed (like the Twi'lek Jedi Aayla Secura) I think you should include them. It makes the purge seem bigger, more widespread.

You are correct. There are three more sequences. They were originally included in my first story board, but they interrupted the pace and I do not want to generate too much sadness and dispair early in the movie. I need to save some of this depressing footage, because we will be returning to the first time arc later in the movie.

I hate that close-up on OB1's face during the Grevious duel, you know, right when Grevious says "..you're doomed!" and then OB1 replies with the brilliant ingenious retort "Oh, I don't think so!"

It seems many people have issues with Grievous and his dialogue; but I am not bothered by his character. He is who he is.
I like the sequence because of the intense eye exchange before battle. But what if the two characters simply said nothing at that moment? It just so happens that we do not see Obi-wan's mouth, so it would be easy to either alter or remove speech.

Again, I am not bothered by the original exchange, but I will listen to ideas about improving the moment.
