As far as continuity goes, I’ll take Padme living over C3PO keeping his memories forgetting to mention that he’s back on his home planet where everyone is probably named Skywalker so don’t worry about it. 😃 (I think the actual reason was to remove the Tantive. But that’s a bit of fan service I don’t really mind).

Haha! I agree with all both of you said. Either way I’m fine with your choice and I can’t really go down this rabbit hole discussion without having seen it.

I actually agree with this. Keep in mind I haven’t watch your RotS just yet however what I love about your edits is that aside from being very well done all your changes have been thoughtful and you keep the original movies as unchanged (in plot) as possible which makes it an easy replacement for the actual movies and less of a fun experiment edit, one and done.

I’m sure I will appreciate the Padme lives and the fact that it makes Sidious even more manipulative and vicious. However It it really the biggest change (a 180 change) that you’ve made and it could be contradicted in TFU, or upcoming material.

Now keep in mind nothing would stop you from changing the edit if that day comes though no matter what your decision is.

My three-year-old is enjoying it too, and he keeps asking when he’s going to see Darth Vader, but ever since that Dagobah dark side vision scene in ESB, he’s been somewhat apprehensive… perhaps it was too spooky for him.

Ha! I like you already! I’m all for kids watching R rated movies (obviously not if inappropriate but otherwise…). I feel like being scared from movies you’re not supposed to watch is kind of a rite of passage for movie fans.
I remember my godfather took me to see Willow in theaters when I was 8 and the lion-dog attack in the beginning freaked me out! When I was 12 or 13 and friend and I watched Terminator and her little brother had nightmares that night. But hey like I said it’s a rite of passage, it’s part of the fun 😃

I like the very beginning when it’s more like a grumble. When he starts yelling my biggest problem is the pitch is much higher, I don’t mind the gurgle as much because like some said it’s plausible in is current burnt to a crisp condition.

But either way I think the yell makes more sense then “nooo”. It’s more unbridled rage which goes nicely with the destruction around him.

Yeah, evidently having the file fit on a BD25 doesn't mean it'll necessarily fit when muxed to the right format. However, we found that omitting the alternate audio track allowed it to fit.

 Good idea. 

Question though, when I go to mux it I see 2 track for Audio that are in 5.1 and in ENG. I'm assuming one may be for Hearing Impaired but how can I tell which to take out?

Since I just watched v3 I'm not going to rewatch it just yet but I glanced at it and the deleted scenes are much better for sure! At least on my computer screen, we'll have to see how it is stretched out on my home theater.

And I'm very excited how you added the "jam the doors!" scene :)

BTW this is final right? I can burn a bluray without fear?

I used the 'plot to overthrow the Chancellor' scene in v3, so yes. It lets us see that Obi-Wan is in the know and involved with this stuff, giving a little more weight to his later dialogue about the Chancellor being evil and getting defensive about the idea of taking over the Republic as Anakin sees it. 

 Oh that sounds sweet! Because one of my biggest issues in the PT (well ep. 2 and 3) were how Yoda and the Council were completely blind to it all. "the Dark Side clouds everything" is a nice line but they really look like oblivious fools.

I mean come on Yoda! You can tell that a kid's future 10+ years down the line is clouded but you can't feel Palpatine is manipulating everything? Dooku even tells you the whole plot and you still don't know??

Aaaw shhhhh.... !

 Don't worry, V3 is totally fine and you shouldn't kick yourself for seeing it. Besides, Episodes II and III won't be coming immediately. If you've already downloaded V3, don't wait for V4. If you like it, just make a point to snag V4 at some point for keeps.

 Oh yeah no stress. I'm not kicking myself or anything but I'm excited for v4 because they may become my go to viewing for the PT.

The Padme family scene doesn't have to be weird if you just never watch the Phantom Menace and simply ignore that she was queen at one point... Which is how I like to remember my Star Wars... That Episode 1 never existed...

 Except that Hal, in the crawl, says "Padme Amidala, former Queen of Naboo"

I think her being a former Queen gives her gravitas and is good for her character. The problem is we're never explained why she abdicated and who replaced her. I feel it would have been better to keep her as Queen and have Jar Jar be the Senator/Ambassador.

And honestly I'd rather erase AtoC than TPM but that's just me :P
