Right now I have 5 different ways laid out to deal with the Qui-Gon thing, with varying difficulties. (all feasable for me, listed from easiest to hardest)
1. If the cut scene is on the dvd - easy enough.
2. Cut the reference outright as Qui-Gon already has another influencial voice over in my version of III anyway.
3. Widen the shot after Obi-Wan says "Qui-Gon!" and have him appear standing next to Yoda.
4. Fake the voice over scene with Yoda using cleverly edited Liam Neeson samples from his body of work and also include #3.
5. Have Liam ADR dialogue similar to the script, then include #3 as well.

And Rik's title on the cover is a creative decision that he was made privy to a few months ago.
While Revenge of the Sith is a cool sounding title, there's no real motivations for revenge.
Maul may say "At last we will have revenge", and Ki Adi does say they are extinct, but then the only backstory we have pre-Maul for their situation is Sidious killing Plagueis. Killing each other isn't the best motivation for revenge on someone else.
Originally I was going to keep the title, trim out the dialogue about Plagueis being killed by his apprentice and change the dialgue in the Mace scene:
"Anakin... Darth Plagueis was real!"
"Real?"
"He was my master... before I killed him."
to
"He was my master... before THEY killed him."
Then there is a precedence... But that exchange of dialogue was cut from the film.
