- The Crawl. I already have it written. There are not heroes on both sides. There are heroes, there are villians.
- Battle Droid's voices. Especially the Super Battle Droids. Could they have sounded any less menacing?
- The Neimoidian that sounded like a California surfer dude.
- Palpatines cheesy "yes" line during the Dooku fight.
- Jar Jar's one line. It's lifted from Ep I and sticks out like a sore thumb. I would have taken 10 good Jar Jar lines (if there is such a thing) for this one throwaway. 'Scuse me.
- Padme's lone reference to being a senator, for consistency with my other edits.
- Anakin's "What have I done" line after Mace's demise. He's made his decision by this point and shouldn't second guess himself.
- Padme dying because she's losing the will to live. This is clearly written by a man who has no genetic children of his own. Children would have given Padme a reason to live. This is a simple fact of nature. Removing this line brings the story back to the simple notion that she survived long enough to birth the children, but died because of the wounds inflicted on her by Anakin. It underscores the monster that he became. Furthermore, it establishes that he made his own nightmare come true.
Now, if we could only get a definitive list of the deleted scenes that will be included (after all, we know not ALL the deleted scenes get included on the DVDs), then I could figure out what's going back in. Hopefully Qui-Gon's scene will be in the supplements. Padme starting the Alliance is good to, as it gives her character more screen time and resolves more plot issues. I wonder how many "Senator" references I'll have to kill here. More on Kashyyyk would be good as well. That plotline seemed really choppy, and I think it's because it was edited down too much. But we shall see. Three days later and I'm jonesing for the DVD already.
On the whole, it'll be the easiest re-edit of the prequels, just like MF suggested. I look forward to how he continues the Dooku-not-as-a-Sith plot. Should be fun as always.
