I'll invite him to comment on the specifics, but as I understand it, he gradually flipped the starfield during the length of the crawl so that at the beginning, it matched the background behind the title card and by the pan down, it was flipped vertically. It's almost perfect. I'm having some recompression issues in Womble that's making it look less than perfect, but once we resolve those, it'll be well-worth posting.
Oh boy! This is really exciting. I just have a couple questions:
1. Was this accomplished by taking frames of the regular starfield and the vertical starfield and slowly fading them together throughout the crawl?
2. By posting, do you mean through file download or torrent?
This is great; if I can get my hands on this, I'll definitely use it for my edit.
And now to the edit:
Look earlier in this thread. I have solved the problems with that scene. R2 does save Padme, but the whole incident with 3PO is cut, as is the droid's action in the arena.
I'm not sure what I would do about the Dooku duel(s).

-drop the "I think" from when Anakin says it's a short cut. He's supposed to be cocky, right?
That's a good point. Why would he display a lack of confidence in his own judgement? He wants to reassure Obi-Wan that he knows what he's doing.
Earlier in this thread, I explained that I will be solving that problem by dubbing the analysis robot in the deleted scene found on the DVD. The robot will identify the dart for Obi-Wan, eliminating Dex and the diner.
-drop the assembly line scene. Show Padme landing and riding the conveyor belt away, then show her being caught by Geonosians. Show Anakin jumping down and being surrounded by Jango and droidekas. I'd even go as far to drop the R2 and Threepio all together from Geonosis (assumably they'd stay on Padme's ship) but this might cue music problems during the arena battle. I know that might be blasphemous considering the droids are always in the think of things in every movie, but I feel they added very little to the Geonosis scenes.

-drop Obi-Wan's "Good call, my young padawan" line
It has been shortened to "Good call."
Definitely. I hated the CG creatures (especially the robot), and it wouldn't make sense for them to pledge their alleigance, already being there. This is a definite change.
-When Obi-Wan picks up the dart, I would overdub "Kamino". While it might not work perfectly, it would eliminate any need for Dex's "diner". I would still leave in Obi-Wan's search for information on Kamino. I know Cleveland is in northern Ohio, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't need directions to get there.

-drop Padme's "R2 what are you doing here?" line and just have Threepio tell them he has a message.
Very good idea.
-drop the seperatist dialogue/scene on Geonosis. I think it's unnecessary (not to mention poorly done). The seperatists are already there. Why do they need to pledge their allegiance? I would only leave in Dooku speaking.

Ditto.
Good suggestions though!
